    Gunsmithing Vertical Crosshair to Barrel Bore

    Re: Vertical Crosshair to Barrel Bore Killer Spade 13 ...... If your horizontal crosshair is level and your rifle is canted 30 degrees, your rifle would need to always be fired while it's canted at 30 degrees. Some of the top High Power shooters actually do this to get into a more ergonomic...

    Federal versus Winchester Brass in .308win

    Re: Federal versus Winchester Brass in .308win The brass (at the neck) is .0015" thicker on Federal cases than Winchester. This is good to know, because it affects your neck tension. That's one of the main reasons I prefer the Redding S-Type (bushing) dies. You can adjust your neck tension...

    Gunsmithing Vertical Crosshair to Barrel Bore

    Re: Vertical Crosshair to Barrel Bore This is what I use, and it's simple to operate. It's a very powerful magnet that sits on your scope base. Just use it to level your rifle, then rotate your scope to align the vertical crosshair with a hanging string. It's strong enough to lift a...

    Question on neck tension

    Re: Question on neck tension Spend a few extra bucks, and get a FL "bushing" die from Redding, RCBS or Forster. The whole idea of having diffenert size buchings is to control neck tension. That also allows you to shoot a different brand of brass that usually has a different neck...

    This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks!

    Re: This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks! The picture above clearly shows that case head separation begins on the inside of a case. Case head separations are caused by pushing the shoulder back too far. When this happens, the shoulder gets blasted forward as it fills out the...

    How would you develop a load for two rifles?

    Re: How would you develop a load for two rifles? When handloads need to be compatable with more than one rifle, I use the Digital Headspace Gauge to examine both rifle chambers. Then I load for the rifle with the shortest chamber. It just takes a few seconds to set your die height.

    Does anyone know where I can find a set of flip-up lens caps for a Leupold Spotting Scope (Wind River model). It's easy to find them to fit the rear eyepiece, but I can't find anyone that makes a flip-up lens cap large enough (2.890" diameter) for the front lens.
