    Any Interest in Steyr SSG 69 Aluminum Trig. Guard

    I guess 1969 isn't far enough back to be considered vintage. They were WAY ahead of their time.

    Why clean your brass??

    If you have brass that lasts many reloadings (6 or more times), you will develop a buildup with some powders that will at times come out in larger clumps. I don't like the idea of this stuff being unnecessarily blasted through my bore. I suggest stainless tumbling first and then finishing in...

    300 NORMA MAG ?

    There are other ways but as you describe, you'd need a 338 Lapua gun.

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    You can switch barrels w your AX. Buy another barrel in another caliber and screw it on yourself. It won't take you 15 min if you have a wrench and a vice.

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    Love the guy with the cross correcting others..... Here you go.... Google is a proper name and should be capitalized. I'm not sure if it's a verb yet either. Awesome stick OP.... I have one that's new to me and I'm equally impressed.

    Gunsmithing Which Product Works Best to Remove Copper Fouling?

    Wipe Out or Eliminator. Walk away and let the chemicals that won't harm your barrel do the work.

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    As the class is open to non members and you don't know how many will show, I understand those concerns. I was thinking I'd be more comfortable trying a 300 or a 600yd comp first but what the heck! Maybe I'll qualify before this comes around to get that out of the way.

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    I think this is a great idea. I will try to attend as well. It's surprising to me though that attendees, presumably mostly beginners, are not to shoot in the class but are encouraged to come out the following day and participate in the 1000yd match. Nothing like jumping into the deep end to...

    Wet tumbling drying rack

    I rinse my brass in extremely hot water thus raising the temp of the brass and enabling them to dry mostly on their own. I then tumble in in a dry beach towel by holding each end of the towel with the brass in the center like tobacco in a homemade cigarette alternately raising right and left...

    338 edge load with reloader 33

    I like 98gr.....no surprise. Did you let the cartridges cook in the chamber? I've had velocities increase throughout a string with temp sensitive powders of they sit in an increasingly hot chamber.

    Alliant 2000-MR/Hornady 178 bthp OCW test results

    Interesting. I'm not even weighing each charge right now but am getting single digit SD. I've been trusting my Harrel's measure (2000MR meters really well)

    Alliant 2000-MR/Hornady 178 bthp OCW test results

    You might try annealing (I know your brass is newish) or look at your neck tension. I get single digit SD with Sierras and Noslers.

    For the reloaders. Moly bullets?

    There is evidence of long term barrel corrosion in some instances. I avoid it now mainly because it adds one more variable to the process and I seem to be busy enough keeping it together. I'd give it another look if a significant number of competitors were winning with it but they're not.
