So the search begins on where to start the new homestead. We will be heading to the Kalispell, Montana area this summer and are looking for some recommendations on campgrounds. We will be spending a month in the area so we see if it’s a good fit for us.
It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it would be a huge plus if it had internet. My wife can work remote so a connection via wi-fi would save some vacation time.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Just a heads-up gentleman after several in-depth conversations with Terry Cross of KMW we are seriously considering doing a collaboration of a rifle project together. With our combined expert experience of over 75 years of building thousands of platforms we are thinking of doing a Tac Ops / KMW rifle and doing a run of 10 to 20 platforms. After careful consideration with our combined experience, we are thinking of guaranteeing the platforms to shoot 1/8 MOA with factory ammo. I will be doing some of the work here and Terry will be stepping inn and deploying his expertise as well. If we move forward with this project, they will be built based off of Terry’s stock design. The rifles will have the traditional Tac Ops Green & Black color pattern with our textured look / feel. We are still discussing several factors of the possible build and the name we came up with would be KM-OPS 51.

If we decide to move forward, we will launch a new thread and state all the specs of the build…

Thank you for your time

Mike R.

Have any of you had the opportunity to compare the 87gr Vmax to the 80gr VT yet? B.C.’s look very close between the two. Just curious if it is worth jumping from the 87 to the newer shinier 80. Looking at shooting them out of a 6mm Creedmoor at prairie dogs and coyotes.

Sorry if this has been discussed, and I feel it has , but I couldn’t find anything on it. I have shot one prs match last year and am doing 3 more this season, I don’t mind reloading but it isn’t my favorite thing to do. I would rather spend more time shooting. I have been listening to a bunch of podcasts lately and keep hearing from different people how they have basically stopped doing load development. Pick a velocity, pick a seating depth, maybe mess with that a little, and go shoot. Part of me says that it could work and part of me doesn’t as that’s “just not that way I do it”. Basically for people that have tried both, what have you find and what are your results?

How does a BCG effect on rifle performance that leads to accuracy?

Hi,

First time neck turner here. I'm using the K&M Neck Turning tool with 6.5 Creedmoor Lapua cases (LR primers).

I started with a big mistake: didn't lube enough and a ring of brass formed on the pilot (see on the picture below):


This caused deep scratches/grooves to form INSIDE the necks of the cases (I did 50 before noticing it...). On the video below you can see and hear the scratches:

Login to view embedded media
I put the pilot in copper remover for a few hours and the golden ring completely disappeared.

I thought I fixed the issue for good, but now, even when using lots of lube (Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax), there are light scratches (this time not deep, you can't/can barely feel them) but still, there are scratches...

Is this "normal" or should the inside of the neck be 100% free of any scratches? Did you ever experience this issue? What lube do you use to turn necks?

Looking to order a PVA prefit to replace a bartlein at the end of the year on my match gun. Undecided on getting another bartlein and waiting, and shipping and waiting or just ordering a PVA prefit. Looking to hear experience, good, bad, ugly. Specifically likely going with a 6.5cm 7.5twist shouldered for a tikka.

Let me know your experience.
