I have one of those...

I bought it in the late 70's. I bought a H&R 317 Ultrawildcat, and saw a picture of the rifle with the Vari-X II 3-9 with AO and they looked great together, so I bought one. I still have it today. I...

Interesting...

I wonder if the semi-auto action is having an effect on the consistency and action fouling. Has anyone shot the stuff through another rifle, to see if the problem shows up???

I recently bought two of the Leupold 3-9x33 EFR. After trying the first one I realized that I needed a second for another rifle. I have found that they have no trouble going down to 6 yards and there...

You don't have to get the fine duplex. The have a different version with a regular duplex. The Leupold's clarity makes it look great. With over six decades on my eyes, I appreciate how clear the...

Lee Collet Die...

I started with the Redding bushing die, and thought it was the best thing ever. I gave the Lee Collet die a try on another caliber and immediately saw the advantage. Decided to give it a try on the...

Volquartsen .17 WSM with New Twist...

Volquartsen has decided to use a 8.5" twist on their rifle to solve an accuracy problem with the 25gr loads. This is the reason the rifles have yet to show up in the market, an accuracy problem. Here...

The Gap Nerrows - .17 WSM vs .17 HMR...

I saw a new magazine on the shelf today. It is called "Shooter101" and they have a test of the new Savage A17 and the new CCI .17 HMR ammo that uses the same A17 designation. The incredible part is...

Other Things To Try...

Lee Factory Crimper and a Competition Seater. These two dies are a big improvement for the Hornet. I like Lil' Gun, but I have found AA-1680 to be easy to use to get good results, as well. If you are...

Those Sierra 30gr Federal Loads...

They were a disappointment in my Marlin. They advertised 2200fps, but all I got was 1985fps average. Here is what I recorded in one session.

1995
1916
1983
1983
2050

That is an extreme...

Which has the tang safety. It was by far the most successful bedding job I've done yet. I carefully bedded the action everywhere it touched the stock. I also bedded all of the hardware on the bottom...

But, Why???

Why would a small capacity cartridge cause Mr. Nagel's 30 gr bullet to come apart. It can't drive it as fast, so the stress should be lower. I can see that maybe it can't drive it fast enough to...

Thanks for confirming, now the mystery of the black tipped version. I see that CCI is showing that their V-Max now uses a black tip. I'm beginning to think the boxes I saw were mislabeled, but then...

Nope...

I did not purchase any. Keep in mind on these websites, that these big places are very slow to update. If CCI has changed the bullet design, then of course they are going to show that they are still...

But Which Bullet???

The TNT bullets you used to get were HP. The ones I saw at Gander Mountain, had black polymer tips and looked like the red tipped V-Max, which were sitting next to each other on the shelf. If they...
