Yes it does!

Here's one I put together from my local Lowe's plumbing section.

My experience is that air currents from my home's HVAC system is a bigger influence on electronic scales than anything else. I routinely shut off the air vent in my reloading room when using my RCBS Chargemaster. I have a lamp with a fluorescent bulb right next to my Chargemaster and...

As of September 6, Primary Arms had Seekins bases in stock. Ordered mine Friday and it was in my mailbox Monday morning. primaryarms.com

Anybody ever use scope base shims (Brownells) rather than JB Weld, etc? Looks like shims would be a hell of a lot easier to swap out than JB Weld would be to remove.

Until videos become available on the Hide, the stickies on reloading at the top of this forum (TresMon, et al.) are about as good as they come. Also- Sinclair has a great set of YouTube videos for beginning reloaders.

Any idea what the street price might be once it's released ??

I've owned & shot a 5R for three years. It wears a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X50 with the Z1000 reticle. Zeiss glass (to my eyes) is crystal clear and I have shot out to 975 yds. Once you tune your loads to the reticle, dinging steel targets at 300, 600 yards, out to 975 yards using the Z1000...

gracias kydron!

Availability of Varget really is spotty. I ran into a bunch by chance in a local gun store in eastern NC last Saturday (REALLY Tobacco Road territory). On the other hand, IMR4064 is nowhere to be found.

Yes- sub-MOA out of the box sporter 700s exist. But they were built in the 1970s and 1980s. I bought my first 700 BDL in .30-06 in 1976 and it's always been and continues to be sub-MOA at 100 yds. That was then, this is now- Remington 700 quality has gone significantly downhill since then and...

Indeed !!!

69 grain SMKs are perfect for that rifle. 77 grain SMKs are on the margin of stability for a 1:9 but my 700 TAC shoots them like crazy. On the other hand, Hornady 75 grain AMAXs keyhole at 100 yds.

Thank you sir for providing those sources. My last course in statistics was taken while in graduate school (mid-1970s). Alas, chronic exposure to ethanol coupled with the normal aging process of the brain has apparently erradicated those brain cells in which my knowledge of statistical analyses...

Could you provide a reference to the descriptive statistic "MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation)" ? It's one with which I'm not familiar. In the mean time, I'll begin googling. Thanks!
