    Actions: Surgeon, Defiant, Badger? Equal in quality?

    I'm quite sure those are "real BAT actions" made in Rathdrum, Idaho just like any other BAT. No need to discredit Jamie, he knows his shit.

    How many power lineman hang around this site?

    Currently working for Kansas City Power and Light local 1464. Was a Local 2 guy for Ameren around the St. Louis area for 7 years or so. Some days it's the best job in the world. Some days it's not. :)

    6mmbr loading dies.

    Check Harrell's out. They stock dies for the 6BR in several different sizes. Just send them some fired brass, and they'll send you some nice dies. There not much more than cookie cutter dies.

    (Nearly) Instant Karma

    Perfect example of justice served. I wish folks could get away with protecting each other like that here in the states. I'm not sure that would be justified in some states.

    Missing 777

    Sounds like the aussies may have spotted some debris via satellite imagery. Have to wait and see I suppose. For the sake of all involved, I hope this is it.

    Missing 777

    I just don't think it would be possible to successfully steal and conceal an aircraft this large. To many people and resources would be used. I'm not saying the plane wasn't hijacked. But no way it landed somewhere with 240 passengers and no one is talking about it. To many people would be...

    Can't you remove the rail and replace the Allen screws with studs?

    Lapua's consistency downhill?

    Haha. Well I better not do that. I'm new to reloading and the first batch that I had been working were all nearly identical in length. This recent batch had quit a bit of variation. I guess that's not unusual.

    Lapua's consistency downhill?

    The batch of 6.5x47L brass I just opened is much worse. The shortest was 1.8365 and longest was 1.8475. There wasn't really any consistency at all. I don't know what to do with them really.

    6.5x47 Lapua Brass specs?

    I opened a new blue box of 6.5x47 Lapua brass the other night to do some measuring and was kind of surprised. I assumed I would not find much variation in OAL and I would just trim to the shortest case found. I was surprised to find that the shortest case measured was 1.8365, and the longest...

    What secuirty system do you use while away?

    Holy Shit. Am I the only one that needs to hear this story? I at least hope he didn't do it on the carpet.

    GemPro 250 Digital Scale - Awesome!!

    Does anyone find it effective to remove the pan after trickling up to the correct amount, then setting the loaded pan on the scale to confirm its weight?

    Robert Gradous and Bartlein barrels sure get the job done!!

    Outstanding Joe! What kind of velocity are you getting with the hybrids? It seems like a lot of people claim the 140's aren't suited for the 6.5x47L. It looks like you do quite well with them. :)

    6.5x47L sinclair bump gauge insert?

    Do you get more consistent measurements with the hornady? Just curious, I'm just getting started with my reloading and trying to do as much research as I can to buy the right tools the first time. Thanks.

    6.5x47L sinclair bump gauge insert?

    Thank you sir. The 6.5x47L has a 30° shoulder as well. I thought it used the shoulder for the measurement but Google had me scratching my head. Thanks.

    6.5x47L sinclair bump gauge insert?

    Anybody know what size to use for 6.5x47L? There is one that says .308 family but it says it has a 20° shoulder angle. Then there are 2 that say they have a 30° shoulder, one says "17 fireball, 22/6mm PPC and BR, 204 ruger". The other says "7mm and 30 br,RUM's up to .338". Neither one seems...

    Attack On The Grid...

    I've worked for two large utility company's in the Midwest for the last 8 years. If I had to guess, the main reason this didn't become a big story was that the utility company was trying to keep it quiet. If people knew how vulnerable our substations were this would happen a lot more. I...

    Best shooting truck for me??

    I think after politics, 4x4's are the most debated topic in my run of buddies. Just take your time and do some research. There are a few off road forums that are pretty similar to this one. Actually you'd be better off digging around on one of them for a while to get some insight. Just be...
