    Converting 30-06 to 7x57

    Glass bedding - when to use a pressure pad?

    the idea of the factory forearm pressure pad was first introduced by ruger early on when their barrels were not very good, it is supposed to make the barrel length oscillations shorter to help them shoot better, apparently it works for hunting rifles used for no more than a couple of hundred...

    Small vs Large Rifle Primers for accuracy?

    Survey: Your Favorite .30 Caliber
