    Gunsmithing Carbon ring.

    Can someone post a picture of what a true carbon ring looks like? I haven't checked the bore (I have a teslong also) but my Barrett MRAD 338LM has been giving me hard bolt lift regardless of pressure or load. I'm down 4 grains from previous known good load and I get bolt lift (hard bolt lift...

    Reloading Equipment WTB .338 Lapua Brass

    I've got about 400 pcs of once fired Prime Ammo (Norma/RUAG) that is fully processed (resized, trimmed, annealed) I could let go if you don't find what you're looking for.

    HELP!!! Trying to find a matching a Cerakote color

    I've been trying to replicate this myself. (resurrecting an old thread, I know) but the closest I could find so far is Federal Standard Field Drab. It's not exact, but also close and has a slight green tint. I would have expected Coyote to be close, but it's actually way too light almost like...

    Gunsmithing Proof CF prefit barrel on Tikka T3x - Bolt Closes on no-go gauge but not on Field gauge

    So I decided to install a Proof Carbon barrel on my T3x. Prior to install, I cerakoted both the action and the steel parts of the barrel. I did not tape off the action face nor the mating face of the extension, although I DID tape off the barrel threads. When I installed, I only had a...

    Amp annealer question

    Same measured mass at the necks apparently. I've gotten similar results. My Lapua 338LM I think got 165 because I turned the necks.

    .338 LM / US869 / 285 AMAX

    Negative. In all the years since 2014 when I started reloading for 338LM, I never once was able to buy RL33.

    Euro presses: Talon vs. Turban vs. Lenzi

    I don't have anything to add other than I really lust after a Turban 140mm.......I think it's all in the kinematics....linear bearings, finely machined surfaces, tight tolerances. Will probably do nothing to increase precision (or that 99% of shooters cannot outshoot what a Rockchucker or...

    .338 LM / US869 / 285 AMAX

    I almost forgot, you can try IMR 7828 as well. It burns super clean. I have the SSC (super short cut) variant and leaves a lot of space in the case. I would go with the standard 7828 if you can find it.

    .338 LM / US869 / 285 AMAX

    Mine does pretty well with 300 gr. Scenars. Between 105-106 grns of US869 works well for me but it's not temperature stable, was getting ridiculous velocities and some mild pressure signs this summer at 102-104 degrees. You can work up some great loads with it. It's a bit of a hidden gem...

    Music to reload by

    Nothing. I like to focus on what I'm doing without distractions. I'm strange like that though.

    Knights Armament

    The receiver forgings and BCG (at least the pre-ambi ones) were made by LMT for KAC according to a lot of people that know better than I. I can't afford KAC so I go with LMT.
