    My ADL in .308W of the same vintage is not going anywhere either. It now has a Hogue stock and a hinged floor plate and is suppressed. GPM.

    Greetings All, It has been a while since my last post on this thread so I thought I should do an update. The bush walks petered out in May due to the colder weather and competition from a very large...

    Greetings All, I don't know when Nobels Rifle No1 but they started making smokeless in the 1800's. 60 years ago would be a good guess. The can would be at least 40 years old. GPM.

    Greetings All, To me the fact that the label has been peeled of by someone is a big jangly warning sign. If the cannister has been opened then it contains powderous anonamous and should be disposed...

    Greetings again Joe Schmo. Just some observations. Your kids are probably thrashing the 10-22 right now but soon they will want to move up. That won't be to a 7mm Rem Mag and shouldn't be to a .308...

    BSA270 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Can twist rate be too fast?
    In practical terms the answer is no. I doubt if you can spin the 125 grain pills fast enough to fall to bits in your 16.5 inch barrel. There is a persistant myth that projectiles become less accurate...

    Greetings again, I think it is a fold rather than a cut. I also wonder if the badly scraped neck is somehow related. The neck just should not look like that after sizing. Are you using a good...
