    Re: Old Primers As long as they have been stored properly they last a long time. In my reloading room I have shotshell and CCI lg rifle primers that I got from my father when he reloaded in the early 1960's.They fire just fine.

    TRG 22 Muzzle Brake

    Re: TRG 22 Muzzle Brake The factory break does a good job.I an not a recoil wimp but I like how it keeps the rifle from jumping around off the bench. Rifle just seems to stay put with the break on.

    RCBS Lube Die

    Re: RCBS Lube Die I have and use 2 of these dies 223 and 30 cal. Havent had any problems with them, alot easier than the old lube pad. What I have noticed is you have to keep the 30 cal well lubed or you might get a case stuck in the size die.

    Primer interchangability?

    Re: Primer interchangability? Switching primers is no problem. Reduce a little and look for pressure signs as you go up to your original charge wieght. NEVER switch rifle primers for pistol primers, ie: sm pistol for sm rifle, lg pistol for lg rifle. The only time it gets confusing is in some...

    Trigger for FN SPR

    Re: Trigger for FN SPR I put a Jewell in mine. Love it, a big improvment over stock trigger. Anytime you are trying to shoot little groups you need a real good trigger and a light trigger pull. Go to a benchrest match, there triggers are in the 1-2oz range. Try to shoot in the 1s or smaller...
