…We typically refer to bullet imbalance in terms of CG offset. CG (center of gravity) offset is where the center of gravity of the bullet is offset from the geometric axis or center line of the bullet. With CG offset, we have an unnatural condition where the bullet is forced to rotate about the geometric axis or center of form while inside the barrel. But a spinning projectile always wants to spin on its principal axis (center of gravity) when free to do so…
…I stumbled across a small mesa top site. Potsherds, flint chips, literal archaeology scattered on the ground…
…stress free bedding is what we want. We want the receiver to maintain its stress free, relaxed state without any deflection when the action screws are tightened. I’m going to show you a super easy way to check the bedding for stress…
…A simple idea… Drive from Wendover, straddling the Nevada/Utah border on I-80, to St. George in the SW corner of Utah, near the Arizona border. Drive from Wendover to St. George… on dirt…
With most shotgun loads for coyote, I’m thrilled to see 25 pellets in a 10″ circle at 40 yards. Pattern #2 has 50 pellets in the 10″ at 40 yards. And you could draw 10″ circles in different spots around that pattern clear out to the edges and still have 25+ pellets in each of those circles…
After lunch at the Revenue mine, it was back on the trail to our next stop, the ghost town of Stateline. Stateline is one of the best ghost towns anywhere, too much to see in a short visit but we did our best!
…some winter pictures to take my mind off the heat and think happy thoughts of winter coyotes charging into the call. And hopefully do the same for you!
…five shot groups all under a half inch and velocity in the mid 4300’s… Tim plucked two chucks off the same rock with his next two shots, at 605 yards…
…I found a minty looking used McMillan from off of a Remington Custom Shop 40XB KS for a very fair price. The stock arrived with composite pillars already installed and a nice looking bedding job that had previously been done…
Anytime you are getting a barrel that has already been fit and chambered for another action, and especially when getting a barrel custom fitted to a modified action, there is absolutely no guarantee that the barrel is going to fit or headspace properly on your action. You don’t need to be a ‘smith or a machinist to safely install a barrel like this, but you do need to have a complete grasp and understanding of barrel fitting and headspace etc.
