    New Brass Prep for Lapua Brand Brass

    I have read a lot of brass prep threads and it seems there is a wide latitude in what people do. I also see that some steps aren't done as often on Lapua brand brass because of it's quality. My understanding is that the flash hole is drilled not punched so that gets rid of a few required...

    .338 Lapua vs .338 Norma for AXMC

    Okay.... big curveball. I went into my basement and found I have 1,000 pieces of new unfired .338 Lapua brand brass. I also have a .338 Norma barrel inbound. I am thinking maybe I shoot the .338 LM barrel out before moving on to the Norma. I have the items coming to measure the chamber so I...

    Best Dies for .338 Norma along with other associated equipment.

    I have reloaded a lot of 5.56 and 9mm for high volume shooting. Thus far all the precision stuff I have shot has been factory Blackhills and Hornady. I have a .338 Norma barrel on its way for my AXMC and need to start loading for it. My single stage equipment is pretty basic. Balance scale...

    .338 Lapua vs .338 Norma for AXMC

    I thought about it and reloading isn't a big deal. I am more than happy to reload since the total round count is a lot less than when I was reloading for carbine and handgun. At 20-30K rounds a year I grew to hate that Dillon. If I plan to reload, which caliber would be better? I am not as...

    .338 Lapua vs .338 Norma for AXMC

    I don't want to inventory two calibers that is why I am trying to decide on the caliber for this gun. Here is the reasoning behind the calibers I have: .22 VUDU in AX chassis - I have a 300 yard range in my back yard so a lot of my shooting will be this gun on this range. .308 Practice gun -...

    .338 Lapua vs .338 Norma for AXMC

    First, let me apologize for another vs thread. I googled and searched to try to find my answer. I learned a lot but am still not sure the best direction. Here is the background. I have been shooting a .308 in a GAP rifle 24" barrel for a couple of years. About 10 years ago I bought a GAP...

    How to put Cheekpiece on A5?

    I bought an A5 non-adjustable cheekpiece stock about 10 years ago and have decided I want an adjustable cheekpiece. McMillan said my options are either a strap-on unit (no jokes) and a saddle style unit. I don't like either option, not because they don't work but because they are ugly...

    Carbon Fiber Proof Barrel impact shift

    I am getting ready to build a long range hunting rifle in 300 PRC. I have heard that the Proof barrels can wander as they heat up with a shot string that is fired rapidly with three or more rounds. Of course the goal is a single shot or maybe a follow up shot but I do not want a rifle that...

    Anvil 30 for Spotter?

    I have a Manfrotto tripod and panning head for my spotter for hunting. It is really nice because I can get the elevation set then pan back and forth before establishing a new elevation and doing it again while looking for animals. Prior to this I have a Manfrotto pistol grip that I hated...

    .300 PRC in AXMC?

    My understanding and tell me if I am wrong. Bolt face for .300 Win Mag is .540 According to an article I read the bolt face for the .300 PRC is .532 Soo...does this mean that you can't run a .300 PRC in an AXMC with .300 Mag bolt and magazines? Thanks

    Where to get AI barrel?

    I want the barrel to match the gun. The Krylon nutmeg has me thinking though. Is there a higher quality barrel than the AI factory barrel?

    Where to get AI barrel?

    I need a FDE .308 AI barrel for an AXMC but Eurooptic and Mile High are out of stock. Who else may have one? (20" or 24" preferable with threads) Thanks

    Why not "shoot in a boil"

    I have read "Don't shoot in a boil" Why is that the case and what is the thought process behind that advice?
