    F T/R Competition F- T/R bipod question

    I did not like any of the bipods, you can always make your own. Mine is 6061 billet and carbon fiber. Have not tried it yet though. I agree, these guys in this forum forum provide real thoughtful, useful, insightful responses.

    Recommend me a neck turner?

    After much research I just got the K&M with the pilot jack and the indicator dial. I found it best to clamp it to the bench and use a drill with the chuck removed from the handle. It is designed to unbolt from the handle for that purpose. Done with 300 cases, 700 more to go. I expand & urn &...

    A tale of two guns / tight bore vs. standard bore

    Reading this, given the two choices bore size = .3001" & bore = .2991" with the same groove size groove size = .3080", in this specific case there was little change in pressure, no mention of accuracy or precision results. I have to assume if there is little velocity difference there is some...

    FN SPR am I expecting to much ?

    Definitely check barrel for chrome issues. My SPR would shoot under 1/2 groups, problem is shoot 20 rounds and the groups would wander and every time I pulled the trigger it was like someone kicked the barrel to the left. No hop, just a hard jerk to the left. People will say it is technique...

    New Remington 700 coming out.

    Exactly... I saw that at the top and said, that's not new, that been out for a while if that is true that it is just a rebadge, reports I read are that it looks a lot better than it shoots. Bordered on awful. Looks to me to be a rebadge of an existing product though.

    Where to start with a custom rifle build?

    I vote for Kieth at Phoenix Custom Rifles to build it. A rifle is more than just the parts. Bruno's has in stock actions and McMillan stocks as well as Krieger Barrels right this second. Good luck!

    F T/R Competition F- T/R bipod question

    Ahh got it you all just squese the ears not the bag itself. For those who use a board for the bipod, can the board have spikes, like golf shoes to keep it from moving. Not that own needs that I am jsut curious about the finer points of the rule in regard to afixing the bipod board to teh earth.

    F T/R Competition F- T/R bipod question

    Can you squeeze the Protektor #41 type of bag with heavy sand in it to get elevation? Tried at Brunos at it seems difficult to manipulate in that manner.

    F T/R Competition Turn new brass

    I measured my Lapua brass and it is pretty dang consistent and given that it will fire form, it intuitively better to just size the neck for the first firing and then go through all those steps once it has been fire formed. Yep same article here too. Got all those piece except the case trimmer...

    F T/R Competition Turn new brass

    While there are varying opinions I realize. I am looking to heae on this forum with those that shoot competitively since that experience will yield different answers than that of the desert or steel recreational shooter. When you get new brass, Lapua, do you turn the necks when new before...

    McMillan adjustable cheek rests

    If you all have not seen his work, check into it. Frankly it looks better than a factory job, beats saddles and pads and the price is shockingly reasonable.

    McMillan adjustable cheek rests

    If you expect thumb screws to not come loose with tightened with the thumbs your bound to be disapointed and perhaps do not recognice the design for what it is. It is what it is, thumb screws.... 2 options, use a pair of pliers and snug the bolts down, you need the metal screws to slightly...

    WOOOAAA Talk about being on the wrong side of a barrel! OUCH!

    Best .308 Rifle for $2000

    Savage has a few f class rifles in 308 that will shoot like "custom" guns but costs about 1200. Down side for some is it does not look "tactical" with digital cammo and ar pistol grip and oversize muzzle brake if that is a requirement. Check them out. They are tack drivers, look under the...

    Winchester to Lapua load data?

    I am hearing .5 to 1.5 grain less. Jives with my 3% less guestimate. Interisted in hearing what you all saw through your own load development as a difference. It sets a frame of reference for me. Nothing more, nothing less. Just information. Thanks!

    Winchester to Lapua load data?

    Thanks all.

    Winchester to Lapua load data?

    Of course yes. The question was if Winchester = "X" for the max load then Lapua = "X-Y". I am looking for the answer to "X-Y". I need that to "measure" as you state. 3%-5% less than stated Winchester Max as the upper limit is in-line with what Varmint slayer said which was 3%. Of course I have...
