What you need is a good friend who is a machinist. I have a buddy who made up a bunch of these. The silver ring is simply an adapter that changes thread sizes. A lot like adapters used in photography to change filter sizes. Unfortunately he said that he doesn't want to make anymore. http://i57.photo...

One thing is for dang sure... that is way tighter than minute-of-prairie dog!

Glad you found a load! I too just worked up some loads with 10x and found it quite forgiving.

Awesome write up and photos Rick!! You all sure have one heck of a nice "ranch" to shoot on. You're a lucky dog! I do a lot of hike in pDog shooting here in Colorado at a few secret pdog towns. I do a lot of shooting from the prone position which comes with a host of problems, mainly deali...

I'm not terribly familiar with the Brownings other than the fact that they make fine firearms. I will say however, if they have had it for a few years... they are probably pricing it too high.

Looking at Ricks bag reminds me, I need to add some sand to my Protektor rear bag. I think it has stretched a little over the years and is now a little slack. Need to tighten it back up.

Rick, you wear out a bronze brush in one day?? :eek: How are you recognizing them as worn out? I don't use my brushes very much and I'm not sure I've worn any of them out... ever. I've recently switched to Butch's Bore Shine and I like it a lot. I noticed that the inside of my .22-250 barrel looked ...

It's a smallgame pistol!

Bummer. Not the kind of report we like to hear.

I neck size and bump my shoulder back all in the same stroke.

I'm still trying to figure out how your brass shrunk from base to shoulder. That just doesn't seem possible. Here is what I am thinking... maybe there is a slight difference in the shoulder angle between your chamber and the new brass. So when you fire the rounds they are fire forming to a chamber w...

Also, my Nikon is still for sale here in the forum. It has the BDC reticule which is a fantastic hold over type reticule.

Here is a VX-II 6-18x40 w/target dot and knobs over on RimfireCentral.com for $450. Not a bad deal.

Aside from the wind you sound like a man that is very much like me. I know the .223 is great, and I shot an unknown thousands of rounds of it during my time in the military, but it just bores the heck out of me. I needed something "different". I already had a .22-250 and wanted another var...

I'm getting ready to load 39gr Blitzking over H4895. Sierra recomends 24.1 grains to 26.5 grains. Hodgden doesn't list a 39gr bullet but for the 40gr bullet weight it lists 26.0 - 27.7C for H4895. On Trent's data file for H4895 there's 27.3, 27.7, 27.5, 26.9 and for whatever reason a 23.2 (maybe a ...

It might be that they go for accuracy, more than speed. OR they could just want to err on the side of caution, rather than have someone get harmed. Bill K :) You hit the nail on the head. Ammunition companies have become so liability conscious they've reduced their max loads in manuals to cover the...
