  1. 223, 1-7 twist vs bullet weight

    I have a barrel coming for a Contender that I'm building in 223 and it has a 7 twist. Would I be able to shoot 50 gr bullets or would they separate before hitting the target? I shoot lots of 60 gr in my rifle with no issues, but I'm looking for a light weight bullet that would work well with...

  2. Coloring bullet tips.

    I've tried the bullet coloring to no avail. It has never worked for me. I tried it two different ways. Coloring just after reloading and coloring just before the shot. I have never seen a color ring on my target. Those with success at this, how do you do it?

  3. Shooting Bench Modifications

    Lab jacks work really well. I've been using one for many years on a rest I use for revolvers and specialty pistols. The rest below shows the forearm rest for the Remington. I have another one the revolvers. When I'm done for the day, I raise the lab jack up until the barrel is pointed...

    According to Linkedin, Jim Saubier is the owner of saubier.com. I sent him a message so hopefully I'll hear something from him.

  7. Anyone use Quad Sticks ?

    Like other styles of rest, I think it would take some off season practice to really be proficient with quad sticks. I've played with a set, but never shot from a set. I did a lot of fumbling around and wasn't really steady looking through the scope. That is not say qaud sticks are bad, it was...

  8. Lighter shooting bags to carry around

    I never shoot prone any longer, but do shoot off the back of the truck using a bag or my walk around rig. I tried plastic beads and they worked okay but still had weight to them with a large bag. I went to Git-Lite. Git-Lite has several different types of fill. One very light weight fill has...

    The guy was a prick. I'm glad he's gone.

  11. 20 practical

    I've purchased 2 prefit barrels from The Urban Rifleman, one in 6BR and the other in 20 Practical. Both shoot really really well. I would buy another from him if I ever need one. I do not neck turn on either barrel.

  13. Wipeout patch out

    I've been using the Wipe Out (W/O) products since they came out and just followed the instructions. When I ran out of W/O and couldn't find it anywhere, I tried the Hoppes 9 foaming cleaner. It worked every bit as well as the W/O products. The Hoppes foaming cleaner shows the blue on the...

  15. Help me pick a ground squirrel rifle!

    The CZ 17 HMR is a great rifle. With the money you save, you can buy more ammo. I've had mine for many years and I start off with it each prairie dog season. With a suppressor you can make so many more shots before they go down. I still use my 20 VT, but I always start off with the 17 HMR.

  16. Extra protection for your airline gun case

    I've been using a plastic stretch wrap for several years now and it has worked out very well. After they're through checking the firearm, I wrap the case in the stretch wrap going over the handles and latches several times. Pitch the remainder of the wrap in my travel bag and use it again on...

    Did you ever check on the Savage forum that someone earlier had mentioned?

  19. Savage ejection problem even after ejector and extractor upgrade

    That should be a fairly simple fix. My Savage model 10 had the same ejection issues. Check out this link; Lumley Arms I replaced the parts that come with the kit and problem was solved. The small steel ball is slightly larger than the factory and the replacement ejector spring is slightly...

    I made this rest styled after the Bog PSR. The PSR is no longer made. It was really a good rest.
