    Primers

    Oh well. There used to be a BR oriented supply chain where you could buy whatever you need from other shooters at matches. I was hoping against all reason that it was still there. What about Andress at Riverbend, he still selling stuff? I was in a Sports Authority in Atlanta sometime in the...

    Primers

    It's been a number of years since I've been an active BR and VFS shooter in the SE region. For a very long while, I bought all of my primers from various people selling 5000 primer cases at matches, usually Federals for around $125 if memory serves but I did stumble into a case of Wolf Match...

    Considering rebarreling my Savage 12 target in .243 to 6.5 creed, easily doable?

    Who cares? If velocity was a be all, end all, chamber for 22-250 or somesuch.

    Powder for subsonic 223/5.56

    One youtube video tested Clays, Trail Boss and TightGroup, all Hoghdon pistol powders as canidates. I like the Trail Boss because it is sold in 9 oz containers because that is all they can get in a traditional 1 pound container. I'm nervous about 3-4 grain charges in a 223/5.56 size case and...

    Powder for subsonic 223/5.56

    I'd like to make some subsonic 223/5.56. Some research has me thinking Hodgdons Trail Boss is the best powder but I don't see it anywhere. Anyone know anything about availability?

    creedmore sports new scale

    Well, they should get their scale calibrated in tons. It will have lots of digits and be very precise.

    single most important verdict this century

    Add in the fact that the trial was held in such a hard leftist part of the nation just may indicate that people have had enough woke insanity.

    Tikka M55 223

    The question is, does it reliably ignite your rounds? What's the dimple depth on a fired primer compared to other rifles?

    Falling Blocks

    A little history about falling blocks but not as far back as to Buffalo hunter rifles. After my nephew finished his 1st Iraq tour with the 4th ID in 2004, I went over to Ft Hood to visit. He gave me a tour of his tank company's hardware. In the hull of a M1 looking at the back end of the 120mm...

    Wilbur

    I used to post a lot on BR.Com but only occasionally in recent years. I still come by to check on things now and again but when it's been a month or two, it's posts like this that has me holding my breath when I do. No question but that Wilber was special.

    Please, please, please, use your real name.

    Though I haven't been very prolific on BR.Com for a number of years, I was for well more than a decade starting, I don't know, somewhere around 2000 even. The entire time, I've been posting under the name TomD. My name is Tom Dulaney, which isn't too much of a surprise to anyone who has been to...

    Texas Politician's rational for bill to eliminate "Stand Your Ground" law.

    I know, that was obvious. So I dug a little deeper and found that, though the quotes weren't accurate in detail, the effects of her bill would be to gut the castle doctrine.

    Texas Politician's rational for bill to eliminate "Stand Your Ground" law.

    Thanks for the heads up but the truth seems to lie in the middle. Her bill would do a couple of things including requiring the duty to retreat: "Susan T. Philips, Executive Professor at Texas A&M University School of Law (here), told Reuters that “Under Meza's amendment, before using deadly...

    Texas Politician's rational for bill to eliminate "Stand Your Ground" law.

    State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) "I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their...

    Got my second dose

    Got my 2nd early this week with no discernable effects from either. Wish I could say the same about the 2hrs I spent in an oral surgeon's chair this morning. All sorts of effects from that.

    6mm ARC

    Would factory 6mm ARC cartridges fire from a 6mm PPC chamber? There are such wild variations in the published PPC chamber drawings, it's hard to figure out. Of course, there would be the thing about firing 100 + grain bullets from 17-18 twist Here's the ARC drawing

    Stan Ware passes

    I have a suspicion/fear that people such as Stan Ware aren't being replaced as they pass.
