    Advanced Marksmanship Eye Issues and shooting

    I’m on the post Cataract surgery side in my support/weak eye and wondering how a shooter deals with shots from the support side with compromised vision. Before surgery I was 20/440 and now am closer to 20/40 in that eye. My focus is more for hunting, but see it possible in some competitions...

    Odd Head Stamp

    Getting ready to do some load development for the 35 Whelen and pulled a quick pause. Most of my brass looks to be formed from 30-06 of various headstamp. So, sit down and sort for load consistency. Luckily there are two boxes of Remington factory 2x fired. As to the rest, there are Norma, WW...

    Carbon Ring, causes?

    This came up in another thread and I thought that I would follow @supercorndogs suggestion of breaking it out. I am going to approach this as a novice, even though I have some experience. Which powders/calibers seem to create a carbon ring? Where does this occour in the barrel? How do we...

    Gunsmithing Aftermarket Stock for Remington 660

    I know that this is a long shot. I have a Remington 660 that was custom built during the early ‘80’s using a fiberglass stock for a 700 Short Action. I really like everything about it except for how the grip sits (too far back) and am looking for a new composite stock and BDL/Obendorf bottom...

    Ammunition Recomendation

    A little background. I have been competing in NRA Lever Action Small Bore Silhouette for about 20 years. Currently, I am ranked as an AA class shooter working on my second or third leg to AAA. My rifle is a 1920’s vintage Marlin 39 (not 39A) with a Marbles Tang sight. My go to ammo has been...

    Budget Tripod Saddle

    Good evening all, I am starting to dip my toes into a higher level of precision shooting coming from a hunting and action shooting background. The majority of my rifles are traditional sporter/hunting stocks except for my heavy 22-250 built in the ‘80’s from an Argentine Mauser. I already have...

    Returning Member from NorCal

    I’m a returning member from NorCal (~100 miles south of Oregon). Primary interests are hunting and Silhouette Competition, but looking to learn from everyone. Currently working with Ruger, Remington, Howa, and Mauser platforms in 7mm 08, 6.5 Grendel, 22-250, and 6.5x57 Swede. I do reload, but...

    Yep, they are different........

    I just spent a fair bit of time and components on trying to develop a load for my deer/hunter silhouette rifle. Since we have a hunt coming up in a lead free area, I am using Barnes TTSX 7mm bullets in my 7mm-08. Took the Barnes book and started with their accuracy load since I already had...

    Sizing Die for each Rifle?

    I am hitting a quandary, I have two rifles in the same caliber, one with a SAMMI Minimum chamber and one with a generous but still in spec. chamber. Is it better to re-size ALL of my brass for the tight chamber? Or should I get separate sizing dies for each rifle? At the moment, I am full...
