	Night of the Tower, Freedom Tower of the Sky,
	Night of the Broken, The Worldwide System of Terror.
	Night of the Tower, Freedom Tower of the Sky,
	I'm William Cooper.
	You're listening to the Hour of the Tom.
	I'm William Cooper.
	You know, it's getting more and more entertaining in the world political arena.
	In fact, just turning on the television nowadays evokes gales of laughter.
	Oh, what a lineup we have!
	We have Charles Collins, whom everybody jumped on board with him and thought, this is the guy that's going to save the Constitution.
	And now, now he sounds like a raving maniac.
	He has even alienated himself from most of his original devoted followers by proposing to legitimize narcotics, marijuana, not realizing that the conservative crowd that he is supposed to be leading is totally against those things, although he is right on that issue.
	He'll never get elected president with that as part of his platform, I can guarantee you.
	And so, people are deserting Charles Collins now.
	Pat Buchanan did exactly as I said that he would, exactly as I predicted.
	He garnered the dissatisfied and the disenfranchised of the Republican Party to his banner with the promise of restoring constitutional Republican government and all of the other things that he touted.
	Of course, I knew that he was a bare-faced liar from the beginning, simply because of his background.
	I've read everything that he's ever written.
	It's clear that Pat Buchanan is a closet socialist.
	It is also clear that he is a highly degreed adept of the mystery school of ancient Babylon.
	He's a member of the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights of Malta.
	Last Christmas, the Christmas cards that he sent out all had on their cover a great obelisk with a neat little red bow tied at the bottom with the two bows, one on each side, representing the genitals of Osiris.
	The generative force, the phallus, the lost word, the Freemasonry, etc., etc., etc.
	Unbelievable.
	And the sheeple fell for it.
	Many of them, Christians, displayed his Christmas card prominently in their mantle and in their homes, so proud to have received a card from Pat Buchanan.
	Unbelievable.
	We have a Marxist-Communist in the White House.
	William Clinton and his wife Hillary together, the first androgynous presidency ever.
	We refer to them as Billory for short.
	She holds seances and talks to spirit guides who tell her what to do, and I'm sure she whispers these instructions in the President's ear, probably when he is at his most vulnerable.
	And she gets advice regularly from the dead Eleanor Roosevelt.
	I'd like to see that trick.
	I can tell you.
	Bill Clinton is out in front for the presidency, promising benefits
	for everybody under any and every circumstance that you can imagine.
	After the greatest sob story manipulative democratic convention ever held in this country, where they paraded every possible combination of misfit, cripple, handicapped, physically disadvantaged, as they call it, That's the most sap, liberal, socialist, puke-faced line that I've ever seen in my life.
	And, of course, the Republican convention wasn't much better.
	It was just a big show.
	In fact, they didn't even need to have the convention.
	Everybody knew that Bob Dole was going to be nominated.
	There wasn't even any challenge to him.
	Oh, Pat Buchanan, you say?
	Bullshit.
	total, absolute dribble. It shows that you have less between your ears than what you
	even thought, if you believe to that.
	Fat Buchanan was there for one reason and one reason only, to garner the disenfranchised
	of the Republican Party behind him so that they would not go out and find a viable candidate
	that they could put up against Bob Dole and take control of the Republican Party.
	And then at the last minute, Pat Buchanan did exactly as I predicted he would.
	he told his followers to vote for Bob Dole.
	And everybody fell for it.
	And of course, what do we have?
	Well, let me see.
	There's that little fella from Texas down there.
	He's always talking about the chicken that didn't cross the road because he was mired down in the mud and the only reason there was mud there is because... Who knows?
	Anybody ever figure out what this guy's talking about?
	Chickens and ducks and pigs and horses and charts and graphs and of course he wants to do away with the Constitution.
	He said it.
	And I heard it.
	Several times.
	The Constitution is an old, antiquated document put together by old men over 200 years ago who had no idea of the complexity of the modern world.
	The system has to be changed.
	If you don't believe me, ask them two chickens over there, because they've got a pig that says that the horse stepped on them last night because this chart over here peaked up here like that and down here at the bottom, and that says we're going to be fine.
	And what is he proposing?
	Do away with the Internal Revenue Service and he wants to use the Internal Revenue Service's computers to refigure the taxes of all Americans for the last few years and figure out what taxes are fair and how to redo the tax system so that it's fair and everybody pays their share of what we're going to do with the Internal Revenue Service.
	But we're going to keep their records so we can make sure the tax system is fair and all this stuff and this other thing because the chicken told me so.
	Even Allison, she's only a year old, can see through this guy who is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Rockefeller family who made him a billionaire by giving him a contract in the state of New York for computer services where there were no bidders, no opposing bidders to the contract.
	Have you ever heard of anything like that in your entire life in the state of New York, which is totally corrupt?
	No other bidders?
	Oh, come on!
	Help!
	I can't stand it anymore.
	And, of course, Bob Dole has his own Way to buy voters.
	See, they're all trying to buy you.
	Bill Clinton is trying to buy you by promising you he'll take care of you no matter whatever happens to you.
	Whether you're employed, unemployed, sick, fall off of a 500-story building, explode in an airplane crash.
	He's going to protect you from terrorists.
	He's going to protect you from everything.
	He's going to protect you from wet diapers and from bad food.
	Bill Clinton is going to protect you and take care of you.
	Bob Dole is going to give you back America and he's going to, across the board, give you a 15% income tax cut.
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Aye, chihuahua. Ahem. And, uh...
	And Chicken Man down in Texas is going to do away with the Internal Revenue Service.
	And they're all lying to you, every single one of them.
	Charles Collins wants to bring back marijuana.
	I can't stand it anymore.
	It's like somebody left the loony bin loose.
	I mean they're all out on the streets at the same time and everybody's running around trying to vote for them.
	I mean, I'm not going to be able to vote for them. I mean, I'm not going to be able to vote for them.
	I mean, I'm not going to be able to vote for them.
	You can tell me. I've got to get ready to get everything right.
	Monday Night Football coming on tonight.
	Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you really ready?
	Are you ready for the football at Monday Night Football?
	Hey, it's a rockin' rainbow.
	We ain't got a good time, sorry.
	We got the beat from the band and the track of the night.
	All my rowdy friends are back for Monday night.
	Now everyone watching this five time show New York, Nashville, San Francisco.
	We love to watch the kickoff and the game begin.
	The street is heating, the clans in advance.
	The screams of the crowd in the linebacker's stead.
	The slams and short backs and the wiggles of the hair.
	Big hits are coming, the backs are touching their sides.
	Everybody turns it up Monday night.
	Everybody in the dance.
	Make sure that they bring a smile to the face.
	We got the same sound to dance.
	We got the same sound to dance.
	We got the wind and the sun that's right.
	Oh, I got a feeling that this is what's next.
	Welcome to Monday Night Radio.
	Ha ha ha.
	Well, I hope all my rowdy friends are here tonight, because tonight we're going to talk about something dear to my heart, and dear to the hearts of all free men and women everywhere.
	Rifles, pistols, shotguns, weapons of all kinds.
	I want to talk about guns.
	Yes, sir.
	And I'm going to tell you how to put together tonight the best long-range rifle you've ever dreamed of in your entire life, so you better get Paper and pen or pencil and be ready to write because I'm not going to pause.
	And if you call me and ask me what you missed or to repeat something, forget it.
	I'm not going to do that.
	I'm going to tell you to order the tapes.
	And by the way, you can order studio quality stereo tapes of the broadcast of the hour of the time from us.
	Right now they're on sale and I forgot the sale price.
	Annie, what's the sale price?
	Bring me the sale price real quick for studio quality tapes.
	My dear, if you will, I've forgotten what the sale price is.
	Are you there?
	Hello, Annie?
	Bring me the sale price of the tapes, please.
	Are you listening?
	What is the sale price for the tapes?
	Okay, thank you dear.
	The sale price for studio quality tapes right now, you can get them, of any tape that we've ever done in the last four years and some odd months, is $7 for non-members, $5 for members.
	$5 for members, $7 for non-members.
	Now, on tapes of the hour, the time where it's two tapes, like when we started doing two tapes, and I believe that was the beginning of this month, the second, I believe.
	From the second on, you double that amount for the two tapes.
	I'll tell you what, for the two tape shows, for the sale price, add two dollars.
	For members, it'll be $7 for two-hour shows, and for non-members, it'll be $9 for two-hour shows.
	So if you want to order Studio Quality Tapes the hour of the time, or for any time during the last, since we began broadcasting the hour of the time, for any tape that we have available, it's $5 for members, $7 for non-members, and during this special sale, you can get them for that price.
	I'll tell you when the sale is over.
	And for broadcasts that are two hours long since the 2nd of September, just add two dollars to that price.
	So for members, since the 2nd of September, the price of studio quality tapes will be hour at a time for two hours, for two hour nights.
	Remember that Friday night, we're just one hour, will be seven dollars.
	And for non-members, it will be nine dollars.
	So you can You can take care of that.
	Yes, sir.
	Ah, the New York Post said, ladies and gentlemen, that talk radio listeners are the most well-informed, most up-to-date on the news people in the country.
