    Chargemaster crapped out again

    I did some more research and found he wants 3 grand for one now! Not that I'm cheap, but wow...too rich for my blood.

    Cci br2's in a .300 win mag.... No go!!

    I tried std primers in my 300Win with stick powder, but have never seen any improvement in SD or vertical. Maybe its too cold here?

    Neck size turning

    Turning the necks can be a bit of a rabbit hole. You can run into problems with bullet tension and reloading dies. If you are sure you want to do this then you need to know how and why. Once you know why you need to know how much, and have solutions to the neck tension problems. Accuracy...

    Neck tension VS crimping

    If what Lee says about crimp offered the slightest increase in accuracy everyone in the precision community would use it...Nobody does. The collet die is fine, but it is not a crimp die. A crimp does not increase pressure in a significant way. I shoot dangerous game bolt action rifles and don't...

    .223 precision build questions. Help me understand.

    I love my 223 bolt! Cheap to shoot, no recoil, accurate as hell, and did I mention cheap to shoot? :) I normally prefer the old school BDL bottom metal, but in this case the Remington feeds like crap so I am upgrading to the Stiller DBM/AI mags. Out to 600 yards the 223 is da bomb. Mine is an...

    Chargemaster crapped out again

    I have been looking at the Prometheus for some time now. Given your load volume I suggest you do the same. The Gen 2 is crazy good. I can't find a website for Prometheus though? Prometheus Gen I and II Powder Dispensers - North Texas Rifle Precision - YouTube

    First Time OCW resulsts and Question

    OCW is good, but if God didn't want you to see it he wouldn't have given you a bughole! :) You can answer that question by retesting and adding a 43.6 (yes that is 0.1 over book max). This would rub Dan the wrong way, but if it was me (sorry Dan :) ) I would test 43.0, 43.2, 43.2, 43.6 in the...

    meplat trimming and pointing bullets

    I tried repointing and trimming 300SMKs and was rewarded with a near 20" increase in drop @1000...I saw a small decrease in vertical, but with the drop in BC I figured I would just loose that advantage in the wind. I then tried repointing without the trimming. This proved just as accurate as...

    Sizing die won't size??

    I assume the die contacts the outer shoulder first because of mismatched tolerances...Sloppy, but no big deal. I would just grind off the die base. Trimming the die wont make it worse Edit: With the undersized headspace it is likely that no die will work...My thoughts anyway

    Most accurate. 50 BMG on market.

    Mine had a hard time seeing 2 MOA and I have seen many others (they are very popular were I live) that shoot about the same. Wilkinsons is on another level accuracy wise...I have no explanation other than he found a bullet they I don't have access to...IDK My new rifle is a single shot...

    Gunsmithing Custom action or trued R700

    The OP is talking about a precision hunting rifle. The rifle has less to do with winning that anybody wants to admit. The action less so. I have attended smaller local shoots (with my $10,000.00 rifles) and been beaten by Bubba with a dirty old Mauser chambered in 7X57. He knew the weather...

    Frustration! Lake city brass

    Not true. We are only talking about 20 thou or less. Even if you went crazy and wacked a full 1/8 inch off the bottom of the die it will still work fine. I have a couple of 300Winchesters. One a match chamber min saami spec and a old Sendero with an incredibly sloppy chamber...and I use the same...

    7 MM WSM or 7 MM Rem Mag

    Any significant difference in accuracy or performance between the 7Rm and WSM is between the ears. I have seen both in rifles more than capably of winning F-Class matches. My personal choice would be the 280 Ackley or the good old 284...Not for mystical performance, but for the Lapua brass.

    Vectronix Terrapin vs Leica 1600 CRF

    I live in one of the wettest places on earth so I switched to the Terrapin from the Swaro and Leicas this year and couldn't be happier with its performance on rainy days that fog out my older LRFs. People at over 1000yds seem easily within its reach. My longest animal is a black bear in light...
