    Neck tension control

    I know what it is. Eric Cortina says it's stupid. What do you say?

    Neck tension control

    I heard today an "interesting" advice from a guy I met at the range: why don't you screw up your FL sizing die and size only the neck part (ca. 4mm), so you will get the proper neck tension and you won't lose the benefits of a fireformed brass at the same time. Does it make any sense to you...

    Bergara HMR Pro and $2500 question?

    Check the scope mount- reinstall the scope to be sure it's not the optics. Buy yourself a box of berger ammo or lapua scenar ammo and test it at 100yards for groups. If the gun did not achieve 0.5 moa with scenars (but only in this case), I would just replace the barrel. The stock is nice, so I...

    Load development for dummies guide

    I am also shooting 140 VLDs. I didn't start with 0.010 OTL. I started with 0.04 and work from there. I am an inexperienced reloader but my last group at 150 meters with VLDs was 0.38 moa for a 5-shot group and 0.37 moa at 200m for a 5-shot group. However I use 2 different powder charge weights...

    Factory Rifle - Bergara vs Tikka

    as was mentioned before, both rifles are very accurate. Both triggers are decent. Tikka's advantage: 70 degree bolt lift, smooother action Bergara's advantage: -built in muzzle brake, adjustable cheek piece.

    EC tuner brake

    I would love to see some real reviews of the "EC" tuner. Or any tuner. Even if the theory on the barrel harmonics behind those tuners is correct, I miss reliable range reports.

    Is the Steyr SSG-69 PII a good all around rifle?

    It's always amusing to read ad personam arguments when there are no substantial arguments. There is no better proof of rhetorical failure. Enlighten us guys with your knowledge of steyr mannlicher, please.

    Does custom action make this much difference?

    It's so funny to read a shitstorm on the savage action. You made my day.

    Is the Steyr SSG-69 PII a good all around rifle?

    AUG has a nightmare trigger and a nightmare stock. Zero ergonomics. I shot this thing multiple times and never was impressed. If I had to choose between an AUG and a mid-priced AR-15, I would choose an AR in a heart beat. SSG 04 and SSG 08 is so` overpriced that it is a waste of time to discuss...

    Does custom action make this much difference?

    Pardon my ignorance, but I have a naive, maybe stupid question: how much does it matter in terms of accuracy if my rifle has a custom action? I plan to change my factory tikka barrel soon to a bartlein. It will in all likelihood shoot 0.5moa (or better) for a 5-shot group at 100 yards. How much...

    Is the Steyr SSG-69 PII a good all around rifle?

    I think Steyr Mannlicher (now Steyr) is a company that lives in the past. Whenever I come across these guys- usually during IWA in Nurnberg- I see this fixation over their glorious past. They always come dressed in their fancy traditional Austrian vests and approach you with the Steyr-attitude...

    Is the Steyr SSG-69 PII a good all around rifle?

    Why do you want to buy a rifle designed in 1969 when you can buy a rifle designed in 21 century? Get yourself a tikka ctr or varmint or savage axis or howa 1500 and forget the steyr.

    Neck tension control

    My current plan is (a) FL sizing with a forster die, then (b) 21century mandrel expander die neck sizing. Does anyone consider such process wrong?

    Neck tension control

    Thank you very much guys! Now, I have much more clarity on the process. I am heading towards expander die+mandrel.

    Neck tension control

    Tokay444- what do you mean by mandrel? Should I go with LE Wilson mandrel expanding die?

    Neck tension control

    Ok, is FL sizing die from Forster +Lee Collet is a good combination?
  18. O

    Neck tension control

    ok, so what you are saying is that (a) after FL sizing a case (b) I should use a lee collet die on the neck? I am wondering if there is a quality FL sizing die that would do the job done on the neck...

    Neck tension control

    Matches Malone, which die are you using?

    Neck tension control

    Thank you. I plan to stay with FL sizing. My question is, should I apart from FL sizing do anything else to neck of the brass. I plan to use only lapua brass. So, does forster FL die provide enough consistency in neck tension or should I run extra every time e.g lee collet or wilson mandrel die...