	Just remember that.
	And that's an admission by an extreme, left-wing, radical newspaper.
	Marxist, socialist, all the way.
	You don't listen to talk radio if you don't participate.
	You don't know nothing.
	And that's the truth.
	Okay.
	Get out your pen and paper because here we go.
	I'm going to tell you right now how to make the best long-range rifle in the world.
	Now listen to me.
	You don't have to get this rifle.
	There are many other good rifles out there and I'm not going to argue with you about which one's the best or which one's the worst because whatever is good for you is the best for you.
	I happen to be a rifle person.
	I'm one of the best shots you will ever see and you don't ever want to go up against me on a range anywhere or in real life or anything else because I'm a dead shot with a rifle at just about any range that that rifle will reach.
	I'm not real good with a pistol.
	I'll be the first one to tell you that.
	Almost anybody is better than me with a pistol if they've been firing a pistol for a while.
	I'm not bad with a pistol, I'm just not real good at it.
	For instance, when we go out and we shoot the combat situations that we put up out here, I am frequently beat by guys who do seven seconds.
	That's a whole bunch of targets.
	To the right, to the left, way down range, in the middle.
	You just walk along and when you hear the signal you have to draw.
	Uh, you're a pistol and you have to hit each one of those targets and you can't miss because a miss subtracts seconds from your score and you can't afford that.
	But I'm always beat by lots of people who do like seven seconds and I'm up in 13.
	So I don't pretend to be a great big pistol wizard or pistol arrow or anything else, but I am really good with a rifle.
	That doesn't mean there's not people out there who can't beat me.
	I mean, there are probably a lot of people in this world who can beat me with a rifle.
	People who do it for a living, who are champion rifle people, who fire consistently.
	There are probably some good old boys down south with a squirrel rifle who could beat anybody alive anywhere.
	So I'm not saying that I'm the best in the world, but I am really, really good with a rifle.
	So when I talk about rifles and shooting a rifle, I know what I'm talking about or I'm not going to mislead you.
	Now there are lots and lots of good cartridges and good rifles in different configurations that make good, good standard rifles from anywhere between 100 out to 500 yards.
	When I talk about a long range rifle, I'm talking about a rifle that will consistently,
	accurately shoot well from 500 yards to a mile.
	To one mile.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	That's the kind of long range rifle that I own and shoot all the time.
	And I'm going to tell you about it.
	Some of you may have already heard this.
	I've had the man who invented and made this rifle on this broadcast several times, but I still keep getting letters from people who want to hear about the Long Range Rifle again, and again, and again, and again.
	So I'm going to tell you right now.
	The first thing you need to make this rifle work is a good action.
	Now, most of you already are aware of the fact, if you've been shooting for any length of time or know anything about rifles whatsoever, is that for the best accuracy you need a bolt-action rifle.
	That's the only way you get dead on good accuracy is with a good bolt action rifle.
	Now we're going to build this rifle from the ground up.
	Now you can still get the parts that I'm going to tell you about or you can special order
	them from several different people or companies or manufacturers or gunsmiths across the country.
	So don't call me and say, well where can I get this?
	Start calling people.
	Find out where you can get what you specifically need, because I can't tell you all of these things from where my parts came from.
	But I can tell you that the best bolt action that's ever been made in this entire world is the large ring Mauser action.
	Why is it the best?
	Because it's rock solid.
	Make sure you get forged steel parts.
	Forged steel parts.
	All of the parts in your large ring bolt action large ring Mauser bolt action have to be forged steel.
	The cast is not good for the kinds of pressures and the kinds of forces that are going to
	be exerted on this action with the round that we're going to be using.
	So pay attention.
	You need a large ring Mauser action.
	I don't care where you get it.
	I really don't.
	But you need a large ring Mauser action.
	The one that I originally began with is an Interarms Whitworth Express Mark 10.
	And you can still find those in places like The Gun List or Shotgun News.
	Look under Inter Arms or look under Whitworth.
	Either one of those two headings if they have them.
	And sometimes they do have them listed under both headings.
	And look for the Mark 10 Action or a Mark 10 Rifle.
	If chances of finding just the action are very slim, you're going to have to start probably
	with the whole rifle.
	Just buy the whole rifle.
	It's 400 and something dollars usually you can get one for.
	You want it in .375 H and H Magnum caliber.
	Okay.
	So you want a, an Interarms Whitworth Mark 10 Express in 375 H and H Magnum caliber.
	And what you're going to do is you're going to remove the stock.
	And you're going to remove the barrel, and you're going to use this action.
	Because if you really want long range, you can keep the barrel on, and you'll do pretty good at a pretty good distance, but you're not going to do as good as you could with a longer barrel.
	So, let me tell you something.
	If you don't like what I'm telling you or the way I'm telling you to build this rifle, build it the way you want to.
	I'm not trying to start an argument with anybody.
	I'm just telling you what I know.
	So, what you need to do to build it the way that I know works best for me is remove the stock and the barrel.
	Keep the action.
	If you don't want to screw everything up, it's best to have a good gunsmith do these
	things for you because number one, he has the tools, the expertise, he can do it quicker
	without damaging anything.
	And that's important.
	You want to have the bolt and the receiver polished.
	Have the bolt and the receiver polished.
	You can do that yourself if you do it, if you're careful and don't remove too much metal
	because you don't want to loosen anything up.
	You just want to make it operate smooth as silk.
	Okay?
	Then take it to a competent gunsmith who knows what he's doing and works often with wildcat weapons.
	A wildcat is where a specific caliber is chambered to increase the amount of powder In the powder capacity in the round.
	So, what we're going to do is start with a .375 H&H Magnum chambered action.
	And we're going to have a confident gunsmith re-chamber it for .375 H&H Magnum Wildcat.
	Okay?
	A good, confident gunsmith, which you will have to find in your area, who knows how to do this, can do it very quickly and very simply.
	At the same time, you want to order So that you'll get it back within a reasonable amount of time.
	A 30 inch barrel or 31 inch barrel in the 375 caliber.
	You want it drilled or rifled, I should say, with a 1 in 12 twist.
	Okay?
	You want a 1 in 12 twist rifling.
	That means the bullet is going to make a complete turn going through that barrel 360 degrees every 12 inches.
	You're going to put a good spin on that bullet.
	When it goes down range, it's going to be stabilized because it's got to stay stabilized for a long distance.
	Have your gunsmith mount that barrel to your Mark 10 action, which he has already re-chambered
	for the 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat round.
	The next thing you want him to do is put a recessed target crown at the end of the barrel.
	Thank you.
	And this is so that you have a perfect ending to your barrel where the bullet comes out so that there are no nicks or dings and so that you can't accidentally bump it or nick it or ding it or drop it or whatever and decrease the accuracy of the barrel.
	A recessed target crown ensures the best accuracy possible when the bullet leaves the muzzle or the end of your barrel.
	The next thing you want to do is have him make you a compensator for the end of your barrel.
	This is absolutely necessary.
	Number one, have him make a compensator that has the ports on the top So that it decreases muzzle rise or barrel buck as it's called.
	That's when the barrel jumps after you fire and usually raises up in the air.
	So that you can stay on target as long as possible or reacquire your sight picture, get back on target really quick.
	It also ends the blast up in the air.
	And it can be ported, like, at 45 degree angles on both sides of the upper part of the compensator.
	And it also prevents a dust cloud from rising up from the muzzle blast of the weapon, giving away your position, or frightening deer, or antelope, or elk, or whatever it is that you may be hunting.
	And this is extremely important.
	Now you've got an action, a barrel, A compensator.
	You have rechambered for 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat.
	And you have a custom 30 or 31 inch barrel.
	And by the way, the barrel should be a match grade.
	Top of the line.
	It should be the very best.
	It should be thick.
	And I'm not going to go into all of that because that's, you know, those are things that are that are personal, you can either have them fluted or not
	fluted. If it's fluted it dissipates heat faster and all that kind of stuff. That's all up to
	you personally. And we'll continue this talk in just a few seconds. Don't go away. I'll be
	right back.
	Thank you.
	Oh, I'm sure it'll get better in time.
	I just read the headlines in the Nashville News.
	And I wish I had made it up, but I'm afraid it's So the man was murdered for his money in the street.
	He was taking his wife to a nice place to be.
	When they caught the man, he hid twenty-three months of time.
	He fled the fantasy life and went out all the time.
	Sure.
	What would you have done in 1869?
	Now, if you knew someone virgin, you'd get all scum free.
	Oh, it's the biggest thing that's been written in history.
	Now, they drew the manufacturer from the gun.
	Ain't a law, ain't a lot, just 1860 marks.
	Spend a day, a night, whatever it is.
	May I see the sorrow in a hundred years.
	And I'll be young running out like a slave.
	Ain't a law, ain't a lot, just 1860 marks.
	The hour of the time is brought to you by Swiss America Trading.
	They specialize in non-reportable, non-confiscatable hard assets.
	Real money.
	You know, folks, there is another side to this real money thing.
	I don't recommend it for those of us who are trying to survive what's coming, but there may be some of you brave souls out there I'd like to take a gamble once in a while.
