    Is this normal? ELDMs

    Be thankful you didn't shoot them. These are well known for coming apart in flight. I have "overspun" them in 6.5 CM. Don't dare try them in 6.5 PRC. Hornady went from my first choice bullet supplier to last. Sad.

    6.5x55 Blaser R8 with a GRS finally getting all the pieces in.

    A claw hammer is the tool you need. I kid you not. https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fm.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D86Bd5GBqIjM&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=HPWqzpw8K8cAwM You will also need metric Allen head wrenches. Good luck.

    300 PRC Die Question

    Newer and maybe better: SAC Die I’m staying with Forster.

    300 PRC Die Question

    I am happy with Forster particularly in my Co-Ax. Send them a fired case and they will ream the sizing die to fit your chamber. Newer and more expensive dies are available but how much better can they be? Good luck

    AMP annealer question

    Yes. It sounded like there was a bowl that needed to be removed for cleaning.

    Hornady vs. Lapua brass Cost Effectiveness

    If you have several hundred Hornady fired cases, process the brass including trimming then sort into 2-grain groups. Keep those groups together for the life of the brass and you will have close to Lapua results. You only have to do this once and the results are significant. Before anyone...

    Outdoorlimited.com, legit?

    My experience was different on two occasions. Products shown as in stock were actually not. I canceled both orders after four months, calling BS when they told me the Barnes bullets I had ordered would be available in a few weeks. They are turning up only now elsewhere after six months. Good...

    Blaser tactical 2...looking for retail sources

    Nope. My LRS II had a serious issue and was recalled. The gun would fire with pressure just ahead of the magazine. This was an LRS specific recall if I remember correctly. I am not aware of an R-93 recall.

    Hammer hunters in 7mm SAUM

    300 PRC shoots big holes with the 208 Barnes LRX at 3,000 fps. Elk hate it.

    Hammer hunters in 7mm SAUM

    If you can find it, try RL-26. You won't be disappointed. It's about as scarce as Barnes bullets. Good luck.

    Hammer hunters in 7mm SAUM

    Include the Barnes 168 LRX in your load development. I did and found they did better than the Hammers with much better BC. Nothing against Hammers, but my rifle liked the LRX better. Proof barrel.

    Do All Hunting Round Decision? Rifle Build help

    300 WM: I’d like to avoid reloading to headspace off the belt So don't. Size the brass the same way you do brass without the belt and problem solved. Sized this way the case headspaces off the shoulder and the belt is irrelevant. Hard to walk past the 300 WM. Good luck.

    .308 win barrel length 20" or 24" for 830 yards

    This exactly. Google Secrets of the Houston Warehouse. Interesting read. Even more interesting experiments.

    Blaser tactical 2...looking for retail sources

    Great rifle. Congratulations. You should know there was a recall for the earlier model, the LRS II. Start with the gun unloaded but cocked. Press up ahead of the magazine. If it fires send it back to Blaser. I have no relationship with Elmer and have never owned one of his barrels, but...

    New 300 Norma Mag build Twist rate question

    The 147 eld-m were coming apart in my eight twist 6.5 CM last year which was the last time I shot them. Not blowing up but jacket separation for sure.

    One of a kind Mausingfield - Update Charge weight test complete 4-9-2023 POST#49

    As I understand it, the bore rider throat reamer Long Rifles Inc. uses leaves you with a very short free bore so that "bore rider" bullets engage the rifling only at the back of the bullet. With a normal bullet where the ogive is near the front, the short free bore allows limits you to a...

    One of a kind Mausingfield - Update Charge weight test complete 4-9-2023 POST#49

    What's the reason for the bore rider throat? Which bullet are you planning to shoot? Do you find a normal bullet hits the lands at a very short COAL.

    308 and wind at 100 yards

    A 10 mph wind will move the 150 gr Hornady fmj by 0.75 inches at 100 yards. Remember it is not the wind but changes in the wind shot to shot.

    308 and wind at 100 yards

    Wind can move a bullet at 100 yards but would not be my first thought. What matters is not so much the wind as changes in the wind. Wind is not constant, but the changes in wind shot to shot will be less than the velocity of the wind. So if a 10 mph wind will move a bullet half an inch at...
