  1. 20 practical coal

    If it has zero freebore, why not seat the bullet a little deeper in the case. As the throat eventually erodes, you could then seat the bullet a little further out.
  2. Bolt Rifle Recommendations, Range Only ( Bench ), Out To 1,000 Yards?

    My son gave me an older model Savage model 10 he had and never used. It came in 308 and had a very cheap stock. Less than 20 rounds through it. Threw the stock away and put on a KRG Bravo stock and a 6 BR barrel from The Urban Rifleman. Very accurate, and was fairly inexpensive to build.
  3. Leveling Base for Tripod

    I'm revising my tripod system and looking for a leveling base that does not tighten up when panning right. I'm currently using a Leofoto LB 60 and it has worked flawlessly for the past 3 years. With a new carbon tripod coming in soon, I wanted to go to a different style leveling base but have...
  4. First Shots Tikka Varmint 223

    I bought my Tikka from an estate sale off of Gunbroker about a year ago. I had intentions of replacing the stock when I got the rifle. I had some rounds loaded when the rifle came in and headed to the range. I was shocked how accurate it was in the factory stock. I'm not sure if I want to...

    There is a soft covered book offered by Village Press called - Building a Single-shot, Falling-Block RIFLE ACTION
  6. First time shooting this gun

    Urban Rifleman made my 6BR barrel and I can't say enough good things about the Wilson barrel and his service. Brad is working on a 20P barrel for me now that I'm really looking forward to getting. Here's my 5 shot 6BR group with 105 Bergers. This was my last rounds of the day.
  7. Front Bag for Hunting

    I have several bags for different purposes. They stay in the truck so I know I'll always have them. I shoot from a tripod most of the time when stationary. I do a lot of drive by shooting from the truck when prairie dog hunting and always have a bag at the ready to lay on the open window. I...
  8. Bullet Proof Vest

    Before making your purchase, check the law in your state on wearing one. When I lived in Texas, there was a law where only a LEO could wear a vest.
  9. Delays in Bolt Delivery from Pacific Tool and Gauge

    I have dealt with PT&G for several years and have never had a pleasant experience. They have lousy customer service and will lie to your face. I have purchased a bolt from them in the past and at the time I ordered it, I was told it was in stock. 3 months later I received my bolt. The fit...
  10. Need advice choosing an arbor press

    21st Century - This is what I have been using for several years and it has worked out really well. It goes to the range with me every time. One thing I have noticed that appears to be common in a lot of small arbor presses is that when turning the clamping lever/wheel, it does not always hold...
  11. 223 barrel recommendation

    What Brad says. He makes great barrels.
  12. 6mm for ground hogs

    6 BR, 24" length, 8 twist barrel from The Urbar Rifleman Bergers 87 gr & 105gr VLD Hunting 87's most of the time, 105's for 15+ mph winds The Wilson barrel that he furnishes you is very nice. I like it so much, he is making me a 20 P right now.
  13. Best carry sling for heavy hunting rifle

    As mentioned above, Slogan Outdoors My 6 BR coyote rifle is 14 lbs. I looked at a lot of slings before purchasing the Slogan. I don't remember the model I purchased, but the strap is 1.5" wide. You can wear it on your shoulder as you would any sling or wear it like a backpack. It doesn't move...
  14. Recommend a loupe or visor

    I use the flip up visor as well. It works really well. For over 50 years, I used a fingerprint loop similar to the one pictured below. It is great for fine detail use. When I retired, it went home with me and I still use it today. A Bosh & Lomb hand magnifier is also very handy to have on...
  15. New Replacement Stock for Savage

    KRG Bravo I rebuilt my Savage Mod 10 from 308 to 6 BR. This is the stock I used. I can't say enough good things about it.
  16. 20 Practical Question

    I haven't tried this since I don't have my barrel yet, but I've read where some folks are resizing as .223 1st, then resize the neck area with a smaller bushing and then a final neck sizing with a slightly smaller bushing. By reducing the neck in smaller steps, this is suppose to help prevent...

  19. New Hunting Breed Could Be Deadly

  20. 20 Pratical Barrel Question

    I'm going to build a 20 Practical and have a few questions. I'm not interested in a .204 Ruger or the Tactical 20. I already have a .223, 20 Vartarg and a 6BR. So the 20 Practical will be built. The 20 VT may be sold later. It will be a Varmint - Target rifle. No competition, just range...
