Cleaning the rifle can mean different things I believe the action and chamber should be cleaned after every hunt or trip to the range especially gas guns. I don't want carbon ground into the precision fit parts as they move. the barrel is another story I only run a nylon brush through with a...
I have never used a blast shield even with Ultramags with brakes I just moved it out of the blast path works fine but a solid stand or tripod is a must! If your shooting session is more than an hour or two at a time get the battery pack and any good USB battery pack will work.
After reading your post I went to the log book for my 338rum and found velocity for the same bullet 300gr Berger otm the sweet spot was nearly 100fps different from my retumbo and US869 loads. all else equal seating depth ,once fired brass shot on the same day ,and no cleaning between . From my...
My vote is for the 338 RUM ! You can buy factory ammo fits in a standard Remington long action. Has the horse power to reach out with bullets up to 300gr .Will do everything a Lapua will do cheaper.
My rifle will consistently put down groups of five shots all touching at 200yds
Since it is your...
I think you would like the east side of the Cascades most of the Willamette valley is sanctuary cities with a pot shop on every corner and a bum sleeping in every door way . Might want to bring your lawyer to help you decipher the hunting and fishing regs . How about you tell us what Idaho is...
Welcome you have come to the right place. I have learned a great deal just reading the posts but if you need help chances are someone here has the answer so just ask.
Thank you for serving our country
Hang on those kids grow up in a hurry!
I think I would look at it as what is the biggest lathe I can fit in my garage /shop. I have a 15x50 turnmaster and it is great but as your skills and experience grow you will feel very restricted by a smaller machine. And yes the cost of the machine is small compared to GOOD tooling . Don't...
I built my brake 1.5" diameter three port with 18deg back angle .30" pipe15lb 338rum pushing 300gr bergers at 2780.the recoil is so light my son 12yrs old can shoot it .I average 1/2 minuet groups but the muzzle blast is huge it blows the flame out of my propane heater 6 feet away when I shoot...
With a pistol configuration I would definitely be looking at red dot. getting on target quick will be difficult with a scope on a pistol platform. Not likely to get much range from such a short pipe. I have been having success with my 512 trijicon and it uses AA batteries.
What bullets you plan...
