    Look up Caledonia land claim dispute if you're interested. It's a native reserve/reservation here in Canada about 10 minutes down the road from my location and this kind of crap has been going on for years. All the cheap cigarettes and gasoline a man can handle though and they are happy to sell...

    Odd noise during Full length sizing (video and pics included)

    So looks like those of you who guessed not enough lube (that's what she said right ;-) are indeed correct looks like I was just being too conservative with the amount I was using. I cleaned the die out with brake cleaner and fresh cloth patches just to be sure there wasn't something stuck in the...

    Odd noise during Full length sizing (video and pics included)

    This time I used the hornady unique paste style lube and rolled the cases around in a new Tupperware container with thumb sized smear of the case lube in the container. They felt slick enough but perhaps they need a bit more. I may go back to the tried and true lube pad and rolling cases on...

    Odd noise during Full length sizing (video and pics included)

    Hey Guys, I am running into an issue with both Lapua and Alpha Munitions brass in 6.5 Creedmoor. This is once fired brass that I am re-sizing down by .002" measured at the datum line on the shoulder. I have tried a few things to figure out what I am doing wrong here but am still encountering...

    Rifle Scopes Reversing a Spuhr Mount

    Yeah thinking about doing just that, I'm up in Canada so not sure about dealing with shipping back and forth across the border but we've got some other gun forums here that I may try to do that.

    Rifle Scopes Reversing a Spuhr Mount

    Sorry to be clear the Tikka I'm not so concerned about it's whether reversing the 20 MOA mount and mounting it backwards on the Impact action would effectively cancel things out to 0 MOA and allow me to run the S&B PMII without a whole bunch of cant in the setup.

    Rifle Scopes Reversing a Spuhr Mount

    Hey Gang, This may be a really dumb question but it's nagging me so thought I would ask here. I have two rifles one is a Tikka (308) with 0 MOA rail that has a 34mm 20 MOA Spuhr sitting on it with a S&B PMII. The second rifle is an Impact 737 (6.5 Creed) with 20 MOA built into the rail, it has...

    Lapua Projectiles Load Data Source

    Despite a pile of digging around online I can't seem to find any load data books for Lapua projectiles for different powders outside of Vihtavuori at this link https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/?cartridge=95 I'm looking for load data for 139grain OTM Scenars that are...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 2.5-20x50mm Mounting Options - Does Spuhr Fit

    Here is the reply I got from Spuhr overnight actually, they were really quick to respond. Thank you kindly. If you will be using a stock which does not cover the top of the barrel I would recommend the SP-3001. If you will be using a chassis system that covers the barrel the SP-3006 – or even...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 2.5-20x50mm Mounting Options - Does Spuhr Fit

    Evening gang I've got a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50mm on its way to me and I am looking at mounting options it's going to be sitting on an Impact Precision 737R with 20 MOA into the rail as part of the action. Barrel is a 26 inch Kreiger MTU profile. Looking to see if anything from Spuhr will fit...

    Ha! That's from my home town, North Bay, Ontario. The funnier part is the local bible association that is literally right next to the joint.

    Round 2 - More AI Questions - Too much elevation & Trying to Make a Buying Decision

    Thanks guys the shop actually got back to me last night with pricing on doing the conversion between LA and SA action calibers and what is needed. I quickly shit my pants, went back to bed to think on it some more ;-) Thanks for the replies

    Round 2 - More AI Questions - Too much elevation & Trying to Make a Buying Decision

    Another question for this group, I am still eyeing up an AI but am wondering if I were to go with an AXMC in 300 Win Mag (shop that sells AI here has one in stock). To use a short action calibre like 6.5 or 308 I suspect I will need to also buy a different bolt head or a whole new bolt? Any...

    Round 2 - More AI Questions - Too much elevation & Trying to Make a Buying Decision

    Thanks guys, for the muss and fuss of it I'll likely just grab another Spuhr with 0 MOA to make life easier. Appreciate the replies.

    Round 2 - More AI Questions - Too much elevation & Trying to Make a Buying Decision

    Hey Guys, Considering an AIAX 308 that's in stock at a dealer here in Canada and it has a 20 MOA rail on it (I've only looked at it online so not sure if the rail can be removed/replaced) I have an existing scope (S&B PMII 2-20X50mm) that is sitting in a Spuhr mount that has 20 MOA built into...

    Really dumb AI Rifle Question

    Thanks for all the guidance gang, appreciate it. We only have one shop in this country that sells AI rifles, limited selection so most people who shoot them up here import from the US retailers and pay the import fees and duty charges.
