These "throater" reamers are very sharp and the material you're cutting is mostly lands. It takes very little pressure and only a few turns to cut much more than you might imagine if you haven't done this before. In other words, measure very carefully and cut with caution. You can't go back...

I can drive for three hours from where I live and, as far as I know, not find any open-to-the-public rifle-based matches other than the occasional three gun events, something which holds no interest for an old guy well into his 70's, with the exception of one club which holds a monthly 600 BR...

Unless you had an accidental discharge, that so called flier is part of your group. Frustrating? Yes, but them's the facts Sir. If you shoot it , you gotta' count it. Where I shoot matches, they don't let you ignore "fliers". First of all, thirteen shots inside 1 MOA at 300 yards is nothing...

Pascagoula Shooting Club shoots 600yd BR every month on the Sunday following the fourth Saturday each month. http://pascagoulashootingclub.com/psc/ Good group of guys, cheap entry fees, and not too far from Mobile. The range is actually in Moss Point on Bayou Heron Road. They also shoot 600yd...

Yes, dry Molly coating is messy, but there is a MUCH better way. Wet coating is the answer........ the only answer really. Here's how I do it. I have a dual drum Harbor Freight tumbler. I use a Walmart apple sauce jar because it has round ends with a "grip" in the middle which agitates the...

I'm chuckling a little bit when I read some of these posts. For example, claiming that a certain factor is related to dew point but it is not to relative humidity is just plain wrong. Dew point and relative humidity measure the same thing, i.e. the amount of moisture in the air. They simply...

Careful not to drink too much of Al Gore's grape KoolAid. The only conclusion that is inescapable is the fact that plenty of people are pushing the global warming Chicken Little narrative so that they can grab power, grab money, or both. Look here for some facts about global warming...

You're correct to use quotes when you write "climatologists". These people, for the most part, call themselves scientists but in reality they're activists. It's much easier to visualize half a million activists in agreement than to imagine half a million real scientists who agree that man made...

Sorry, this is not a good indicator of shank size, even though it might be true on your guns, it isn't true on mine and many others. The best way is to measure the length of the barrel nut NOT including the recoil lug. The large shank nut is 5/8" long and the small shank nut is 7/8" long. Do...

I own a Creedmoor and I don't know much about the 6.5x47 Lapua so I did a Google search and came up with this:

I love nice tools and I recognize that the Mitutoyo is the "go to" ball micrometer for many reloaders, but I have one of these for a hundred bucks less: Anytime Tools Tube Micrometer Ball Spherical Anvil 0-1"/0.0001" Get it on Amazon Prime for thirty eight bucks, free shipping. Works just...

I take the data calculated by On Target and put it into an Excel worksheet. Then I add other information such as the powder I used, the charge weight, seating depth, MV, ES, SD etc. I often let Excel help me make a graph of something like MOA vs Charge weight. When I go to the range with 5...

You're on the right track. The fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to improve your performance is to count fewer and fewer rounds out of each group. If you only count the best 2 shots out of 5, your MOA will improve dramatically. All kidding aside, if you're serious about improving accuracy...

I think the Muller scopes give great bang for the buck. I own several and they are quite good. Not top of the line mind you, but VERY good considering the price.

I don't see the problem. Looks like it dropped exactly into the correct place. Clear the cables, squirt a little oil on the bearings, slap the top cover on, and let 'er rip.

The OP's spending limit is $500. Do you suppose Optics Planet will saw the $2000 Nightforce you recommend as a scope which will meet the OP's needs into four pieces and sell him one quarter so as to fit his budget?............. I didn't think so. I appreciate nice things. But I've been around...

It sounds like the accuracy bug has bitten you but the virus hasn't overwhelmed you yet. Soon it will and you'll be wanting to improve your skills and some of your equipment, especially once you start hand loading. The .223 is a fine cartridge to start with, mainly because of cost and...

Don't let yourself get wrapped around the axle because a piece of equipment has the potential to produce results with very high resolution. For example, do you need a scale which reads to .0002 gr when a kernel of Varget weighs about .02 grains if you know you aren't going to cut a single powder...

The "cry once" argument is appropriate in some instances, but I would argue it doesn't apply here. Take a look at the equipment in use at a top match. There are several brands of actions, barrels, stocks, and optics. There are lots of reasons for this, but it's safe to say that there isn't...

The short answer is that a barrel is not a bolt. Think about it. The shank end of the barrel has to have a certain diameter to accommodate the chamber plus enough material to provide enough stiffness and thermal mass to ensure good accuracy. So, in the case of the rifles most of us shoot, the...
