Re: 350 legend...

Not really a "brand new" cartridge at all. Was introduced by Winchester at the 2019 Shot Show to address a perceived problem of straight-wall-cartridge-compliant deer-hunting states requirements. Yes, a 45-70 would fit the bill but why knock yourself around when something with the ballisti...

Re: the Metric System

Yeah since organic chemistry involved measuring weight in grams and milligrams and kilograms, and volume in milliliters and liters, and length in meters, centimeters, millimeters, and microns, it all got easy to visualize, plus the math is so easy since it is just moving decimal points. It’s kind o...

I'm thinking about taking my Browning 1895 out of the box and shooting it. I was also thinking about a reciever sight like on some of the older 95s I have seen. One of them mounts to the side and has a small lever to make adjustments for elevation and it seems to be pretty sturdy. Anyone have any s...

My version of QuickLOAD is V3.9. It lists Hodgdon CFE223 in its database. Using your "load", the 20" barrel has a muzzle pressure of 12Bar/176psi, and the 24" barrel 10Bar/146psi, with selected bullet Sierra JHP 8125. Is that something like you are looking for? Seems to indicate ...

Agreed that the OPs link goes back a while, but the insurance businesses continue their attack on firearms/owners/users.

Started with a Ken Light unit - 2x gas burners. OK, but now use an A.M.P. induction unit. I feed it manually but there is an auto-feed available. Very fast, and programmed for pretty much any cartridge case. If that wasn't good enough, it's also able to calibrate for your cases. Worth checking out -...

I have a feeling that the variety which you attach to your firearm, and pay a tax for, will be a suppressor. The other type, of all sorts of shape and size, which you shoot through might best be called a "sound moderator". On the topic of moderators, I saw one, a long time ago, that was ma...

Re: 1" at 1000- did I read that right?

I have an old (2010) Nightforce scope catalogue that shows a group of 2.815" at 1000 yds. Best 5 of those probably would have been around the 1" mark.
Wasn't just shooting for group but for score; 100-4x.
I'm sure that a better record has been set by now.
