I hope y'all don't have any open orders with them...

I currently use RCBS standard dies for .308. I am planning on upgrading my equipment and thought about getting Matchmaster or Hornady equivalent bushing dies. I have been doing some reading here and elsewhere and it seems that getting consistent neck tension would result in tighter groups. I would assume the only way to get improve this would be to turn the necks on a latch or some sort; Hornady has a tool for this. Am I correct in assuming that turning the necks is the only way to get consistent tension and is there a better tool than the Hornady for this? I really don't want to have to add this step; though I would assume it would be a one and done for the life of the brass.

This is probably the best article I have seen on barrel break-in and why you need it. They reference pressure tests ran on accuracy barrels to describe how a barrel changes during the first shots through a new barrel.

As show in photo. 3x brass checked at random with swage gauge-primer pockets still tight. Fired from bolt gun at 2900 w/75 elds. loaded rounds included. Brass was washed quickly in an ultrasonic, then air dryed...cases are not tumbled/polished. 88 cases primed with cci 450.

I’m kind of new to the long range world , I just purchased a defiance tenacity MA with standard bolt face. I was in a Facebook group asking some questions and a gunsmith messaged me and started asking me what I was wanting to do with my custom build. I told him I was intending on buying a shouldered prefit barrel to install to my action. He then told me that he could cut me a barrel and install on my rifle with something called a BUGNUT , and that they were the cool new thing , and that I could have multiple barrels for my rifle and just swap them
Out when needed??? I kind of figured that a person could do the same with shouldered prefits??? And also , I’m having g hard time researching an understanding , but I fell like I read that the bug nut thing , even is used also with prefit barrels??? And if that’s the case why would I need to pay someone to cut and chamber a barrel blank ? My question to y’all is , is this guy correct? And I’d have a better product if I let him cut me a barrel and use a Bugnut ? Or should
I remain on course and just order my proof shouldered prefit? And just to clarify , this guy is not a crook or anything just looking for business , he is locally known and is a good person and he actually competes , so part of me says
To listen to the guy and he may be able
To fit me a barrel that is better than
Just a proof prefit .

This is very interesting. This is one bright woman, we need her.

This election should have produced the biggest red wave in history. All the indicators were there in plain sight. What the geotracking will show, again, is democrat operative 'mules' stuffing ballot boxes in the dead of night, and 'votes' being counted for days until the prearranged result is reached.

It's WAY too late for voting, patriots.

Just recently picked this bad boy up and want to provide some information to the community. I'll be going on several pig hunts here over the course of the next 2 weeks, and will give some more indepth insights after said trip.


Preliminary findings: smaller than what I thought it would be, nice low profile, and the image.....one of the best Ive ever seen. I'm my opinion, it supercedes what the UTC X I had was capable of. That, and the digital magnification is out of this world. On 2x digital, I actually have a hard time of telling that the resolution has been halved. It looks like it maybe has decreased by 10%... if that.

But anyway, here's some pictures. All of the images are labeled with what I used optics wise.

As far as I know, the WA 3rd is the last district touching the Pacific Ocean (on the west coast) that was solid Republican than has now switched Democrat.

Got a great condition 338 ultra gen1 for sale. Fixed 5/8x24 Direct thread Mount. $900 Open to offers. More pics if interested.

TBAC 50% off cert. took it in trade and decided I’m not going to use it. $300. Looks like all the other certs.

So, from those who have used them, which one would get the thumbs up?

One on the Vortex, can you go "below zero" like on the current PST II', NF, etc.?

No aids. No kestrel. No range finder. No dope cards. No buddies to coach or spot for you.

Just you, your scoped rifle with bipod, and a rear bag (Wilcox turned off)

Target distance is unknown. Wind is 5 to 10 MPH shifting from 7 to 10 o’ clock. Target is unobscured, not moving, freshly painted white, and it’s daytime.

How far could make that hit, cold bore/shooter, with 100% confidence?

So Im coming off of shooting a 6.5 for PRS. Distances are 600- 1300 yds. I choose that as I could buy ammo and didn't know how to reload. I have learned to reload and have someone willing to help me continue to learn load development etc. Whats the next best option? Was going to order a new barrel/caliber over the winter and start working up something. Was considering a 6 creedmoor or a 6GT. Whats everyones opinion. I prefer not to have to tinker with mag kits and or having feeding issues. Currently H4350 is plentiful where I am which also plays a factor.

I shot at a match today (took home 4th) and experienced my first blown primer.

The load is 41.3gr of H4350 behind a 140gr ELDM, CCI 450 primer, brass Alpha OCD 6x reloaded brass, and the barrel had been cleaned roughly 90 rounds before this happened.

On this shot I made impact and all following 8 shots were impacts. All brass fired after the blown primer show no head stamp markings due to the pits in bolt face, damage, etc.




Did do some pitting damage to my bolt face. Thoughts on this too?

I’ve had a PVA Proof Contour barrel on my PRS match rifle for 2800 rounds. I know it’s time to let it go, but it’s been a tack driver that’s treated me really well. Still shooting just about 1 moa. Do I just let it go?

New PVA barrel arrived a couple days ago. Not the same reamer, so load dev required.

This walked into my shop today, kind of neat. It's a booster for helping big planes take off of small air strips I believe. Any way you can track down the SN and figure out which plane it came from? I was told a C130 called Fat Albert, but have no way to verify.

Thanks!

So folks couldn’t be bothered to vote and the Dems buck one of the most predictable trends in politics as a result.

Il Douché Trump throws a fit as his grip both mentally and metaphorically loosens. Hopefully the enema of the Republican Party continues and we can get back to pushing actual conservative policies instead of dumbshit Donald fantasies. Oh, and I’ll even pop a bottle of bubbly if that useless piece of gash Beoburp losses her seat. Fucking embarrassment to humanity and very idea of sentience.

That is all. Go back to your ‘stop the steal’ mewlings and how you’re ready to fight for freedom one bag of Cheetos at a time.
