Has anyone used this conversion on the Encore to use a .25acp or 22 Hornet case? Did it have any effect on your group size? Thanks, Rich

I went into my local gun store(Moe Hardware in Black River Falls, WI cheaper than WalMart btw) today and traded my Contender for an Encore SS Lam. M/L. I stood there like an idiot picking up the Savage M/L II and then the Encore and back and forth... Finally I decided the advantage of changing...

Has anyone had any dealings with the Armalite AR-10 in .243? I like the AR platform and love the round but I'm wondering if they pulled it off. I was just wondering about function and accuracy. Do they make an A2 version of this?

Would you rather have a STS Vanguard or T3? I have a Tikka 695 in 300 Mag. and love it, but I've never shot a Weatherby. The Vanguard is guaranteed to shoot 1.5" groups but I can do that sometimes with a Mossberg 12 ga. Your opinions are appreciated.

I went into Gander Mountain today to buy a Savage M/L. They didn't have any so I got quickly distracted by a Tikka in 243 WSSM. I heard some good things about it but haven't looked at them too close. I was curious about it so I walked over to the ammo shelf and took a look at the round. WOW...

Tomorrow after work I'm going to have a look at a rifle someone has for sale. It is a 700 BDL chassis with a HS Precision stock, lapped bolt with a Sako extractor, Timney trigger, Leopold rings and mount, Simmons scope :? and a Rock Creek stainless inverted barrel. I'm not familiar with Rock...

Has anyone heard of this? I've heard rumors but haven't seen any. I'm going to buy a new ML and can't decide between a Savage and an Encore. The availability of a smokeless barrel would decide it! Thanks, Rich

About 15 years ago I traded for, among other weapons, a 700 BDL Varmit rifle in 22-250. This was about a six gun deal done in the basement of the other guys house with pour lighting. The guy really bragged her up saying it would put three shots in a dime. About a month later I finally got the...

I've suddenly developed a problem with my Uniflow powder measure. I can weigh five charges in a row and it will be within .005 grains, then suddenly I'll get a charge that's two grains light and the next one will be two grains heavy. I took it apart and I can't find anything that would cause the...

Anyone have a good load using Sierra 135gr Matchkings and IMR4350 or Reloader 22 in a .270 Winchester ? I can't find this bullet in any of my manuals. By the way is it poor taste to ask this question in this forum? :oops:

Has anyone tried this cutter that trims, chamfers and deburrs cases in one step? If so, what is your opinion of it? I've loaded a couple hundred rounds of rifle ammo in the last 2 weeks and would love it if there was something to eliminate a step or two. I would just like to see if it works as...

I was loading .308 win. tonight and I noticed that the can of Hodgdon BLC2 had a .308 load on it that called for 48gr. for the 150 gr. ballistic tip. I checked the Speer manual I have and they say 44gr. Both companies are claiming theirs is the max load. Does anyone know why there is such a...

I have a question regarding pressure. Is there a way of caculating pressure when working up a new load. I've also been told you can look at the case and see signs of excessive pressure. I'm trying to come up with a load for my TC Contender in .35 Remington using a 225gr. Ballistic tip, but I...
