Dear WLS

  • Jordan F – “I’ve got a 1966 made Winchester Model 70 in .270 WIN that I picked up with a 1-3 x 32 Weaver scope on it. I can only assume with such a tiny magnification who ever had this rifle before me didn’t shoot more than 50 yards , I’m thinking it was set up as a deer rifle. I’d like to take it out to 100 yards at least, intent is to be a general purpose rifle and not just set up for deer/50 yards or less. What magnification would you guys recommend I look at/for? Also looking at picking up a new rifle in 338 Lapua, what magnification would you recommend for this one? Have access to a 300 yard range for this one, hopefully can find a longer range someday. Thanks, Jordan”

  • Hugh G. Clit – “How many stoppages is too many for your main squeeze AR? I’ve recently started trying to train more. I w been using a cmmg 22 conversion to shoot at least 500 rds per month of drills. Normally about 150 rds at a range trip. Then I finish the range trip by shooting a mag of 55gr 556 ammo. But my rifle normally has a hard time getting through the 556 mag. Having a failure to fire every 5 or 6 rds. I’m thinking it’s because of how dirty the 22 lr is. But if I do t shoot the 22 lr ammo. I get a stoppage every 2 or 3 mags. Is that normal? Should I be able to get through 100 rds without an issue? How many times do you expect to have a malfunction per 500 rds?”

  • a-in-your-face s. – “I was watching a JaredAF video where he was talking about lead levels and lead exposure. He shoots a lot and reloads and had is blood lead level tested and it was 5x the normal level. The amount of shooting I do is very cyclic, from 10-15k rounds a year when I was shooting competition to very little in the last year. If I had high levels they have probably lowered by now. But lately I have been introducing my kids to shooting and trying to at least teach them about exposure and hand washing (and keeping your hands out of your mouth). Do any of you guys have concern for lead levels and lead exposure, particularly Shawn who shoots a lot and Jeremy who spends tons of time at an indoor range? Is this something that yall even think about? #no_notes #SSB”

  • Kyle R – It’s the mid 80’s .The WLS SSB Team has been convicted of crimes they did not commit and escaped into the Ohio underground. Colonel Lynch (not Nick) and his team has them pinned down in an active airplane hanger. You each need to choose a character, but not the obvious one. Therefore no Jeremy Pozracus, Hannibal Herron, Nick the Faceman, or Howling Mad Moses. Savage can remain the female reporter that follows them around. You can choose 1 of 2 weapons from each of the following 4 categories to disperse 1 of to each member. Pistol- Hi-Power or 1911. Rifle- M16A1 or Mini-14. SMG- Thompson or Micro-Uzi and a heavy machine gun-M60 or M2. How does the SS-B Team get out of this one?

  • AR Drew – I am looking for a short (under 10”) bolt action 300blk. Ideally it would be 1/5 twist and I would only shoot suppressed. My question for Jeremy is how important is that fast twist on a short barrel with subsonic 300blk? The twist really limits options to the B&T SPR300 (about $5k), the Q Mini Fix (about $2500 dealer cost but Q), the Christensen Arms MPP (about $2k when you can find them), or more custom options like Black Collar Arms. What does the crew recommend? I just want something really short and quiet. Undecided if this will remain a pistol with a brace or an SBR with a cool folding stock (maybe the one from Samson). Do I go with one of these options, go with a different twist rate, or build something myself?
