    You should read all of @secondofangle2 posts regarding the Superspiller.

    People ask me why I don't like Sig.......

    “ era of rank greed, worse than the 1980s even” Sounds like a line straight from the dem playbook. “Those evil Greedy corporations” In my post above I stated: “Cutting corners for short-term gains is not conducive to long-term profits and company/corporate solvency. I can understand...

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    Your terminology is confusing. Do the numbers you have on each group correspond to a cartridge Base-to-Ogive (CBTO) measurement? What are you referring to with your chamber measurement?

    Is it Easier to Shoot Sub MOA Further Out?

    Listen to your dad. If you are having issues with unsteady crosshairs at high magnification, dialing the scope power back will not solve the issue. It will just obscure the movement. Work on your shooting mechanics and front/rear rests. Also, bullets don’t self-correct in flight and yield...

    People ask me why I don't like Sig.......

    Profits are the keystone of capitalism. Cutting corners for short-term gains is not conducive to long-term profits and company/corporate solvency. I can understand criticism of corporate CEO stupidity for making bad decisions that harm the long-term profitability of a company but the blanket...

    People ask me why I don't like Sig.......

    I have a SIG P239 that is my EDC. Got it 27 years ago. Single-stack 8+1, slim, reliable, and built like a tank. I don’t need 15+ like the Glock fanboy sprayers. Would not trade it for any POS Glock or the new SIG striker-fired crap.

    Headspace is not brass body

    Precisely. Seasoned BR shooters can “feel” the right pressure for seating primers but this does not work on bumping shoulders. You cannot “feel” the correct bump. As @Maurygold said, us the comp shellholders and bring the die to a firm contact (camover) with the SH every time. If you do...

    Ballistic Subject Matter Expert needed

    I applaud your ingenuity and entrepreneurship. People with ideas and intelligence continue to make remarkable improvements in tools relating to shooting sports. A suggestion: I would not emphasize boresighting as the tool’s key use. While I am willing to spend untold $’s (untold to my wife...

    Cleaning for Carbon

    I’m probably guilty of this also. Also, I’ve noticed that sometimes the dark streaks are shadows of the lands. As I gain experience with the borescope, turning it as it moves in the bore eliminates the land shadow and reveals the carbon or lack thereof.

    Case Trimming when Headspace Reloading

    I like this method better than using the Sinclair Chamber Length Gauges. The Sinclair gauges will give you a false chamber length that exceeds the true length shown by your reamer print (bolt face to end of neck).

    Ingenuity Powder System

    Absolutely. Also, I added Paul’s new cup and have not had one kernel pop out.

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    It takes some time before you get your reloading routine stabilized and suitable for your needs. To me, it is a chore that I put up with. I don’t look forward to it. In the off-season winter months, I anneal, tumble, size my cases, and trim. I’ll do this work on a dreary winter day when...

    Fouling past the case neck

    Also, do you know your chamber neck diameter? It will be on your reamer print if you have it

    Little Crow Gunworks: Avg POI Is More Important Than Group Size. Thoughts?

    Yes. Miles, in one statement, indicates a better stat would be mean radius but didn’t follow up. The Hornady podcast on sample size was wrong on many levels. It was a display of individuals not familiar with correct statistical inference. A random variable (or random experiment) is a test in...
