    Sidearms & Scatterguns knife sharpening info from the guru's out there

    Thank you. Honestly I think this katana is too nice for me to screw with myself. I'll cruise some of the sites you mention and find someone who can do it up nice.

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    Ad-hominen attacks are a sure sign of a losing perspective. The man is correct; a person with no prior knowledge of scopes would require either some training, or a few minutes to mess around with it to be able to "float the caps" or set a zero stop on any scope. True, the traditional setscrew...

    155 Scenar in once fired FGGM brass recipe help

    If you're looking to compete past ~600 yards, you'll definitely want to squeeze whatever speed you can from the scenars, while achieving good accuracy of course... The FC brass you're using now will work, but as mentioned already, it'll get beat up pretty quick. Try to score some Winchester...

    Catastrophic Failure

    This depends on your intended end game. If you just want your rifle fixed/made right, then send it to the builder. If you want to pursue damages from sustained injury and medical bills, then do the third party thing. Seems like said third party would need some good credentials if their...

    155 Scenar in once fired FGGM brass recipe help

    Don't fear the loose primer pockets, you'll know it when they're bad because you'll have to look at it to see if you actually just inserted a primer! Even still, not really a problem so long as they don't fall out before the bolt closes on them. In Lapua brass, using Varget, I can get 2975fps...

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    The Marines wouldn't know if they had a problem unless Frank inspected them at a match. Jeez, get with the program, man.

    It will be.

    Catastrophic Failure

    I like to do the same, if its a common SAAMI cartridge. If it is SAAMI, but rare/obscure (say 284 Win) and its frickin tough to find even a crappy $50 box of Super-X, I just load my own from the get go. What if you've got a wildcat?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns knife sharpening info from the guru's out there

    So long as we're talking about sharpening knives... I just got a practitioners-grade Katana, and it needs to be sharpened. How is this best done? Do I need a really long stone, or do I just focus of 4-5" of the blade at a time? Something I should just have a professional do? I understand...

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    Anyone else care to share their differing (and therefore incorrect) experience or opinion? Go get 'em, Sparky! This is amusing!

    Does B&C stock mean improved accuracy?

    I'm unfamiliar with the stock on the hog hunter. However, the BC medalist is a quality unit. No, not as sweet as a McM or Manners, but way cheaper and still very good. Downside is they're a bit heavy. My unmodified 10FP was honestly good for 1moa or maybe a shade better, with Federal Powershok...

    Resizing prior to using a Giraud trimmer.

    Yes. You could also open us the Giraud shell holder a few .001"s with fine sandpaper.

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    Nope, you'll have no idea until Frank makes his Premier-policing rounds at a match.

    7mm choice in an SA - 7-08, 708AI, or 284 ???

    284 is crammed into a short action, even at 2.950" COAL. Bullets must be seated DEEP, and brass prep/donut awareness becomes crucial. It works but I don't advise it. I've written quite a bit about short action 284s, search me. Also, you're going to straight up neuter a 284 with a ~22" barrel...

    Rifle Scopes March Optics Glass Quality

    It's extremely subjective - even when you apply objective measurements/parameters to it. My (primitive) understanding of optics engineering is that resolution and contrast are basically a direct trade off between one another, which is to say if you enhance resolution, you must give up some...

    Catastrophic Failure

    In a perfect world, he should absolutely be able to name them. However, we don't live in a perfect world. It's possible if he names the shop, they'll get butt-hurt and claim he's slandering them, and refuse to rebuild/repair the rifle. It is wise to avoid litigation whenever possible. Anytime...

    Catastrophic Failure

    Yes. I was insinuating that bad/overpressure ammunition was likely *not* the culprit in this failure scenario.

    Catastrophic Failure

    Dumb question, and I mean NO offense by it... The rifle is in fact chambered for 308 Winchester, yes? Not 308 Norma Magnum or something? The barrel has "308 Win." or "308 Winchester" engraved in it??
