    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    Off course that is fun, but it is funner with more guns (I did try, sold off all the safequeens, kept the 3 guns I actually used. Not sure what happened but the inventory in the safe just did grow by it self...).

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    OP wanted to use light-for-caliber bullets, som short action would work very nice. In my opinion the optimal case volume for a 6,5mm projectile is the 6,5x55, yes-one can get some more speed with larger volume but at some point you just burn more powder and barrel steel. For good order, I am...

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    260Remington, more balanced then the x55 with light bullets, fits in a short-acton. Cases will never be an issue. 243 would also do what you want here..

    Here in Norway we had a long running radioshow with two guys talking about everything and nothing (guss this today would be a podcast :-) ). They ask their listeners to send them Cola form everywhere they could find it, and did a taste test/review of 1 Cola soft drink each week. But no soft...

    Help Please...9.3x62 Makes No Sense

    Bad batch of CCI large rifle magnum primers

    The Norwegian Rifle Association (which also sells ammunition and reloading components) a few years ago had a large batch of CCI-200 primers with a failure rate that was extremely high. Even the best companies can make mistakes.

    Pain is weakness leaving the body; I was planning to have this tattooed on my neck, you know from the cheek bone and down towards the center of my chest. Like really bad-ass tough! But the girl at the tattoo-place said it would be a bit painful so I didnt do it. As for arthritis, I can write a...

    338/06 or 25/06?

    What is the project really? What are going to use the gun for? Kind of big jump from 25-96 to 338-06. Spend the money on ammo instead. I myself would not spend a dime on a Savage, it is OK guns for what they are (cheap working guns for does just need a rifle an do not care if it looks like the...

    Just buy one, in this kind of projects money flows.. Garage/Bubba gunsmithing; thee action should close freely on a factory loaded cartridge; with a bit of resistance with one layer of Scotch-tape added to the bottom; and not close if 2 layers are added. A LeeEnfield (orP14) might be the...

    I need some of your wisdom on a 6.5 Swede sporter!

    I would stay clear of the Swede's built on pre-m98 actions (they are beautifully machined and strong and all that; but a failed case means your face and eye will be sprayed with debris. Thrust me, I have seen it happen and the shooter wasn't happy to get to know the eyedoctor really good...)...

    Scratching my head: 7x57 load development

    What speeds do you get with factory loads vs what the maker claims? Reloading manuals are just guides, they are accurate for the exact test-gun and conditions.

    Credit Card Surcharges in South Africa

    Someone is playing for the cost of the credit, typically the seller and 2-3%.IE-if you pay by credit card the seller do not receive the full amount. I am ok with this cost bering charged to me, if this was a part of the agreed arrangement. But 10%is way over any acceptable fee.

    HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN A SHIP

    The "standard" of a new merchant vessel today is WAY behind anything built 30years ago. Claiming anything else just shows one has no idea of the subject. Latest move for general cargo ships is returning to common bathrooms for the crew. It is all about reducing cost of both building and operation.
