    223 vs 5.56

    You can shoot 223 through an AR labeled as 5.56. As was stated before, 5.56 is loaded to higher pressures. My AR labeled as 5.56 shoots 223 without a hiccup. But, I would not shoot factory loaded 5.56 through my varmint AR labeled as 223. Building your own loads using 5.56 brass would be a...

    Understanding the difference between Factory Hunting Rifles

    (+)1 for the bolt action .22. I would suggest that you contemplate a well made .22 with a decent trigger. I would also recommend going to as many different gun shops as possible to look at as many different rifles and hear different opinions. Good luck with your search

    Breaking in a barrel/load development

    Can a person perform load development while breaking in a new barrel? Will pressures change as the barrel is broken in? Thoughts and input appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    A dream AR platform?

    If I were going to do it again, I would buy a White Oak Upper. As it stands, I have a DPMS 20" bull barrel upper that shoots really well.

    New scope for the Nosler Professional

    SJB358, I can attest to the quality of the Z5. It is hands down my favorite scope. The price tag is a little hard to swallow, but you certainly know where your money went. I had been looking at the Z5 after picking up the STW last January. I decided against it because of the price. Back in...

    Dedicated lightweight rifle?

    My dedicated light rifle is a .240 Weatherby in a MK 5 ultra light weight at 5 3/4 pounds with a VX3 4-14 on top. Doesn't feel much different than carrying or shooting a .22.

    New scope for the Nosler Professional

    Thank you for all of the suggestions. Not sure what I will choose. I think that I am leaning toward the VX6. I may have to wait an extra two months to buy the Swarovski z5 4W 3.5-18 with the ballistic turret (my favorite scope) like I have on my STW. Just not sure that my wife will understand...

    Barrel life based on burn rates.

    This chart makes me sad...less than 400 rounds from my 30-378 with the 50 BMG. :oops: That poor barrel is more than half-way in the grave.

    New scope for the Nosler Professional

    Hopefully the Nosler Professional in 280 AI will be under my Christmas tree this year. There is a small delay since I am having a second clip made and they have to have the rifle there to make the clip. Most of the tasks associated with purchasing an new rifle in a new caliber have been...
