    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX3i vs Swarovski z3/z5?

    The Swarovski is so much brighter, I have a Z3 on an old Pre-64 featherweight (.270) and it is wicked bright and very crisp. I also have countless VX3's, which are good scopes, but the Z3 is better.

    Guys, I really don't know what the hell I just watched.

    That was one of the best things I've seen in a long time!

    6.5x47, IMR 4064, 123 gr Sierra or Lapua. Anyone using his combo?

    I'd say try it! Be aware though, you may have to "tap down" the powder since the 4064 kernels are so large, when I loaded IMR4451 with 130's I definitely had to.

    Brass Stickin

    Also, I would encourage you to buy the Berger reloading manual as it goes in depth on how to measure your brass and optimally set-up your sizing dies (i.e. the things mentioned in this thread). This is important regardless of the intended use of the reloaded ammo. The stickies on this website...

    Brass Stickin

    Used brass from someone else's gun, and split necks! Throw that brass in the garbage and buy some new stuff. Life is too short and precious to do things half-assed!

    10 shot load development

    This will work, but you should shoot three shots per charge weight. Then compare your avg velocities. One Shot is not sufficient.

    Primer seating depth and accuracy

    Here is a link to a terrific article that discusses how to modify the Dillon 550's primer seating depth (and a lot of other good stuff as well) for those that might be interested :)

    Primer seating depth and accuracy

    I used the Sinclair tool for years. It is pretty good, but so is my Dillon 550 that has been modified to properly seat primers. The ammo, including the seated primer, is just as good as when using the Sinclair priming tool and size/seating on a single stage. So to answer your question, I think...

    Load development powder start?

    You could always load one round per charge weight, starting at your minimum load and working up to your max a half grain at a time. This is how I determine a safe max load.

    FL Size Then Neck Size

    If you already have the Redding neck only bushing die, and you want to perform body sizing (basically FL sizing without touching the neck), consider a Redding body die. Its purpose is to "bump" the shoulder back. This would allow you to achieve the same end product as if you were using the...

    Some obviously do, but I don't. It's not required.

    FL Size Then Neck Size

    I should add, I shoot weekly with two world champion BR shooters. Not sure how many records they hold together, but it's double digits. BR is not my cup of tea, but ALL shooters can learn a shit ton from these guys, they operate on a level that doesn't exist on Sniper's Hide.

    FL Size Then Neck Size

    I don't know about this monkey business. Sounds like a complete waste of time. If BR shooters can set world records by simple one-step sizing, why does a "steel shooter" need "something more"? To any new shooters reading this: Keep It Super Simple. Remove your expander ball and use a proper...

    We should listen to him because he's a "bird hunter"

    Maybe it's just me, but people like this power couple seem so weak and pathetic. Why would anyone listen to them? How does their ability to sing make them qualified to define exactly what the 2a means? And further, how dare them try to take from our hands, the tools we use to protect...
