    Front joystick rest options

    In this very specialized sport, it's very common for some of the best work and products to come from a small, one man shop. Just FYI. I would be hard pressed for that to stop me, but that's me.

    Approaching max. velocity - discoloration in muzzle-area?

    fwiw, I think the newer powders with bismuth might explain all or a lot of what you are seeing. Not smart enough to say it as fact but can say that the bismuth powders do this much more now than the same powders previously, of different lots(many). Of course that assumes we are talking about the...

    Barrel installation question

    That may be part of your problem if you're trying to feed from a mag with a coned bolt. It typically doesn't work well. That's why I can't name a single repeater with a coned bolt, minus crf winchesters, I guess. But crf is the key there. A pic of your bolt would still be nice to see.

    Barrel installation question

    Best thing is probably to train yourself to barely start the round into the chamber when you lay it on the loading ramp. It's easy but you just have to teach yourself to give it that little nudge forward every time. Done right, it shouldn't slow you down at all and will be second nature in no...

    Barrel installation question

    Can't say, because I've never seen what you describe, in 30 years. Anything's possible when you toss a round on the loading ramp and immediately close the bolt though. But yes, that's exactly why coned breeches exist. Tal to your gunsmith and let him know your issue. He can make that are damn...

    Barrel installation question

    I'm confused, as usual. A coned breech like the one pictured above doesn't have any flat area for the bullet to "smash" into. That's why they exist. And, it's possible that your Remington was converted to a coned bolt/breech but they didn't come that way. A pic might help.

    New Banner

    You're so right, Steve. Nothing against anybody at all but in a perfect world, I'd love to see this place stay geared mostly to short range BR. The other site has become much about long range and prs and rimfire has 3 or 4 sites geared that way. Again, nothing against any of those or the people...

    What action are you working with? Here's a coned breech Here's a Remington style..

    Barrel installation question

    Y Yes, but it should be added that this area is very critical as well, in regard to how much unsupported case protrudes from the chamber. Most action designs don't allow for an indiscriminate amount of chamfer, at all. In fact, most don't allow for very much chamfer and still be safe. Coned...

    What is your preferred trigger cleaning solution

    You'll hear different opinions but I'd say go for it. We're really not splitting atoms here.

    Front joystick rest options

    Italy, pretty certain. Nice rest as well. Styling is very good and has an Italian look about it. Imo, the nicest lookin rest out there but you really have to feel of a well adjusted Raptor and compare all others to it.

    6mm Grinch case capacity

    Lol! Since capacity and bullet weight are factors in choosing the best powders, and the powders used play largely into staying in tune or not(without a tuner)...your question isn't as simple as it seems. IME, n133 shoots great in a ppc and a 6 grendel but does not hold tune as well as lt32 in...

    Front joystick rest options

    Definitely take a look at the Raptor front rest. Huge compliment to say that it's better than even a Seb but it is, IMHO. In fairness, I have not had Sebs new X rest in my hands yet and it appears that he changed the internal mechanism to be very similar to the Raptor internal design. So, I'd...

    What is your preferred trigger cleaning solution

    My guess, guns stored vertically with solvents left in the bore/chamber. And I'm sure a drop can find its way in there when pulling the bore guide out also. I'm seeing some people really douse them with bore cleaner.

    What is your preferred trigger cleaning solution

    Blocking out(sanding)those rough plates always seems to smooth them up noticeably. I work on those and then just lightly sand and polish everything up on all the parts. Careful of not messing up critical areas. Very noticeable but not a huge difference when done. It's worth the time or I...

    Sickening, Just Plain Sickening

    Oh yeah. But like you said, gotta keep them out first, then start rounding them up and sending them back. Yes, easier said than done.

    Sickening, Just Plain Sickening

    It's plain to see, other countries are emptying their prisons and deporting them to here. Really that simple. I mean, what does anyone expect from our current open border policy? Jails and prisons are huge financial burdens on every government and at every level, right down to our own county...

    Arthritis

    Here's to hoping the celebrex helps. I'm new to this arthritis stuff but can tell ya, it's no fun. Like others have said, keep moving. At least that's what seems to work for me.
