Turning it past 2 didn’t get any more velocity, just more noise.

Having a rifle capable of shooting tiny groups is less important than knowing where that shot grouping will land, if you are trying to hit a target with the first shot.

We have a difference of opinion about what’s more important, the indian or the arrow, try not to be such an internet blowhard.

Give an off the shelf sporter barrel .243 to a benchrest shooter and let him develop a load for it, he will shoot it more accurately than the nicest 6mmbr rifle in the hands of a lesser skilled shooter that hasn’t filled up notebooks with data and figured out exactly where his bullets will go at…Read more

Perhaps for you Elsolo, but I don’t buy into that statement.

I have been dealing with those factors most of my life as I have been a long range shooter since the age of 12, it started for me shooting into my old man’s plowed field and realized the 1 mile range statement on the 22 ammo box was bullshit. The cultimation…Read more

The only Ruger parts left are the receiver and bolt. I kind of went overboard upgrading it 10 years ago. It’s dead nuts accurate, but I can’t shoot it at…Read more

That young lady has already done something many of us old timers have never done.

Until about 50 years ago, most houses were built with lead pipes for water service.

The EPA changed the lead exposure limits recently by moving the decimal point over one.

Pure elemental lead is not as bio-available as lead salts (like found in paints).

I sanded down the wood to remove the brown stain, checkering, and Benjamin name on the fore end. This won’t fix the dimensional issues, but it might cut down my hatred for the wood to a more tolerable level. It is getting coats of boiled linseed…Read more

If you want to tune a .22, I’ll send you mine.

Loctite the retianer in place, or shim the gap so the retainer can get tightened up.

Maybe I don’t understand the problem.

Pry out the tophat / stem.
Unsrew the brass retainer that is behind the tophat.
Drop the delrin valve head and spring out into your hand.

The airport people can now drop a pencil into your tank’s empty valve orifice.

Letters from politicians or local gun clubs, that’s a new one.

It was basically replaced by the slightly shorter 10mm, the .40 S&W.

Ammo is expensive if you don’t reload.
If you don’t reload, just get a 9×19.

I have shot many of the more popular makes and models of .50BMG, have an Armalite AR-50, but have never seen the black arrow at any of the .50 shoots I attend.

For what they sell for, there are better models on the market.

More like 900-1000 psi normally, that is where CO2 sits under normal conditions.

Don’t want to drill the frame, get any 11mm accessory mount* and tap that. Cut it down as necessary for aesthetics.

*scope ring, weaver adapter, etc

Pressure * Volume = constant * constant * Temperature

Temp and pressure should be linear.

(this is off the top of my head, I haven’t studied this crap in 20 years)

I thought the moly coated bullet fad was over?

It doesn’t reduce fouling, increase accuracy, improve barrel life, or have any other proven benefit. (centerfire rifles)

I don’t think anybody winning matches is using it.

I can barely find the 30 minutes a week to pull the handle on the Dillon to make the 300-400 rds used for action pistol every week.

Since I would currently have to pay for such services, I have never done it to anything.

I have been thinking of getting this rifle for the local bench rest competition at 50 yards…

I think they are around $500 and are tackdrivers…

That rifle will not be competetive in benchrest.

Why not? 😕

That rifle will not be competetive in benchrest.

That wasn’t a CA law, but Federal; and was for cartridges in popular pistol chamberings.

I have never given a thumbprint to buy ammo in CA. There is no CA state law requiring ID or fingerprints, get your facts straight.

The best ones there for my purposes would be the 100 for $115 ball, but they are light at 640 gr. My rifle doesn’t shoot boreriders worth a darn.

The ones I shoot were made by a local shooter, he had a machine shop crank out a few tens of…Read more
