    Anyone reload nickel plated rifle brass?

    I have Speer nickel plated in 308. May I ask, were the primer pockets crimped or is that some indentation from stamping? Mine were Gold Dot and appear to have a crimping ring on them but others have told me it is too uniform for a crimp. Also, how did you prep the primer pockets? A Winchester...

    308 125 gr Nosler BT and Varget hand load

    How'd this turn out for you? Sounds like an excellent idea. Those bullets are hard to come by now, though. You can get Sierra 125 gr flat base Match Kings, though.

    How difficult is a pre-fit swap on a Tikka and Savage?

    Yeah, that Freedom of Speech shit sure is crazy! 1st Amendment. So is that 2nd Amendment stuff, too, huh? Yeah, that 1st AND 2nd amendment stuff sure is crazy, especially when they are together, right? 1 AND 2, 2 and 1. Wow. Insane. Can't have that. Trolls. They are everywhere and they take...

    Thanks for the pointer on the AT-X. I'm going to look into it.

    How difficult is a pre-fit swap on a Tikka and Savage?

    I don't want to get rid of the chassis it is in, now, a McRee, which after removing the bag rider, the opposite side face plate, and the picatinny bipod mount rail, is a little over 3 pounds and it quite handy, takes the Tikka mags which I believe are excellent. May just forego the 7mm SS or...

    Shooting at stuff, but further away. I shoot 700 yards now on Wednesdays.

    I apologize for saying you have a little... Sorry about that. When someone takes my money, even if in the form of taxes, especially, and also wants to talk shit, I just start smacking the shit out of them if I can. That's all. Sorry. The unfair tax code is serious business to me. I keep...

    The 7SS or 7 Sherman Short actually looks like an option yet you still need a magnum bolt face so a new bolt is required. I've been reading the specs at Sherman's web site and the cartridge design actually appears to be better than the 7SAUM, though SAUM sounds better than Sherman Short which is...

    So far the only carbon fiber shouldered prefits I can find are Proof and Carbon 6. Are there others that make carbon fiber shouldered prefits?

    I found this at Midwest Gun Works though the LRI bolt is less expensive and more custom: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/s14113080

    How difficult is a pre-fit swap on a Tikka and Savage?

    Haha. Yeah, it's not like I'm poor. I am just a single working stiff with no kids or property so I don't get any of the big socialist stimulus checks that everybody is throwing around right now, buying new cars, making down payments on dachas, or the $1500 a month until December for having...

    How difficult is a pre-fit swap on a Tikka and Savage?

    I heard back from LRI and they said they make new bolts but due to the extractor size don't widen the bolt face like in the video I added above. My next question is going to be "You guys have a Black Friday discount?" ;-) Because they are $375. I'm sure they are worth it but don't know if...

    I emailed them. Somebody also said they are making bolts for Tikkas, too.

    I contacted them about that on someone's recommendation yesterday. Maybe that was you.

    I still have the Tikka CTR stock and bottom metal and with the bolt stop being the difference it is almost like a switch rifle in that regard. Thanks for the info. By the way, in the interest of ounces turn into pounds and pounds into pain, I took the bag rider and opposite side cheek plate as...

    Hunting & Fishing New Hunting Bullets Available

    That's one of my dilemmas. I have a McRee chassis which accepts the CTR mags from the Tikka CTR, which are superior mags if you ask me, for the money that is. The problem is that the overall mag length is 2.958 inches front to back with a mic. In talking with other who seat the longer bullets...

    I've seen that guys have had the bolt face enlarged to accommodate the 7SAUM.
