    Gunsmithing Anyone have experience with Mitsubishi D720 series vfd setup?

    Find your VFD's manual and follow the instructions for running it with single phase in and 3 phase out. The motor voltage should be set to the appropriate 230-40 volts, not 170. Turning it down to 170 and getting 236 in output makes no sense at all. If it is new from factory,it needs to be set...

    .338 Norma Magnum powder and loads

    Well if 570 is hard to come by in the US. And you shoot in the desert with high temperature fluxiation and low humidity, Retumbo will be a more even performer. The pros of 570 is good load density, and a noteable difference in velocity. VV lot consistency is excellent though and clen burning...

    Will AI AT develop magnum caliber versions?

    The 7 WSM is quite popular in Europe, especially where F class exists, so is the SAUM, and the 300 wsm sees some use. Don't know where you guys get your info from. As for AI in EUrope there are more limited options for the rifles, Sportingservices is the main civilian distributor. Although...

    Well if he has the newest type high precision mic from Mitutoyo, MDH dseries, that gores for a little under 2000 dollars. Those measurements are accurately measureable if your consistent enough, when measuring. Now if they only release a tube version for neck measuring. MDH Micrometer...

    Help with chamber length.

    Well considering the simple fact that the op did'nt mention caliber, i assume from your lengths that you shoot a 308 or case based thereof. Letting brass grow to the optimal trim length in your rifle can have it's advantages, if it's 2.040 the max length, at least if your not very closely...

    Any interest in RWS 300WM Brass???

    Considering that RUAG match is the only brass produced that is better for the 300 WM. And Norma being about the same, it would be wise for the 300 WM crowd to show some interest,for a good source of brass. Nosler brass is softer and of less quality, it's just prepped for better consistency. As...

    Final .284 thoughts?

    Yes indeed the 22.5 is really short for a 284, sticking with the 150-168 gr bullets, and RL 17, VV N560 and 550 will give you better velocity then H4831. If the chamber is cut for the 180 vld with a long freebore, some of the shorter bullets might not give you optimal accuracy though. My...

    Scales and lights

    It's as pointed out above electrical noise, from the lamps that produce this problem. Not the bulbs, but low quality ballasts and transformers, some are worse then others, so it's the internals that can cause issues. changing them to digital versions, will eliminate it. Keep the scale and light...

    7mm Rem Mag Velocity Help

    The first thing i'd try is to change powder. And possibly some fgmm 215 mag primers. Norma brass is as good as it gtes. If your rifle is new it might also pick up speed after a lil while. H-1000 and VV N560 would be my suggestion. My 284 win with a 26 tube is faster then your RM so burning a...

    RCBS Chargemaster Dispenser and Scale Combo on sale at Natchez

    289 is a rather good price. Paid 320 for my last one, just above 500 dollars imported and taxed. Compared to Miday here it's still quite cheap as they retail them for 950$ and they use longer to deliver in country, then Sinclair does form the US. Be glad you don't live here hehe.

    Why clean your brass??

    There are several reasons to clean your brass really, although some are very minor. Keeping the outside of the brass clean is important to not gunk up your dies or ding them. Cleaning the inside, a neck with carbon affects neck tension, and as carbon deposits are uneven it can give you slightly...

    What length do you trim your 308's

    As the chamber length is different from rifle to rifle, as long as it's not made by the same reamer, consistently. You want a Chamber Length Gauge, to measure the max case length, from there you set your desired trim to length, depending how close you want to be, it has it advantages, more...

    Best rear sand bag for field use?

    Triad 's shipping is certainly not bad, 40 dollars for getting a package sent out from the US, filling out the right customs forms, pack it, ship it, and keep it insured and trackable, and taking the time to do the process. I am sure you would be screaming if your bag did not make it to...

    New style Lee hand primer SUCKS!

    21 st century SS priming tool, is certainly the best there is, fit, finish, and quality is top notch, and you have a incredible feel of the primer bottoming out, also adjustable so you can set it to your preference. If you want a primer tray seater, get the 21 st century priming tool square...

    Brass weight sorting

    Another interesting thing to do is measure the actual case volume of your fired brass, and see how much difference there actually is in capacity by H2O weighing, will tell you a lot more then just the weight will. And 1 grain increments is quite standard.

    Why don't we all send an email to Lapua demanding N570, 560 etc…

    Pay 130 us dollars, for one kg of N560, so your prices is really not too bad. US imported Hodgdon is even more expensive. But at least no shortage of VV powders.

    A minimum is a Full length sizing die, and a seater die, if your cleaning brass you also want a decap die. What dies you want is really dependent on your budget and what you want, Whidden FL sizer and seater is the first that comes to my mind if you want quality and is on a budget. Redding...

    Gem Pro readout changing..

    A good beam balance, is always a good tool to have, as it won't stop working or dependent on electricity. Ohaus is really the logical choice in beam balances, and will last a life time. I surely do prefer a digital balance for reloading though, as it's easier to read, responds accurately...
