    Kestrel 5700 elite

    I just got a 5700 to replace my 4500 that the compass finally failed on. I chose to go without the link. I have never used the BT on the 4500 and the price difference was around $200. I have always input my data in manually and trust my numbers completely, so I don't need the custom curves. I...

    Salt bath annealing advice

    Just FYI, when you splash some on your skin, it doesn't hurt or catch you on fire or anything. It just plastisizes and flakes off, no big deal.

    Gunsmithing creating flat plane for bottom of a T4 for Arca rail installation????

    I just torqued it down. The rail bent a little to conform to the stock. It all works well with any arca clamps I've used.

    WTB: Berger 130gr Hybrids (500 pack)

    I've got a bunch (looks like about 1300). Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out. I don't have any 6.5mm guns anymore.

    Gunsmithing McMillan A5 mods

    I just converted a righty TF4A to left handed and did some repairs to some of the internals. It really isn't a big deal. The fiberglass will show a little where it is cut on end, but a little paint would take care of it. The main thing when cutting in the reliefs is to go very slow with a...

    RL16&26 Hyped, RL23 Crickets

    I've been using it exclusively in 6 creed since it came out. Best powder I've ever used.

    224 predator

    So, I have one I got from AR15 Performance. I'm still working through powders to find the right stuff, but H4895 will get an 80 to 3050 or so in mine. I think a dense, small grain powder in the RL15/Varget burn rate should be the ticket. I'm thinking RL16 might have a lot of promise for a...

    Help me w first PRS 6mm build- Competitors Only

    When I first started competing, I went with a 243. 2 barrels running DTACs at 2950 and 105's at 3000 both went 2000 rounds. New gun, new cartridge, 6XC: running 105s at 3100, 2 barrels went at 1200. Now, Im into a 6mm Creedmoor running RBT DTACS at 2950 with a slow powder. I have over 1500...

    A shoulder bump die with a Mic head?

    David Tubb makes a die that does have a floating bushing. The cool thing about it is that the bushing also bumps the shoulder. It doesn't have a micrometer head, but the threads are fine. The problem is it is only made for the 6xc. It really is a great design with a lot if potential.

    Hornady L-n-L Progressive Question

    I have seen the press modified to fix this. Drill a hole where the indent is and tap it. Stick a bolt in the threaded hole. Steel on steel rather than steel on aluminum. I haven't done it. I hand prime.

    i need a new scale, any1 use a gempro 250?

    I love this conversation. It comes up often and the results are always the same. I have 4 digital scales/balances: a SmartReloader cheapo, a Chargemaster, a GemPro 250, and a A&D 120fxi. All of them drift. All of them. I know this because I have spent countless hours in front of all of...
