I sent some stuff to them this winter and they raised the price on me while they had my stuff. Then when I complained, they told me that since I was a small fish, they really weren't interested in making me happy. They further told me that their new policy was to accept gun related items ONLY...

Can't give you the powder charges off the top of my head, but I use TAC and Benchmark with great results. I mostly shoot 40 and 50 grain Blitzkings.

I have had three barrels nitrided this year. My main rifle, a 6.5-284 took quite a bit to get clean after the first outing but cleans up decent now. Another, a 7-300 WBY, cleaned up pretty good the first time out. It only had one round through it, the 6.5-284 had about 40 before I had it...

A friend of mine, who is a barrel maker and gunsmith was rechambering a .50 cal one day. I guess the guy wanted a different chamber than his custom came with and didn't want to ship it back to wherever it was made. He has a DSG that he uses for contouring barrels. He chucked up the muzzle with...

2 weeks??? Isn't that just common knowledge?

The one closest to me still has long guns and never did quit carrying them. Mostly junky stuff but I heard that some of them will take special orders.

You have never been in a Walmart unless you have been to the one in Kodiak AK. They had Weatherbys, Freedom Arms, Colts, Winchesters and ammo from 22 LR to 460 WBY mag. Better stocked than my local Sportsmans Warehouse- well, not quite the variety but definitely more of the big stuff! They sold...

Your best bet for getting out to 1000 with it is to use Burris signature rings and use the .020" offset inserts to create the taper you want. I don't know what this equates to in MOA as it depends on the distance between the rings. You will have a total of .040" offset. When I first started...

You might want to check online somewhere and see what AUSTRALIA's rules are. I once ordered two Swarovski 15x56 SLCs from a guy in Germany off Ebay or somewhere and they got hung up in US Customs in Memphis. I spent several hours on the phone with Customs and was working in a customs office at...

Isn't it amazing that a rifle company will guarantee Federal's ammo? And Black Hills it sounds like too!!

I would really like to play with one of those rifles!

It is generally better to have a loaded round where the bearing surface of the bullet does not extend beyond the beginning of the neck and into the shoulder as Hovis stated. There are several reasons why this is so but just take it for that. This is one reason why you generally have better luck...

typical bushing dies- my experience is limited to Redding products, do not resize the body, although I think you can get a die that does resize the body but allows for bushings to adjust the neck tension. Because of this, I can't image that the die for a 243 is any different than the die for a...

I have good results using a 340 WBY bushing die for 300 WBY and 300 H&H. I also use the same die body for 260, 7-08 and 308 buying only the bushings I need. Runnout is no different for any of them. I have no idea about the 30 BR switch.

I know some of you won't use toolpost grinder because of the abrasives on the ways issue, but it really isn't that hard to clean up. I use a can of brake parts cleaner and flush everything that was exposed and then re-oil. I don't use a TP grinder often, but it sure is nice for dressing up the...

Never heard of anything bad happening because of this conversion. It is quite a common "upgrade" by a number of rifle makers with good reputations. In my case, it was a matter of doing this or buying a new bolt.

I have used 600 grit W/D and a buffing wheel with white rouge to buff out some scratches. Be careful, the gel coat isn't real thick in some spots.

Mine is aluminum.

I have not use the PT&G but I used a Tubb?? I think. I came as a kit and I did it on my jig borer. This was on a bolt that had the lip cracked off when an hot load caused a case to stick to the bolt face was pried off. Worked just fine. I wish I would have had an end mill that was the proper...

As a knife maker, I am suggesting that he use the paste polishes for what he has at this point. You can't get the SFP that you need on a lathe with a 1" barrel to make white rouge work. You would have to run your lathe at about 3600 rpm to match even an 8" buffing wheel on a 1700 rpm buffer. I...
