    Projectile Identification...

    Hello everyone. I've posted this in the reloading section also but haven't gotten many bites. I'm trying to help my bestfriend's son ID this round. Today at the range he found a projectile lying next to the berm. It was not deformed but it was rusted. I lightly sanded the rust off and then...

    Projectile Identification

    Today at the range my besfriends son found a projectile lying next to the berm. It was not deformed but it was rusted. I lightly sanded the rust off and then hand polished it a bit. The bullet is a boattail and seems to be solid steel. Without a mic handy, I used a ruler and got the approximate...

    5@200

    Other than the one flier and being 1" high, I was fairly impressed with the factory 168 FGMM. Never had too much luck with it until now. Shot with a slightly modified 10FP; stock barrel and action.

    Maggie’s 24" REMS

    While I was at work today, me and one of the Chem E's were talking. He ask me what I thought about the 24" 5R REMS. I told that I liked them and they get good reviews but I had never sho... And before I could finish my statement, thuggy the clown chimes in, "Dim ain't be fitting' yo Honda! Dey...

    5@200. Requesting critique.

    Looking for a critique of those with more knowledge than I. Maybe you see something that I don't. Should I stick with the load that produced this group; 168 SMK, 42gr Varget, BR2 primers, Lapua brass and an OAL of 2.828" (max depth is 2.838"). Or should I keep tweaking it? The smaller squares...

    Maggie’s My neighbor doesn't like plastic guns!

    I was in the garage tinkering with my wife's Camaro when my neighbors walked up and commented on my "Team GLOCK" banner. This is our conversation... Him: Do you shoot? Me: Every chance I get. Him: Got a Glock? Me: Yes. I've also got a few Kimbers and Sigs. Him: Never heard of them...

    Member Link Up North/Northwest GA shooters?

    I'm looking to chat with shooters in North and Northwest GA about area ranges. The range that I have been using went private and the prices they are charging for their very limited venues are astronomical. Thanks in advance, Josh

    Base shim instead of bedding; Pro's & Con's?

    I haven't attempted either of these yet, but I was curious to everyone's thoughts on this. I attempted a search, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. My thinking is to use an old set of feeler gauges to make up the difference on the rear of my one piece base as an alternative to...

    Need help from Savage owners. Extractor question.

    Hey everyone. I've used the search function to no avail. Any-who, as I'm sure you've found out, the extractor on these rifles is a tension slip design with nothing more than a tiny spring and ball bearing. Does anyone know the spherical diameter of that ball bearing? The reason I ask is...

    Cool story about a custom .25-06

    My Dad has been a gun collector for most of his life and has/had a good many cool arms. There is a shop in town that purchases guns from estate sales all over GA and the owner will call my Dad when he runs across any pre64's, Parker's, LC Smiths, etc. and give him first go at them. This...

    Amazing! Simply AMAZING!

    My last trip to the range turned out to be a really good day with a few hand loads. Sitting a few seats down from me was another guy who was also shooting a .308. After a trip down range to post new targets he asked what I was shooting. I told him a Savage 10FP. He noticed my targets and said...

    Graduation gift from my Dad

    Hello everyone. This is my first post so I thought I'd share my college graduation gift. It's a Savage 10FP with a fairly common setup; B&C stock, Ken Ferrell base, Warne rings, Karsten, Leupold, etc. This was from a "Tight Group" contest at a local range. Three rounds at 100. Each square...
