  1. Throat carbon removal ????

    I have used the felt pellets and jb's bore paste with good success. I currently have a 220 swift with a small amount of carbon that is being stubborn despite the pellets. Soak them in Kroil before applying the paste. I have not had a problem fitting the appropriate sized pellets in the bore. I...

  2. 6mm Bullet for Deer this fall

    I have shot a few with the 105 berger hybrid from a 243ai. I was very happy with the results

  3. A question for "case tarts" .....................

    I do not shoot any sort of competition but have stopped wet tumbling as well. In addition to the removal of the neck carbon mentioned previously was the peening of my case mouths. That, i did not care for. I lube with Redding Imperial and when i go to wipe the brass down, i do so with a cloth...

  4. 6.5x06 Standard vs 6.5x06 AC IMP

    I have been thinking about a new build for quite a while. My latest idea is to go with a 6.5 Sherman. Something like 5-6% gain over the 6.5-06 AI. It achieves this by using the longer .270 case with less body taper and a shoulder that is further forward than the ackley version.

  5. To Pillar Bed Or Not To Pillar Bed

    I vote for pillars. Any stock may shoot well without them but pillars can only help. They prevent excessive torque from compressing the stock and inducing stress. They also help maintain your zero when you remove and then re-install the action into the stock. If you have a rifle that shoots well...

  6. Pesky Ground Hog's NOW Bee's

    I love fire and i love boom but dont ever light gasoline. It might be fun (if youre lucky) but it might also be deadly. Gas fumes are too unpredictable to play with. If you want to light something, use diesel.

  7. Pesky Ground Hog's NOW Bee's

    Wait till dusk or just after for them to all be back down in the hole. Pour gasoline down the hole. No need to light the gas, the fumes will kill them.

  8. Experiences with Berger VLD hunting bullets

    I have had very good results with the 10 Hybrid out of a 243ai. I started short and am working my way out to longer ranges on white tails. All results have been very impressive. I think you will be just fine with the 105HVLD.

  9. Krieger Contours

    Thanks. It is going to be a hunting rifle that is shot mostly from bags and in box blinds. I have a couple HS Precision varmint stocks that have a 2.5" wide forearms and i like the feel of the wider forearm in my hand and on the bags. I do not have any mcmillans and have only their website and...

  10. Krieger Contours

    I am considering a new build and am contemplating contours. I plan to use a Krieger in a #6, 5, or possibly their Rem Varmint contour. I am leaning towards a Mcmillan a5 stock. Does anyone have a rifle with a Krieger in any of these three contours that they would be willing to share a picture...

  11. Where to order Nightforce??

    Another vote for Euro Optic. First class folks.

  12. Florida Turkey

    I used to fry wild turkey until my buddy taught me how to grill one. Take a whole wild turkey breast and marinate it in whatever you want, sear it on a hot grill, and then drop the heat and cook it slow. A meat thermometer is a must! Cook it to just on the poultry minimum temp or even a little...

  13. Chamber Cleaning?

    Those Brownells felt doughtnut pellets do work very well. Its the only way i can control carbon doughnut formation in my 243ai. Kroil soak the pellet and then saturate with JBs Bore Paste. Short stroke it on the throat and it takes out carbon that no solvent i know of can touch.

  14. Post your 6mm 115gr Berger results on medium sized game

    Not quite the bullet you are asking about but this is 110lb whitetail doe that i shot with a 105 Berger Hybrid. She was quartering to me at 285yds. Hit her right on the point of her shoulder. She hit the ground like she was air dropped from a helicopter. I shoot these at 3160fps from a 243...

  15. dove decoys on wire

    I pick up old fishing rods/reels from yard sales for a few dollars each. Tie the decoy to the end of the line and cast it over a power line. Then reel the decoy back up to where it is right up at the line and let the rod lay there on the ground to hold the decoy in place.

  16. Favorite 6mm bullet for deer.

    I know that some will disagree with me on this but I have now shot a few whitetail does with the Berger 105 hybrids and had nothing but good success. Attached is a picture of the damage caused to one of the most recent ones. I shot two does from a group, one right after the other at just over...

  17. What 204 Ruger Rifle shall I buy ?

    I am not a Savage person at all but I do own a Savage VLP in 204. I have since put it into a BVSS stock. It has shot beyond my expectations since the day it was new. It has been one of those rifles that seems to shoot any load well. My only word of advice would be not to buy the Rifle Basix...

  18. Faded Nightforce BR Turret

    I will give the alcohol a try. It may be just dirty but looks like the paint is rubbed almost off some of the lines.

  19. Faded Nightforce BR Turret

    I hunt with a gold lettered Nightforce BR scope and the gold paint on my elevation turret is very faded. I would like to fill it in with some sort of bright ink. If i could find something that would glow in the dark, it would be all the better. I want to be able to make elevation adjustments in...

  20. Belted Mag Headspace Question

    If the bolt will not close on the go-gage adding tape will not make it any easier-to close the bolt. Adding tape to the case head will not help if the case shoulder is hitting the shoulder of the chamber. The head space gage is one or the other, it does not measure both the shoulder of the...
