    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    So, let's say you have a backorder with a vendor for a year or more, and decide to go a different direction (use a different product, etc). Over two weeks, you call the vendor twice and leave voicemails, and follow up with an email each time. You get no response. What would you do from there?

    How are lenses cleaned at the factory?

    The Armson OEG, I think you're thinking of. Looks like true see through sights came first, but your point is still valid. That said, man, I can't stand for my RDS to not have a nice clear lens... LOL. In the 3-gun world, before the rise of modern LPVO scopes, it was common to use an ACOG in a...

    How are lenses cleaned at the factory?

    Use shit made for actual optics. Photosol makes a bunch of good stuff designed for glass with high tech coatings, etc. Most of the solvents mentioned won't damage the glass, but some can strip the coatings right off the glass... Generally, pure ethanol or methanol, and an appropriate wipe. The...

    The new SAC sizing die

    Several of us around here have them, and have switched to them from Redding and Forster dies. They seem to produce very consistent brass - as or more consistent with less runout than our previous dies. Personally, I haven't had a chance to use mine much, yet, but so far, it's matching what the...

    PSA: All Creedmoors should be .25 Creedmoors

    I've been having similar results with the Berger... I've had 2500 ACEs on backorder - trying to cancel that now so I can stock up some more Bergers (same money only buys 1500 bergers, but... I can get them, and Blackjack can sell my 2500 at a higher rate, so...).

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    If anyone is interested in a single "parts kit", I can put one up for sale in the sale forum - this has been a hoot, but I'm moving on to an AMP!

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    You really didn't want Stormtrooper, anyway... The effect on the accuracy of anything annealed in that thing would be ... negative... LOL

    Moving to Lapua SRP brass from LRP...now what?

    I suspect the different case volume will affect the load more than the primer, actually - but yeah, just start over. I made a similar move (Hornady to Lapua SRP) a while back, but I also switched powders when I changed brass (was running IMR 4451 due to lack of availability on H4350), so I don't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any USPSA shooters here

    I was wearing out Wolff variables (unless things have changed, they're the only ones that make them) in less than 1000 rounds. Quality is a little variable over at Wolff, unfortunately. You can definitely go too light - I know guys that used to run 7-8# variable recoil springs in their .40s...

    .25 Cal 135 Hybrid In 25 Creedmoor

    I just came back to this thread after a search to see if anything new has popped up in 135 LRHT land, and re-read your post. I'm wondering if the bolded part above isn't perhaps why you're not seeing jump tolerance. You're running prolly .001-.0015" neck tension. I haven't tried neck tension...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    To be clear (because I'm dumb...)... you only need to following the process of setting a reference altitude or barometric pressure if you want/need the Kestrel to show accurate altitude information? That's not a requirement for ballistic calculations, because those are made solely from the...

    Left-Hand Gain Twist

    Except... that's not really what you're seeing (torque)... Shoot a handgun with your right hand - the gun will track up and to the left, away from your hand. Shoot a handgun with your left hand - the gun will track up and to the right, again, away from your hand. If that was the result of torque...

    Manners Sales/Customer Service - (Tom turned it around!)

    Tom got me straightened out. It looks like the original rail I received wasn't correctly manufactured or QC'ed by the shop that makes them for Manners - and then (likely because they've not had an actual problem with a rail before), Manners CS/Sales just sent me another knob rather than a full...

    Manners Sales/Customer Service - (Tom turned it around!)

    @tmanners @RobertB - thank you both. Tom, I'll give you a shout a bit later - have to get some things done outside while we still have daylight. I can imagine that installation would be the biggest source of issues on a rail, and I would also think that once you have a part programmed, it's...

    Manners Sales/Customer Service - (Tom turned it around!)

    Agree on the CS angle. Their stocks are the furthest thing from garbage, for sure. Companies make mistakes - how they correct them and handle them matters. The other thing is - companies that don’t make it easy to buy from them matters, too (that is, don’t make people chase you to spend money -...

    Manners Sales/Customer Service - (Tom turned it around!)

    Honestly, I wish this was the experience I could take away - although, if Robert and Tom are the only two who can actually make things happen in any sort of "normal" way, that still suggests a problem. Also, ...182845904523536

    Manners Sales/Customer Service - (Tom turned it around!)

    Much as I like both of my Manners stocks, I think I might be done with them in terms of buying anything new. The latest incident... I bought a PRS-TCS last year, but didn't get it with the Sikes Clutch rail installed at the time. A couple months ago, I decided to move forward with it, and tried...

    Reloading Equipment SOLD - Peterson .25 Creedmoor LRP NEW brass ... almost free

    So, this really isn't a "For Sale"... it's really more a "Pay for shipping and it's yours". I received a Peterson certificate good for 2x 50 count packs of brass from the RPR Open. Unfortunately, they mistakenly sent me Large Primer brass on the first go-around, and then graciously shipped out...
