    Husqvarna 9000 270

    I have a Husqvarna my dad picked up from a pawn shop in the early 60's for $50 chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It had a cheap scope on it you had to hug to see through. Dad got his eye brow bit a couple of time and the gun sat until he gave it to me in the mid 70's. I put a better scope on it and used...

    Leupold Scopes...Do you trust them today?

    Well I got my gun (rifle) out and made sure it wasn't broken then took to the range. Zeroed the turret and shot a 3 round sub MOA group at 100 yds. Dialed 4.5 MOA elevation and 0.25 MOA left and hit a small watermelon sized rock at 440 yds, 2 shots 2 hits. Then dialed 22.75 MOA elevation and 0.5...

    Rear shooting rest while hunting

    I use the bag my Sea to Summit backpack cover came in. Filled a sandwich bag full of the corn material from my brass polisher and stuffed it in. Standing on end I get 5 or 6 inches of lift on its side 2 or 3. Been working fine for 3 years now.

    My salt bath annealing

    I added his store page to my favorites and checked in a couple of times a day. Within a week he had some and mine is on its way.

    Caliber selection

    Probably the opposite direction you're looking for but I've been having fun with my new 224 Valkyrie. I've had it out to 650 yds, need to find some place that goes to 1,000. You could just replace the upper on your 223 if it's an AR 15 platform then get some 6.8 magazines and you're good to go...

    AB Android App

    I've loaded the Android AB App onto a friends LG device. When I go to the Bullet Library to add a new load the Environmental sections are grayed out. I can't add the Baro. pressure, Pressure is Absolute, temperature or Humidity for when the round was Chronographed. I've been through all the...

    Sparks and AR500?

    Communication has been a big discussion point for the committee. We all need to take a much more active roll in assuring that takes place. Craig O.

    Sparks and AR500?

    That's where I'd like to head with this voyage of discovery. One of the commonly used shooting areas on this state land has been used for 35 or 40 years that is documented. At one time there were 6 or 7 concrete benches installed by a local Muzzle loader club. Over the past 10 or 15 years it has...

    Sparks and AR500?

    I don't mind the regulations if they are based on scientific fact and common sense. As you said if there was more common sense we would need fewer regulations. From what I've read of the report so far what you're probably seeing are bullet fragments that have enough kinetic energy converted to...

    Sparks and AR500?

    I'm on an advisory committee for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) concerning shooting on the Wenas Wildlife Area. A concern here in Eastern Washington is wildfire. The Cheatgrass infestation provides large amounts of tinder just waiting to ignite. Does anyone know of studies...
