Yeah. I may need to barrow a bore scope. If you get the light perfect and look closely you can see that the lands where the pilot was rubbing look different than the lands farther down. In my mind I could see it just being a bit of a burnishing, or I could also see it rolling a little bur that...

No one has said “yep, been there done that, doesn’t hurt anything” or “yep, made that mistake, shot like crap and had to be re-chambered correctly”. Just lots of “shoot it first, and who knows maybe this will help” type stuff. All of that is welcome, but I was definitely hoping that someone...

I picked up an excellent used 6mm barrel with just enough tenon to cut off and re-thread. My dad has chambered his share of barrels, all of which have shot quite well, but doesn’t keep up with competition type things. Today he calls and says that he’s about .350” from finishing the chamber and...

It took a few groups to get used to it, but once I did I decided that I love the dot and don't ever want to go back. I do, however, shoot mostly for score.

No, just when neck sizing.

You don't have to use a lube with the nitrided bushings. I think it is a little harder on the brass though. I've never seen any difference in accuracy either way. Oddly enough I think my necks got thin faster when using the steel bushing with lube than when using a nitrided bushing w/o lube. It...

From what I can tell the Mark I, II, III, and IV were made in very small numbers(around 500 each) and used by Russian biathalon shooters. They shot VERY well and when found for sale were usually cheap, but seem to bring a decent price now. The MC2(or something like that) was mass produced and...

I don't think it was there from the factory. My dad got my younger brother a cheap old remington single shot to teach him with. We found a ring exactly as you described about two inches from the bore. Cut three inches off the barrel and there is NO DOUBT it goes deeper than the groves and IS NOT...

I know it's by rule, I shoot HBR at a club around here. I'm not saying that 6X should be you preference for rimfire bench, but to say it is completely inadequate would be wrong. I can hold off just fine at 100(and good HBR shooters can do a fantastic job of it) so there should be no problem with...

The point is simply that if HBR guys can regularly shoot 250's at 100 yards with 6X scopes on the SAME SIZE BULL that rimfires use at fifty yards then you can see just fine with WELL under 36X. Ask any HBR guy that is good and he'll tell you that he can hold about a bullet hole with a 6X scope...

For the absolute MAX you may want a little more than 6X, but in all seriousness you don't HAVE to have 36X for rimfire shooting. I have done limited HBR shooting, but have won a few club matches and can hold about a bullet hole at 100 yards. HBR uses the same size ten ring at 100 yards that...

I think the Nosler Custom Competition 168's have a higher BC than the Sierras do. I think they're also cheaper. Nosler uses J-4 jackets on their CC bullets and I've heard they're better than todays Sierras. I haven't shot either so I couldn't tell you from experience.

I shot some in a 223 Ack that I use as a coyote gun and just couldn't get enough in the case for 68's. I got home and weighed a charge. It was less than the VV manual was getting in regular 223's. I gave the case a good shaking when I charged it and was able to get some more in there. Haven't...

I don't have a lot of shooting techniques to give you, but I think the CZ is a very under-rated gun once you get a good trigger in it. I'd say it's a great gut to practice with until you decide how serious you wanna get, and if it wants to shoot you may just stick with it. Look for an Eric...

I would love a .30 BR, but there are a few reasons the factories aren't making them. If Lapua or Norma started making .30 BR brass, then they would just see less 6 BR with the total number BR cases remaining near the same, unless something sparked a new interest in the 30 BR. Why make up new...

I'm pretty new to this game, but have gotten a lot better at reading flags than I was a few years back. A lot of it is difficult to put into words, but I think I've got three tips that apply MOST of the time(almost nothing in this game applies all the time), that are simple enough for a new...

I think I'm going to hang on to it for now. It's a neat little round and I may fool with it some more down the line.

Yeah, and it seemed about equal to the Eley.

Barrel found! Thanks guys!
