    Hand Loading for Long Range 3: finding start OAL

    If you don't want to spend the money on purchasing the rod stops from a sporting goods store, they are easy to make from cheap items found at your local big box hardware. I made these out of some 1/2 x .257 nylon spacers and 8-32 x 1/2 nylon machine screws. I just put the spacers in a vice...

    Unimount vs Rings for scope swapping

    MC, I was inquiring which unimount to use from the guy at Badger, as they sell both rings and unimounts. I don't think he was trying to mislead me, because he stands to make money either way.

    Unimount vs Rings for scope swapping

    Pardon my newbie ignorance regarding the unimount. I was wondering if there was any benefit to the unimount vs just using rings on my Nightforce NXS F1 in the application of swapping the scope back and forth between two Rem 700 tactical builds, each with a picatinny rail attachment. The guy at...

    Gunsmithing Looking for help replacing triggers in Rem 70 and Ruger 77

    Got my new triggers from Timney today. I installed the 401 in the Win 70. There was a modification needed. I have a pre-64 action on the gun. I removed the old trigger, inserted the new. Replaced the front pin, but the rear pin and bolt retaining spring would not fit as described in the...

    Gunsmithing Looking for help replacing triggers in Rem 70 and Ruger 77

    Sorry, I'm working with a Win 70 and Ruger 77. Can you tell I'm really in love with my Rem 700, though?

    Gunsmithing Looking for help replacing triggers in Rem 70 and Ruger 77

    I have been reading about some difficulties for the DIY'er when it comes to replacing triggers in both the Win 70 and Ruger 77. I have purchased the Timney 401 and 601 triggers, and am considering whether to attempt the replacements myself or take them to a gunsmith. I would appreciate...

    IMR 4320, what's the best use

    Works great in a 7mm bore. Not as consistent in a .30 bore. Love it for the 7-08.

    Is Hodgdon really shipping?

    I'm in the Houston area. What LGS had Varget? Thanks.

    Is Hodgdon really shipping?

    No doubt that folks have some for sale. My question is are they currently manufacturing and shipping? You can't find it on any web based outlets of good repute, that I can tell, and it has been that way for a long time.

    Is Hodgdon really shipping?

    You've probably seen the notice by Hodgdon that demand is the reason for the shortage of powders on the shelf and they are shipping like crazy. See here http://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/Web%20Pag...ng%20Surge.pdf But, if you search the website of the company that makes Hodgdon powder in Australia...

    Varget powder replacement

    You know, we really need to bring manufacturing of reloading components back to these shores. Over-regulation was one of the reasons American powder manufacturing went overseas. Now that our few overseas suppliers are experiencing increasing regulation, this is ipso facto infringement of the...

    Varget powder replacement

    Well, I can't find Varget, new or old to save my soul. Regarding the metering of the powder, does anybody still use the dipper system? Any leads on where to find Varget available would be great, too.

    Gunsmithing When Gunsmith Won't Return Call or Email

    Not sure if anybody is interested at this point, but I picked my rifle up today from the smith. It is a beautiful thing. I'm very happy with the end result. Of course, I haven't shot it yet but certainly don't anticipate being disappointed. Since my issue was "communication" and NOTHING ELSE, I...

    Gunsmithing When Gunsmith Won't Return Call or Email

    Dude, you are the absolute worst customer relations representative I have seen in a while. Let me post a few of the recommendations you put forth of the guy who is building my gun: "He (said gunsmith) tells me it hasn't been 10 weeks YET! I would think some dumbass wanting something that he...

    Gunsmithing When Gunsmith Won't Return Call or Email

    Please note, my contract, as specified by me, was for work "not to exceed 10 weeks" unless approved in writing by me. Smith had quoted me a lead time of 4-5 weeks at best. I dropped off rifle and parts Feb 28. My first contact was e-mail to wish smith a "happy Easter". My second contact was at...
