    Best Fire Forming Option ?

    There is really nothing special you have to do. You do not have to jam the bullets, if you don't want to. I tend to stay .005" jump, or less. This is .308, necked down to 7mm-08 and fired in an Ackley Improved chamber. It would be considered a "hot" 7mm-08 load, but that's where they come to...

    Agreed.

    Something kicking off in Israel

    I am familiar with the sound of a supersonic, centerfire bullet hitting skull and/or brainstem from a suppressed rifle. On a mammal. It is a dull thud. And the receiver is dead before it hits the ground.

    Blah, blah, blah! Power hungry people inventing bullshit to line their own pockets. Fuck em. And everyone that looks like em.

    300 grain scenar 338lm

    A powder charge in one rifle does not always make for the perfect charge in another rifle. You can start at 88.0 gr, and if you do not see pressure signs, climb up on the next charge. One way of gaining ground, quickly on such a large total powder charge is to step up in 1.0 gr increments...

    7mm Rem Mag short Barrel Length question

    Ironically, I have an old Sako 7 Rem Mag in for load development. He told me he needed a mild load. And the rifle was shooting like shit. The forearm was touching everywhere it could. I started opening up the forearm and quickly realized the lack of a front pillar and no bedding was a major...

    Anyone know where to get a modified case made?

    I have literally used the cut neck method for about a thousand rifles. Including one yesterday. It is consistent. In my case, $9 doesn't matter. Waiting on it is what matters.

    Beginners question on reloading for two separate 6.5 creedmoors

    7mm-08 is my love. I have a 7mm-08 "Rental Rifle" for training those that don't have their own rig. And a 7mm-08 Ackley Improved that goes with me everywhere, every day. For the 7mm-08, I have necked down .308 Win as well as 7.62X51 Lake City, just to see what I see. They shoot great. And...

    Anyone know where to get a modified case made?

    The only thing you need to do is size the brass, and cut the neck longitudinally (even a Dremel is fine). Debur it inside and out. Size it again. Load a bullet long, measure CBTO, document, chamber it, eject it, measure CBTO, document. Pull the bullet. Adjust the seating die, and repeat the...

    We made it all the way through Louisiana, and somewhere mid Mississippi we needed gas. Same thing happened, nobody looked like me. Texas plates on the Tahoe, and I paid at the pump. Moved the Tahoe to a parking spot in front and went inside to pee and get some caffeine. I saw a lineman bucket...

    Brass sometimes get stuck in chamber in bolt rifle

    Piece of shit extractor design. And an ejection spring that is too small in diameter and too short. Savages shoot well, if you can the damn things to cycle.

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Short version of the story. I had a guy inside my fence, in my front yard, and in the dark at 0500 one morning. He had to hop over the 4' tall pipe fence to be there. I addressed him with sights on his back, and light shining from behind me to him. He did an about face and never stepped forward...

    I told my wife I'd like to move to middle of nowhere west Texas. She said "you don't know anyone there." I said, I will end up knowing everyone worth knowing. She asked how. I said you find out where all the old men gather up in the morning drinking coffee. That is where the knowledge is...

    The armor on the top is protecting an aftermarket roof A/C, the previous owner built. I bought it with 640 hours on it. $28K less than a new one, at the time.

    Rifle range to the left. And this damn Grove of trees makes one long hay field into two. I took down the little ones with a Skid Pro shredder on the Kubota. Then went to a Stihl MS 362 for the +8" trees. Mass killing and I feel no remorse for it. Ash ain't the greatest firewood, but it will...

    I’m stuck

    Historically Savages cycle like shit, but shoot well. The ole Savage double stroke trying to get a round chambered. Then the weak ass ejection spring. I've installed about seven ejector springs in two actions, and still own one action. I finally gave up and let it not eject. It's a 3 day a year...

    I’m stuck

    No way do loading components retain any value. No way can a guy resell any of it. Some people do not have as much quit in them as you do. One pound of powder at $50 is likely going to be cheaper than any barrel. Find a combo that works and have to change lot numbers, because he only bought...

    I’m stuck

    Yes I do. Can they be made to produce shooting 300 WSM ammo? Of course. But they are not my first choice. On safe ammo, they are probably not producing a high case fill. In my experience, with the long action magnums as well as the short magnums, filling the brass is a good thing. Of course...
