    Rifle Scopes Scope bottoming out?

    Just loosen the rings and rotate the inserts 180 degrees? Make certain you don't have +º in the front ring and -º in the rear.

    Neck diameter question

    What kind of chamber? How many times has the brass been fired? What kind of dies are you using? What tools are you using to measure re-sizing (headspace) and seating depth? Are you using the "right" powders/primers/bullets for the cartridge? Source of data? Have you loaded for this...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    How often to anneal depends on several factors, but if you're shooting a factory-chambered gun and using non-bushing dies the brass is getting worked more on each cycle than if you're shooting a custom-reamer-chambered gun and using bushing dies to control neck tension. Generally speaking...

    Extreme Tumbler Rebel 17? Better?

    Well, I'll speak up for the Thumlers....as I've been running a pair of them the last three years and have cleaned close to 100K customer cases. The only parts I've replaced have been two drive belts and one rubber lid gasket. I ordered replacement rollers and dog-cogs when I purchased them but...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    As brass is fired and expands to seal the chamber, the case's dimensions get larger. The brass springs back from the chamber walls allowing extraction. When the case is resized by the die the brass is "worked". Each of these cycles of expansion and sizing down will actually change the molucular...

    Range Report Need help understanding data from range session.

    23/23.1 look the best out of this sample but looking at your velocities I think your loading (powder weighing) process can be improved. Without knowing the barrel length, twist rate and what bullets you're using, I'd say those charges are on the light side. 24-24.5gr of Varget is a typical...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    December bump.... Too cold to shoot? It's never too cold to get ready for next season. Brass prep, new barrels and new loads? Send me that tired, dirty brass and get off to a fresh start in 2014. Much cheaper than buying new.

    600 yd Accurate bolt rifle

    A pain in the ass? What's hard about loading 30.5gr of Varget into virgin brass with .003" neck tension and .030" into the lands and pull the trigger? The 6BR and Dasher both feed well from a short action magazine. One common follower to use is 6.8spc.

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    Denys, the NorCal Precision club shooters had "field days" and an ego boost shooting on the standard High Power targets when they first were squadded. I believe they actually appreciated the change to the F-Class target for competition's sake (as did the Slingers who had a bit of scorn for...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    Nice reading comprehension ..... Of course bushing dies (or ANY) don't control spring back, annealing does. As I said, the runout is pushed to the outside when seating. Regardless of the sizing dies used. Turning brass for a standard chamber is wasted work.

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    You're kidding yourself if you think you can more accurately control neck tension with a collet die over a bushing die. With bushing dies one can easily adjust for brass-wall thickness, different makes of brass and amount of springback the cases exhibit. As for where that wall-thickness...

    Fake Atlas bipod?

    Considering that they go for $220 new, I'd imagine this is a knock-off. His negative ratings indicate he was selling knock-off Troy iron sights this summer. Caveat Emptor - I'd pass.

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    That's the guy for whom the "F-Field" class would fit; shooting repeater actions, non-.308 calibers and shorter barrels. The match director at Sac Valley has been classing them this way for a couple of years and turnout is good. Most of them shoot against each other in regular Field...

    Reloading Advice

    1) Hornady OAL gauge tool to best measure seating depth maximums. Need a modified case for each caliber. 2) Casemouth chamfering tool (the "rocket" style that can use an adapter to chuck into a drill is preferred. This chamferer fits nearly all calibers. 3) If you're going to trickle...
