    90gr SMK in Valkyrie-seating ring mark on bullets due to seating die?

    No, I use Vihtavouri N135 or Reloder 17. Just starting loads right now, as the Valkyrie is a new toy.

    90gr SMK in Valkyrie-seating ring mark on bullets due to seating die?

    Nope. Didn’t come with one, plus I didn’t know that they had one. I’ll get one if available. Thanks!

    90gr SMK in Valkyrie-seating ring mark on bullets due to seating die?

    Wondering if anybody is having the problem of their seating die leaving a circular ring on the bullet’s ogive? I use a Bonanza Co-Ax, and it allows very gentle seating pressure. My Redding seater die works fine for Hornady 75gr bullets, and does not leave the ring. However, when loading the 90gr...

    Bergara HMR 300 Win Mag works better than expected

    Very much pleased! However, after it blew my next-bench-over neighbors gear off of his bench, he was pissedo_O I warned the old fool before he ever sat down. His critter club ball hat flew off, knocked his box of ammo over from sitting on its side, and it hit the concrete. I loved it. You'll...

    Rifle Scopes First Mil-Dot scope question

    Success! Thanks to all who advised on my little problem. I talked to Leupold tech service Monday, was asked me to do the mirror test after I attempted to find optical center. Looked good, so took 50 rounds to the range, posted a 25 yard Bullseye target at 100 yards, bore sighted, and found...

    Accessories SOLD-Compass Lake Engineering chambered Krieger 5.56mm 1-7.7 Service Rifle barrel

    SOLD to Wheres-Waldo 8/18/20> -Compass Lake Engineering AR15 barrel. CLE chambered and set up this Krieger 1-7.7 twist 5.56mm barrel for me to use at Perry in April of 2009. I used it that year, then got bit by the Garand and M-14 bug, so it has sat unused for years. Round count is 1500, +/-...

    Feedback Matt2143 does another fantastic transaction!

    Purchased a NIB AX AICS Chassis system from a Matt. Great price, as-new and he threw in a couple extra AICS magazines too. This is my third or fourth purchase from Matt. All have been as-advertised, well packaged and shipped quickly. Deal with Matt in full confidence.

    Bergara B14 HMR vs Bergara HMR Pro

    Try GUNZONEDEALS.com. I paid $1390.99 for mine. The transaction was flawless, and I received the rifle two days after I paid for it. The rifles are priced according to their relative popularity. My 300 Win Mag was about $150 less than a 6.5 Creedmoor.

    Rifle Scopes First Mil-Dot scope question

    Thanks . This sounds like what Dirthead1 advised initially. Before I cleaned and rotated the turret half a zillion times to get it to click, it wouldn’t work. Tried it again, and have some hope. I’ll do this, and try to get a zero tomorrow.

    Rifle Scopes First Mil-Dot scope question

    Ok. So I don’t know jack shit about scopes. I have three Leupolds. Two are Mk4 MOA models. Their turrets are nothing like the MK5 turret. On the MK4, I count how many clicks from bottomed out, to topped out, divide by 2, and set the turret at that number of clicks. 40 clicks/2=20 clicks is where...

    Bergara B14 HMR vs Bergara HMR Pro

    I chose the Pro in 300 Win Mag. It is worth the extra money to me. Trigger is exceptional, and the action is smooth, bolt disassembles without tools (instructions show a pin inserted to take down, but newer versions you just twist the bolt shroud to the right). Owner’s manual needs an update...

    Cash back credit cards

    COSTCO VISA- IF, and this applies to most all of them, you pay off your balance in full each month. I use the Costco card for all purchases. I get a check for $1,500 or more each February. Best deal going if you eat out often, spend big, and use Costco gasoline.

    Rifle Scopes First Mil-Dot scope question

    I played with my brake cleaner late last night, cleaned the fancy turret and lubed with CLP. Eureka! I now have three revolutions, and the crosshairs are moving properly. The erector is set for two clicks from bottomed out. I’ll know if I have a 600 yard zero on Monday, when I get to the 1 mile...

    Bergara HMR Pro-Brake recommendation?

    I finally received my Sidewinder, and shot 50 rounds today to get some chrono readings, and dope out to 400 yards. Brake worked well, otherwise I would have quit at twenty. Thanks for a great recommendation!
