    I have been testing a few different loads today through the chrono to get a good subsonic load for my Ruger American Ranch Rifle using Hornady 220 grain round nose bullets. I was using both Win 296...

    Magnus liked post by gundoc On thread : Military surplus ammo
    Of all the surplus .303, CAC Mk VII of the 1950's is the best you can get (if you can find any). Privi Partisan is OK, cheap enough, and will give you a good source of brass for reloading. You...

    No specific torque settings, just nip them both up by hand - firm but not ridiculously tight.

    It appears that you are seeing imaginary 'words between the lines'! I have read his submission and he definitely uses the word 'access' which has a completely different meaning to 'represent'. ...

    shooternz liked post by gundoc On thread : What do you know about Tisas Zigana for IPSC?
    As a gunsmith I have a natural aversion to Turkish-made guns. They look OK but only time will tell if they will last the distance. A bog standard CZ will be a little dearer but has an excellent...

    trooper90 liked post by gundoc On thread : What caliber?
    My .30/06 with 167 grain Lapua Scenars goes really well to 1,000 metres plus. I run a 26" barrel with AR2213SC for 2950 fps and 0.5 MOA. I have also just got a .338 LM (Savage Stealth) for longer...

    Cordite liked post by gundoc On thread : USB Borescope - now as good as a Hawkeye ?
    Unless you are actually manufacturing barrels, a bore scope is a waste of money and about as useful as a concrete parachute. As a gunsmith I have never had use for one. All critical barrel problems...

    Yep, that hurts! A bit like my original Army Indian (still in Olive Drab with the numbers on the tank) that I rode for 8 months before accepting an offer of 6 Pounds (1966). As that was a 50%...

    To remove the extractor you must depress the plunger with the tip of a fine screw driver, then slide the claw out over the plunger. Take great care to catch the plunger before the claw clears it or...
