    Hornady lock n load AP press owners

    To build off of what D-Huf has said, as I own a Dillon 550B and regularly use my Dad's XL650, you have to pay attention to the feel and results of all progressive presses.

    Hornady lock n load AP press owners

    I have been using my LnL AP with casefeeder for 9 months now and have had nearly zero issues with it. The only problem is 9mm like to bounce when dropped by the casefeeder and can come off the mechanism. However, I have 3d printed a part to stop that, and now have no complaints. I also use a...

    RCBS chargemaster 1500 vs lite model

    I do, and I've checked the charges with a Ohlin balance scale. Its accurate. I calibrate it every time I turn it on, and I leave it on for 15 minutes to "warm up". Just wait until after the beep, when it displays the charge weight again. Mine will go a 1/10th over from time to time. I just pay...

    Savage Stealth Evolution problems

    I'm not a big Savage fan, but I will state that I always check the torque on any new factory rifle I get. Savage (in my experience) is big on "good enough".

    Need a new .308

    As an update for those following this, I ordered a Howa Bravo today from Brownells. .308, with a 26" barrel. Thanks for all the help!

    Need a new .308

    Definitely not going with the SPR. Too much cash for my intended purpose. @coltm4 I do handload, and I fully intend to use the Lapua brass I have for this new rifle. I also have a bunch of FGMM once fired that I'd shot out of my Savage. It seems to be good brass, runout has been ~.002 for the...

    Need a new .308

    So, in absolute defiance of what I said earlier, I'm currently decided on the Howa Bravo with a 26" barrel. Any comments or things I should consider?

    Howa Bravo Experience

    First off great rig and I hope you heal up quickly! As to where to find them, seems that online, I've only found them at Brownells.

    Need a new .308

    Thanks coltm4. That's quantifiable, haha. I do appreciate the help from all.

    Need a new .308

    I feel you on that. The base remington stocks are garbage. I mean absolute crap. I cannot stress that enough. Haha, I really do hate to keep asking for quantifiable proof of something that's preference based. I love what I hear about Tikka, but the whole long action plus bizzare hollow stock...

    Need a new .308

    So, definitely still undecided. Everyone has great things to say about the Tikka, and the HMR, I have yet to hear of one that wont shoot well. The Remington is a known quantity to me. I have two and both are sub MOA, and the only thing I've done is put them both in Magpul Hunter stocks. That...

    Need a new .308

    I hadn't really looked at the SPR as an option, so I'll take a peek. @coltm4, I have heard nothing but good things about this particular Remington, and I have two that were produced in the last 5 years that are both phenomenal shooters. My biggest issue with Tikka is that its roughly the same...

    Need a new .308

    Thanks all. Yeah, I dig the 24" tube. I'm very much leaning towards the Remington 700. As to why I don't rebarrel the Savage, I have two answers: 1) I won't pay to send it back to Savage, and therefore their CS rep said I'm stuck with what I have (paraphrased), and 2) I will rebarrel it... in...