	And the way to do that in precious metals is either on the commodities market, you know, buying futures, or buying or selling short.
	Or, there is a whole category of coins called numismatic.
	coins.
	Many of them are investment grade.
	Super quality.
	Very few of that type of that quality known in the world.
	And people frequently gamble by purchasing these.
	And what they're doing is they're doing so with the knowledge that the number of collectors of numismatic coins in the world increases as the population increases, as do the collectors of everything else.
	As collectors increase, they all have to vie for ownership of a number of coins that will not go around To all of them.
	For instance, if there are 40 collectors all looking for one coin, and there's only one of that kind of coin in the entire world, then whoever's got the most money is going to eventually get their hands on it.
	So when you make that kind of investment, you're gambling that the price of those coins is going to increase over a period of time, and that you're going to be able to sell that coin and make some money.
	And sometimes that happens, ladies and gentlemen.
	Sometimes that happens, and in fact, an awful lot of the time that happens.
	But I've got to tell you this, if you're doing that, it's got to be with the full knowledge That when this whole economy comes tumbling down, collectors of coins aren't going to have any money either and you could stand to lose everything.
	Okay?
	So you've got to understand that you can only play that game as long as they keep floating this economy by pumping money into the stock market and floating loans and all of that kind of stuff in order to make this phony paper, you know.
	Even though they do all of that, it still loses value and that's called inflation over a period of time.
	They can buy less and less and less and less and less and less and less.
	Eventually it ends up worth nothing.
	But if you're interested in any of this, and I know that some of you probably are, or if you would just like to get your hands on some real money so that you can make sure, because real money, folks, You're not doing that for investment.
	You're buying it close to the value of the gold.
	To make sure that it's non-reportable and non-confiscatable, you've got to pay at least 15% above the actual worth of the gold.
	But remember this, when you do that, when this economy comes tumbling down, You're not going to lose anything.
	In fact, the value of that coin is going to go through the roof.
	And I mean through the roof.
	You'll be king of the market.
	And that's exactly where you want to be.
	Well placed in that position.
	1-800-289-2646 is the number.
	1-800-289-2646 is the number.
	1-800-289-2646.
	1-800-289-2646.
	That's 1-800-BUY-COIN.
	Do it now, folks.
	You'll be real glad that you did.
	Get your hands on some real money.
	Cover your B-U-T-T.
	Get off your you-know-what and do something.
	Help save some of the things.
	Help protect the worth of what you worked your life for.
	It is amazing what is happening to people across this country.
	They're losing.
	We're losing big time.
	1-800-289-2646.
	1-800-289-2646. That's 1-800-BUY-COIN.
	I've got some things to say about getting married and away.
	And I'm trapped by the train, we're all gonna fall down and die.
	Shouldn't have needed a job done, they'll take your money and run.
	Too many folks don't give a damn if they help you.
	Now don't y'all get me wrong, this night doesn't last long.
	You know I've heard a lot of folks myself along the way.
	Look I go from town to town, I see the sun's ain't going down.
	They don't give a damn about the job, but the crew ain't bound to pay.
	Give me a chance now, show job, don't you let the shovels off.
	Ain't pridin' me anything, but I know they do.
	Don't forget about the banker, that's trying to help our neighbors.
	In Africa, I'm asking you to give me a chance.
	I'm going to go to bed.
	Let me just sort of go over what I covered before so that I'll know and you'll know that we're talking about the same thing here.
	We started with an Interarms, and you can use, it doesn't have to be an Interarms, Whitworth Mark 10, Whitworth Express Mark 10 action.
	That's just the one that I used because it's a good action.
	They were made in Yugoslavia.
	You cannot get them anymore unless someone is reselling one, and you'll frequently find them, used weapons or brand new weapons that have never been used for sale in Shotgun News or the Gun List under Inter Arms or under Whitworth.
	They are a large ring Mauser action.
	They're all forged steel.
	They're strong.
	They're good.
	What we did is we removed the stock, we removed the barrel, we polished the bolt and the receiver.
	We had it re-chambered for .375 H&H Magnum Wildcat.
	And to make all of this easy, you should purchase the rifle in 375 H&H Magnum caliber to begin
	with.
	Order a 30 or 31 inch heavy match grade barrel.
	Have it drilled and rifled for 1 in 12 twists and have the muzzle have a recessed target crown put on the muzzle end.
	And then have a compensator put on the muzzle end, make sure it's ported on the top, that it's not a flash suppressor, so to speak, but a real compensator that will exert the part of the force of the blast of the gases of the exploding cartridge Up into the air to keep the muzzle from bucking so that you can reacquire a target and so you can stay on target much easier and so that it doesn't blow a whole bunch of dust up from the ground and give away your position and scare the next target which might be another elk or another deer or another antelope or whatever it is that you happen to be hunting.
	Well, this rifle is frequently the biggest game that there is.
	This rifle is good for the biggest game that exists on the face of this earth.
	I don't care what it is.
	And you will learn to appreciate that if you ever build one of these.
	So now you've got everything ready to go.
	Now, you can get any kind of the synthetic stock that you want.
	It doesn't matter.
	For me, I got a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock with a thumb hole.
	And the reason I wanted a thumb hole is because I can twist not just my thumb in that hole, but I twist my palm around into that thumb hole stock so that I can use a part of my arm as a sort of a spring to absorb some of the recoil because the recoil in this This round that we're going to fire through this weapon is punishing.
	It is a terrible recoil.
	With the compensator, with the thumb hole stock, with a Packmeyer decelerator pad that we're going to put on the buddy end, a lot of this recoil can be alleviated.
	But it's still a lot of recoil, believe me.
	I fired this thing... Well, I went out one day and fired and came back home and my shoulder was black and blue and my head was blown up like a watermelon.
	But that's because I fired a lot of rounds because I needed brass to reload.
	Or I needed brass to practice my reloading, I should say.
	I already had plenty of brass to reload.
	But I didn't have Magnum Wildcat brass to reload.
	So, I fired some Magnum Wildcat rounds and practiced my reloading.
	You've got to practice all of this to make sure that it's right.
	You're going to have to reload your own rounds.
	But anyway, back to the rifle.
	I got a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock.
	Put a Pachmayr decelerator pad on the butt end.
	It has a thumb hole.
	It's an excellent stock.
	Now, why do you need a synthetic stock?
	The rifle comes with a wood stock.
	Wood will swell up with moisture.
	It will change its shape.
	It will warp.
	It will do all kinds of crazy things.
	And we have to, with this rifle, we have to float the barrel to get the best accuracy that we can possibly get.
	We don't want the stock changing shape or swelling up or warping or doing any of those
	kinds of things to us because we want to maintain the very best, very best accuracy that we
	possibly can.
	Now, when I first put my Bell & Carlson stock on, it was glass bedded.
	It was floated, the barrel was floated right up to the receiver and you could take a dollar
	bill and pass between the barrel and the stock, all the way down between the stock and the
	barrel, all the way up to the receiver.
	There was no stock touching the barrel.
	Went out and fired it for about a week and with the recoil and the settling of the glass
	bedding and all of that kind of stuff.
	Just a very small portion of the stock began to touch the barrel.
	And when it touched the barrel, all of my hard work in accurizing and in zeroing that rifle just disappeared.
	And it would no longer do what it was designed to do.
	So when I just, you know, I checked everything.
	I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
	Then I took a dollar bill and tried to run it down to the receiver and it wouldn't go because part of the stock was touching.
	And so I had to re-float the barrel.
	And once you do that, after everything is settled in, then with a synthetic stock, it will never get out of whack again.
	Because it never changes.
	Nothing ever changes in that stock.
	It doesn't swell up with humidity.
	It doesn't shrink when it dries out.
	It doesn't warp because one side is hotter than the other.
	Or whatever.
	So the accuracy can be maintained at that point.
	Now there's something else that you want to do.
	You want to have that barrel cryogenically stress relieved.
	And this is something we never talked about on the previous shows because we didn't know about it then.
	And we do now.
	There is a process where you take the barrel and the action, and actually you should do this before you bed your action, fiberglass bed your action in the stock.
	You should send the barrel and the action together as a unit to a stress relief cryogenic lab, and what they do is they very slowly Take the temperature of that barrel in action down to minus 310 degrees and then they very slowly over a period of many, many hours let it come back up to zero and they heat it up to I think 210 degrees very slowly and then very, very slowly cool it off back down to normal temperatures.
	And when they do that, actually I think they cool it back down to zero and then they let it come back to normal temperature.
	When they do that, all the stress in the barrel from the forging and the drilling and the rifling and all of the machining and all of that stuff is taken out.
	It just disappears.
	And so you don't have any of that stress working upon your round as it goes down through that barrel and downrange to the target.
	And I've got to tell you that all of these different things are significant.
	Extremely significant.
	Then you glass bed your action in your stock and make sure that the barrel is floated.
	No part of the stock touches the barrel in front of the receiver, or the barrel at all.
	Everything in front of the receiver is the barrel.
	Or in front of the action, I should say.
	And you want to do a trigger job.
	You want to get the trigger down to less than four pounds.
	And it's got to be crisp.
	Very little, if any, play at all.
