    Hunting & Fishing Favorite trail cam and why?

    If you get a stealthcam let me know. I really want one but I am concerned that I may not have enough cell service in South Texas

    Buyer beware before switching to SRP Brass (Pierced Primers)

    Its the factory Tikka bolt. I did replace the bolt handle but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. I have previously fired over 2k rounds this this bolt and never had an issue on LRP brass. I have no idea how to measure firing pin fall or pin protrusion. sorry

    Buyer beware before switching to SRP Brass (Pierced Primers)

    None. I worked all the way up to 43.8 grains with zero pressure. The load I settled on was at 43.3 grains. I also dropped down to 42.9 and had the same issue with the very first shot I fired. My powder charges are measured to the kernel on the A&D FX120i.

    Buyer beware before switching to SRP Brass (Pierced Primers)

    Yes Sr, I bought 2000 CCI 450s before I even got the brass in the mail. The only primer that may be tougher is a Tula but they are impossible to find here.

    Buyer beware before switching to SRP Brass (Pierced Primers)

    Thanks. I have used them in the past on a Remington 700 project. They don't turn down Tikka's. I may be better off selling the brass and going anther direction at this point.

    Hunting & Fishing Deer Feeders & Pop up blinds

    All Seasons Feeders are the way to go. We have been using them for 20 plus years in south Texas. I have yet to find a popup blind that doesn't suck.

    Buyer beware before switching to SRP Brass (Pierced Primers)

    I put a new barrel on my Tikka a couple months ago and needed to pick up some new brass. I had heard great things about Alpha Munitions and decided to check into there 260 offerings. After a quick glance at there website I saw that they offered both LRP and SRP brass in 260...

    Range Report Federal 260 Rem 142gr Gold Medal Sierra MatchKing vs Hornady 260Rem 130GR ELD

    I ran both in my previous barrel. They both shot sub MOA. The Hornady was just a touch better. They where both very slow compared to my handloads though.

    Primers and Accuarcy

    Why don't you just use the 200s? Life's to short to fix things that aren't broken.

    Gempro 250, RCBS Rangemaster 2000, or something else

    I bit the bullet and bought the A&D FX-120i with auto throw and auto trickle. Best piece of reloading equipment I own. Save you money until you can afford it.

    How do you like that Hornady Iron press?

    Need a little reloading advice

    I normally star at 15 thousands off the lands. Yes flat spot first. Then I work on seating depth.

    Need a little reloading advice

    I normally start with powder charge and try to get to a flat spot at roughly the speed that I am looking for. After that I adjust seating depth to tighten my groups up.

    Criterion Prefit Barrel Nut System

    1/2 MOA is good enough for me. I have been very happy with my Criterion (Tikka Prefit). Most people cant shoot better than half MOA on a normal basis anyway.

    Large frame accuracy

    Build whatever you want but you have no idea what you are talking about. A 6.5 is just as capable in an AR platform.

    How accurate is your rifle at 100 yards

    This is a 10 shot group from 100 yards yesterday. I was trying out my new Sig can for the first time. I can do better if I take my time but it is what it is.
