Is jealously appreciated :-) What was the cost, please.
Check for tolerance stack on your mount screws, i.e., a too long screw in a too shallow hole.

First, Muddy Waters rules. Second, the NOE RCBS 30-180-FN @ 205 grs RTL works great in my SKS @1700 fps. Third, you couldn't pay me $100,000 to hunt the hogs in my woods with a 22 short!
Same here with no problems with bad or broken Burris scopes returned for repair. Only think I don't like is they are now made in the Philippines, and they don't have the disk-like covers. The...

JWFilips, this has me taking another look at my Turk. I have about 800 - 900 Lyman 323471 bullets @ ~220 grs Ready To Load. As the photo below shows they shoot very well indeed @ ~ 1600 fps. When...

When the hoarders start unloading their stashes we can expect lots of improperly stored powder to hit the gun shows. I won't buy it for $1 a lb.

Another vote for the Lee Perfect. I can't believe how much I like this cheap and cheap looking measure!

There is--with a camera. I've seen many photos of jacketed bullets in flight. Exactly none of a cast bullet in flight.

It would be nice to see high-speed photos of cast bullets at different, increasing velocities at maybe 2 feet from the muzzle. I wasted many hours and many bullets trying to understand why my Turk...

We bought my dad a 742 30-06 for Christmas many years ago. I have it now. I thought about cleaning it and hunting with it, but it's like made of lead it's so heavy.

Yep, I have one. Haven't used it yet, however.

Classy, I say. Both Tim and the artistry on that sight.

I use a plain ol' brass brush for a 22 caliber, IIRC. Whatever diameter brush enters the patent breech with very slight force. If you don't clean it out, you'll get misfires. In case you don't...

Ten to 12 grs of Pyro P and there will be enough left of a squirrel to eat. If yours doesn't put 3 PRBs in one hole @ 25 yards, you're doing something wrong. Also it has a patent breech so you'll...

Consider making the lower mount section with a standard 3/8" dovetail and in sizes to fit military Mausers, SKSs, Mosin-Nagants, etc.

Nope. The warning was because chips fly everywhere.
