    Article in "The American Rifleman" on BP and Subs

    :shocked2: It might be an interesting article for some but I and my friends do not use much more than 80gr of 3f for anything we shoot. I once used 90gr in my GPR and had a sore shoulder for a couple days( we were sighting in at 100 yds) Cheers DBJ

    Priming Powder

    Your probably going to get the same response that i'm sending but here it goes, back in the olden days a rifleman could get only one size powder so he used it for both priming and shooting. I gave this sone thought so I use tripple f for both and hav'nt had any problems Cheers John:hmm:

    What happened to the .45s ?

    :thumbsup: My competition rifle is a flint .40 cal. but the next rifle I build is going to be a .45. I really think that as you get older the 13/16 barrel-.45 cal is easyer to carry,hold on target, and a better all round caliber, and weight wise more better on my arms. sooo theres my two cents...

    To Carve or Not to Carve

    :v In my limited experience I have found that carving is mainly used on fairly plain stocks, that is to make a plain stock more pleasing to the eye. If you have a stock with a lot of curl I think very little emblishment is needed as that will distract from the beauty of the wood. If you are a...

    :hmm: In response to Undertaker, I'm quite suprised that any one would pick just one as a favorite.Every rifle that I own has it's own purpose and I like them all.

    Smallest caliber

    :surrender: Last summer while on patrol in a rough part of town, some enterprising young men decided to shoot FROZEN paint balls at a house. I would consider those DANGEROUS weapons as to the damage they did. Ole dry ball john
