Thanks for the responses. So my problem is not enough brushing. I wasn't sure about coming back in the crown end with the brush. I have heard some say that they only will go from breech to muzzle and not back in, so I wasn't sure if I should do it or not. I have been using a cheap bore guide...

I have a new Shilen 6-groove 6.5-284 barrel I have been cleaning, and this thing has me stumped as to why it takes so many patches to clean. I'm wondering if my technique is possibly wrong. (I know 6 grooves could be part of it, but a smith provided the gun at a very good price with brand new...

I was mainly just looking for something to produce cleaner holes on the target paper. Right now all of my frames have 4x4 feet of OSB for backing. I just staple the targets to the OSB. Well, the bullet holes aren't always very clean looking; a lot of times the holes are very ragged or torn. I...

Any ideas where I could find cardboard backing boards locally? I'm not sure what people are using for backing boards. This is just for a home range. I'm looking for different sizes, and maybe some larger ones for greater distances. Thanks

I just bought some 270 Win Nosler brass and it was a very good looking batch. The spread on the weight of all 50 cases was 1 grain. No complaints at all with the brass I received. But I hear different calibers are made by different companies and not Nosler.

Thought I would post a picture of the gun--picked it up yesterday. It's a Persian Mauser action and McMillan A2 stock. Barrel is 26" heavy taper down to .930 at the muzzle. I haven't got to break the barrel in yet but will when my order arrives.

OK, guilty as charged. :p

The carbon rod I have from Tipton has been used for a few weeks now and I have to say I am impressed. So far I see nothing negative about this rod. It is very light and strong. I'm not sure how someone is getting slivers from this rod, but mine has been run through the barrel a few hundred...

I barely have anything stocked. I typically buy small quantities to last me a few weeks, then I internet search again. I don't have enough extra cash to buy huge amounts of just one thing. But I have to ask... Why can't these companies keep up with the demand? It appears they are losing a lot...

I've been using a cheap Bushnell rangefinder to range target positions. It's not a model with number, just Bushnell Pro or something and is probably their lowest model from a few years back. Well I stapled some white sheets on my 500 yard target and after holding the button down and resting, I...

The one from Champion's Choice looks like a good model since it has the T-blocks for the Anschutz rail. Thanks guys.

Looks perfect, but, do you know where I could find one? It appears they have been discontinued there.

How do you guys remove the cutter once you reach the shoulder? Do you keep the brass spinning the same direction, and cut a backwards pass on the way out, or do you stop, and slide the blade off the brass?

Not sure what this would be called exactly, but let me explain. I have a stock which has an Anschutz style forearm rail. The stock itself is not wide and flat enough on the front to provide a solid rest on the front bag. Is there something made which will attach to the rail and provide a flat...

I have a Mauser rifle outfitted with a Timney Featherweight trigger. I had the trigger installed by a smith since it took some action fitting, and set at 1.5lbs. Though, the more I shoot, the more I realize how heavy 1.5lbs is for bench shooting. Can these triggers be modified to safely achieve...

Joel, What an amazing accomplishment you have achieved. Congratulations! Could you tell a little more about the rifle? I'm wondering what a "tube gun" is exactly. A photo would be wonderful if you have one on hand. Thanks Matt

I will go ahead and get the Lapua brass mentioned. Sounds about right; I will save the money for a new barrel when needed. Thanks for the heads up on the brass.

I just purchased a 6.5-284 rifle with the Win chamber on it. I want to ream the chamber to a 6.5-284 Norma to use the better brass. I have a few questions about this. The neck it has is supposedly a "match chamber", but not a smaller neck diameter for turned brass. The barrel is only 26" now...

Great. Thanks for the info, guys. I bought the rifle. I finally own a 6.5. :D Now I just need to find out who has most of the bullets in stock so I can order a little of everything and get to work testing.

I have a few of the PVS-14 gen 3+ units (technically there is no gen 4). They are amazing at night, especially using the pair I have mounted together as binoculars. However, thermal vision is on a whole different level, and makes these things look like crap when you are talking about identifying...
