I love a happy ending . congrats on another good shooter . was this a new rifle ?

I would guess the small primer brass would take higher PSI better than the larger primer brass . maybe these are from +P ammo ?

NEVER , oil a firing pin assy . , or trigger . oil gets gummy and attracts dirt . this oil gets thick and gummy in cold temps . when you have time , take the bolt apart wash it out good , I use automotive brake cleaner . after it dries put cigarette lighter fluid over all the pieces ...

this is from an Email I just got about rimfires . I remembered mentioning weak firing pin springs being related to poor accuracy . Tips From The Test Range "We've really seen that firing pin springs are important. If your groups are consistently taller than they are wide...

I was trying to think of the site I bought nosler bullets from , before SPS . " Bivwak " I'd never thought of that . I had a large purchase when Nosler quit using them . I called Nosler to check on my order , and got the purchase finalized . the guys at Nosler were great .

you guys that hunt Africa , do you take your guns , or rent from the outfitter ? I'm not sure how hard taking a gun is .

you're not the first to tell me how easy they are to find accurate loads with them . guys have told me on game performance is very good too .

IF or when , I try mono's again , it will be Hammers . the guys that use them seem to be more than happy with , the ease of load development , and on game performance .

some of the hollow points are plugged up with something . I "THINK" it could be polishing media ? some of these holes are filled solid with the junk . others are plugged a little at the front then break through to the hollow cavity . some are partially filled in the cavity , with an open hole...

I'm not trying to argue for , or against Berger bullets . I don't know how they are supposed to work either . I did a bunch of looking on Bergers site , and found no theory on how they open . I did jug test a couple , and posted the results in the bullet test section . if the bullet...

I stumbled into this Berger FAQ , while looking for other info . thought you guys might be interested . I knew match shooters used minimum twist rates , but didn't know why . Why do you recommend the slowest twist? Spinning a bullet faster than necessary can amplify any inconsistency in...
