Thanks for this info. I bought a Leupold RX 600 5 years ago I think. It will not range live flesh past 300 if your lucky. This was a big dissapoinment coming from leupold! I did discover that when hunting coyotes I trust my eye. Seldom have they givin me the oppertunity to range them. They keep look...

I live in the socialist republic of illinois. If I could bye a tax stamp i would! 300 for a silencer minus tax stamp your smith most likley is doing well bye you. Might be makin a bit but hey hes gotta have alittle meat on the bone too! Be thankfull you are allowed to own one! Pisses me off this com...

I considered building 20 practical before i built my shilen barreled 204 ar . But I can go on a prarie dog hunt and run out of my pet loads and bye off shelf 204 and hunt another day! Cant do that with 20 practical and 204 shilen barrel is a laser beam! Not that 20 practical isnt a very impresive ro...

is this the 204 web site or cooper rifles?

I have a good supply of brass Bergers and powder, and fox I finally scored some xbr powder a couple weeks ago. Anxious to give it a try.

I thought for a while model 1 went out of business. I have a model one upper on a rock river lower, shilen match 204 barrel. Absolute nail gun precision! No complaints.

Ahh,, Gads if we all just calm down supplies will be in stock again!!! Stop hording, Im as guilty as the rest I guess but I think it will get better. Nice Cz Rick. I have yet to own one., a total bargain when they came out. Much like the Sightron scopes were. I ordered a sightron 6-24 x 50 from shoo...

Well here in the anti gun state of illinois we do not have a rifle season. So I opt for my 50 cal muzzeloader. I do have a very nice heavy barrel rem 700 in 308, wife bought me a 30-06 for christmas and Im building a 243 at present. Over all in whith tail country I would use a 243 or a 308. Plenty o...

Sounds good to me. I to enjoy doing my own gunsmithing and a oppertunity to lear from others is always welcome.

In a 20 mph wind with 17 cal bullets thats awsome!!! The wind drift on a 17 I am guessing would be what? 6 inches plus? I guess depends on bullet grains but still no matter impressive. I have considered a 17 call. The only one I have currently is my Beeman Gold Pellet gun. I have to say at 20 yards ...

Makes perfect sense Guys thanks. I learner something new today!!! Now I want to research the diff between sami spec reamers and custom. O also want to check freebore in my Shilen match barreled ar? Curiousity killed that cat but amazes me at times. Knowledge is a very powerfull tool. Sincerley Thank...

I think you will find more than one rifle has plenty of free bore/throat ( like Roy Weatherby used) this way they get the velocity they want. Not really a new thing. You can set your barrel back, shorten the throat, but then some factory ammo will not then shoot in it, without pressure jumping.. Bi...

LOL No offense taken. I look at things with common Geometry principles? I dont know if it applys or not. If they shoot half inch groups at a hundred Thats Great. Not many factory guns can do that for sure,. I know my light barrel Rem Bdls didnt. My heavy barrel Vs 308 is a different animal. It is ve...

Perry inital load testing i do half to a grain increments. I find my best load and then tweak in tenth grain increments later! Sorry I get sidetracked at times :wall: Incedently you could get your gunsmith to correct freebore in your rifle? It is a bit of a prcess and if a light barrel you might jus...

I have a 15 year old Rem 700 Bdl 22-250 I tried touching the lands with 50 Nosler Ballistic tips. I can do it but the finished product doesnt fit in the magazine. This is a common problem with many factory rifles. I worked up some good shooting loads for my rem but the best ones efectivly made it a ...
