As I understand, a lot of importers simply reamed the chamber exactly as you say, but a standard .308 bullet does not engage the rifling well due to a smaller diameter.

t's the best I could do with what I had. PAX

I think you did well. Looks good.

There is also the demise of the old Samco Global company of the mid 1980s.

I think they were badly managed, though, in the area of customer service. I saw a lot of bad comments from people who complained that they got a cold shoulder on the phone lines.

I shot a button buck last week--mistook it for a doe.

Hunting this weekend to fill the buck tag.

Any idea as to why they folded?

Yep. That was the one.

That is a neat show. Truth be told, I like all gunshows as it gets me around guns, but the MVC show is probably the best.

Went to a gun show here in Kansas City yesterday. it was great to finally see a gun show with a LOT of guns. Hector If you were at the Expocenter near the airport, it was the Missouri Valley Collectors annual show. It's different from other shows because it's a club event. I did not go as I was out...

Nice rifle!

I've often thought of landing a T-53. Fireballs make for shooting fun.

FamilyFirearms, what's the future for gunshows? My own experience from the couple I've been to recently: some good deals and some bad. The days of crates of $100 surplus long gone, and that's probably the biggest difference in the shows today than a few years ago for me. Milsurps tend to "here and t...

after recounting the utter stupid stuff they did in past hunts with them

That's absolutely a game changer.

I my experience about 95% of hunters are very careful but that 5% are dangerous I hunt 20 feet up in a tree lol This is my experience. Hunters have to have a hunter safety course, but other shooters do not. Also, hunters wear blaze orange in many instances, often by law. In my experience, the sorts...

The bedding required on a Model 111 is illustrated on youtube somewhere and it is shown that it is important to bend the rear action screw as well as the forward receiver/barrel. If yours has the cheaply made synthetic stock, as does mine, it is a bit tricky but it can be done and is effective. Goo...

Vertical stringing is almost always action screws too tight,or wood touching the barrel. It's a Savage 111 and read a while back on savageshooters that they can be particularly picky about the action screws. I I did a free float a while back as the very front of the stock was touching, but it did n...

I tried my hand loads for the first time yesterday afternoon and am still intact. I'm new to reloading and am using the classic Lee Loaders. I had a solid group with my 22-250 and, although my 30-06 is stringing vertically, (a preexistent issue I have to correct) the round column wasn't much more th...
