    ? re: amount of shoulder bump

    Thanks for the head's up--the video you posted wasn't the relevant one, but later on in the series I found the info I was looking for: Mail Call Mondays #27 - Once Fired Brass Prep, RCBS Precision Mic, Hornady Headspace Gauge, Resizing - YouTube

    Rifle Scopes new Vortex to be released... looks like a new Razor line

    Regardless of what the new scope is, I really hope they go to 34 mm tubes vs. 35mm. Not that a 35mm tube affects function, but I'd really like to go with the direct-mount Spuhr for my TRG-42 and that's not a possibility with a 35mm Razor HD 5-20...

    PCP Ammunition set for limited release of polymer cased .308 ammunition

    Can you give some background to the testing protocol that allows you to claim 30% greater accuracy? Also, how cold is "extreme" to you--if that effectively closes off sales to folks in snowy states for 6-9 months of the year, that's not a good thing...

    ? re: amount of shoulder bump

    When using a neck-sizing die set and a body die to bump the shoulders back of fired .338LM brass (that's how I ass-u-me shoulder-bumping is done...), how does one control the amount of shoulder bump? I've read that 0.002" is a good amount to set shoulders back but do you have to use Redding...

    This was an email I wrote to my boss since she was asking about reloading equipment for her husband for Christmas. YMMV, but I think it's broken out fairly well...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25 elevation?

    Shoot--at my density altitude (normal long-range shooting area is at ~7,000' ASL) 19 mils gets me to 2040 yards, per Bulletflight, and that's plenty.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25 elevation?

    DOH!!!!! I'm not sure what I was thinking but I just checked on steiner.de and they say 26.0 mils of elevation so I'm not sure where that 19 mil figure came from... (facepalm)

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25 elevation?

    Has anyone had an issue with the kinda/sorta limited elevation travel (19.something mils) in the Steiner 5-25x56? I'm looking at one of them for my TRG-42 in .338LM, probably in a canted Spuhr mount, but the amount of travel compared to the 30-ish mils available in the other scopes on my list...

    Dillon 650 indexer replacement?

    Yep, that's the part. I looked in the manual and found an exploded diagram so I was able to get the shellplate disassembled and the old indexer out but when I tried to put the new one in, the pin on the indexer where the return spring attaches broke so I'll be on the horn with Dillon again...

    Dillon 650 indexer replacement?

    Does anyone know how (or can point me to a set of instructions on how) to replace the indexer on a Dillon XL650 press? It was a damned good thing I ordered a spare parts kit that came in today since, while getting the machine up and running again after a ~5 year hiatus, the indexer broke. My...

    Federal .308 vs 7.62 brass?

    Now that I have my reloading setup up-and-mostly running again, I've got a question about brass. For loading precision boltgun ammo, is it ok to use the casings from Federal Gold Medal .308 with "FC .308 WIN" headstamps and Federal Gold Medal 7.62x51 with "FC 11" headstamps interchangeably or...

    Rifle Scopes Move over B.E.A.S.T., the UTG has arrived!!

    I've actually thought about buying one of the craptastic red Chinese scopes (brand unimportant) in a blister pack at Walmart when I get my .338LM to see if I could break it in less than one magazine's worth of ammo...
