    Alex Arms short throat

    I have an AA chambered barrel on my Grendel. With factory Hornady Amax's, using the Hornady OAL gauge and Hornady comparator, the rounds are right up against the lands on a factory round. I have a box of Lapua Scenars that I am about to load up but just by looking at the profile of the round, I...

    First time loads for my AR15

    OH oh oh....... (with my hand raised)....... Your AR has what is called a floating firing pin. When the BCG comes forward after firing a round, loading a round by use of the charging handle or releasing the BCG from the bolt release, the inertia created from the forward movement of the BCG...

    New lesson learned today

    You guys are cracking me up..... Last night the Retumbo on my .338 rounds and tonight I damn near did the same thing with some XBR going into some .223 rounds. Lucky enough I checked right before I poured. I am going to kick my self in the ass if it happens again this week......lol.......

    New lesson learned today

    Check lists are a good thing to have along with check and check again before you start your procedures for loading. One easy oversight that should either be at the very first of the list before loading is to CLOSE the dump window before putting powder in your scale, that is if you have an auto...

    Chronograph Reccomendations

    The Oehler system looks good and I like the double readings but what I don't get is with today's technology, why not do a little redesign to the system and add the functionality of an SD card so that one doesn't have to carry the printer setup. Being able to dump your readings directly into...

    Where did all the LR Primers go?

    If you don't mind the price, keep an eye on Bruno's. They have been the most consistent that I have seen having supplies in stock and relatively quick shipping. It stings a little but I know I don't have to wait a month for something if I need it. Let me add that I don't agree with some of...

    Considering taller press for 338LM

    I have a Hornady press and have been pleased with it thus far. No issues with space getting 338 rounds out.

    recommendation for a 338 lapua

    running 300 gr Bergers, depending on where you get bullets from, approx. .60 cents per round running Fed 215 primers, depending on where you get them from, approx. .05 cents per round H1000 or Retumbo, Say an average of 88 gr per load. 7000 gr in a pound and using a high price of $35 a pound...

    AICS stock style differences?

    Also noticed in the pics is the spigot mount for the bipod. The AICS I purchase for a Rem clone has the large block cutout but yet it has the extended spigot mount. I read somewhere once upon a time that there is a replacement that can be put in place of the extended mount.

    Which muzzle brake and why?

    I have an APS Pain Killer on my .338 and it tamed the recoil down tremendously. You could put rounds down range all day without shoulder fatigue. Lots of options out there to choose from. Good luck. Painkiller Muzzle Brakes

    Ammo Pleanty Of It

    Just go to GunBot.net web link. You will find many places with inventory of many calibers. To back up the thought that supply lines are starting to replenish, the last couple of trips to Cabela's has proven to be surprising. They have had a decent selection of ammo and believe it or not, powder...

    First .338 hand loads down the tube

    Went out this past weekend and let a buddy of mine finish off the Corbon loaded 300 gr rounds on my new build. The Corbons were the first 20 rounds on the barrel. After he finished up I put my first hand loads down the tube. All loads are on the lower end of loading as these are my first ever...
