    Who DOES NOT clean the copper out of the bore?

    Along the same lines as above. I took a rifle course awhile ago where the instructor only cleaned his bolt rifle for carbon before he put it away. Never for copper. He was over 3000 rounds with no accuracy or reliability problems. None that I could see anyways. My experience/opinion is...

    Who DOES NOT clean the copper out of the bore?

    I don't know with certainty what is good or bad for the barrel. But I clean for carbon at the end of the day (not during the day no matter how much I shoot). I clean for copper when accuracy wanes. I have observed that copper cleaning results in a temporary, yet irritating, decrease in...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    That's cool. I do not know what the strict definition is for a suppressor. But it certainly does not suppress sound. Mr. Rice explicitly stated on his website and by phone discussions, that this item was reviewed by the ATF and deemed not to be a suppressor. Back then, my goal was not to...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    Actually it very much reduces flash. Apparently, flash is not visible past 25 yards. Also supposedly diffuses sound such that it is difficult to localize the sound of the blast. It reduces recoil considerably, although it could just be the weight of the thing. The device actually fits over...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    Eventually, gonna buy some Amax to try as well. But I have about 1000 scenars left. They shoot as well as I can expect so not highly motivated. The AMAx have a slightly better BC I think and they are less expensive than the scenars. Everyone seems super pleased with the Amax; it might be my...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    This is my first can. So I don't have much to compare it to except my friend's AAC supp for his bolt 308. Compared to his, mine is quieter and has a nicer sound== but this is somewhat subjective I think. It seems to do nothing to precision. It does change the POI straight down by about 0.5...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    Once my boy is older. All I will be doing is shooting and golfing. Assuming he likes those activities and my wife doesn't object-- too much.

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    This is the old rifle. McM a5. The cheekpiece I cut and shaped, also gouged out the stock, bondo'd it up and painted it so it would fit my blocky face and cheek. It is a blueprinted r700 .308 work done by Jerry Rice who retired a number of years ago. I think my rifle must have been one of...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    I don't shoot matches. I barely have time to get out to the local range to shoot rifle. I've got a demanding 3 year old and I like shooting trap and pistol too. Which, I guess, begs the question, why did I need another bolt rifle. Anyways, once in awhile I can make it out to Durr road, just...

    My new 6.5 Creedmoor

    Well it's not that new but I need 3 more post to be able to sell crap in the post exchange. I did shoot it for the first time at distance yesterday. Furthest target was 863 yd. DA=3000, wind 10-15, 6.8 mils. Velocity about 2750. Recoil is minimal especially suppressed. Accuracy was great...

    Maggie’s 13 Year Old Badass - Katelyn Francis

    Those morons don't understand what focus, work and discipline were required to achieve those results. It just reflects positively on her and her parents in my mind.

    Impressive young one. I can only dream that my 3 year old boy would have the discipline to shoot so well when he is 13. Enjoy all you dads out there. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/83127084/

    Re: 1911 Mags, what do you like? I like CMC mags. I like Tripp's too but sold those and have consolidated on CMC mags. I have a few Wilson's that came with a couple custom guns I have. Wilson's have springs that do seam to wear out faster than the CMCs. The Wilson ETM I am told by my...

    Sako TRG / KRG Whiskey 3 custom comb

    Re: Sako TRG / KRG Custom comb I would like to see a laterally adjustable comb for the w3 too. I recently received my chassis and am impressed by the look and feel of it, but wonder if a thinner or adjustable might not fit me better. If anyone has a thinner gen I cheekpiece they don't...

    Range Report OCW results. thoughts?

    Re: OCW results. thoughts? When I have tried OCW in the past, I tested more than 3 successive loads. More like 6; I like to see a definitive shift in group location. It looks like the higher node might be between 53.3-53.6 but it'd be nice to have more groups on either side. I try to shoot...
