    Wow, Ozzy's gone.........

    That would be awesome. Ozzy never really was satanic, or anti-God. He was all about theatrics and imagery to create a brand. He tapped into the same market attraction as haunted houses and horror movies. He didn’t seem to like organized religion at all (!), but I’ve heard him say quite a few...

    Reno Scheels

    Ok, I’ve been out of the loop I guess. Last I heard, Aliant was out of the civilian powder market “indefinitely”, which I figured was actually permanent. Are they back in the civilian market again?

    Nightforce ATACR 4-20x50 Mil-xt or Schmidt & Bender 3-20x50 non-ultra short in Tremor 2 or 3

    I have that exact NF on a .224 Valk. I like it just fine. I’ve never handled the SB you mention, but I have several of their PM IIs in 5-25 and one 6-36, and they are my favorites. I have the Tremor 3 reticle on a NF 7-35 and I’m not a fan of the reticle (the scope itself is great). The T3 is...

    Printed Precision Trickler

    You could try test-fitting caps off of various spray paint, etc cans till you find one that fits, and then cut them down so you're just left with the very top portion. I did this 20 years ago when I lost the top that came with my RCBS Uniflow, been using that cap ever since (and it fits much...

    Maggie’s Another M18 accidental discharge

    Yeah, but it's probably getting time to replace it.

    Maggie’s Another M18 accidental discharge

    This seems to be going the way of the PSR contract. Wonder how soon the new competition begins?

    Garmin Xero app not changing sd on excluded shot

    That is weird. Originally, the unit itself had that problem - delete a shot and it would recalculate AVG and ES, but not SD. But if you sent the session to the App and deleted your unwanted shots there, it would recalculate everything (including SD) correctly, and this was on an iPhone. Not too...

    300 Norma Mag

    I've been begging them for 2 years, every chance I get. It's always, "We'll probably do that real soon." I think they must have made the guy at IP the project manager for this one.

    300 Norma Mag

    Is this a unique thread pattern for SAC? I don't recall any other die makers using that thread off the top of my head.

    300 Norma Mag

    I agree about the M-series neck sizing. I have one in 300PRC and wish I could size the neck less.

    300 Norma Mag

    I can see the rationale for doing it, to keep the wall-thickness up for the larger bore of the die. I haven’t seen anyone definitively show that it is necessary, though. As you said, I guess we wait and see.

    300 Norma Mag

    I had not heard they were 1” threads. The ones they make for 300PRC and 300WM are 7/8”. Have you heard the 300NM will be 1” instead?

    300 Norma Mag

    It was probably both the die and the turret. Both companies are using very tight tolerances on their thread patterns, so the Zero will accept normal die threads with minimal slop, and the Micron will screw into normal press threads with minimal slop, but the Micron won’t screw into the Zero...
