    300 WM Sizing Issue

    Thanks, I wish it was a lubricant issue. I have on hand several different lubes including those you mentioned but the Redding wax and dry lube have givien me the best results over the years. Like a lot of things you try many and settle on one. I'm thinking I've got an out of spec chamber and the...

    300 WM Sizing Issue

    Over the years I've been reloading for my 6.5 and 308. Recently started loading for a belted cartridge and have an issue sizing I need help with. 300 Win Mag, Norma Brass once fired, Redding FL bushing die, using bushing to yield .002 neck tension, and using the sizing wax lightly as well as...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Ditto on the 308, there is such a variety of powder/bullet weight combinations available to play with. Guess I enjoy reloading more than most, next adventure is to come up with a subsonic load to run suppressed. I must admit that I have a custom 6.5 that is my comp gun and it is wick...

    Lapua Ballistic calculator

    As a side note, I've also been running Hornady's 4DOF calculator and it seems to be spot on compared with the results I get using Trasol. It has most Berger, Hornady and Sierra bullets profiles in a drop down to choose from. Provides all the basis info you need but not a lot of other bells and...

    What's your favorite die set for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I've been using redding S type sizer and Forster micro meter seater dies. Now I think I might change over to Sheldon N's method for sizing or at least give it a try.

    Lapua Ballistic calculator

    I just checked my saved data and you are right, same here 154.32. I don't think this was happening a few weeks ago when I was comparing data with another app.

    Well I assumed it was, but now that I know it isn't I'll do a little checking to find how who's it is. Thanks for letting me know.

    I'm curious, do all A1 models have the DT logo on the cheek riser?

    Need extra soft recoil pad

    Kick-EEZ magnum, grind to fit. It tamed a short barreled 450 Marlin I had at one time.

    Desert Tech TRASOL Official Thread

    Would one of you guys please tell me what the "sync" function does? I've been using this app for a year or so, know how to use all the other features but this one. Thanks

    Lapua Ballistic calculator

    I've been playing with it and so far really liking some of the charts/ graphs and the ease of use. Looking forward to future updates. I'd like to know how you enter weather conditions when out of Internet service, because it looks like it automatically pulls in and uses current conditions. Also...

    300WM Powders

    Well I'm using Retumbo and 210 VLD's, the 300Wm is a new caliber for me so I just started load development last week. Found two nodes that show promise and velocity is much higher than I expected, 2950-2988 fps. Getting ready to load some more up today in increments near those two nodes. Using a...

    Sig Sauer 2200 Real World Reviews

    Ditto that! At least on the 2000. It has forced me to learn how to range using my scopes, and I get a reading every time.

    6.5 creedmoor

    Huh that is not suppose to happen. If you sized the case and have that problem i think i'd be checking to make sure I'm trying to load the right caliber bullet in the case.

    6.5 Creedmoor die set recommendations?

    Whidden, Redding or Forster, you will be happy with any of those. The choice IMO is personal preference. Whidden dies are machined from aluminum, Forster micrometer seater dies usually don't require a different seating stem if you plan to use VLD's. The bushing style sizer dies from both Redding...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic on the DTA thread, guess its that time of the year, so thought I would ask a question here that should probably be in the reloading section. Here goes; have a new to me 26' 300wm conversion, and looking for a good hunting and also a blinking load. I favor...

    .308 Winchester

    And here's another suppressed load; DTA 22" 308 barrel/Thunderbeast 43.5 grains Varget 175 SMK Lapua brass Fed GM210M 0.018 jump Sorry no MV, there is no exposed barrel and the can was hot so couldn't strap my magneto speed on to it. About 0.25" c to c @ 100 yds.

    CCI BR-4 vs. CCI 450, and the Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor case.

    Nice info and great write up, should be helpful for a lot of folks beginning to use Lapua like me. I'll be trying the Lapua 6.5 creed brass tomorrow for the first time, using 450's and 130 vld's to compare results to my established data using Hornady brass, Fed primers and the 130 vld's. Also...

    MagnetoSpeed Sporter issue

    I've never experienced that problem with mine but it sounds like one of the sensors is not picking up the bullet on the low velocity shot. I'd re-read the manual and make sure that the MS is positioned within the measurements they list, and also that it is securely attached. If you are running...
