This guide provides 17 essential habits for maintaining military surplus rifles to ensure longevity and reliability, even beyond 10,000 rounds. It covers proper cosmoline removal, immediate cleaning after corrosive ammo, judicious lubrication, environmental storage controls (humidity and temperature), wood stock conditioning, and proactive part replacement. Following these disciplined maintenance practices, similar to those used by military armorers, is crucial for preserving these historic firearms.

This video demonstrates the impact of cold temperatures on ammunition velocity. By testing Norma Oryx, Federal Power-Shok, and Remington Core-Lokt rounds after freezing, the experiment reveals significant velocity drops in standard ammunition compared to Norma's temperature-insensitive offerings. The findings highlight the importance of ammunition choice for consistent performance in extreme weather hunting scenarios.

This YouTube video conducts a temperature stability test on several Alliant gunpowder varieties, including Power Pro Varmint, AR-Comp, Reloder 15, Reloder TS 15.5, and Power Pro 2000-MR. The video aims to evaluate how variations in temperature affect the performance of these specific reloading powders.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses Hodgdon's Stabile 6.5 powder, highlighting its performance benefits for 6.5 Creedmoor and similar cartridges. Aaron Elders from Hodgdon explains that Stabile 6.5 offers increased velocity (100-150 fps more than some alternatives) and exceptional temperature stability, crucial for consistent long-range shooting and hunting across varying weather conditions. The discussion also touches on the current high demand for reloading components.

This guide, based on expert instruction from Brownells, details essential practices for proper ammunition storage. It emphasizes using airtight containers, managing humidity with desiccants, and maintaining stable temperatures to ensure ammunition reliability and safety. Proper storage is crucial for preventing corrosion and propellant degradation, especially for sensitive components like primers.

This guide demonstrates the long-range capabilities of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, as explained by Jeff Hoffman of Black Hills Ammunition. It highlights the importance of selecting the correct ammunition (like the 143 gr ELD-X for hunting or 147 gr ELD-M for competition) and properly adjusting a precision rifle's scope for extended distances, showcasing effective performance at 700 yards.
