    Suppressors Question about EForm ATF form 1 filing

    I just created an account and E-filled for the first time last night a Form 1 as a trust. I noticed that they don't have you answer as much information as on the paper copy. For example on the EForm they never ask for any of the block 13 Transferee questions. I thought that was...

    H4350 30-06 load with 208 AMax Quickload access?

    Does anybody with access to quickload mind giving some data for 30-06 pushing 208gr Amax with H4350? I'm tired of using RL-22 with its temp variations for me. It will be shot through a Kreiger 5R 1/10 twist 24" barrel. I'm looking to push them in the 2600-2700 fps range, nothing crazy...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield XD 45 compact wouldn't fire in cold

    To my surprise two weeks ago my Springfield Armory XD 45 Compact wouldn't fire in temps below 40 degrees. It has a springer precision trigger job. I called them up and they told me that the polymer was likely shrinking and not allowing the trigger to go back as far as required to release. I...

    Throat erosion in 30-06 experiences?

    What's considered normal throat erosion in a 30-06? I just took a measurement with my Stoney point gauge and found that after 520 rounds the throat had progressed .06-.065" since when new. I'm using mostly 180 gr accubonds loaded with 60.5 gr RL 22 and 168 SMK with 49.5 gr of Varget. Both are...

    Hornady headspace gauges?

    I just recently got some headspace gauges so I could accurately set up my full length resizing die for my 30-06. Problem is that I actually increase the headspace (case grows) and then the die is touching the shell holder, so I never get any bump back and I run out of adjustment. Is there...

    Range Report HSM 30-06 ammo

    I'm going to take a course at the Badlands range next year, and don't want to reload the 350+ shells that I would need. I saw that HSM makes 30-06 match grade ammo. Does anyone have any experience with their ammo in the 30-06?

    When to retire brass?

    I'm using 30-06 Winchester brass, which I neck turned when new. I've gotten 7 reloads so far out of the lot of brass that I'm using. Using a paper clip on the inside and I can't detect any impending case head separations, and everything else looks good. The primers are easy to seat now, but...

    Trade for a box 208gr A-max (100ct) in the box????

    I just can't find a load to shoot the 208gr Amax the way I want them too in my 30-06, so I'm parting ways with them. I have an unopened box of 208gr A-Max that I would trade for a box of Nosler 180gr Accubonds which do shoot the way I want: Anybody interested?

    Seating Die question 30-06

    I use a Hornady Seating die and it leaves a ring around my bullets bellow the tip. It particularly happens with 208 gr A-Max bullets, but it also occurs with 180 gr Accubonds. It seems to be worst with compressed loads. Does anyone have any fixes or recommendations. If I change dies, any...

    Gunsmithing Any 30-06 shooters out there?

    I recently had S&S precision re-barrel my rifle with a Kreiger Remington Varmit Contour with 5R rifling in 30-06. Stick and his crew at S&S precision are primarily benchrest shooters and they told me that the barrel will last around 1900 rounds. That seems low for a 30-06, does anyone have...

    Rifle Scopes Question about windage adjustment on my rifle

    I've previously run a 20 MOA Leupold standard 1 piece base that has adjustable windage on the back ring itself. I did this so I could run the scope mechanically zeroed for windage (otherwise I had to crank in 15 MOA Left to zero windage) I just changed to a 20 MOA nightforce base that I bedded...

    Sig Mosquito

    I'm thinking about picking up a Sig Mosquito for the kids to learn to shoot. Does anybody have any thoughts? I like the feel of it over the the Walter P22, but I have heard that they can both be finicky with ammo. I'm thinking about going the threaded barrel, so that I can buy a can for it later.
