Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Past gun fads, moly coated bullets

Nice floor.

Compass in the buttstock. If you set the rifle on a perfectly flat surface you could almost differentiate between North and West.

Huge Monte Carlo rollover cheekpieces. I dont think Weatherby even uses them anymore.

Wundhammer palm swells.

As I understand, the original plan at WW was to name this bullet "Black Widow," but somebody in the marketing department said, "Uhhhh....."

You must've been reading my mind. This laughable gimmick gets my vote.

I only saw one in the wild. Back before Gander Mountain went TU. Pretty sure it was that - I remember my dad sorta looking at it. Got a Coyote M70 in 22-250 instead.

Whoa! Haven't heard that one for years. Actually fell for that one years ago. Pretty nice Sako rifle that shot like a scattergun :):)

Does Krieger still do that to all their blanks? I know they used to.

Creedmoor........ will be right there with the WSM, WSSM, RUM and BOSS crowd

Trounds

Gyro Jet

triangular rifle barrels

Creedmoor is here to stay.

That is almost a Stick post, fish, rifle, ammo, fishing rod. Other than it is not soaking in a creek bed.

Wood stocks.

Chrome Raven .25 in a Crown Royal bag.

Come on,man. Some things never go out of style.

Saboted rifle bullets. In theory you can get much higher velocities. Remington marketed saboted .22s in 30-06 and 30-30. Somehow the idea failed in the implementation.

I still use moly. For me it's easy. I had an industrial accident, spilled maybe a teaspoon of water into my plating tumbler drum unaware I'd done so. What a mess. But, after I retumbled the bullets in a dry spare drum with some sacrifice shop rags, they were the shiniest, slickest things ever. No neck welding EVAH.
Shortly after, Mic McPherson wrote of his similar discovery, more deliberate. But since then, I've tumbled bullets with a pinch of moly and a sneeze of water. It's usually pretty dry where I live, if I don't shoot or don't plan on it for a while, I'll dampen a patch with Kroil or even just good old 9 and that takes care of any rust fuzzing. Did have that once.
I've got a bunch of good loads, a bunch of good rifles that shoot fine and clean easy, so I guess it works for me.

TROUNDS! Oh yeah. Them.

Site-Pro crosshair illuminator. I fell for it, piece of sh*t....
