    Forster Co-Ax.....Finally!

    Re: Forster Co-Ax.....Finally! Dumb question. - Can you use Hornady lock rings for the Co-Ax? I like the hornady style ring with the circumference clamping as opposed to the set screw into the threads type. The hornadys also have wrench flats if you're using them on a regular thread in...

    I pulled a stupid stunt today

    Re: I pulled a stupid stunt today Holy damn, I figured when I first began reading that it'd likely given you a surface cut or stopped within an inch of the surface. Those #35's must have a lot more snot than the LR's. I'm still laughing a bit that the deputy was given the word that you...

    Which brass is better...?

    Re: Which brass is better...? For 600 yard prone my choices in order would be; 1. Winchester (sort by weight and set aside the highest and lowest, also is ready to go with no primer pocket swadging and crimp removing) 2. LC sorted by weight 3. Lapua (last due to price, I just can't seem to...

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    Re: Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting I'll toss my two cents in the hat. I'm using a Kowa with an 82mm lens. Not the current model, the one just before it. at 200 I can see .224 unless I'm on the shaded end of the range at the end of the day and complicated with a little...

    Killing a 40x value

    Re: Killing a 40x value Damn, I haven't thought my 40x and xb were worth that much yet. Can you still get a barreled action from CMP? I was tempted to get one and build it up in a McM. I don't blame the smith. Turning down work as a smith is not a bad idea if he thinks the work will...

    Speer Target Match Grade Tips (Dont Buy)

    Re: Speer Target Match Grade Tips (Dont Buy) 144, I'm sorry but when you use "Tips" instead of bullets your post lost credibility to me. Using informal and obviously unappreciated jargon like that in this forum doesn't usually go over too well. You certainly know that now. Moving on, do go...

    Nosler Competition Bullets

    Re: Nosler Competition Bullets Economics has caused me to entirely switch to CC's for the AR service rifle loads. The gun doesn't seem to mind. My bolt action .223 actually preferred the 52 BTHP CC to the green box. My .22-250 ate both and were .3 grain apart for happiness.

    308 CQ load for 3 gun

    Re: 308 CQ load for 3 gun I would try some 125 Speer TNT's. I have a box of 250 for my garand short line load practice but can't help you on an AR light load. You could check the load data section here and I'd also ask over on the ar15 site.

    Lapua .260 Rem brass in 2011

    Re: Lapua .260 Rem brass in 2011 I chuckle at the Lapua advertising........ <span style="font-style: italic">....with the .260 already a favorite of demanding competitive shooters...</span> Well we were a bit persuasive so I guess demanding is ok. I know I sent an email to corporate last...

    260 Lapua brass

    Re: 260 Lapua brass I'd like to try some but I can still use my Rem/Black Hills brass another season. I still have boxes of fresh black hills on the shelf. Sure would like to try it but I'd hope to see a better price than that. I don't expect it, but I'd like it ;-)

    Need help with headspace bushing size

    Re: Need help with headspace bushing size I called Hornady on a similar question. Can't remember if I was asking about .303 British or 7.62x45r but they pretty much said to use any bushing that fits on the slope of the shoulder. Of course those are both headspaced on the rim so they...

    Keep breaking .223 dies. Help

    Re: Keep breaking .223 dies. Help I'm no fan of one stuck lube but I'll throw out what I learned to make it work. (I will never buy that shit again) - let all the solvent carrier evaporate before sizing (10 minutes should work well) - use more than you think is necessary. You'll know how...

    Forming .260 brass

    Re: Forming .260 brass you still have some variables to consider. What parent case? .308 will need some reaming or turning or you'll have to fat a neck for a safe bullet release upon firing. Are you going to thin it before or after said sizing operation? Personally I'd use WW 7mm-08 and...

    Emergency Stuck Case (Fixed Thanks)

    Re: Emergency Stuck Case do your self a favor and clean the die interior with a bore brush an bore solvent to make sure you don't have a smear of brass stuck to the die's wall. That will only cause some more grabbing. toss the hornady shit in the garbage. if you cannot abide by the waste...
