    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    Ducks, I did the marker test on a neck sized cartridge and I am seeing marks where the shoulder and body meet. Could the seating operation be pushing the shoulder down enough to prevent it from chambering? I have a OAL gauge and there is .050 - .055 before the bullet touches the lands. As I...

    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    OK, I'm reaching out because I'm out of ideas. When I neck size my Lapua 260 Rem brass with a redding nonbushing die after firing the cartridges they will chamber in the same rifle without a bullet seated...but, after I seat a bullet (Scenar 139g @ 2.80 col) it will not chamber far enough for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P245 vs P220 SAS For CCW

    I have a P220 SAS compact that I like. It shoots good and feels good in the hand. But, it is thicker and has 1 less round capacity than my 1911 compact. The P220 compact will accept the full size P220 mags as well. Hope this helps.

    Anyone used Eberlestock sleeping bags?

    I have a down 32 degree Mountain Hardware mummy bag that I really like. If you get to hot just unzip it. If you get cold wear your thermals. As previously mentioned you should have a good ground barrier to help keep the cold off you and for general comfort.

    What Eberlestock pack accessories do u use?

    I went with the rain cover, two 3 liter side pouches (the 3L pouches will swing unless they are lashed down. I like the two liter also.), padded pouch, and grimlocks. I swap these between a GS2 and G4. I like what others have used for pouches and may try some of their ideas too. I bought two 2...

It took about three months to completely work out and a few trips to a chiro. Also, if it is inflamed a good inflammatory, ice packs, and in my case...
