    Seating Die question 30-06

    I use a Hornady Seating die and it leaves a ring around my bullets bellow the tip. It particularly happens with 208 gr A-Max bullets, but it also occurs with 180 gr Accubonds. It seems to be worst with compressed loads. Does anyone have any fixes or recommendations. If I change dies, any...

    Suppressors Night Sights for my Kimber

    Re: Night Sights for my Kimber I'm a fan of Kensight. They are on a lot of premium 1911's . They are wire EDM cut, and built like a tank. KenSight uses Trijicon inserts in their sights. I had two sets of meprolights break on me.

    Gunsmithing Any 30-06 shooters out there?

    Re: Any 30-06 shooters out there? But I'm also looking for sub-moa performance life of the barrel. The rifle and myself, can shoot 0.5-0.6" 5 shot groups, and I'm wondering how long that will last. I'm not however looking for benchrest comp. accuracy life of the barrel which is probably...

    Gunsmithing Any 30-06 shooters out there?

    I recently had S&S precision re-barrel my rifle with a Kreiger Remington Varmit Contour with 5R rifling in 30-06. Stick and his crew at S&S precision are primarily benchrest shooters and they told me that the barrel will last around 1900 rounds. That seems low for a 30-06, does anyone have...

    Gunsmithing Bore sighters

    Re: Bore sighters The Leupold is basically a prism, and as long as you place it in the right ballpark on the muzzle the image is the same. Its pretty repeatable, at least on my rifles. I just write down the location of the crosshairs on the grid, and when I move a scope around, I move the...

    Gunsmithing Bore sighters

    Re: Bore sighters I'm actually a fan of the Leupold zero point. It works pretty good for me, and when I move scopes around I can get back on target quickly (usually within an inch vertical and horizontal change)

    Rifle Scopes Good Torque Wrench

    Re: Good Torque Wrench I've got a harbor freight torque wrench (ft-lbs) that I bought to apply torque to the nut that holds my lawn mower blade when I replaced it. I'm not impressed with it. It is cheap, hard to read, and the click when you reach the torque you select is not positive. It...

    Re: storing your dies I just store them in their original case and keep them in a drawer in my reloading bench. My bench is in the garage and the rest of the equipment is covered with olive drab laundry bags. I live in Wichita falls Texas and it can sometimes get humid and hot(105+)

    Re: What iPhone(3g/3gs) case do you use? I like the "ifrogz" case, it slim, solid, low profile, and fits in your front pocket nice.

    good non electric scale?

    Re: good non electric scale? I now use an RCBS 5-0-5 scale. I was unsing a Hornady Auto Charge, but I got so sick of it overthrowing charges(tried the straw trick and reprogramming it), and it wasn't consistent enough for me. The beam scale is never dependant on temp, warm-up time, and...
