    Firearms Feinwerkbau 300s .177 Target Air Rifle

    This is the gun that started it all for me in 1986 in ROTC. I learned 3 Position shooting with this rifle in high school. Those were the days. These were an Olympic grade pellet rifle in the early 80s and will punch a single hole at 20 meters. Out of nostalgia, I purchased this one when I taught...

    6 Dasher Bushing size

    Change that. Alpha brass on the way. Forgot what a pain in the ass it was to start loading for a new caliber.

    6 Dasher Bushing size

    Building my first 6 dasher. I’ve been off the loading bench for 4 years and I’m out of the loop. Does anyone have any bushing size recommendations. My plan is to use Peterson Brass, (Lapua is not out of the question either though) and since I have 1000 108 Berger hybrid target lying around, and...

    Auto Trickler cover idea

    Don’t know if anyone has come up with this one or passed it on but I was looking at some spare scope caps lying on the bench while loading a few days ago and realized this Butler Creek fit my Auto Trickler perfectly. Can’t recall the size but the flip up cap is great if you’re loading over a...

    SOLD Sinclair F-Class Bipod

    I’ve got a Seb Mini now so I’m letting go of my Sinclair F-Class Bipod with Elevation Knob. This one comes with the standard setup for a sling stud as well as a Picatinny adapter. It’s in really nice condition with only a small amount of wear on the sled feet. New $289 + $55 for adapter...

    SOLD Found - Looking for an A&D fx120i scale

    Did you ever find a scale? I’m considering selling my auto trickler and scale. My wife has some health issues and I simply don’t have time for a much shooting as I’d like. Figured I’d see if anyone was looking for one before I placed an ad. I plan to load up about 300 rounds for my 6mm and 6.5...

    Burnt Out Barrel?

    Having seen what kind of havoc a carbon ring will cause I’m a firm believer in cleaning now. I followed that “don’t clean till things go south” mantra till it bit me in the ass. I believe a lot of this is blind leading the blind. Or I read it in a forum so it must be true. Every caliber is...

    Any home based FFL's here wanna help me get started?

    I can speak only for my town. I was NOT able to get my FFL out of my home. I’m not zoned commercial. Now, if I was able to run a home based business and get a variance from the city that would have worked. My neighborhood does not allow home based business like gunsmithing. Therefore I had to go...

    Ammo recommendations, 6CM

    The Hornady ELDM 108 Match bullets are out of stock everywhere. The Berger 108 Boat Tail Target is good as is the above mentioned Hybrids. Both the 109 and 105. I can’t speak to factory ammo since I don’t shoot it but I’ve seen guys running Prime and the Hornady 108 Match. Most everyone is...

    Begara quality

    Bergara is a victim of two things. One, producing a nice, accurate rifle at a decent price, which has greatly increased demand. With increased demand comes increased production. With increased production comes the likelihood of a QC issue popping up here and there. And Two. They are falling...

    6 Dasher Brass question? Peterson

    I can only speak for 6Creed but I’m on my 10th firing of Peterson brass right now and it shows no signs of giving up anytime soon. I put it right in line with Lapua brass. Fantastic stuff. As an aside, I accidentally got a piece of Hornady brass mixed in when I was annealing and figured it out...

    I’ve seen the light.

    His gunsmithing videos are great as well. They amount to “let me tell you what you are doing wrong” Every time this guy puts out a video it’s like a new episode of Saturday Night Live.

    So what is the going rate for primers?

    Things will slowly return to normal once we all have what we consider to be a comfortable quantity of any given component or ammunition on hand. Going rate has a lot to do with where you live in the country. Here in Baton Rouge, we only have a few LGS, Academy, Bass Pro and Cabelas to choose...

    I’ve seen the light.

    For all of you who have been doing ladder tests and seating depth tests, you might be doing it all wrong. Watched a video this morning that was a revelation. I present the “spitball method” to revolutionize your reloading practices. The first 5 minutes of this video are gold.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Yup. The first block Odin sent leaked like a sieve. It was rattling on the barrel it was so oversized. The second one was tight on the barrel but still leaked from the front of the gas tube since the tube was a fairly loose fit and the front of the block at the gas tube is open on the Odin. As...