	Take all of the play out of the trigger that you possibly can.
	And get it down to less than four pounds pull.
	About three and a half is just about perfect for me.
	That's what mine is set at.
	But remember that the less trigger pull it takes to fire that weapon, the more dangerous it becomes and the greater the chance of you firing that weapon when you don't want to fire it.
	So make sure you understand that.
	For instance, I would never, I wouldn't even want to be around anybody that had a two-pound
	trigger pull on a rifle.
	I just wouldn't even want to be around them.
	I think that's extremely dangerous.
	It takes so little effort to pull that trigger that you could do it without even realizing
	it.
	Remember, when you fire a rifle, if you're breathing right, if you've got your sight
	picture right, if you're in position correctly, and if you're squeezing that trigger properly,
	when the weapon fires, it should be a complete surprise to you.
	If you know exactly when it's going to fire, that means you pulled that trigger and you You did not do it properly.
	You did not squeeze it.
	And if you pull the trigger, the bullet is not going to go exactly where you aimed.
	So those are important factors.
	You're going to need a bipod.
	Uh, folks, you're going to need a bipod on your rifle.
	And I've got to tell you this, that the downward thrust on that bipod, because of the compensator
	ported at the top with the muzzle blast that you're going to get from the round that you're
	going to fire through this weapon is going to be such that you've got to actually glass
	the bolt into the fore end of the stock to which the bipod is going to be attached.
	And that's your normal sling loop attachment.
	And you just take the sling loop off and you've got the attachment there.
	You fix your bipod to it and then you put the sling loop back under your bipod.
	But if you fire two or three rounds from this weapon on a bipod, you'll find that your bipod
	is being driven into the ground.
	And I'm not exaggerating at all.
	It really will drive your bipod legs into the ground with each shot that you fire.
	And this rifle, even with the compensator, even with the Packmeyer decelerator and the thumbhole stock, It's going to push you backwards a good eight inches every time you fire.
	Believe me.
	And maybe a little more than that.
	So, you've got to be aware of all of these things.
	Now, because this is a long range rifle, you can't use open sights, ladies and gentlemen.
	It's impossible.
	Forget it.
	Don't even try it.
	You're going to need a good scope.
	And by good scope, if you're going to use this rifle for what it is intended to be used for, you need a scope that you can see your target Anywhere from 500 yards to 1 mile.
	1 mile is a little over 1,700 yards.
	So what I have on mine is a Tasco world class scope and it goes all the way up to 36 power
	and it has the parallax adjustment at the objective lens of the scope.
	Now if you're going to buy a variable power scope, you must have a parallax adjustment
	at the objective lens of the scope, which is the lens away from, well let me put it
	this way, the two ends of the scope.
	One is the end that you look through and the other is called the objective lens.
	So that should clear it up quick.
	Without that parallax adjustment, whenever you change range or you change magnification
	on the scope, you're going to throw the whole side of the rifle off.
	You're not going to be zeroed like you think you are.
	And the way you can tell if you need parallax adjustment is look through your rifle scope At your target, line up the crosshairs and then move your eye just slightly to the right or to the left.
	If you move your eye slightly to the right or to the left and it changes the position of the crosshairs on your target, then you need a parallax adjustment on your scope.
	And it's adjusted for range.
	So anytime you have a variable magnification or variable power scope, always put it on the highest power And make sure your parallax adjustment on the objective lens is adjusted to the proper range where you're going to sight in the scope.
	For instance, if you're going to sight in at 300 yards, make sure the parallax adjustment is set at 300 yards on the objective lens and make sure that you have the power of your scope set at the highest power.
	Then you zero your rifle in that manner.
	And once you have done that, whenever you change your variable power to any other power
	that you can.
	For instance, you may have a lens that you can adjust from, say, 9 power to 32 power.
	Okay?
	So, at any of those powers, say you sight it in at 32, at 300 yards, you have the objective parallax correction set at 300 yards.
	That means once you have your rifle zeroed, you can turn that down to 20 power, and it will still be zeroed at that 300 yards.
	So, or to 9 power, or to 27 power, or to 15 power, you know, it will still be, and it will still maintain, it's zero.
	Now if you change yards, if you change the range, say you sighted in at 300 yards, And now you're going to be shooting at 500 yards and you're going to be taking into consideration the ballistics of your bullet and doing a little Kentucky windage to hit your target at 500 yards because remember you're zeroed at 300.
	Make sure that your parallax adjustment on the objective lens is set at 500 yards, or at the closest setting that you can get it.
	For instance, on mine, anything over 300 yards is set on infinity, and that takes care of it.
	And one good thing about the Tesco world-class scopes is that they're guaranteed.
	They're guaranteed with no... How can I say this?
	They're unconditionally guaranteed.
	That's the proper way to say it.
	They are unconditionally guaranteed.
	If I go out and chop my scope in half with an axe and take it in, they'll replace it with no questions asked.
	If the recoil on this rifle destroys my scope, they will replace it, no questions asked.
	Period.
	It's an unconditional guarantee.
	Which I think is just fantastic.
	I'm never going to go out and chop my scope in half with an axe.
	They know that when you pay this kind of money for a good scope, you're not going to mistreat it.
	But if anything happens to that scope, no matter what it is, they will replace it with no questions asked.
	And that's exactly... I like that.
	I love it.
	My scope is accurate.
	It is good.
	I can see my target at a mile with my scope.
	I can consistently shoot at a thousand yards.
	And folks, my rifle shoots six inch groups at a thousand yards.
	And that is extremely, extremely difficult to obtain with any rifle.
	I don't care who builds it or how it's built.
	That's an extremely difficult feat to accomplish.
	But it can be done and you can even do better than that with much specialization and you know there are people who do nothing but shoot long range for competition who I know have done much better than that but for our use this rifle is tops and after we take the top of the hour break here I'm going to tell you about the bullets, the rounds, the reloading, all that kind of stuff.
	So you can take notes.
	If any of you want to build this rifle, that's fine.
	But you don't have to build this rifle.
	What I'm doing is giving you a blueprint for success that we know works.
	You can experiment with other actions.
	You can experiment with shorter or longer barrels.
	You can experiment with different kinds of stocks, but let me tell you something, when you're working with powerful, powerful rounds, powerful bullets, Um, you better be very, very careful and you better make sure that you've got a long, um, uh, time proven action.
	And the only one that I know of that will withstand the tremendous punishment of what we're doing with this rifle is a large ring Mauser action.
	Don't play with anything else because, um, if that action doesn't hold that charge, And you could end up in the hospital with a bolt through
	your head.
	You think about that real carefully before you go out and start playing around with some
	other action because you don't want to fork out the money to buy a large ring Mauser action
	or you don't want to take the time to look for one.
	If you can't take the time to look for one and find one, if you can't fork out the money
	that you need to get a large ring Mauser forged steel action and forged bolt, then don't play
	with these calibers and these configurations with these powder charges that
	that I'm telling you about tonight because it's the utmost foolishness.
	In fact, it's absolutely insane to do that.
	These are combinations that, when properly put together, are extremely effective and accurate and lethal for a long, long distance.
	Like I said, all the way up to one mile.
	If you try to take shortcuts with some of these things that I've told you about, then
	you're playing with safety and you're playing with your life.
	And if you do that, I just hope you don't.
	I don't want anything to happen to anyone.
	Okay?
	So, don't go away.
	We'll come right back after network identification.
	Okay. We'll come back in just a moment.
	Okay.
	It's got a really cool theme.
	We now return you to the Hour of the Time.
	It's a good way to say goodbye.
	I'm going to get you!
	We love you we miss you we love Come back soon we miss you Welcome back to the Hour of the Gun.
	We're going to be talking this, at the beginning of this hour, about the bullets, the powder,
	the casing, the primers, the charge, and the care that's needed in reloading in order to
	be able to maintain accuracy.
	I'm not going to get into all of the aspects of reloading.
	This is not a beginner's class in reloading, ladies and gentlemen.
	I'm just going to tell you what you need to make your Wildcat rounds for this long-range rifle.
	Here's what you need.
	You start with a regular 375 H&H Magnum round.
	And it doesn't matter what bullet you've got in it.
	It doesn't matter.
	Who makes it except you want to, to get the rounds made by a manufacturer who is known to have excellent, good cases.
	Now these are belted magnums, ladies and gentlemen, and they're some of the strongest, best cases that there are in the world, but there are still some manufacturers who are known For the quality and the sturdiness and the long lasting cases that they make that can be reloaded for many times over.
	And what I use are Remington .375 H&H Magnum rounds.
	The bullet doesn't matter because you're going to take and you're going to fire these rounds in your new rifle.
	And when you fire these regular .375 H&H Magnum rounds, They will automatically be reformed, I'm talking about the cases, will be reformed to conform to the shape of the chamber that you had drilled for the Wildcat.
	And so when you eject that case from the chamber, after firing it, it will have been what we call fire-formed to the exact new shape That it needs to be for the 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat Ram.
	So you take these cases in, you deprime them, you take the spent primer out, and of course you tumble them in a tumbler to clean them up and get all the residual powder out of the inside of the case.
