    Alabama has voted to********

    ... and, it's impossible to make a state be active in enforcing a federal law. They just can't seem to find all those "icky" magazines.

    Where did you get this beastie?? It looks interesting.

    Can anyone confirm this information

    Kinda... It means the volume density (in weight per cc) as opposed to the specific gravity. In one of the gun digests many years ago, they published the volumetric densities of all the powders on the market at the time. It has no scientific meaning, because it varies depending on how it is...

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    You are looking for an easy way - there are none. Experience in evaluating groups with different rifles helps spot patterns and problems, but it takes shooting.

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    I have read that a long time ago... there is so much wrong with that theory, that it would take a week to write it down. He sums it up in his statement... "The physics may not be explained in a rigorous manner, but there is now far too much empirical evidence to doubt that there exists some...

    308 Case Trouble!

    Headspace. These rings and the separations that will follow, are the result of headspace, not high pressure. Seek the crush - negative headspace is your friend.

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    The prevailing view of what community??? Beginning shooters think it is OK... but they are always looking fr an easy way to get their loads to shoot. But they lack the ability to evaluate it to see if it really works, or if they just settled. Any "system" that claims to give you perfect (or...

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    His fundamental premise is seriously flawed, so everything that is built on that flawed premise is faulty.

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    Re: Good discussion Good evening Gene. Some theories are hard or impossible to prove or even document... ... but your is easy. Take a can of computer cleaner (often called "Dust-off" or "canned air"), which is a halogen-carbon gas, and fill the bore with it before shooting and see if there...

    SD and Barrel Harmonics

    (((I use ES but that's just me, I think SD is a crutch))) I also agree. When SD first appeared in reloading (probably back with the Oehler #33) it became the panacea, id est, "drug", of loading technique. While it does have some value, it is not the ultimate indicator that we would like it...

    internet sales and the Safe act of New york

    If you could see the pile of legal crap I get from ATF, you would understand why many dealers and manufacturers are all worn out with this stuff, and don't have time to keep up with laws from other states that don't want guns and ammo shipped to them.

    internet sales and the Safe act of New york

    I am a licensed manufacturer in Connecticut - "We" just passed similar laws on CT, several weeks ago, and I can not find out who I can sell to in my state - the state police can't answer that... I'm sure not going to sell to NY, Maryland, or California and take a chance of loosing my business...

    Need help-info on rem 40-x

    Yes... It was a Remington 40XB-BR, and was originally spec'ed by Mike Walker. I have 4 of them and they are very nice rifles (I'm sure I'll get bombed by the custom actions guys for that remark). The stock WAS made by McMillen

    Leupold scope

    If a clean, used Leupold 6x BR scope is worth $xxx dollars, and you have to have the reticle changed after you buy it, then it is worth $xxx, minus the cost of replacing the reticle - and that is ~$150. I'd say that is ruining the value - especially, when going to a fat reticle won't solve his...

    Boyds or Stockys thumbhole stock?

    Yup... I bought a Boyds LRV from Stocky's on eBay for $89 about 5 or 6 years ago, and it was the best $89 I have spent - the finish was great - no drips, scuffs, or flaws. The stock would've been a drop in, except that I had to open the barrel channel for a pig fat barrel. When the barrel...

    Leupold scope

    With all of your years of experence and knowledge, you should have been able to figure that one out all by yourself... Because very few people will want to buy a 6x Hunter class benchrest scope with fat cross hairs. And I get my eyes checked every spring - still 20/12 with glasses - and I...

    Leupold scope

    Yes... they will change the cross hair but that will not solve your problem, and you will have ruined the value of the scope. You might want to read this carefully... http://www.snipercountry.com/Articles/Parallax.asp
