    What's the full-length sizer doing to my new brass

    Re: What's the full-length sizer doing to my new brass My Forster 308 die has had 10,000+ rounds sized with it. It scores the necks pretty badly, to the point that Dan Warner told me to replace the die when he looked at my dummy rounds I sent in for a re-barrel. I replaced it w a Redding...

    What's the full-length sizer doing to my new brass

    Re: What's the full-length sizer doing to my new brass It is called burnishing. If you want to minimize it, put a little lube on your fingers, spin the neck (not the shoulder) between your fingers, then size. If you are using an expander ball, it is a good idea to keep a tad bit of lube on...

    Re: Bolt handle broken.....now what... There is a term for vee-shaped cuts in metal, that is, non-radiused - STRESS RISER. In order to use their knob thread ID, not only do you reduce the diameter (amount) of the metal, you cut stress risers into it via the threads. Those home made...

    Remedial Bipod Education?

    Re: Remedial Bipod Education? 6-9 is too low for 30 round mags and many field situations. Out here in the west where we rarely shoot off flat ground at a target 5 feet off the deck and level between the shooter and the target, 9-13 is what one commonly sees, and still sometimes we have to...

    Re: 1000 yard plus in North central Colorado? The Marxbury Gulch area in the Pike NF outside of Jefferson (down the 77 Road) is a good make your own range place. Just gotta be careful during hunting season because of the elk and deer hunters roaming around. Grab your Gazetteer, take a left...

    Armalite AR-10 National Match or Gap-10

    Re: Armalite AR-10 National Match or Gap-10 First off, I would not buy anything with an Armalite logo on it. That issue aside, you are comparing apples and oranges. The NM rifle was designed to be compliant with the NRA's highpower Service Rifle rules, which are set around a quasi-M110/Mk12...

    Re: How not to yank the trigger.... Here is another notorious trigger yanker wanker. He got run off here oh gosh 5 years ago. The irony of this vid is he is trying to show how well his 7WSM conversions feed, yet he has 2 FTFs in the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXt58y05nU0

    Rifle Scopes US Optic ST-10

    Re: US Optic ST-10 Easy decision. I had several built to this spec - I called it my "FL" model - the L is for Lupy - after being stymied by their lack of responsiveness to the market need of matching knobs and reticles. ST-10 30MM Fixed Obj 37MM (goes great on about anything including lower...

    Rifle Scopes US Optic ST-10

    Re: US Optic ST-10 I run them both ways. The fixed objective is not a problem out to 1500 meters so far. The trick is you can use the reticle focus to also clear up the down range image at the extremes of distances you use the scope, yet still keep the reticle sharp. The reticle is sharp...

    Re: Blow 2 scopes on a .50 bmg so far...... Having put many rounds out of multiple braked 50s - McM, Serbu, all the Barretts, and fired AI, Montana, Barrett, and Sako 338s, braked and suppressed, I don't know what papers you are referencing, but I know what the two chamberings shoot like.
