    Hunting & Fishing Big Texas hill country buck down!

    That is a good size deer especially for the area. I've hunted off Llano River between Junction and Mason years ago, we killed a lot of deer, but never seen one that good. Congratulations!

    MK262 clone 77Grain 5.56 load problems / updated OCW tests

    For the 75-77 class mag length ammo, from 23.2 - 24.0, you should find a good load for your set up. My rifles prefer 23.3 on bare 77s through Wylde chambers.

    F T/R Competition 300 Yard 20 shot record

    Stop shooting the golf tees, flying wood is not safe, besides the destroying range property is not cool... Seriously, that is one hard shooting. Congratulations on a performance others dream about.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a car pistol safe

    This. If I were to go places where my CHL carry is no legal I store the piece in the truck vault.

    243 Win for Precision .......

    What is the physical reason as to why the short neck case burns barrels quicker? Not challenging your statement, just curious. Are there some controlled experiments and hard data out there I can read? Please let me know.

    Range Report AMU does it again

    I was watching the AMU team when they shot rattle battle, was impressive watching the targets go up with hits in the mid to upper 30s at 600 for the straight away shooters, their swing shooters judging by their round hits were hitting close to 100%. The wind was not bad, I coached the TX Silver...

    variable gas for M1/M1A

    Lenny, I am using the Schuster bored and vented plug in my long range M1a. With a stout load of 168 Berger Hybrids the rifle runs easily and the brass is not beat up.

    White Oak Barrels

    Yes, John sells just the barrels. Give him a call and tell him I said Hi. If he does not have one available ready to ship, he can turn one around fairly quickly. I believe he has blanks in stock.

    M1A Rifle Questions

    Kiba, Spot on. I campaign 3 different M1As, 2 double lugged and 1 rear lugged, that I cycle through, all in McMillan M1A stocks. The number 2 gun, a double lug, is on the 2nd barrel on the same bedding and still have not seen any degradation in the X count (that is when Asthma is not taking me...

    White Oak Barrels

    Alternative to WOA barrels, try Keystone Accuracy. The owner, John Scandale, a former All Guard shooter knows his way around the black gun as well, not just turning barrels and making uppers. He has the barrels in stock and can turn the order around fairly quickly. I am using a couple of KA...

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    My experience using the same ammo for my service rifle through the space gun, I get additional 100 FPS, or somewhere around there. There is not enough powder capacity out of the small case to expect a lot of gain. Kudos to you for getting the young one involved.

    Long Range M1A/M14 loads (600 yds +)

    Give the Berger 168 Hybrids a try. These pills set the service rifle range record at 1000 yards last year at our long range championship. The BC higher than any bullets it its class, .519 is awesome in the wind.

    M1A Rifle Questions

    Don't sell the 14 types short. Properly built M1A/M14 in the hands of capable marksman does not take backseat to any gas gun. Research the Interservice records. Despite the ubiquitous AR/M16 on the line these days, some of the records held by 14s are still standing, including the 1000 point...

    IMR 4320, what's the best use

    Works great pushing the heavy loads in M14/M1 type rifles. Got the load from the late Don McCoy for the M1 Garand he built for me. 4320 pushing the 190 SMKs, in my case I am using the Berger 185 HPBT LRs.
