    Roof top tents are the best. It keeps the inside of the truck more open and its easier to keep organized. I built a drawer system in the back as well so I could keep my guns secure and out of sight. Even my 49"(LOA) 300 win mag fits in there (barely). I did the tent thing forever and it just...

    Has anyone done a proper action screw torque setting test? I did a search and came up with a bunch of posts from people asking the same question but no replies other than the factory spec number. Has anyone started at a low in/lb setting and gone up to the max and seen how it effected their...

    Pay it Forward Thread

    I love this! I was looking for a second hand concentricity gauge late last year and tayler89 offered one up that he had spare free of charge. I was fortunate that an opportunity to pay it forward popped up a few weeks later, a new shooter was looking for a trigger that I had sitting in a...

    I had the same problem at the last NRL22 event. I love the trigger weight as it is (stock spring and screw backed all the way out) but had a few trigger non resets and a slam fire when working the bolt quickly under time pressure. No bueno! I placed a bit of gun oil onto the bolt and the top of...

    correcting runout....after all is said and done

    I was not saying I was having "problems" with my groups....they are pretty good round about a half MOA give or take. The point is exactly like you say....you can always improve. That is half the fun of reloading....going further down the rabbit hole.

    correcting runout....after all is said and done

    I am getting between .003" and. 004" of runout after the round is complete (aka once it's all said and done). I am measuring this at the bullet ogive....When measuring the case neck it has .001" to .0005" runout so I am good there (my Hollywood reloading press is old school but really gets the...

    correcting runout....after all is said and done

    I have found plenty of info (search bar is great) on correcting runout DURING the reloading process. What I cant find is any way to effectively correct when i have one or two thousandths of runout AFTER the reloading process in my finished round. If I have missed any obvious threads that cover...
