    Nosler RDF Target Bullets for "Hunting"

    IN old mexico we shoot at running goat/sheep at 400m or more in competition, and many of us shoot sierras, or nosler cc, I also have been thinking of shooting this next hunting season with the RDFs from my creedmoor, 260 or 6.5-284.. I have seen sierras matchking make the biggest exit holes on...

    Chassis Rifle Factory - Who's building the best?

    I own two AICs and work very well but are stupid heavy. I am not a Navy Seal... will not buy another one from them. way too heavy.. I own a couple of fiberglass stocked rifles and love them, one has an aluminum chassis and the other does not. accuracy does not diminishes a lot, one of these...

    Jewel Trigger - Why the shortage???

    I´ve been to their shop where they assemble the triggers, pretty lame, maybe because it looks like my shop, hahaha.(6000 sq. ft. of boxes everywhere..). I like jewell triggers more than anschutz´s thats why I own several.. one in my 338 edge 308 silhouette rifle 300 win mag hunting...

    Vortex owners question...little problem...

    what brand of rings/bases are you using?, are they lapped? try loosening the rear ring(from the scope), try turning it again, if it loosens, get a torque-meter and do it according to the book. I bought a warne torx set up for riflescopes, works very well. that happened to me with a leupold...

    Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the "Rifle of the Century" I wish I could have one of this rifles, if only they could shoot as any of my customs rifles for almost half the money.... something just does not add up.. the ones I have shot have not impressed me. accurate but not...

    Ballistics Question

    so after all this testing, what do you adjust, mv or bc? I have EXBAL, and dont always get "real close". I´ve worked with several programs, and EXBAL is about the closest I can get to real life, but I have always lived with some degree of inacurracy...maybe my shooting..haha. I have shot...

    Patternmaster chokes

    I have shot a lot of geese with it, it works by shortening the "shot string" thus when you hit, you put all the pellets in the zone, but missing is also easier. most of my friends went back to a conventional full or extrafull choke(here in mexico we still shoot lead). I still use it sometimes...

    opening a 3030 bolt to magnum?

    thanks, from my point of view, the 54 action was never chambered for a high pressure caliber anyway. the rifle as it was given to me is worth nothing because the barrel is crooked at the muzzle end. but the action is pristine. thanks again. Joe

    opening a 3030 bolt to magnum?

    I found a win 54 in 30 wcf and want to use it as donor to make me another 338 edge or maybe a 7 rem mag. is it worth the trouble, I´ve had luck with winchesters 70 in custom jobs, but never in a win 54... is it just opening the boltface to magnum? of course I would need to work on the...

    Making Lathe Turned Bullets
