I aquired a Winchester 1400 the other day, and it's in really nice shape! but, I have heard both that they are junk and they are good shooters. what say you? What besides the firing pin screwing up should I be looking for for it? I know it's not anything I can do a mag tube extension for because of...

W296 is openly admitted to being the same thing as H110 (both are made by the same company, on the same line). What's funny is that hornady has it changing loads by .1gr in the blackout data though. Not sure what to make of that other than a lot-to-lot variation. As you suggest, it could simply be ...

Try H110 powder too, nearly identical if I'm remembering correctly. Not necessarily in the caliber I'm reloading for. At least according to QL. I have 2400, Lil Gun, N110 and 1680. I've already characterized them in this caliber. I left off about to try and see if QL was right with it's predictions...

I called and the fellow said they don't have any and they don't carry that particular powder.
I didn't know if I had to offer a bribe or not...

Super!

Thanks,

I know powder is as in demand as much as primers right now. Has anyone seen Winchester 296 in stock anywhere within an hour of the TC Metro? Got my primers and the weather is starting to moderate, so my thoughts are starting to drift in the direction of the projects I left off on last fall. Thanks, ...

I just called JP rifles about their break in Procedure. The rep said that if I wanted to get the most out of my barrel that I have to follow the instructions: :roll: (Clean, fire 20, then use JB bore compound. Then repeat two more times (fire 20 then use JB, fire 20 then use JB). Repeat again after...

...snip... Isn't there some theory about using/not using moly as well? The only issue with MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) is when folks interpret reduced copper fouling with never needing to clean again. It is hygroscopic and it is derived from a reaction using Sulfur. Some folks have experienced it ...

Why not pick up a short action model 11 in an available caliber and swap out for a .308 barrel? A local fellow sells new, unfired take-off Savage barrels. He has sporter profile .308 barrels for $85.00 and varmint profile for $205.00. It takes maybe 20 minutes to swap out barrels and 15 of that woul...

I agree break in has really become this big debate that no one can really quantify. You have some high end barrel makers that so do it, others say don't. My thing is dont over heat your barrel, especially at first. I've seen more reputable sources say high heat can cause more issues then pure volum...

If you want to experiment with some bullets but not buy entire boxes, I have some that fall into the category you are interested in reloading. They are left over from some experimenting I did with a caliber I do not have anymore. They are the following: 16) Hornady 30310 140gr Monoflex 25) Hornady 3...

I think you all are taking it too personally. The cable news media just wants to sell commercial slots. They'll pick at any scab to get folks to stay tuned "After these important messages." It's about the love of money. Nothing more.

How about using a bore snake for cleaning between shots? That would probably suffice if you give it a squirt of Hoppes every couple of shots and shake it out. Sure beats taking up a shooting position next to you with the gun vise and cleaning gear or continuously going back to your tailgate. If tha...

Makes me very proud. Hopefully, they don't piddle away the departmental prize money on some politically correct project. Hoot I think they need an armored personnel carrier, or maybe a tank. How about a bunch of HMMWV's, we can't have them serving warrants in a Crown Vic, now can we? A return to Cr...
