Re: ANNOUNCING Steiner Military/Tactical Rifle Scopes I second the comments made by UncleBenji. I just took delivery of my own 4x16. My comparisons are against a S&B 5x25 and a S&B 4x16. Dimensional complarisons are spot on. The elevation turret on mine is a CCW two turn 20 mil affair...

Re: Dillon Automatic Primer Filler Definitly go with the variable reostat. I have one Dillon filler, and one old CAMDEX unit that is about twice the size. Both work well. If you are running a Dillon 650 or better (I run 3 Dillon 1000's) one of these will make you life much easier.

Re: new Berger 338 cal 250 gr Hybrid - testers needed Im in! Sounds like an excellent approach to market research

Re: people collecting brass at the range Either a chamber is in SAAMI spec, or it isn't. If the chamber is in spec (will close on a go gauge, and not a no-go gauge), and the reamer was of correct for caliber dimensions (i.e. the neck is not short), then properly reloaded brass will fit in...

Re: .308 Precision on dillion 550? Dillon shell plate flex will absolutely affect sizing and seating depths. I first noticed this in 2003 when I measured different seating depths on my 650 at the end of a run once the last piece of brass cleared the sizing die. At the time, I was trying for...

Re: new 50 like to pick a brain or two?? I would recommend you stay with H50BMG to start off with. I reloaded .50 for awhile. During that time, I came across some Virgin 5010 that was blowing primers out at 215 grains (well below many peoples recommended starting load). I had to back off...

As the title suggests. I am looking for a bag for a AICS AX stocked GAP 26" barrel rifle. I am currently using a Blackhawk pack mat bag, but the fit is less than ideal when the stock is folded. Just wondering what is out there for this purpose. Thanks

Re: giraud vs gracey Giraud all the way. Three cutter heads and trim dies for .308, 35-06, .223, 22-250, and .50 BMG. One of the best investments on my bench. I have never used the Gracy, but know people who have for years without complaint. I have used the Dillon 1200 trimmer. For...

Re: Barrel twist for 55 grain Hornady fmjbt's ? Wow, I would take the comments above with a grain of salt. The accuracy comments have little to do with the twist rate of the barrel or bullet selection, and very likely everything to do with quality/condition of equipment and shooter skill...

Re: Leupold Mk 4 Vs. Nightforce During my last match before deploying (July, Quantico), something let loose in my S&B PMII 5x25, causing the parallax knob to cease functioning. I was fired my last group for record at 1000 with the scope dialed down to 5x, and things were still fuzzy. Yes, a...

Re: 50 BMG Mentor (SO YOU WANTED A FIFTY) I feel your pain on this one. The 5010 issue became apparent when 218g stuck a case in my McMillian at a match. I have since switched exclusivly to H50BMG. Yes, it is a proposition to switch from conventional reloading. I think the only crossover...

Re: McMillan .50 BMG rifle, accuracy with ball ammo? Using Federal M33, my Tac-50 easily gets sub MOA. At a recent 1000yard match, this same ammo shot sub 20" five shot groups.
