    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    First off, I have <span style="font-weight: bold">zero</span> machinist experience! I'm wanting to drill a hole in a Ruger Revolver (investment cast frame) and thread in a set screw.

    GemPro 250 Digital Scale - Awesome!!

    Re: GemPro 250 Digital Scale I bought one a couple years ago and love it. Before I bought mine, a good friend of mine several states away went through some 243 bullets until he found one that weighed 100.00gr per his GemPro 250. He sent me the bullet to use as a check-weight on my balance...

    Hornady L-N-L AP press accessories

    Re: Hornady L-N-L AP press accessories +1 on the case feeder! I held out for about a year and finally got one; I love the thing. Beyond that the only accessory I got was the ergo handle from In Line Fabrication. I got sick of the plastic ball on the end of the Hornady handle and I've really...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wheel Gun: Feeling the need for a .44 Mag

    Re: Wheel Gun: Feeling the need for a .44 Mag I'm a big fan of the 44 Mag and have Rugers, Colts, and S&W's. This Redhawk gets shot the most; Followed by the S&W's; here's one of my favorite, a Pre-29. And, of course an Anaconda. My personal thoughts will echo those of ROLEXrifleman...

    Thinking about a 338 LM...Thoughts?

    Re: Thinking about a 338 LM...Thoughts? I'd finish it at 27-28", no need to cut it's legs out velocity-wise (the rifle's going to be heavy no matter what!). Mine is 27.5 and I've not regretted the length.

    Hornady Progressive Case Feeder over feed

    Re: Hornady Progressive Case Feeder over feed I agree with the others, sounds like the drop tube is not adjusted properly. What cases are you trying to run through it?

    Plane hits car... at my airfield

    Re: Plane hits car... at my airfield I'd expect the driver of the SUV to have a better situational awareness than that. With that said, WTF is a road doing directly perpendicular to a runway? You always have to plan for the lowest common denominator, and in this case Murphy's law has proved...

    .338 lapua brass

    Re: .338 lapua brass I would not buy once-fired brass, ever, for anything. Brass has memory, the molecular structure of it is permanently modified each time it's fired. Resizing it does not put the molecules back the way they were, if it did you wouldn't see the case length grow with each...

    Brand new vs. Pulled 175 SMK Test

    Re: Brand new vs. Pulled 175 SMK Test Interesting comparison, but obviously the accuracy potential of the 175 SMK is beyond 1 MOA- thus I don't really feel like this proves all that much. Whether it was the shooter, the barrel, the weather, or the load (charge weight, OAL) it appear that...
