    Etched bf & jam

    Any chance that your bolt has a coating on it? The ridge looks like the primer, case contact has polished the bolt face and left a ridge of coating.?? I am not there, 2D picture and all, Ceracoate and such being common... Ok I would then look at a carbon ring starting to form in the throat...

    I am a fan of 27" length. The muzzle blast at 20" with H4350 is something else. You can always shorten it...

    Mexican Troops Draw down on US Troops

    Preach it, brother! I am in Cochise County, I can take you to backpacks and camp spots anytime. Both side of I-10. The trash thins out at the Union Pacific line. I don't ride or gather cattle without a side arm. I too have seen and stood in the hides they use to watch the B.P. "But the...

    .223 20” 1:9 twist

    I shoot the Hornady 75 gr. HPBT in my 16" rifle 1 in 9" twist, H4895. Pretty happy out to 800. Sounds like a cool build. Have fun

    Purpose of the flap on the front of the prone shooting mats?

    Took my shooting mat hunting, caught unlimited crap from the guys. Threw it under my sleeping back and padded the boulder for comfort the next morning. Easier to sit still that way. If it annoys you fold it under the portion you are using before you cut it off. I find it very helpful and slide...

    Gunsmithing Setting headspace; how tight is too tight?

    One thing that can affect this dimension with reloading is a tolerance stack in the dies and shell holder. Mismatched brands bit me once. If new brass, well disregard.

    Getting Carbon on the neck on my reloads

    No matter what, with these powders, clean your chamber and throat very frequently. That carbon will create a carbon ring slowly and then critical build up happens. That is when frustration starts. Had on in my rifle KICK my butt. Had a hell of a time getting it out. Rifle works as normal now...

    If you can't talk Politics and Police, I will stop it all

    I have a Lincoln welding machine made in 1976, EVERY dial on that thing including the wire feed goes to 11! Make a day of welding better remembering this clip every time I use that beast! Oh Bring on page 11 "'cause 11 is better than 10!" Haha

    Gunsmithing M-1 Garand Match sight

    Does anyone here know if the hooded aperture front match sights are still made? Or N.O.S. anywhere? Seems I am behind the curve, again, and the M-1 stuff is discontinued. Any leads are appreciated. Learned A LOT here and hoping to learn more. Thanks

    2x4's or steel tube for gong rack?

    If you guys are hanging targets and have an industrial bolt or tractor supply/dealer in your area you use plow bolts. 1/2 plow bolts are fairly inexpensive and the head is as hard as the AR500 plate. No more shot out carriage bolts. I have friends who only load chain and bolt seeking...

    My first Arizona mule deer was shot at 525 yards. The far shoulder was only held on by skin....200 grain Barnes LRX was through and through. ELK at 400 yards the bullets were recovered in the far side hide. That will do...

    30-06 still relevant?

    Seems everyone who has a brake on their 6.5 and 223 doesn't run one on their '06. 5lb hunting rifle against 11-12lb target/ hunting rifle is night and day. 208gr HPBT at 2750fps and the rifle recoils like my 223. 27" braked 11.5 lb 1917 action rifle. Build the rifle like any other"tacticool"...

    1,000 yard Diopter System

    Nice read. I enjoy information in a "keep it simple, but thorough" presentation. You are spot on, regarding how important the case consistency is! my 30-06 would show a 1 grain case weight change a 1000yards target. weight separate cases and verticle spread really settled down, clearly showing...
