Your favorite free online resources
Hey everybody,
I'm working on a section of my website where I list free online resources for people looking for information. Right now thinking about three sections: one for gunsmiths, competition shooters, and new shooters. These would include references such as headspace interchangeability, Brownells barrel fitting worksheet, sight height calculators, serial number lookups, etc. If anybody has any resources they like, please feel free to share them. I'm looking for highly factual or authoritative sources - I.e. most forum links wouldn't make the cut but exceptional blog articles or YouTube videos might. Thanks in advance everybody!

How about a ballistics calculator and a bullet stabilization calculator.
For instance: https://www.hornady.com/team-hornady...alculators/#!/ And: http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmstab-5.1.cgi |

There's no such thing as 'headspace interchangeability'.
Blog articles or YouTube videos are not authoritative. Your best bet is a search engine and paying attention to the source. Wikipedia, for example, is not authoritative either. Don't trust ballistics and bullet stabilization calculators. SAAMI is. http://www.saami.org/specifications_...tion/index.cfm So is http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/

Used Stevespages a lot for manuals back when I was in school.

Also, a friend of mine pointed me to Stevespages recently. When I visited, it required a user name and password which require a payment (not much money, I think $12 for a year). I may include it is a reference note in my post but I am really searching for a compilation of free resources - there is more out there than one might think.
