Here ya go. Some disclaimers first: I'm a practical reloader for average distance hunting. And pistol shooting. I don't have any expertise in the real fancy stuff like shoulder bumping, chasing the...

Dog food - dog roll I assume? Talk to it - ok. I already talk to myself a lot so talking to a bird is probably a step in the right direction. It will possibly cure you of shooting magpies -...

I assume you mean shooting a naked barrel of that length? NO centrefire is acceptable without a can or ear protection unless you want to become a "deaf old bastard" who can't function in any...

Figures I keep seeing is more like 25-30fps per inch. And over the 3 rifles I own that is about the norm. Obviously there is a point where it's short enough to show dramatic drops in difference...

Can't help with your specific issue but I had one and liked it. It ran great for a few thousand rounds but gradually became unreliable jamming and misfeeding.. Cleaning didn't help. I was told...

7.62x51 and .308 Winchester may be used interchangeably in correctly headspaced rifles with perfect safety. While there is a minute difference in the drawing specifications of both, those differences...
