Just want to give a shout out for RCBS great service. I busted 2 decapping units from 2 different dies over the weekend. Called RCBS and they're sending replacements, FREE. No fuss, no questions, no snide remarks of my reloading incompetence. The last time this happened to me with a...

Quick follow up to say again, thanks for all your help. I soaked it overnight in Kroil. Then used a bronze circular brush with a flexible Dremel. That took out all the stuck Devcon that I could see and a bit of the bluing too. Took it out over the weekend and still have all my fingers.

Thanks for your insights and suggestions. I have the chamber soaking in Kroil. Tomorrow, I will heat it with an iron. I may be able to fit a flexible Dremel brass brush in there. If I can, I will try that. Will post the results shortly.

In bedding my rifle, I forgot to plug the front guard screw hole. Needless to say, I got Devcon inside the lug recess area. I managed to get most of the stuff out before it dried. But there's a splotch of it. I can see and feel it. It feels rough. The bolt closes without any problems...

Recently, I needed some replacement parts for various RCBS items. Among many parts included the Rockchucker ram rod. In fact, I nicked the die nut in removing it to check the Rockchucker manufacture date. I asked and they replace that also. No problems, no hassle. I just called and told...

Re: best scope for budget build!!!!!!!!! Please help I have a few SS 16x and am quite pleased with it. Although if you can swing the extra cash, an IOR 16x will knock your socks off.

Re: Anyone know of anyone else making scope bikinis? I have an IOR scope with a very long sunshade, 22" length. I gave him the dimensions of the objective and eyepiece. I got the custom cover within a week. Fits nicely. I am very satisfied with it...

I needed to replace the turret screws on an older 4-14x50. I was in Denver and was a bit stressed for time. Scott, of IOR, met me in the morning on his way to work to give me the screws. And the screws were free. Now, that's great customer service. I have 2 IOR scopes already and will...

Re: Tubb 2000 final bore polishing system I like it a lot for my new rifles with factory barrels, including 22lr. It did tighten the group a bit initially. But the groups continued to tighten thereafter. Could be the Tubbs or could have been finding better loads.

Re: .308 hand load for FN SPR Update on loads for my 308 FNH PBR w/ 20" fluted barrel. Loaded 175SMK, 43.1gr RL15, CCI #34 primer and LC LR brass, it goes subsonic between 800 to 900 yards. But bump the charge up to 44.3gr RL15, it stays supersonic to 1000 yards. Didn't see any signs...

Re: FN PBR I bought the Hogue Overmolded with the full length aluminum block when CDNN still had them. I am extremely happy with it. With a 20" barrel, the light stock makes the rifle feel like 22, not at all unwieldy. And the rifle shoots well out to 600+ yards, within 1 moa. Although...

Re: 308 FN action questions I have a CDNN 308 FNH PBR xp barreled action, 20" barrel. The stock is a Hogue Overmolded with a full length aluminum block, from CDNN when they still had it. Up to 600 and it has been extremely accurate. Using reloads, loaded to M118 specs, it was going...

Re: SWFA: Customer Service Chris, The shipping charge was credited to me? I thought I was getting a refund check. My mistake. But most impressive, you've found my account on the following day without being asked; you're actively monitoring customer satisfaction. And better yet, thank...

Re: Bushnell elite 10x or SS 10x? I have all 3 of the SS (10x, 16x and 20x) and the Bushnell 10x. I like the SS 16x the best. Good magnification without the distortion (if that is the correct term) of the 20x. I don't especially care for the 10x's. The magnification is a bit low for me...
