    Neck sizing vs Full length dies

    Does it cure baldness as well? The problem with the Collet Die is that you can't easily adjust neck tension with it. You could certainly machine it to adjust it, but that defeats the purpose. As for neck cracking and case length growth... those are not problems inherent to the die. Necks crack...

    Neck sizing vs Full length dies

    I guess I am one of the only ones here that sizes in two steps. Here is an article: The Rifleman's Journal: Reloading: Two-Step Sizing and Concentricity Basically, you neck size first with a neck die that gets you half way from fired dimension to final dimension (as far as neck diameter). The...

    308 & varget won't group?

    My experience tells me to first select the bullet, then the powder. And my 308 barrel does not like the 178. It likes the 175 SMK as well as the 185 Berger Hybrid. The 155 scenar not so much, nor the 185 Berger Juggernaut. If you find the right bullet, the powder will make less of a difference...

    Huber 2 stage triggers.

    I just bought one recently, and when I let off and take up the slack again, it feels the same. I think they are not 2-stage triggers in the conventional sense, but functionally, it feels like the Anschutz 2-stage trigger I have on one of my rimfire rifles. They are expensive, but I have read...

    F T/R Competition Stolle F-Class or Barnard P for F/TR build?

    I actually have an LRA that I won in a match, but it is mean to attach to a front stud and all of my rifles are set up for a pic rail, so I haven,t gotten to use it. This setup will likely have a front stud unless I can save some weight. If I use a Stolle action, I will go for an Anschutz rail...

    F T/R Competition Stolle F-Class or Barnard P for F/TR build?

    I will be going heavy. 200 grain Berger Match Hybrids or 185's. As to bipods, I have a Sinclair's, but really actually shoot better with the good ole Harris. The problem with the Harris is that I cant use as firm a rear bag as with the Sinclair. I was just wondering how you are making weight...

    How are your gun club Presidents?

    I like my club. It is definitely run by old men. They reserve special rights as "founders." A couple of years ago, the club was led by a young Marine. A couple of the founders went off on them for reasons I don't know. Now I am the youngest member (at least who shows up to meetings). It is...

    The "Rules" at the Hide (to aid n00bz)

    Many noobies come to the Hide and are instantly humbled by the incredible marksmanship and awesome equipment owned by the many veterans of the Board. Their problem is that they don’t know the rules of the Hide. I have put together a few rules to help noobies when crafting posts to insure they...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Quality vs. Price

    Ahhh, the interwebs. Where all guns shot quarter MOA all day long, when you do your part. Where pistols never fail and people shoot up tens of thousands of rounds a year without every burning up a barrel. The interwebs, where people seem to post their average group or worse group, somehow...

    F T/R Competition Stolle F-Class or Barnard P for F/TR build?

    Mike, what do you have yours on? What contour and length barrel, what stock, and what bipod? How much does it weigh. I figured I copied you on my Tac Ops, I might as well copy you on my FTR gun... except for the McMillan Prone Stock... I love that thing.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Quality vs. Price

    I can tell you which will have no issues in 50-100,000 rounds. None of the above. There is a match called the 1,000 round challenge. Here is a summary of one of the matches: Glock vs. 1911 1000 Round Match in OK 10/20/2007 - THR The challenge is to fire 1,000 rounds with no maintenance...

    F T/R Competition Stolle F-Class or Barnard P for F/TR build?

    I have always assumed that their posted weight includes the trigger, I hope that is right. I have 48 oz. I didn't realize wait was a problem. When I spoke to MT guns last, they were getting them in stock in a few weeks.

    BBL Tuners - Do you use them?

    Here are my tuner groups. The day was a bit windier than I would have liked for what is, essentially, load development. I shot 2 groups at the 0 setting, 2 at 25, 2 at 50, 2 at 75, and then moved up and did the same for 100-175, 200-275, etc. So those first couple of groups were 8 shot groups...

    F T/R Competition Stolle F-Class or Barnard P for F/TR build?

    I was all set to do an FTR build with a Barnard P action. I am using a McMillan Prone stock with clamping adjustable cheekpiece and two way adjustable stock. It will have a 32" Heavy Krieger barrel. I was planning to save a little weight by going with a March Scope. I will be using either a...

    Suppressors The Silencershop in Austin is awesome

    I bought my Ti-Rant 45 from there. Awesome place. I love the silencer removal tool, also known as a tactical oven mitt.

    "Smallbore F-Class'" coming soon per NRA!!!

    I might make one and post it. Right now, I have a target that has 24 properly dimensioned 9-X Rings on an 8.5X11" page. I figure if I drop one out of the 9, I don't need to see more rings... it's a bad shot. This is for 50. For 100, I again have 6 9 and 10-rings on an 8.5X11" page. These really...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Quality vs. Price

    I agree, the Dan Wessons look like the bargain in the market right now for a semi-custom pistol. I own a Baer. I would like to have an Ed Brown some day after I own a Les Baer Monolith and maybe a Baer Bullseye Wadcutter (more for the optics mount than anything). I wouldn't mind carrying a DW...

    JP Captured Spring: worth it?

    I have it and love it. It is a total waste of money and would buy it again and again. I can't really say much about the recoil pulse, I mean it is a .223. I just like it because it makes the rifle feel well put together. Someone said pulling back the bolt feels like racking a custom 1911 and I...
