Yep!
Here's a good explanation from Warne, as this rail cant topic can be confusing to a lot of people. Note that the "600 yards" mentioned is a rough guesstimate example for centerfire, not .22 rimfire where 300 or so as mentioned above becomes reality...
I like Wipe Out foam when I can let a firearm sit overnight. Short of that, Wipe Out Patch Out works very well for cleaning done at the range. Accelerator speeds and improves the performance of both products.
One of the benefits of these products is that there's no need for aggressive and...
E, I did the very same thing last night, only with smokeless powder, in trying to see what flag might come up. Now I didn't want to risk actually ordering product that I don't actually need. But I got as close to actually placing the order as I dared, and had the same "no flag" experience...
Hornady and Sierra manuals are both good choices in that they will provide data for 2 of the bullet brands that you'll find most commonly in stock at places that sell reloading supplies.
Ball powders will shine in the metering department.
As a hunter, your concern isn't merely about putting a...
Thanks. Darn shame for sure, and for all involved. I've bought a lot of product from them over the years. Others likewise I'm sure. Can't make sense of it.
Just a word of caution with regard to weighing the remainder of your batch in trying to isolate either a "no charge" or a "double charge" condition.
Your primer weight and bullet weight should be fairly consistent. But your case weight can vary considerably, and ESPECIALLY if you're using...
My own experience with rimfires (especially) has largely been that while some performance outcomes may well be more likely than others, forget assumptions, and trust the paper. In other words, you won't know until you go. And don't be surprised, if you're at least somewhat surprised.
This exercise can indeed get expensive, but it sure is a whole lot of fun! And there's no way to truly know what that rifle is going to like, short of completing the exercise. Rimfires especially are absolutely notorious for ammo preferences. The results tend to be surprising at times.
I'd...
Exactly. I think I'd feel more confident buying from Biggfoot44 who has been here for 15 years, than I would from Newguy2024 who has been here for 15 minutes. Not too complicated really.
No rules are going to ensure smooth transactions IMO. But buyers looking to minimize issues can themselves greatly increase the odds, simply by buying from long standing members.
Quite a first post!
There is indeed much to be said for defining what level (and type) of shooting you wish to accomplish. The considerations are many. And for some of us at least, they tend to vary.
There is typically quite a difference between a 1 inch capable rifle, and a consistently 1/2...