	You should take a primer brush and clean the primer, the recess hole where the primer goes really, really good.
	You should have a case neck brush to clean the casing, the neck of the casing really well.
	And make sure that that case is in the best shape that it possibly can be in.
	And then you want to lube your cases.
	And you want to full size them.
	Now you're going to have to get sizing dies for the 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat round.
	And you can do that.
	Call all the people who make the dies and get the 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat dies.
	From the dye manufacturer that you like to deal with.
	I'm not sure that they all make it.
	I'm not going to tell you where I get mine.
	You guys got to do a little bit of work.
	You'll have to call around a little bit.
	Find who makes them and order your dyes.
	Don't just neck size.
	Size the whole case.
	And the reason you want to do that is to make absolutely sure that all of your cases and all of your finished rounds are exactly the same.
	You need to, after that, you need to check the length of the case and you may want to,
	you need to trim, let me back up here a little bit, you need to trim all of your cases so
	that they are exactly the same length.
	And do it so that when you deburr the neck, folks, after you trim a case, you have to deburr the neck.
	So that when you do that, they are all exactly the same size and the maximum allowable length for that particular case.
	Make sure that they are all exactly the same length right down to the very tiniest fraction of a millimeter.
	Now, for long range shooting, And for a long barrel, you need a slow-burning powder.
	In fact, for any large Magnum round, you need a slow-burning powder.
	The powder that I use is IMR 4350.
	Now, all of these powders that may be designated the same are not necessarily the same.
	For instance, I use IMR 4350.
	If I put the same number of grains of powder into a round from H4350 made by made by Hodgdon As I do IMR 4350, I get hurt.
	And you will too.
	So, don't do those kinds of things.
	I use IMR 4350.
	I use 90 grains of powder.
	Now, make sure that you use a good, large magnum rifle primer.
	The best that I know of are Winchester large magnum rifle primers for this particular load and this particular rifle.
	They may not be so good on something else that you've been using, but for this load we found that the Winchester large magnum rifle primers are the best.
	So prime your cartridges.
	Make sure that the primers are seated well and that they're all even and feel the bottom.
	so that so that you know that they are and when you load the powder into the shells make sure start lower than what I'm giving you and work up so that so that you'll know what you're doing and but anyway I use 90 grains of IMR 4350 and when I see the bullet in this round I'm actually compressing the powder because I'm using a 300 grain Hornaday Spitzer Boattail Bullet.
	Now I understand that Spear makes a 250 grain Spitzer Boattail Bullet and I'm going to buy some of those and load some rounds and try it because I think I'll get a better stability, I think I'll get a better accuracy downrange, and I think I'll get more out of my powder without having to compress it if I use a 250 grain Spitzer Boattail Bullet.
	Believe me folks, listen to me very carefully.
	You need a spitzer boat tail bullet for the best accuracy.
	You can use a flat base bullet if you want to.
	You can use a round nose bullet if you want to.
	But just remember this.
	For long range accuracy, there is no bullet that will perform like a spitzer boat tail.
	Period.
	Bar none.
	You get the best stability of the bullet.
	You get the best aerodynamic form.
	You get the best accuracy.
	And we found that the Hornady 270 grain and 300 grain bullets do the best.
	Unfortunately, the 270 grains are flat tail.
	The 300 grains are spitzer boat tail.
	They have the best accuracy, the highest coefficient A ballistic coefficient of energy and the biggest wallop downrange that you would ever believe.
	For instance, if I fire my rifle at a target at 1000 yards, when it hits that target, it is the same energy as if you were hit by a .44 Magnum at the muzzle.
	So, understand that we're talking real powerful stuff here.
	And remember that we have not tried the 250 grain spitzer boat tail bullets yet but we are going to do that and after I've done that I'll let you know How that works out.
	Right now I'm using a 300 grain Hornaday Spitzer boat tail bullet and when I'm seeding it I am not crimping the case on the bullet.
	Folks, listen to me.
	When I seat that bullet, it's compressing the powder and I am not crimping the case
	onto the bullet because the bullet is riding higher, actually, than it really should.
	And you have to measure, once you've done this, you have to measure the total length
	of the round with the bullet seated.
	And each round has to be exactly the same length and no more.
	And that's so that you get the consistent performance from each round.
	If you want to, you can try crimping the case on the bullets.
	I found that this is detrimental to accuracy and I don't do it.
	If you want to do it, you can.
	By the way, folks, if you are doing this properly and you're not belling your cases, you don't
	have to worry about crimping the bullets because I've tried, after I've seeded the bullets
	in my rounds, I've tried to pull those bullets out of the case and they're not coming out.
	So, for those of you who may be shaking your heads, thinking that I'm crazy, this whole rifle is something new.
	It's everything that we've done is different than anybody else has ever done before it works for us We have been I've been personally have been firing this rifle For over two years In fact, longer than that.
	Probably about three years.
	I just get better with it.
	My reloading gets better.
	My accuracy gets better.
	I love this rifle.
	I wouldn't trade it for anything.
	It's the only one like it in the whole world.
	My particular rifle is made with a 31 inch barrel with a compensator.
	It's 33 inches overall.
	That's just the barrel.
	It's not even including the rest of the rifle.
	It's a gem.
	One man can carry the rifle, his camping gear and pack and ammunition and everything.
	It's not a crew served weapon.
	It weighs approximately 14 pounds and it's no big deal.
	So, that's it.
	What I'm going to do is go over here and play a little song and come back.
	We'll open the phones and if you want to talk about this.
	That's fine.
	Remember, if I don't get calls when I open the phones, I'm going to bed.
	You thought I was below you.
	You thought I was full of it until you found out on Friday night when I say something, I mean it.
	Be right back.
	We'll open the phone and we'll talk about this.
	Thank you.
	I said, give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum 44's.
	Oh, there's a man that the law let loose and just wasn't our son.
	This man killed my wife and my only little son.
	I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial.
	He had his nickname, Lawyer, and he had that smirky smile.
	Yeah, he got you all on a technicality.
	But you have to grow wings and fly, just a step away from me.
	Ah, I like that.
	Good evening!
	You're on the air.
	Hi, this is Ben from Indiana.
	Hello, Ben.
	Yeah, um, I was listening to you talk about your, uh, rifle there.
	Mm-hmm.
	Um, what 375 Wildcat is that, just out of curiosity?
	Is that Ackley Improved, or, uh... Pardon?
	Uh, what 375 Wildcat is that?
	I was just curious.
	Is that, uh, Ackley Improved, or... Yes.
	Oh, okay.
	Because, um, you're trying not to laugh at me here.
	I'm only 17, so... That's okay.
	Yeah, but I always want to build something along that line, but I want to use a 404 Jeffries.
	You can use whatever you want.
	Just be very careful if you're doing something that nobody else has done before, that you test everything that you do and you start out with the lowest power and work up until you get some kind of a signal that you're getting into the high pressures where you shouldn't be, and then you back off a little.
	Oh, I know.
	I've been reloading since I was 13.
	Because, uh, I started out with my first pistol.
	I got a P38 Walther.
	And I started reloading 9mms, you know.
	I mean, it gets expensive, you know.
	10 bucks a box, you know.
	So I started reloading that, now I got about 50 rifles, or 50 weapons.
	Uh huh.
	Rifles, pistols, but uh... You think that is expensive?
	Why don't you start reloading .375 H&H Magnum Wildcats?
	That's gotta be about 30 bucks a box just for .375s, ain't it?
	Well, you gotta buy the .375 H&H Magnums, and then you gotta shoot those, and uh... Form them?
	To fire form them, yes.
	But you know, when you're shooting though, you shouldn't just go out and crank them through and shoot them.
	You should be practicing your sight picture, you should be practicing your breathing, your trigger squeeze, all of it.
	You know, you can really make use of that.
	And you should be target practicing, you know, at 100 yards, the ballistics between the .375 H&H Magnum and the .375 H&H Magnum Wildcat.
	Isn't that much difference?
	Right.
	Well what I did to be a bit more is I went out and bought some cheap surplus rifles.
	I bought a P17 Enfield and I bought one of those new 308 Enfields.
	Now that would make a nice sniper rifle for somebody on a budget you know.
	Yeah well we don't do sniping we do hunting.
	Right hunting.
	Excuse me long range hunting rifles.
	Yes.
	Because I've been taking that up to 200 yards and just with the poor military sights on
	that I can consistently hit like a pop can at 225 yards.
	But see I wouldn't have really any use for something very long range around here because
	I live in the great state of Indiana up north by Chicago.
	Well, there's always a time that you might be able to go hunting somewhere.
	The big advantage is being able to get way out there.
	You know, it's a tremendous challenge.
	It's like being the best at basketball or the best at football or the best race car driver that there is.
	How many people do you know that consistently shoot six-inch groups at a thousand yards or hit their target at a mile?
	Not too many.
	Have you tried any long-range handgunning?
	No.
	Handgunning has never been my thing.
	I'm not really bad at handgunning. I'm not really good either.
	What I was playing with was a Ruger Vekaro .45 Colt and I was hitting a coffee can at
	200 yards with that with a 255 grain lead flat point. You hear it go bang, you count
	to three and then you see the bullet crunch off in the sand.
