GunReports.com publishes the detailed ammo-testing protocol from Gun Tests magazine, the most commonly requested addition to Gun Tests coverage. Gun Tests' focus is on performance before the bullet hits the target. 'We realize that results from our test gun can’t be extrapolated to every possible gun readers might own, we wanted to test ammunition in a fashion most consumers would be able to duplicate, and in fact, should conduct on their own. But our framework can potentially save you money and time by narrowing the list of candidates you might try in your own gun, and you can also follow our system to see if a given round performs for you like it did for us.

GunReports.com shows how to excess headspace in the 1903 and ’03A3 Springfield rifles better than the way Granddad did it. If you have access to a lathe, use this method to correct excess headspace easily, without the need for an expensive chambering reamer.

Wow! Any further north and they'd be in Canada. Some of their profits will be spent on snow removal. I was near Livingston in June of this year and witnessed snow falling. Had to return to the rented cabin and fire-up the heater. Snow in June is just not acceptable.

"Snow in June is just not acceptable."

Man, that is funny! I would add that, here in the Ozarks, we complain if there's any snow in March!

You girls obviously do not consider much beyond creature comfort. Check the laws to find the most gun-friendly state and Montana is at the top of the list. Manufacturers think about such things.

"You girls obviously do not consider much beyond creature comfort."

Spoken like the rash youth that you are. When you're even close to being as old a I am, you will, by God's grace, be entitled to your creature comforts, and will gladly take what few you can get.

What the heck good are the favorable gun laws when your hands are too frozen to pull the darn trigger? My wife wants to move there and I was wondering if it would be considered unmanly to have her fetch the firewood from the front porch? I liked the views and the full flavored Cowboy Coffee.

OK, but from where did they relocate? California? New York? Where?

Comment by: JAMES H | October 2, 2009

I think they moved from Chino Valley, Arizona

Jeff W, that wouldn't be unmanly. Heck, I was 8 years old before I figured out my name wasn't "Get Wood".
