I look at the. 17 Hornet as like a .17 HMR but 175 yards closer (just like the .17 Mach 4/FB is like the HMR but 250 yards closer). How far out would I shoot a coyote with a .17 HMR? I'd keep it to...

I find that a slightly longer-for-cartridge barrel has less muzzle blast and is more pleasant to shoot. A .17 Squirrel has about the same muzzle velocity as a .17 HMR, and the .17 HMR achieves its...

I think I'm going to measure the depth of the chamber to the beginning of the shoulder, the FB ammo's overall case length and neck diameter and if the case is 1.400" or less and the neck diameter is...

Different variations of the Mach IV
I wonder how different the Kimber 84's factory Mach IV chambers are than the Coopers, given that Cooper Rifles was started by ex-Kimber employees.
It seems that the critical dimensions for...

Gotta wonder if a .17 Mach II would be a worthwhile rebarrel for a 591. I'd think they'd work either with the factory 5mm mags, or with a factory 541/581 .22 LR mag.

I think the Core-Lokt is a good bullet for the .30-'06 and slower cartridges for eastern whitetail deer hunting. That's what it was designed for... a quick-opening bullet that had the core 'Lokt' to...

The Core-Lokt is notorious for expanding too rapidly at close range from an '06. It does not work well at high velocity... like out of a .300 Win Mag. It's not a penetrator, either, if it hits...

The K-Hornet has the shoulder blown out to increase case capacity. It stands to reason that a regular Hornet die will set the shoulder back to match that of a standard Hornet cartridge. You could...