	Well it's going to be fun because I'm just getting into what they call cowboy action
	shooting. And I've got an old 18 something or other 1865 Winchester double barrel hammer
	shotgun side by side and it's an old coach gun.
	The barrels are only 19 inches long.
	It's great.
	I mean, it's, it is fantastic.
	I've got an 1873, uh, Winchester 4440, and I just, uh, bought a, uh, a, uh, um, an original first generation, uh, Colt, uh, in 4440 with a seven and a half inch barrel, single action army.
	You're all set?
	I'm all set, and I've never fired, you know, an old Colt like that, but I'm gonna, and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
	Yeah, what I did for a project, I was on vacation in South Dakota, and I found a Winchester 97.
	Uh-huh.
	Slide action shotgun.
	I had always wanted one of them, and it was all rusted over and everything, so I took it home for a hundred bucks and cleaned it all up, and I shoot that thing all the time now.
	It's a lot of fun, isn't it?
	Yeah, I'm looking for the trench one.
	Yeah.
	I went to the gun show in Henderson.
	I saw, there must have been about four of them there.
	And, you know, I didn't look in the bore or anything, but the outside of them looked really good.
	They looked in real good shape.
	And I know it's hard to find those old World War I trench 12-gauges in good shape, but these were.
	I didn't have them for a fake one, because I'll be honest with you, that's the finest Repeating shotgun all the time, as far as I'm concerned.
	Well, I don't know whether it's the finest or not, and I'm not really a shotgun man either, so... But, uh... I do know it's a good one.
	Yeah.
	Um... Oh, yeah.
	You, uh, had the Winchester lever action in .44 Magnum, and you're complaining about how it rattles?
	Yeah.
	You know how you can tighten that up?
	How?
	Take, uh... Okay, you know the block that... I've had gunsmiths tell me you can't tighten it up.
	Oh, you can.
	But the thing is, is you're going to tighten up the whole action.
	It's going to be, the lever's going to be stiffer to move and everything.
	When you go to cycle it, what you've got to do is, you know, the block underneath the action that pivots?
	Yeah.
	Where the lever comes out of?
	You take that off, and then you take off the lever out of there.
	You pop out that pin, and that starts to fit in there pretty good, so you're really going to have to, you know, give it a good whack.
	But it'll come out, and you silver solder some steel shims on there, on the sides, so it's oversized.
	And then you sit there and you file it until you get it to about the fit that you want.
	You do the lock fit.
	If it's underneath the receiver and then you do the lever where it travels through that
	lock and that should take care of all the rattling except for the firing pin because
	that floats freely and then the saddle ring you just unscrew.
	But you're going to stiffen up the action so it's going to be real tight when you go
	to swing the lever.
	I don't care about that.
	about that.
	But I care, I just don't, you know I like good craftsmanship.
	I know, I hate that when it rattles.
	Yeah, it's just not good craftsmanship.
	It's very, very poor.
	And that's why nobody likes Winchesters after 1964.
	I know.
	Because they just, their workmanship and craftsmanship just went down the tubes.
	The only reason I bought this is because I got it real inexpensive.
	Otherwise, I wouldn't even have bought it.
	But I think I'm fixing to trade it.
	Have you ever done any hand loads for a .44 Magnum out of that?
	Out of the rifle?
	No.
	If you ever do, see if you can get a 300 grain half-lead flat point and try that through their mine.
	It's dead on accurate with that.
	Okay.
	With 17.7 grains, accurate number 9.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	But try to stay away from Remington brass because I've had a bunch of case separations with that.
	After about 2-3 loads, it'll separate.
	And with just .44?
	With 44.
	Yeah, it's funny how brass from one company will really be great with some rounds and with others they won't be.
	I do a lot of hot 45 colt brass on there.
	Federals are real sturdy, but none of the other brands are.
	Weird.
	Okay, well let's let somebody else get in here.
	Okay, thanks a lot.
	I appreciate talking to you.
	You're welcome.
	Bye.
	Thanks for calling.
	5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8 is the number.
	Tonight we're talking about the long-range rifle, or any kind of rifle, or pistols, or whatever you want to talk about.
	Just remember when you talk about pistols, you're going to be the expert, not me.
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Yeah, you were talking about you had a 6-inch grouping.
	Yes.
	At about 1,000 yards.
	One thing that might help you bring that group into, you know, Have you ever seen those tie-down benches that they use for farming and hunting?
	Tie-down benches?
	Yeah, they're little benches you can put your rifle down on and you can tighten the front part of your rifle.
	You can't do that with this rifle.
	Oh, it's way too big, huh?
	Not only is it too big, but the recoil is way too strong to be doing anything like that.
	You'll ruin something if you do.
	Something's going to get ruined if you try that with this rifle.
	Yeah.
	Well, what I was going to say is whenever you fire a round down a barrel, it vibrates.
	Yeah and just like that's why you have to free float it and that's why you have to stress relieve it.
	Yeah and uh sometimes by adding a little bit of weight to the barrel or taking a little bit of weight off you can tighten the grooves up by going either way and it might be something that you might be able to be able to find uh little weights to put on the the barrel to where you can clamp them down tight and then try shooting at the target and see if it doesn't increase the uh Well, that's something to think about.
	I've never thought about that and never tried it.
	Yeah, I remember reading out of one gun magazine.
	I know one thing that you don't want to clamp anything on this barrel.
	That's a no-no.
	Oh, it'd probably blow it off.
	But what I got on mine, I got a 7mm Remington mag.
	And I went to the farm supply store.
	And they've got some round metal clamps that have a hex screw in it.
	Uh huh.
	And I just put one of those on the end of the barrel and started shooting.
	Yeah.
	And then I'd move it up and down the barrel until I got the best screw.
	Well that's interesting.
	I'm going to try some different ways to test that out.
	Yeah.
	Might be worthy while.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	520-333-4578 is the number.
	Tonight we're talking about rifles, pistols, long-range rifle, reloading, all of that kind of stuff.
	If you're into that, give me a call.
	Numbers 520-333-4578.
	Number 6.520-333-4578.
	The band Coalition. The band Coalition.
	I ain't a politician, but I've got news.
	Some folks want a band card.
	Some want to get rid of spending gift cards.
	Why don't you do your thing and we'll do our thing too.
	Now they want to take my cigarettes and all my good whiskey.
	And these damn coalitions, they are after you and me.
	They want to get rid of my 44s and all the R-rated films.
	If they only knew how much we'd all love to get fed of them.
	This is the coalition.
	Ditto on that.
	I've got some folks wanna ban cars, some wanna get rid of electric guitars.
	Why can't everybody else leave everybody else alone?
	Now the latest thing they wanna step out and find is...
	Get on that.
	Why doesn't everybody leave everybody else alone?
	Well, there's something coming up here, folks.
	I don't know exactly when it's going to happen, but I do know it's going to happen.
	Everything's going to come tumbling down and nobody's going to leave anybody alone at all.
	In fact, your own family might turn against you.
	One of the things that you need to have is some real money.
	It might save your life.
	It'll make sure that you can stay fed and clothed and everything.
	That a lot of people are going to find themselves without.
	And, you know, I might even buy you a cup of coffee somewhere.
	1-800-289-2646.
	There's the number.
	1-800-BUY-COIN.
	And I hope that you do it right now.
	Call.
	Ask them for the new newsletter.
	Ask them for Craig's new paper that he wrote.
	Thank them for sponsoring the Hour of the Time and for backing, fully, the Voice of Freedom.
	World Wide Freedom Radio Network.
	It's 1-800-BUY-COIN.
	Call now.
	You know how you are.
	There's homeless on the streets of every city.
	There's homeless on the streets of every city.
	Big city crime in every little town.
	There's people makin' money off the people.
	And taxes draggin' everybody down.
	There's politicians kind of stretching the truth.
	And farmers are getting pulled up by the roost.
	And workers telling little kids kind of the only way.
	Welcome to the U.S.A.
	the U.S.A.
	today.
	Yeah.
	We got our top...
	You're on the air.
	Hello.
	Are you there?
	I'm here.
	Okay.
	Here I am.
	Greetings from the hometown of spear bullets.
	The hometown of spear bullets?
	Oh, spear bullets.
	Yes.
	Where's that at, by the way?
	Lewiston, Idaho.
	Lewiston, Idaho.
	Okay.
	Welcome to the Hour of the Times.
	Thank you, Bill.
	I was just doing some antenna maintenance tonight.
	Trying to get up about maybe another 10 or 15 feet.
	So more people can hear the transmitter.
	The question I had for you was about a year, year and a half ago, you had mentioned something in a larger caliber rifle, something I believe over 400.
	That was very, very good.
	It had accuracy out to about a half a mile.
	It was when you were telling your Sergeant York type experiences.
	What was that?
	Well, I don't remember.
	You said over 400?
	Yeah, I think it was over 400.
	It was something based on perhaps chlorofluorhexane.
	I'm not sure.
	You know who I think that was?
	I think that was my guest, John, who was the man who really invented the long-range rifle that I'm talking about tonight.
	His is a different configuration than mine.
