    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    Been using a Chargemaster for 15 years, 1/10th gr no problem. Running on a power conditioner/surge suppressor which cleans up power and keeps the Gulf Coast thunderstorms from cooking the electronics. This should be used with ANY sensitive electronics. Still have an ancient Ohaus as a backup...

    Lapping Scope rings - I see mostly No but some Yes

    It's sure the most screwed up Remington I've ever had. As stated above, it was far enough off going to 8-32 would have been real close but not dead nuts on. The gap at the rear receiver bridge was large enough that I wouldn't have wanted to bed anyhow. So mounted and glued two piece mounts and...

    Lapping Scope rings - I see mostly No but some Yes

    As I mentioned the receiver was off both with the bore alignment of the mounting holes AND the receiver heights were incorrect. Install the screws in the front of the one piece mount and there was a large gap between the rear of the mount and the receiver. Install the screws in the rear of the...

    Savage 110 Tactical Barrel chatter marks

    That caterpillar track pattern is from button rifling over the reamer marks, no lapping done after the reaming. You could try fire lapping using Tubbs Final Finish bullets (embedded with lapping compound) or a similar system to iron those marks down, may or may not help, results can vary. By...

    22 250 savage- copper fouling massive?

    Savage bores can be pretty rough looking, foul more than a finish lapped custom barrel and still be pretty accurate. On the other hand I would expect most 22-250s to foul with 100 rounds and no cleaning. It will likely take a few hundred rounds to smooth out the bore or you can load up some 80...

    Lapping Scope rings - I see mostly No but some Yes

    Depends on the receiver. The last rifle I had to lap rings for was a 700P that the scope mount screw holes were so far off line a one piece mount could not be used. Going to a two piece mount system left the rings out of alignment horizontally and vertically. Tightening up a scope in such a...

    New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill.

    Maritime law applies to all vessels, but for military vessels military law also applies and is typically much more rigid. At least in the US Navy the Commanding Officer is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens to their command, good, bad or disastrous. If the NZ Navy is the same, the...

    Advice on Cartridge and Rifle (and a lot of other stuff) for High Accuracy Bolt Action Rifle

    If you are set on a custom rifle, the gunsmithing is the most important thing. The best components don't matter if the barreling/chambering is trash. There are at least a half dozen top barrel makers and Bartlein seems to lead the pack. The best smiths are busy so don't expect same day service...

    I'm a big fan of Owls personally...

    Fifty some years back, a couple of kids (NOT me) had read an adventure book about raising a snow owl as a pet. As there were no snow owls available, they knew where a great horned owls nest was out in a pasture. Yep, they decided to raid the nest for an owlet to raise as a pet. Ever seen the...

    Impact NBK vs Stiller Wombat

    Many years back, before the advent of integral rails, and pinned mounts I had an issue with mount screws loosening. Solved it by using golf club epoxy to glue the mounts and screws, problem solved. Golf club epoxy has a high shear strength, year of hitting a golf ball is pretty high impact and...

    Super .30 Project

    If you really want a more correct replica, get a CrMo barrel and repolish the action and have both blued. Kreiger makes CrMo cut rifles barrels and Douglas makes CrMo button rifled barrels (among others) and can be ordered in bull profile. There are custom smiths that can create a duplicate...

    Unimpressed with new stuff at the range

    I didn't buy it,I inherited it, third generation of my family to use this rifle. The point on the brandy new gear was the brandy new gear won't make you a better marksman. Just like a fancy hammer won't make you a better carpenter if you can't drive a nail to begin with.
