If they were reliable supplying jackets I'd have George make me a set of dies and I would make them for you. Problem is it's not worth the financial risk without a more reliable source of jackets. ...

Charlie, if you want a light show with that 335, clean the barrel and shoot it after dark. You'll have a green fire ball about 2 feet in diameter and it'll sound like you shot it in a 55 gallon...

There could be one or more problems with this barrel. I borescoped a barrel, it's probably been 15 years ago, that suddenly quit shooting and started fouling badly. That son of a gun lost a chunk...

Let me know what you would like to do with it. The offer stands. I can repeat the slugging if you think it's loose at the muzzle. Another thing that I was thinking was the potential problem that...

After 4065 rounds and 12 years, I pulled the barrel on my .17 Mach IV and tossed her in the trash can. Shilen did themselves proud on the day they made that one with stellar accuracy and never a...

You may have said previously what powder you are using but I didn't catch what it was. I have been working with my .22x47L using N-140, 4350 and Varget. I'd be interested to compare notes on that.

Been there and done that. The BR is a hard nut to crack trying to get it to feed. The modified SA mag box is a hit or miss (mostly miss) deal as far as feeding goes. As DAA pointed out correctly...
