Is there any difference in accuracy, barrel life, cleaning , fouling etc. In other words is there any advantage one over the other . Thanks, Dan

As we don't have fox here, I really can't say but for coyotes I have found that the hollow point is more fur friendly than the plastic tip. I have also found that the slower I run them ,the less fur damage. I don't like to "Knit one pearl two" all that much . For a straight on chest shot o...

I would be more than happy to give up a few veggies to be entertained by nice bucks like that. Dan

What a great day we had. Perfect temperature, lots of squirrels, accurate rifles and great company. Thanks Kevin for the shooting lesson. I was very impressed with Kevin’s shooting. I watched him turn Skippy’s fur coat inside out over and over and over at ranges from 300 -340 yds. with a brisk wind ...

I commend you for your decision . It helps us all in the long run. You are a true sportsman.

To tell you the truth Jim, It sucks. Just goes to show that all that glitters is not gold. I have shot over 300 rounds through it with 4 different powders and 4 different bullets. It’s like shooting a shotgun. One time I may get in the 3’s.Next 3 shot 2 close together and one 2 “ away or 1” group Bu...

Last I heard was 14 th of feb. Here is a copy of the article ! "High level sources have informed Yellowhammer News that Remington, one of the world’s largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday join Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley in announcing that they are bringing over 2,000 jobs to Alabama. The c...

I just completed turning 600 pieces of 223 into 20 VT but used a different approach for cutting the long necks to length. I clamped a 2x4 to the bench. Drilled a 7/16" x 1-3/16" deep hole in it close to the edge. I then took a piece of 1”x 2” x 3/16” scrap steel and drilled a ¼ “ hole in t...

Hi Rick;
were the vg's tipped or h.p.'s ?

For precision loading , Would a Redding T-7 Turret press be as accurate as a single stage press. My old Rock chucker has seen better days.

The chamber length of my 17 mach IV is 1.446”. The directions that came with the Sinclair chamber length gage indicated to maintain neck length a minimum of .024”shorter than the chamber. Therefore I could feasibly trim my cases to 1.422”.My winter project has been, reducing lake city 223 brass (bee...

Since a 17 fireball and a 17 Mach IV are so similar, can published load data for the fireball be used for the Mach IV,
or is there to much difference between the two . Dan

And I thought humans were the only ones that looked forward to " HUMP " day

I guess I described it wrong Rick. I necked a 221 down to 17 m4.The chamber seems to be .202 and the loaded round
Is .200 leaving only .001 on each side for bullet release.is that enough or do I need to trim them another .002. Thanks, Dan

Is trimming necks to .002 clearance loaded, less than chamber size , to tight? If so, what clearance is o.k.? Thanks. Dan
