    Gunsmithing What are these embers?

    Hey all! Might be a stupid question but I’d rather ask & be sure. I was letting family shoot my 16” Tikka .308 when I noticed these embers burning in the air around the barrel after the shot I suspect it might be unburnt powder?

    Advanced Marksmanship Trouble-shooting

    Recently, I read a few threads in this section regarding shot groups. I guess, the original posters wanted to know what folks here thought about their marksmanship. In each thread the advice was mostly about what could be done to the hand-load. It seems to me, these folks, placing all of their...
