    GO BLUE!!....well go and get your program straightened out

    As a Buckeye fan I like the fact that Michigan loses every year to us, as far as I am concerned they can keep Hoke and keep up the trend.

    HELP!!! Cannon Safe WON'T UNLOCK!!!

    It sounds like the battery is going, the safe we have at work does the same thing when the battery is going bad. The key pad will beep three times and you can't open the safe until you replace the battery.

    Rifle...what to do next??

    I would get a bipod next so you can work on shooting prone and makes it easier from the bench as well. Then as others have stated trigger time is key.

    Steel target help

    Here is the stand I cam up with, I do you use chain to connect to the targets, after thousands of rounds I've only hit the chain once. I keep spare parts in a tool box with me and can fix any broken part while at the range. When I bought the chain and was making the chain links, I made sure I...

    Steel target help

    I bought 2 AR500 1/2" steel gongs from shootsteel.com a while back and they have worked great. I used 3/4" black pipe and a few T's and 90 deg elbows and made a portable stand that I shoot both .223 and .308 at a distance of both 100 and 200 yards. It works very well and have no issues with it...

    When to use an expander mandrel; is it even necessary?

    I use the expander mandrel only on new brass, I just used it on 400 pieces of new Lapua 308 brass. The new brass had a id of around .302-.304. I wanted to get a more uniform neck tension as well as work out some of the neck dings from the factory. When I reload I use a Lee collett die and only...

    Stainless Steel Media and tumbling, idea, help....

    After I tumble my brass in SS pins I empty the dirty water out of the tumbler and fill and rinse the tumbler out a few times with clean water along with the SS media and brass in the tumbler. Once the water is clean I then pick out each piece of brass individually and rinse it in clean cold...

    Gunsmithing Barrel screwed on action at an angle

    Hopefully you get the resolution that you want. I'd be pretty pissed if I sent off a rifle to have that work done and it came back looking like that. I would be more than bugging the GS daily. Good luck with it all.

    Made some targets to print out

    Very nice, the different colors are a great idea. I've thought of making my own targets a few times but just get to lazy and end up buying some.

    Muzzle Brakes

    I have a JP on my AR and don't feel much back blast at all, but then again it's only a .223. I have the JEC on my .308 and feel a bit of back blast but not to much, its much stronger if you are on the side of it.

    DIY portable shooting bench

    That's a nice looking bench, I have been thinking of building one as well. The tables I shoot from at the public range suck, it's hard to get into the proper position. Let us know how he bench works once you get a chance to use it.

    Spartan Precision Rifles--thoughts?

    I had Marc cut and thread my barrel and install a brake for me on my .308 over a year ago, I am in the processes of saving up some funds so I can have him build me a 6.5 creedmoor. His attention to detail and the way he conducts business is the reason I am going to go with him over any other...
