    Issues with reloading 6.5x47 Lapua

    I have witnessed the issue in the flesh... here is my input. The load is 37.0 grains of Varget, so not compressed. The issue is not related to engagement with rifling as we can seat the ogive into the neck and the issue still exists. If you size a case it will chamber fine without a projectile...

    Rifle Scopes Stupid question on Beast

    I have not got a BEAST on hand so cannot comment with 100% certainty, but my guess would be that if you zero the scope with the throw lever set to +0.1MIL and then back it off to 0 or the natural position, you would effectively be 0.1 mil lower than your intended zero. I have though about this...

    Rifle Scopes S&B.. NF.. where to put the money on first really high end glass???

    I would buy the NF. In my time I have seen more S&B warranty issues than I have NF. Both are great scopes.

    Blowing primers at MINIMUM load?

    The bolt on my DTA has been screwed because of Winchester LR primers. Brand new Lapua brass, minimum loads of Varget (41gr) shooting 185 bergers. I didnt even get from minimum load on my ladder testing before I had sustained 4 blown primers. The gas seems to have escaped from the edge of the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 4.5-27 worth giving up my 5.5-22 NXS?

    Looks like a really awesome scope, but seriously, the weight is a huge huge issue. Think about it like this. The Gen II comes out and their (vortex) R&D continues. They look at an already great scope and think how can we improve this? Lets make a Gen III but make it lighter because its the only...

    Question about tumblers

    The tumbler (stainless) will certainly remove case lube from sizing, however if you have done any neck chamferring and debur work, the pins will peen that nice sharp edge. I recommend the following process. 1. Lee universal decap 2. Lube outside of cases (i use imperial) 3. Size (i use Redding...

    im borrowing your pic for a local forum... thanks mate ;) I hope you dont mind. Also... being a huge 7.62x39 fan, I'm so jealous of you Americans that can own semi auto rifles. This Desert Tech offering looks very suave. For now, I will stick to my bolt actions.
