    Neck turning & ARs

    It won't improve things. It's arguable that it makes much of an accuracy difference in bolt guns (aside from tight neck chambers where it's required). I turn necks on my F-Class guns, and even at 1k on a calm day it's not like there's a meaningful difference on target. I've done it on an AR10...

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    Every custom action is quick barrel swap if you have a barrel vice and action wrench.

    F-TR build suggestions?

    Hey Tim, I'd suggest looking at the Berger SWN equipment lists for the past 3-4 years. I can save you some time though.. Action: Borden BRM or Kelbly Panda F-Class Barrels: 29-31" finished length, 1:10 twist , Kreiger/Bart/Brux in a HV contour. Trigger: Jewell, Bix, or Flavio down around 2-4oz...

    Zero press

    I don't know what my expectations were to be honest; I wanted one, so I got one. I'm not disappointed. I do think it will produce better ammo than my old RC supreme, but the differences are very very minor, and so small you'll never see anything "definitive" on target. What I did notice...

    Zero press

    As far as the press...if you can't figure that out you probably don't need to be reloading. Bolt it to the table using the supplied mount/hardware. Install dies per mfg instructions, and setup to your desired bump. If you ordered the Area 419 shell holders, maybe this will help?

    Zero press

    It undoubtedly is nice. I'll probably never upgrade presses for the rest of my life.

    Zero press

    I literally just got my zero press in yesterday morning. I was upgrading from an RCBS RC Supreme I've used for the past 20 years. That RC press has given me a lot of success in F-Class, but I felt like it was time to upgrade. Overall I'm a little underwhelmed with the Zero. I had put my hands...

    Little mag help please

    Just ordered it. I like this better than nicking it up with a leatherman. It's a Hawkins M5 bottom metal in a foundation stock. Kelbly Atlas Tactical action. I don't think I can adjust the height.

    Little mag help please

    Hey Guys, Just got my first PRS rifle built, and I've signed up for my first match taking place next weekend. The gun (6GT) is hammering, but I'm having a little trouble with feeding out of two Accurate Mag 10 rounders. Every ~7-8th round (and there's no consistency to which round it...

    Good "generic" bag setup for PRS beginner?

    Thanks guys. Any rear bag that would work in a lot of circumstances? The only ones I have are Protektor & SEB rear bags with heavy sand lol. Regarding the tripod/binos, I have a Razor spotting scope. I assume that would work?

    Good "generic" bag setup for PRS beginner?

    Hey Guys, I finished up building a PRS rig and I'm planning to enter my first match. I've shot a bunch of F-Class, but never done anything PRS related. I'm so ignorant to this stuff, don't really know the right questions to ask; apologies in advance for that. I have a rifle setup with an...

    Range Report Hornady 147 ELDM blowing up

    No. Mine were blowing up on one thousandth of tension, and graphite lubed necks. Hornady factory ammo is blowing up at Creedmoor/.260 speeds. This is not a loading problem. I had watched a guy blow up ~40-50% of his factory 147s the month before my blow-ups occurred. I cleaned and borescoped...

    Long range (1000 yard) reloading for 308...168 gr. SMK vs. 175 gr. SMK vs. 185 gr. Berger Juggernaut

    2550 is about the bare minimum you'll need to consistently stay supersonic at 1k at your altitude. If you go to a lower altitude and see any oncoming wind you may have issues. I wouldn't shoot on e-targets at 1k with that setup, but for steel it should work fine.
