Have you tried PRVI brass?

Re: What happened to the "bolt knob jig" thread? What I didn't like was having a thread that I was enjoying reading disappear without so much as an explanation. And if you want to boot me off this forum for speaking my peace, go right ahead. I got along just fine before joining this forum...

Re: What happened to the "bolt knob jig" thread? Thanks for the link. But I would like to know what happened to the one posted here along with my and other Hide members' comments. I'm more than a little unhappy that my comments have been deleted (along with the entire thread) especially...

Re: What happened to the "bolt knob jig" thread? All I can say is if the moderators want to play 'Gestapo' and delete anything they want, then I won't be a member of this forum much longer.

I was enjoying reading about the Savage bolt knob modifications and it up and disappeared. What happened to it?

Re: Range in Tooele, Utah Why do you need a range when you are practically surrounded by BLM land?

Re: Light Weight Varmint Rifle Depends. I would use a very different contour for a coyote gun vs a prairie dog gun.

Re: Case capacity load adjustment I agree a re-work of the load is necessary. I also agree at least 6 pieces of brass need to be averaged. QuickLoad can predict the new load by first calibrating the original load to velocity/case capacity, then substituting the new case capacity and...

Re: Induction Annealing Troubles I anneal with a cheap propane torch spinning the brass with a cordless screwdriver. I don't quench because every video of every annealing machine I have seen does not quench.

Re: 1426 yard deer Fortunately the deer didn't take a step during that long flight time of the bullet or the deer would have been gut shot.

Re: Caliber for new build - 260 vs 7-08 vs 284 Goatphius, turbo54 cannot remove the bolt with a loaded round that is too long. He said he has a claw type extractor. The ejector is not built into the bolt but rather is a spring loaded pin that the bolt rides over. The more you pull on the...

Re: Which 7mm on which Savage? I think I have narrowed my cartridge choices down to the 7mmRSAUM and the 284 Winchester. Based on brass quality and availability, which is the better choice?

Re: Which 7mm on which Savage? Two more votes for the SAUM which is on my short list. 65nut, probably single shot nearly all the time - I'm not into the tactical stuff. Good points, Greg. I plan on doing some competing (well, maybe not competing, but at least showing up) in some long...

Re: Which 7mm on which Savage? Sure it will go past 1000 yards. So will my 270 WSM shooting 130 SSTs. But time of flight compared to a 7mm short mag shooting 175 SMKs or 180 Bergers shows there will be a lot more drop and wind drift. The 7-08 has a lot of good points starting with brass...
