Re: 300 Wby Mag crushed shoulder I bought a brand spankin new set of dies about 10 years ago, that had a spur on the inside. was doing same thing. Crushing the case. I don't know if this is the problem with yours, but worth checking. Also, if you can pull the bullets by hand, would not a...

Re: Gracey trimmer I dont have first hand experience with the Gracey, but a friend had a gracey, sold it and bought the Hornady case prep center. Said he likes it better. I've seen power adapters for manual trimmers. I guess it all depends on volume of loading.

Re: Press advice please I had a rock chucker, but hade leverage issues when resizing my 7mm Ultra Mag, and 300 Ultra Mag. I bought a Redding Ultra Mag press. It does a super job. Actually, run out on my ammo has lessened since using the Ultra Mag. All the presses mentioned are great.

Re: PRW Ring Problems, help Yes I am, and all is well till las few turns. Using a torque driver, and putting 15 inch pounds of torque. I guess I'll just keep messing with it. Thanks guys.

Get the gun level, get the scope level, tighten, and no matter what, when I tighten the rings, scope cants upon tightening. I've tried exact turns on each screw, corner to corner, get the scope in place with front ring, tighten back ring, vice versa. Was about ready to wrap 30-06,PRW Rings, and...

I have a 3x9 with the accurange. It does not have a top turret cap, but a dial type adjustment knob. Is this correct? Is there a way to tell the age of the scope. Tombstone intact, glass is very good and scope is not all ringed up, but does have a light ring mark. Approx. Value? Thanks.

Just bought a S & W 629 Classic with an 8-3/8" barrel. Looking for some good hunting loads. Have had good luck with Hornady XTP's in my .41 Mag. Anybody have a good load? Thanks Don

Re: Rifle Breakdown? I guess my question was a little vague. I mean using a period correct model 700, and stock if available. with maybe a redfield accurange scope and such. Something that would be "period" correct for mid 60's early 70's sniper rifle. I have had several custom rifles...

Anyone ever do a breakdown as to cost of a "correct build" just wondering if I want to start such a project, or look for one that is already done.
