I used a glass bedding kit on my 5r and have noticed little if any difference. This could be because i am in no way as good a shooter as most guys on this site, but my rifle consistently shoots .5-.75 moa even with me behind it, this is before and after the bedding job.

Why is it that whenever you try to kindly offer some factual information to someone who is claiming that their .243 only drops a foot at 1000 yards with a 100 yard zero that they always get mad and claim that their best friend is a seal, spec-ops, etc. and that's what he uses and he knows what...

Found the original

My 6 year old daughter was corrected at school today for making a gun like gesture. The problem was she didn't have proper stance or grip position, she was taught the correct way and class resumed. Man I love homeschool!

Had a coworker tell me he shot at a coyote at 40 yards with his 8mm Mauser and the darn thing had such fast reflexes that it stepped to the side dodging his bullet.

No I did not need to full length size the entire case just the neck but I did run the brass all the way into the die in order to remain consistent, I didn't want to short stroke it and not fully expand the case neck.

Ok guys I was able to adjust the decapper expander pin up about 3/16" and this allowed me to full length size the cases without removing the primer, 100 down and 400 to go. Looking back I feel stupid that such a simple solution was staring me in the face, I guess I was over thinking the issue...

Good Idea Big Z , I'm gonna head to the barn to see what works.

Please excuse my ignorance if I am wrong but I am using a lee full length sizing die and as far as I know the expander is part of the decapping pin.

Will that work for the ones dented inward? I would think that squeezing from the outside would only add to the bend, but as my wife says I am seldom right. Anyway I am still going to try it your way, thanks.

I just ordered some new Remington 22-250 brass that is pre primed and upon arrival I see that the case necks are not perfectly round which is typical on new brass, my question is how do I resize the neck without knocking out the primer?

Hey guys, butchsreloading.com has a large variety of powder in stock right now! Unfortunately no varget.

Thanks for the input guys, I really want to compete to help point out my weaknesses and to improve myself as a long le load 1range shooter. Another question, do you guys load oal to mag length or stretch it out to touch the rifling because my mag well only allows me to load out to about 2.850...

I have a stock Remington mil spec 5r that consistently groups .5"@100yards will this be good enough to get me started in f t/r?

I have had good luck in my 5r with the 168 a-max over 48gr of reloder 17, Winchester brass and primers at 2.800 oal. It holds .5 Mao out to 500. I also like the 208 a-max over 46gr of reloder 17 at 2.833 oal. These were worked up to be hunting rounds and work great out of my 5r with no pressure...