	Mine is sort of an advancement on his, but he's a gunsmith.
	He's probably one of the best gunsmiths I've ever known in my life.
	If not the best, and I think that you're referring to him, and I really don't remember what it was that he was referring to.
	Okay, I'll have to go through the tapes.
	I've got tapes of you, like I said, I've been, oh goodness, I've been doing your, re-broadcasting your show for about the last two or three years now, in various different locations.
	Also, what the other gentleman said about Barron Lake, I know you're not a hand gunner, Well, I've seen those used on handguns, especially the medalists.
	Yeah, the high standards use them on their .22 match weapons.
	Well, I've got one.
	Yeah, I've seen that.
	I know they do that on pistols.
	But I was under the impression that that was more for balance than for barrel accuracy.
	It's for both, actually.
	It's used kind of as a compensator because you don't have that much recoil You know one of the things I wanted to mention before and I forgot my rifle with the bipod on it and everything just exactly like it's supposed to be with the scope mounted everything
	Oh, yeah, there's a couple of things I forgot.
	When you put your hand in your normal position where you rest the rifle on the forestock, that rifle is perfectly balanced.
	It's the most incredible thing because we didn't plan it to happen that way.
	It just did.
	Well, anytime that you have firearms, they're basically just cradled in your hand.
	You don't have to flex with it.
	You don't have to jiggle it around.
	I'm going to let you go.
	you know, wrong arm, doesn't matter what it is. If it's balanced right, you'll find you
	don't have to, you know, jewel yourself around with it. It just lays there, it actually becomes
	a part of you. And that's when you get your best accuracy in whatever you're shooting.
	So, I'm going to let you go. I'll have my letter to you to re-broadcast the rest of
	the network. I'll send it later this week.
	bunch of people on this network.
	It's just all coming together really nice.
	Well, I'm certainly glad to hear it, and any word on when you're moving to the new bird?
	No, I haven't heard a word, but when I do I'll be sure and let everybody know.
	Okay, I've heard it got launched, but I haven't followed up on it.
	Okay.
	Alright, good hunting Bill.
	Thank you.
	Also folks, I wanted to tell you that when you mount the scope, you have to actually, I was going to say shim the scope mount, but that's not true.
	What we're really doing is lowering the front mount just a hair, so that you can use the scope at long range.
	With the recoil in this rifle, you have to put some traction Something in the in the scope mounts to hold the scope because no matter how hard you tighten those rings
	When you fire this weapon without something to hold that scope in those rings, it doesn't matter how tight you cinch down those rings, that scope will move.
	And I forget what it is that we were using.
	It's something that ensures that there is a good friction bond between the rings and the scope and it won't move at all.
	But anyway, maybe somebody that calls will know what that is.
	Yes.
	Yes, good evening.
	Mark of Nevada calling.
	Hello, Mark.
	I just got my dish up in here coming in loud and clear.
	Good.
	So, I had all my equipment sitting in the garage for many, many years.
	Boy, we're getting a lot of dish orders and a lot of people want to become affiliates of this network and rebroadcast it.
	I think we're going to be a great success.
	Well, I think that's going to happen real shortly.
	I got this equipment up and rocking and rolling.
	I actually need to get back with you to find out how I can go ahead and get myself set up with that FM transmitter to get the word out.
	Great.
	The reason why I'm calling is I'm working on a new program regarding the 375.
	How can I apply some of this to my 03A3?
	30-06 and 375 can see.
	30-06 is a good proven round over the years.
	Sorry?
	Pardon?
	I didn't hear that.
	I said the 30-06 is a proven round.
	I mean it's been used for a lot of years.
	The military has used it It's a good proven round.
	Now, I don't know if there's a Wildcat version of the .30-06, but I do know that you can experiment with different powders and different powder loads and increase the velocity and the effective range of that rifle.
	But everything that we've applied to the .375 H&H Magnum Wildcat can be applied to any other rifle.
	In various degrees of application, depending upon what you want to do.
	But you've got to understand, you're never going to get the accuracy at the range that we're talking about with this .375 H&H Magnum Wildcat with a .30-06.
	Whereas you can get the .30-06 out to an extremely accurate weapon out to 500, maybe 600 yards.
	You really can't hope for too much more than that.
	Okay, I'm happy to help.
	I continue to help float the barrel to the early wood stock.
	It's borderized.
	Yeah.
	And came across it, she fires very well.
	Now, I'll tell you, if you want something, you're talking about a rifle that you already have.
	That's correct.
	Well, five or six hundred yards is a good, I mean, that's a good range to be accurate at.
	It is.
	Well, for most people it is.
	Most people are lucky if they can be accurate at 300 yards.
	Right.
	I know some that have been trying for years and can barely hit the target at 100, but that's neither here nor there.
	You know, they're good at a lot of things that I'm not, but... Okay, now, floating the wood stock on the SO-383, I guess that's just as important.
	Oh yes, it's always important.
	It's just like the previous caller was saying.
	As that bullet goes down through the barrel, it causes a vibration in the barrel.
	That barrel must be allowed to vibrate freely.
	And if it's stress relieved, you're going to get an extremely accurate bullet flying out the end of that barrel if there's nothing touching the barrel.
	If there's something touching the barrel anywhere along the entire length of the barrel, I don't care what it is, You know these clamp bipods that you can get?
	Right.
	Clamp on a barrel?
	Oh no!
	Well, mine isn't a clamp on the barrel, it's on the stock.
	Yeah.
	But now I'm going to start fine-tuning that stock or just go ahead and replace it with a piece of synthetic.
	Yeah, anything that touches the barrel will interfere with the natural vibration of that barrel and will throw the bullet's accuracy off.
	Well, I learned something very important today and I'm going to go ahead and try a few things out.
	I appreciate you bringing this on the program.
	And I'll be further listening to the program as far as getting these FM transmitters because I'd like to make another move forward.
	Great.
	Thank you so much.
	Have a good evening.
	You're welcome.
	And thank you for calling.
	One of the most accurate flat trajectory rounds that you can get today, chambered popularly and by all firearms companies and their rifles, is a .308.
	So if you're looking for something to work with that's a little less expensive and requires a little less work, you might try going to .308.
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Hi Bill, this is Richard at Tascadero.
	Hi Richard.
	California.
	I know nothing, okay, but I heard you mention earlier about oiling your cases when you're, I guess when you're forming them or something?
	Well, when you size the case and the die, you have to lubricate the case or it'll get stuck in that die and you can't get it out.
	What I've heard said, and I think anybody that reloads probably knows this and it's probably all old hat, What my understanding is, it's extremely important not to have any oil in the casing or anything like that would come in contact with the powder because is it true or not true that oil will severely impair or destroy the powder?
	Well, I don't know about that, but what we're talking about is what's called case lube, and you don't apply it inside the shell.
	You don't put any case lube in the shell.
	You just apply it to the outside of the shell, and you only use it during the sizing... Yeah, I understand.
	The sizing evolution of your reloading steps.
	Wouldn't it be important to clean that stuff off, or is it really non-oil?
	Is it some special...
	Well of course it's important to clean it off.
	You don't leave the case lube on the case after you've resized the case.
	But like I said before during the earlier part of the broadcast this was not a basic
	broadcast in reloading but merely the steps that somebody who already knows.
	For instance I would not, you know somebody sitting out there they've never done reloading
	before they're not going to listen to this broadcast and go do anything.
	Or at least they shouldn't.
	They should go and learn how to do reloading first.
	And so this was mainly directed at people who understand reloading because to build
	this weapon and fire it and use it you have to reload your own rounds.
	You cannot go out and buy these rounds anywhere.
	Not a high performance tool.
	Not a Saturday night special for sure.
	That's right.
	And the other thing that I heard mentioned on other shooting programs is and I just want
	you to get your opinion about it.
	Maybe it's kind of a old wives tale or maybe it's kind of being overly cautious.
	But I've heard that even placing your ammunition, say you have a defense weapon in your home or whatever, that you keep loaded and store wherever you store it.
	It's a good idea not to have much, if any, oil even in the magazine because the oil could penetrate around the bullet or around the primer.
	Well, I've got to tell you that that's total baloney.
	Any reloader who is reloading in a manner that an oil is going to seep into his round around the primer down between the bullet and the casing didn't do a very good job.
	And I seal all my primers, and I seal the gap between the bullet and the casing with primer sealant.
	That special dope type?
	Yeah, it's sort of like fingernail polish, really.
	Yeah, I've heard that fingernail polish actually works pretty good, but I would think it would be best to use a special product designed for that, wouldn't you?
	Well, that's what we use, yeah.
	I was just telling you that it's like fingernail polish, so you have something to fix in your mind so that you know what I'm talking about.
	I understand.
	Okay, well I'll let you go.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	520-333-4570.
	Well, you should never have a whole bunch of oil in your magazine to begin with, but you've got to have a thin coating of lubrication on all metal parts, especially parts that you don't routinely disassemble and clean on a regular basis like magazines.
	I know very few people Other than me and a couple of other guys that ever disassembled their magazines and cleaned them properly.
	And if you don't have a thin coat of oil on all those metal parts, then eventually you've just got just a pile of dust.
