    Is there a method to check a chronographs accuracy?

    I tried checking how well these two tracked each other a few years back. They were IIRC around 10 fps from each other on average with the high or low not always given by the same unit. Which was giving the right reading? don't have a clue..

    CZ 452 Scout?

    The Scout is as accurate IMO as any other M452 or 455 CZ rifle, and makes a great rifle for a youngster that they can grow with by simply changing the stock. I've one I bought for my wife (M452) who is on the short side, and found it fits in a full sized M452 American stock for my use with the...

    Rest question

    Hmm, my rifles are split about 50/50 as to cheek pieces. I take it the problem is only with contact with the cheek piece at rest, or if it only connects with the cheek piece during recoil are there still downsides? I am thinking I could possibly rest the stock closer to the toe if I was in...

    Rest question

    I'm now retired, and thinking of upgrading my present 25+ year old rest and bags as my rifles and shooting habits both have changed more to paper punching and less to a quick sight in or load checking for hunting over the last few years. Browsing the various web stores has got me wondering what...

    Help!!

    Rick I couldn't find a wrench for the caliper, just a old one for my Starret Mic. I'm sure it is hiding in plan sight somewhere in my work room. I did however get a small piece of wire to work and it seems to be OK for the moment. measured a couple different caliber bullets on the bench and...

    Help!!

    These are Mititoyo and do appear to have a "slot". If I can find something to work in it do I move the dial or the jaws to adjust?

    Help!!

    I was checking case length on some brass as I was removing it from the tumbler with my caliper and somehow a small granule of media fell in the gear track unnoticed, and when I went to adjust them the piece of grit caused them to skip a few teeth before I could react to the binding, resulting in...

    "Value priced" bolt guns?

    The 783 has a trigger similar to the Savage "accu-trigger". They also IIRC have a barrel nut that's also a clone of the Savage barrel mounting system. To be honest I've shot both the low class Savage and Remingtons along with the Rugers and greatly prefer the Ruger American over all. The...

    Foam bore cleaners?

    Patch Out is the same stuff as Wipe Out but a liquid you patch in the bore, not a foam under pressure. I've been using it in bolt and single shots for some time now and found it works as well as the foam but with out the mess.

    Trouble finding accurate load for Remington 223 5R

    If you`re groups are that wide with those bullets I`d suspect the scope next since you`ve checked out the action screws. Are the mounts tight, rings too? How about parallax? have you tried a different scope of known quality? New scopes can have problems too.

    22 rimfire psi

    According to Varmint Al it looks like the pressure drops to about 1K psi at the muzzle of a 24" bbl. Pressure drops quickly in a straight walled cartridge barrel as the bullet moves down it expanding the chamber volume. http://www.varmintal.com/a22lr.htm

    22 rimfire psi

    Depending on the powders used in each they very well could be.

    question ?

    There is a difference in chambers between the 223 and 5.56 as well as the slight pressure difference. The 223 is shorter throated and doesn't`t handle long bullets. The various newer manuals show two loads for these cartridges, the 223 usually stopping at the 69gr max weights and the 5.56 using...

    CZ 455 Action Questions

    The Sako Quad uses a very similar barrel attachment system as CZ. I haven`t heard any complaining about either rifle but, that isn`t saying much. I`ve a CZ455 and have no problem with the barrel/receiver attachment. I like it better then the Ruger set-up on their rimfires. For the money the...

    255 GR. .45 ACP +P Chamber Pressure

    Pressure is pressure and +P is not bullet driven but, the pressure rating of the cartridge. The 45 acp SAAMI MAP of 21K psi piezo, the 45acp +P MAP is 23Kpsi. If your pistol is +P rated you can fire any +P load that meets SAAMI guide lines regardless of bullet wt. Be aware Glock is a Austrian...
