    FL vs Neck Sizing...Truth or Myths?

    I appreciate all the responses and good info shared here. I've been using a fl die, hornady comparator, and setting it up for a .001 shoulder bump since I reload for only one rifle. I honestly think the only thing holding my accuracy back is inconsistant neck tension. I've considered using a...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST vs. Leupold Mk 4.

    If you can get the mil/le discount go for the mk4. Better resale value and built like a tank IMO. Otherwise maybe troll the PX for a used hdmr. They impressed me considerably and I've seen a couple used ones go for 1k. If I had the money I would've picked up the bushy.

    FL vs Neck Sizing...Truth or Myths?

    Powder for .308 Match Loads

    Since vaget doubled in price and disappeared I've had to try a couple powders I wouldn't normally go with. I've had really good results with imr 4064 and 178 amax's. Also ar-comp has proven amazing with 155 smk's out to 750. I'm running 20" aac-sd. Have a few other powders but these two shot...

    Re: MK12 MOD0 SPR first and foremost, if you cant spot a leupy mk4 then just stop. second and most important, your idea of a "good picture" at a yard sale is probably some tree hugging tofu farting bob ross painting. mine isn't. i put this on my arm for a reason. that reason is mine alone...

    Re: Gimme your thoughts on this.... after you fire a round, are you picking up the next round and it is jamming? or is it jamming when you close the bolt from battery?

    Groups size for stock R700? Should it be better?

    Re: Groups size for stock R700? Should it be better? i had considered moving up in power to possibly a 3-15 nf or hdmr but i just can't swing that right now. the mk4 has been very good to me so far and i definitely don't wanna get rid of it. i do agree the sinclair pod is a rock. i watched...
