Yes, the Dollar Bill Slide is a quick way to check if a barrel is floated. But a bill is only .005". This does not provide enough clearance at the fore-end. It is possible, for example, to sling a rifle and cause enough torque on the fore-end to cause barrel contact with the channel if the...

When I have challenges like yours, I clean the hell out of the bore. Then check the action screws. Like everyone else here. There is one thing I would do different, and ya, it's a bit of a pain in the a_ _. I would take the scope off of your 300wsm that you know shoots sub-MOA and mount that...

From what I have read about annealing, it's the heating of the metal that promotes the rejuvenation of maleability and "springyness" that is lost when metal is work-hardened. Steel and other ferrous alloys require slow cooling. Brass, copper, and sliver can be cooled even suddenly -- as per...

Welcome, mgood. I'm pretty new here too. I've received good advice and dialogue from the helpful and knowledgeable people here. The only experience I've got with 8mm is my 32 WinSpl, so, I can't comment on it, as the 32 is a whole different animal. However, I've owned several Rem 700 -- in...

Hi Jag 2 points on the 308...... 1. I have shot 5 bull moose with the 308. All succumbed readily. Just put the bullet in the boiler room. None were too far -- 40 yards to 175 yards. The one at 40 yards was shot ass-wise (he had been wounded already.) That 180 Nosler Partition entered him on his...

So, what about a 9mm at close range, under 20 yards? I've got some 90 gr flat points at near 1,300 fps that I've always thought would do just fine on a broadside rib cage ??? I'd have to believe that the 147 gr bullets available today would also do the job effectively with broadside...

Nice testing! Thank you. Yes, those 95 BT's are very effective. Killed just one deer with 243. Used the 95 BT at 3,030 fps. Broadside through center of the ribs just behind the shoulder, a shy 100 yards. Exit wound just a bit bigger than a golf ball. A smallish deer (120 lbs?) just collapsed...

Regarding your comment about every other brand being produced in China.......... I have a few Cutco knives. The "Double-D" blades are nice, but I prefer the plain edge. Last I checked, still made in the Good Ole US of A. These knives are so damned hard that i have gutted 7-8 deer, skinned them...

Hi Guy, That's a great post about what sounds like alot of fun !! You write of "seeing bullet trace." You lost me there. Can you elaborate?

I have a peculiarity with a particular rifle, a semi-automatic Browning BAR that I have owned for many years. Most groups with a given ammunition (usually I use Remington Core-Lokt 180g - 308 Win -- but the same phenomenon happens with other ammo) will print shots #2, 3, 4, and 5 of a 5-shot...

Thank you, 1shot. I appreciate the input.

Primers are probably what I know least about as it pertains to hand-loading. Can someone offer where I can learn more about "Brisance" and "nodes" ?

After a bullet failure from a competitive brand premium bullet last year, I decided to get back to my roots, and load only Nosler Partitions, which have never let me down. My load for my 308Win was always as follows: - Single-lot, R P Brass, partially-sized, and trimmed to 2.010 - CCI 250...
