  1. The Swede

    The SAAMI load list about 55,000 the proof of the actions from the internet. All Swedish Mauser bolt actions were proof tested with a single 6.5×55mm proof round developing approximately 455 MPa (65,992 psi) piezo pressure (55,000 CUP psi) In any case the action requires that you NOT THINK like...

  2. Photographers here -- What are you shooting at?

    This pink thing was a challenge!

  3. Photographers here -- What are you shooting at?

    That's what I'm talking about!

  4. The Swede

    If you decide to work with an older Mauser 1896 remember that the pressure is tested to 65,300 PSI

  5. The Swede

    I shot a few ( about 100) and they shot fine with Reloader 22, more accurate then the Interlock, I went with 140 grain Interlock I believe and stopped them because they were way too tough for deer. The 129 works perfectly on deer.

  6. The Swede

    Having a new safety placed on mine and the barrel cut back to 25". I use Reloader 22 with the longer barrel, get plenty of velocity with low pressures. The 129 grain works great for deer, I tried the 140 but they were too tough a bullet.

  7. How is this possible? (The long version)

    Just the kind of rifle I call a keeper. ;)

  8. The ultimate suppressor

    No wonder they lost 2 world wars!

  9. 6 ARC for youth.

    Be extremely careful and either load for gas gun pressures or mark the containers of your reloads BOLT GUN ONLY!

  10. 6 ARC for youth.

    I have no experience with the Ruger Rifle, The Howa 1500 is basically a Wetherby Vanguard, and I have had one, (Howa) for varmints for over 25 years. My granddaughter shoots it and I'm leaving it to her when I depart the loading bench. The 6MM ARC has a very slight bit more recoil than the...

  11. 6 ARC for youth.

    Good, some guy cracking of with a 338 Lupa around an untrained person who's not acclimated to noise can cause issues for some time. My daughter was a problem for a couple years after a neighbor was being an idiot with fireworks. She's good to go now! TAKE whatever time it takes and she'll do...

    You do know that there is a $520 solution, a Howa Varmint in 223, light in noise, 20" heavy threaded barrel, 8 lbs (so near zero recoil) all you need is a scope and a can if you want. My granddaughter shoots one that's about 25 years old, she doesn't need a can she wears ear plugs and muffs.

    I agree shoot suppressors all you want. Train them to use hearing protection with the can and hopefully when they will find no one else on the range wheen they shoot.

  14. 6 ARC for youth.

    I thought you were one of those, there is a large part of the next generation that's doomed! I'm afraid because I'm untrained. I'm untrained because those responsible for me didn't have any skills.

  15. 6 ARC for youth.

    Ok, some extremely sensitive individual who is not properly acclimated to the concussion of not only un suppressed firearms but a heavy concussion producing firearm. This person is on the line with a shooter shooting Barrett 50BMG with a 50 degree brake. How do you expect them to react when...

  16. 6 ARC for youth.

    How did you get to that? Where did you go to college? In fact I did quite a bit of firearm training with my children using suppressors. If you use a suppressor with supersonic ammunition then you have to use ear protection, which is greater? What you lose by not acclimating the shooter to...

    That certainly says something about you.

  18. 6 ARC for youth.

    While there are certainly children born with physical health issues, the main reason in my opinion that 77% of kids fail to meet minimum military standards is parenting. Not standing up to do the job of being a parent, allowing our schools to enable poor behavior. Parents enabling poor...

  19. 6 ARC for youth.

    I had the same problem with my son who has a hearing disorder and my daughter who was sensitive to sound. I started with proper hearing protection on a private range, 22 shorts, longs and long rifle in a rifle then in handguns. Then small caliber centerfire rifles and handguns. Then being...

  20. 6mm REM load development

    I have used Reloader 19 with 75 grain VMAX for years. I have never had any luck with 4350.
