    Sporter barrel vs. Varmint barrel

    I prefer the heavy 26. Not that you can't get a good light barrel to shoot, your chances are better with the heavy. If you like the Savage checkout ER Shaw Barrels you may find what you like. Both calibers you list are killers.

    Chrony Recommendation

    I have used a Shooting Chrony for years and IMHO believe it has served me well. I had the opportunity to run it with an Ohler during load development and found it to be consistent. The speeds it gave me were slightly slower than the Ohler but within 30-40fps and it was just a few ft downrange...

    Help me pick my new dies for 7mm Rem Mag

    The type s bushing works for me. How much you bump simply depends on how far down you screw your die. You can get a set of headspace(bump) gauges or use your rifle to determine how much you want to bump your shoulders back. I like to set my sizing die so that I have just a little tension when I...

    Redding has instructions for selecting bushings on their site. Basically bullet diameter+2 x neck thickness-.002. I would get at least two if not three.

    Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag

    The Sinclair Neck Turner I have also has a neck expander that is a .002 larger making it easy to fit on the turn pilot, not sure what Forster has. I prefer to turn necks before sizing and taking off only the high spots(50-75% of the circumference).
