    Finding "Nodes" on your rifle

    It is worth mentioning that with a custom built rifle, 300 probably won't be far enough. A lot of them still keyhole at that range. Excellent advice on the working backwards. I am going to have to give that a shot next time out.

    Finding "Nodes" on your rifle

    I perform a ladder test. Zero the rifle at 100 and put a large target out at 400-600 yards. Load the charges that you want to test from .2 to .5 grains apart. Fire 3-5 shots of each and note where they land on the target. Some will result in a vertical difference on the target. Some will...

    Cleaning Brass: Sonic v Tumbler w/Stainless Stell Media

    Stainless Steel Media... Stainless Steel Media.... Stainless Steel Media.... You will never go back, I promise. No, it does not work harden the brass. You'll be set with the Rebel 17 kit.

    260 Rem Load Worries

    No moly coating on the bullets. Barrel is a 26" Krieger M24/M40 Contour 1:8". I will post some pictures of the brass when I get home. There could definitely be some signs that I have not yet experienced, and wouldn't know what to look for.

    Nope, nothing. Bolt doesn't stick at all.

    260 Rem Load Worries

    Gents, I got my custom 260 build back and started load work up this weekend. My best group was less than .25 MOA with the hottest load that I tested: 140gr Berger Hybrid seated .005 off the lands (2.214 OAL measured from Ogive) 44.5 grains of H4350 getting 2960 fps New Lapua Brass Fed...

    Range Report Mad Props to Joe Collier and Cerakote Maintenance Questions

    Howdy Friends, I got to go out and shoot my Collier Rifles Remington 700 today for the first time (260 Rem). The man builds one mean machine! I was getting 1/4 MOA groups with every load I tested. How is a brother supposed to do load development when every one of them key holes!?!? I will post...

    Lapua 308 Win Brass in Savage Model 10FP

    So if I already FL resized the brass and the headspace is off, is there anyway to fix it other than trying another die or different brass in the gun? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lapua 308 Win Brass in Savage Model 10FP

    Alright... I FL resized and trimmed my 308 Win Lapua brass to 2.005". I ran it through my Sinclair expander die and neck turned it to .015". My Hornady OAL gauge measured 2.242" to the lands. My assembled round is 2.227" (what should be .015" off the lands). I'm getting a stiff bolt...

    Rotary Tumbler w/ Stainless Media?

    I believe the Rebel 17 has more capacity. The inside is actually thick rubber so it is extremely quiet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    what good is a spotting scope without a decent (front focal) reticlue

    Good recoil management allows you to see your "complete misses" through the rifle scope anyway... I use my spotting scope to fine tune my hits on steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rotary Tumbler w/ Stainless Media?

    Howdy Gents, I picked up one of the ultrasonic cleaners from Harbor Freight a while back and I'm fairly unimpressed. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the rotary tumblers that use the stainless steel media. I've been looking at some of the packages listed here: Package Kits...

    What length do you trim your 308's

    This wasn't FGMM, but I definitely shot it in that rifle. I believe these were once fired Federal cases. That rifle has since been rebuilt, but I still have those reloads. I'll pull them out tomorrow, disassemble a few and let you know. Maybe they needed a shoulder bump or something if that...

    308 to 260 Conversion

    Update: I was goofing around with my scrap brass again the other night and had one of those, "I wonder if..." moments. I decided to skip the quickness of the Hornady Lock n Load Spray on Case Lube and pull out the old RCBS pad set up. I ran a few 308s across the pad, lubed the inside of the...

    What length do you trim your 308's

    Definitely 2.005. 2.015 seems really long. If I remember correctly, my Remington 700 SPS started having stiff bolt closure around 2.010. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