	But you can't have too much.
	You can't have oil, in fact you shouldn't have oil on anything that anybody can look at and recognize as oil.
	If you do, you've got too much and it serves as a magnet for dirt and dust.
	And then your weapon gets all gummed up.
	In fact, a properly cleaned and lubricated weapon will not show what normal people would call oil at all.
	In fact, it will look like it's clean and dry, when in fact it's really not.
	It has a very thin coating of lubrication on all of the parts in the whole weapon.
	Good evening.
	You're on the air.
	Hi, Bill.
	Okay.
	We're going to get your show here in about 20 minutes on delayed broadcast from KVNO.
	Oh, good.
	Are they airing the full two hours or just one?
	We're just getting one so far.
	One, okay.
	Maybe we can squeeze another one out of there.
	Well, you know, if you will all support Richard Palmquist and make sure that you send in some donations every once in a while.
	Yeah, we do.
	Because he has to fight these little ladies that are the biggest support monetarily for his station.
	I started sending money in to support the DF work.
	Yeah, they don't like for me to say bullshit at all, but I do it just because of the hypocrisy and the ridiculousness that people who claim that they understand and love freedom don't understand the freedom of speech.
	That's right, I agree.
	Earlier today on Jeff Baker, he went into a tirade because I got a chance to talk to him for a minute and I said, you
	know, the reason I like to listen to you and especially Bill Cooper is you guys are
	passionate.
	You say exactly what you mean and you make people think.
	And that's what's great.
	It's always good to hear someone that really cares and is really sincere and not just a
	talk show host like most of these people.
	Yeah, or a side show.
	Hey, I've got to buy a satellite so I can get a photo of your show and hear it during real time.
	Well, you know, if this network goes really good and somebody comes up that would be really good in prime time and there isn't any prime time left, I'll give up an hour just so that we can have another voice on this network.
	Yeah, I'm looking forward to the network.
	I think it's going to be a great idea.
	It's going to give us the kind of quality broadcast that we really need.
	What is Richard doing on Friday nights when I'm actually doing the only one hour and it's the second hour?
	This last Friday I only heard one hour.
	The one hour I heard this last Friday was mostly you taking phone calls I believe.
	Really?
	I think that's what we heard this last Friday if I remember right.
	Maybe it was a half hour of talk and then a half hour of phone calls.
	It must have been a rerun or something because last Friday I got into the show and nobody called so I went to bed.
	I just cut it off early.
	But on Friday nights I only do one hour and it's what is normally this second hour.
	Yeah.
	So I don't know if he's going to broadcast that or not.
	That's why I called tonight.
	I thought just in case I could get through I'd go ahead and call even though I didn't know what was going on yet.
	Here in another 20 minutes, 15 minutes we'll get to hear a part of your show at least.
	Yeah, well, you'll find out.
	I've got to hurry up and come up to my 550 and plug in it and do the low frequency FM translator and try and share your frequency with some of these neighbors around here and maybe wake a few more of them up.
	This is Gary, right?
	Yes, sir.
	Gary T. Up here in the mountains, this is Wilbur Heights.
	Gary T. Yeah, Gary T. I just got a small letter of yours today.
	I haven't opened it yet.
	Yeah, I got that.
	I think I'm going to call him.
	I mentioned it before I was actively looking for something.
	Yeah, I got that.
	It's a really attractive package.
	I got that.
	I think I'm going to call them.
	That's what the kids in and so far it's working out really well.
	Wonderful.
	They work at their own pace and actually the math was very, very challenging to my high
	school student.
	The math mastery CD and so it made him go back and look at the remedial stuff first
	to getting ready to take the more difficult courses.
	So, I think it's a great package.
	I think it's a great package.
	Well, good.
	It's good.
	It definitely challenges them, and it's done in a sequence that they actually learn.
	They get immediate feedback when they get quizzed.
	Yeah.
	My daughter is 6 years old and if she were to go to school, she'd never been to school a day in her life.
	If she were to go to school they'd have to start her in the 4th grade.
	She's really quick.
	Real bright little girl.
	But she's just like every other little girl in this whole world.
	Little girl.
	She just has special.
	She's a lot of toys for a little girl.
	Yeah, well she's had special attention and she's around adults all the time and we love
	her dearly and spend an awful lot of time with her and that's the difference.
	It is a big difference and it's going to make a huge difference in her life.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well she'll be lonely though for a little while because not many kids will be at the Well, it's lonely up on this mountaintop anyway for a little girl.
	There are no other kids around here.
	Yeah, but it's nice.
	It's peaceful.
	Yeah.
	No gang violence.
	No gang biting.
	That's not so bad.
	Oh, that's great.
	Yeah, it's pretty neat.
	Well Bill, I just wanted to say hi and say I really miss you in real time.
	I will get some money down there and get a satellite and get to enjoy you in real time
	again.
	And start broadcasting.
	And start broadcasting and become part of your network.
	Alright.
	I look forward to doing that.
	Great.
	Talk to you later.
	Thank you.
	Bye bye.
	Bye bye.
	520-333-4578 is the number.
	The topic tonight is weapons, rifles, pistols, reloading, bullets, you know, whatever it
	is that strikes your particular fancy.
	The specific topic tonight was the long range rifle.
	And in particular, the 375 H&H Magnum Wildcat, which is accurate out to a mile.
	Now I'm just practicing the thousand yards and I'm getting six inch groups and I know that I can do a lot better than that eventually and I know that I can reach out and hit my target at a thousand yards, whatever
	that target may be, and eventually I hit it exactly where I want to hit it.
	It just takes work, and it takes practice, and it takes time.
	But you've got to start, you've got to start with the biggest advantage that you can possibly
	have and that is the tool that you're going to use to do it well.
	The rest of it is practice and skill and breath control and not expecting that recoil and
	not pulling the trigger or flinching and doing it right.
	Getting your sight picture proper.
	Making sure that you're not tilting that rifle to one side or the other.
	That it's straight up and down.
	And, uh, you know, all that kind of stuff.
	So, uh, maybe we'll talk about all of those kinds of things on a different program.
	But tonight we talk specifically about the rifle.
	The components that go to make up that rifle and the peculiarities of that rifle and things to do to make it more accurate.
	Most of these things, I've got to tell you, are extremely important.
	Most people own rifles that have never been bedded and the barrels never been floated.
	Just bedding the action In a stock, we'll increase your accuracy by about 50%.
	Free floating the barrel will give you another 50%.
	Stress relieving the barrel will improve your accuracy tremendously.
	You have no idea exactly what that will do, but I'm going to tell you.
	Reloading your rounds properly and consistently the same all the time will go an awful long way to make sure that your rifle is consistently accurate.
	And that means every step of the way you've got to use the same primers.
	You've got to make sure that they're seated absolutely properly.
	You've got to make sure that each case is exactly the same length.
	And we're down now to where we're even weighing the cases.
	And if I've got two cases that are exactly the same length, and they don't weigh the same, I'll get rid of the one that's the oddball.
	And we're weighing bullets.
	You can have tremendous difference in the weight of bullets.
	And if you want to maintain the same skill and accuracy over a long period of time, You've got to make sure that everything is exactly right.
	Like I said during the early part of the program, this was not a reloading class, so I didn't go into all of these kinds of things that you might want to think about later.
	I concentrated mainly upon the rifle and the components of that rifle and what you need to do to put it together.
	It doesn't have to be a .375 H&H Magnum Improved Wildcat.
	It can be any other caliber that you want as long as you have some specific goal in mind and as long as it's not out of the reach of the caliber and the equipment and the rifle that you've chosen.
	Otherwise, you'll be totally frustrated.
	You know, get a realistic goal and go for it.
	Remember all of the things that I talked about tonight for 375 H&H Magnum Improved Wildcat
	apply to any other caliber or any other rifle or situation that you may be putting together.
	It just may apply in slightly different amounts, so to speak.
	For instance, you're not going to get accuracy out to a mile with a .308, but you can get
	out to a thousand yards with a .308 if you do it properly.
	It's not something that the average person would shoot for.
	I mean a more realistic goal with a .308 is somewhere between 500 and 700 yards.
	But if you did it properly, I'm going to tell you right now, you could be shooting and hitting your target and getting good groups at 1,000 yards with a .308.
	The reason we went to a 375 H&H Magnum Improved Wildcat was because we wanted something that could get as far as we could humanly expect to get with what we had to work with.
	Because we know that someday we're going to need it.
	And that is important.
	So, I guess with that, we're out of time.
	Good night, folks.
	See you tomorrow night.
	God bless each and every single one of you.
	People, I think it's time we stopped this running around.
	This world is going too fast and we'd like to slow it down.
	Don't let them talk you into doing what you don't want to.
	Just learn to say no and learn how to choose.
	Cause you don't owe nobody nothin' except God above.
	Go out and go after the things that you like, you love.
	Don't try to force it, cause it ain't goin' through.
	The one person that you should never try to fool is you.
	You can make it to the top, but only you know when to leave.
	But I am not to be called a wreck of what I breathe I am not to be called a wreck of what I breathe
	I am not to be called a wreck of what I breathe Thanks for watching!
