    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Reticle Options

    Thanks for all the input! Yeah, Im shooting a 6.5CM now so Im think 600m and in are going to be my ethical limits (likely stick to 500 and in). Im looking very closely at the Leupold Vx5HD 3-15x44 and have been considering either the Fireplex or the Windplex reticles. This will be my...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Reticle Options

    So Im currently building a lightweight hunting rifle off of a Tikka Lite in 6.5CM. For glass Im still open to options but one thing Im finding is that its very difficult to find a mil based scope in a lightweight package, and also that majority of hunters are using a duplex style reticle. This...

    Dillon 550 Shallow Priming

    Hey all, looking for some insite into a problem Im having with my Dillon 550C. Im depriming and priming as a single step on my press, but find it primes too shallow. Im only .001 below flush on average, and would like it to be .003-.004 Im using once fired Lapua brass and used a primer pocket...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Anyone used a long action T3x for a 6.5 Creedmoor? This is for a hunting rifle, not tactical (I have another build for that). I know I can order a short action bolt stop, but wondering if I need to or if I can get away with the long version. If not, thats cool, just thought Id see what others...

    Gunsmithing What does bolt fluteing do?

    “Military Grade” always means top quality....said nobody whos ever served. Honestly though, if it comes with it, sweet. If it doesnt, Im not going to drop $ on getting it done.

    Lead and nitrates

    I highly doubt the level of passive exposure to nitro in smokeless powder would cause any symptoms unless you’re exceptionally sensative to it. We use Nitro as a sublingual and topical med, but all are done in a concentrated means (localized into one area). The exposure from pouring powder...

    Progressive Pressure Signs

    While doing load development, I noticed my loads began to show signs of primer cratering and ejector sweep after 15+ rounds. These were done 5 at a time then the bbl allowed to cool. I had no issue with my previous development, and similar velocity so it surprises me to see these. Im...

    Movie Theater They shall not grow old.

    We stumbled upon a theatre showing it while travelling through a small town in New Zealand. One of the best war docs Ive seen in awhile. Very well done.

    Recommend a decaping die

    Mighty Armoury Magnum Never thought a decapping die would be a thing of beauty. Also love the ability to swap from small to large so easily. This is my one and only decapping die and I use it for all my different calibers. Had the Lee but was such a pita not having a small flash hole pin...

    Nikon’s new Rangefinders

    Primer Recommendations

    Damn, I never thought of that. I was toying with the idea of getting a quick change plate from inline fab and a wall mount so I could store it off my bench when not in use, but then Id have this handle sticking out, just waiting to be ran into or pulled. If you dont mind, would you either post...

    Primer Recommendations

    Looking into whether or not I should move from priming on my 550C to either a handheld unit or a bench top unit. If my lotto numbers came up Id go for the CPS, but unfortunately I have yet to do so. Ive been fairly happy with my dillon, but sometimes wonder if having better feel would help...

    Chargemaster Lite- Need help from group

    My first Lite had an issue with the scale. A call to RCBS and it was in the mail, with another on its way back to me the same day. They sent me a cheque for the cost of shipping too. All in all, the new one is spot on and works great. Sounds like a defect with the machine. Id call CS and see...

    Hello from Canada

    Welcome! Its an awesome forum, and if you hang around you’ll learn a lot. The search feature is actually really good here, but dont worry about asking stupid questions (theres even a forum for that). Where abouts in Canada? How much shooting experience?
