    Grain weight accuracy

    I had a look at the electronic powder scales/throwers and the RCBS is over $600 here and hornady around $450-$500. To start with I'll be happy with +/- .2 grain as I'm just getting a feel for it all. I've followed all the instructions in regards to trimming and preparing the cases so should be...

    Rifle Scopes NF NXS adjustment

    Yeah that's what I was asking because say your POI is 1" left all scopes I've used you adjust the reticle 1" left onto the POI. But have heard high end scopes can go the other way where you would adjust 1" right to bring the impact point onto the reticle point.

    New scope cap introduction

    Make the side arms 2 piece and fit an internal spring so they can slide in and out yet the spring pulls them back together so it provides a tight seal on the front and top. Just an idea from a diesel mechanics perspective

    New scope cap introduction

    Hey guys , sorry I didn't read all the posts but could you use a 3D printer to make them if your using some sort of plastic? A 1ft x 1ft printer is $1200 in Australia so probably $300 in the states. I'm sure a member here is a machinist that could help with metal part construction.

    Rifle Scopes advice on scopes and use

    Depends how far you will be shooting the 300WM. I had a 3-9 redfield on mine and thought it wasn't enough and stepped up to a NF NXS 5.5-22 and due to the huge huge improvement in glass quality I can read signs at the shopping centre on 5.5x which are about 1000yds away. So all depends on glass...

    Crimping issue

    Hey Guys, When I'm using my lee factory crimping die on my 208gr AMAZ projectiles no matter how hard I try or how much I adjust the die I still can't get enough to stop the projectile being able to be moved by hand in a rotational direction. I tried on a factory round and achieved the same...

    Rifle Scopes New scope help

    Yeah I see what your saying. My redfield has the same issue with the numbers not lining up but I've heard the same issue with Swarovski scopes also so it's just one of those things. I got quoted $2080 for the VX6 at my local which puts it around $800 cheaper then most other scopes I've looked...
