    Norma 6 dasher brass?

    Been shooting my gen 1 Norma brass I bought from a member here. Some of which was hammerd with a stiff charge of xbr,, and looked all beat up and swollen at the .200 line. after tuning it back up in my harrels die and smashed it Back to spec, it's been fired 5 more times with either 31.5gr...

    PTR 91 opinions...

    I've owned 2 g3 clones. The first I had was an Interport clone. Looked great had the bake on HK blue/grey paint. Functioned like a boss, never failed to feed or eject. Accuracy was pretty poor, maybe 3 moa. The current one I have is a rather ugly beat up early century clone. It will...

    Action and bottom metal footprint

    Not sure on the bottom metal profile. But I know my manners was a 700 footprint that the previous owner had a deviant in, and I had to lengthen the back of the ejection port cut by maybe a 1/4 inch or so. The Tl3, which I'd assume has the same port size as Origin, is longer than a 700. I also...

    6 dasher vs 6br vs 6xc

    Josh convinced me to go the Norma Dasher route when I put together my TL3. I'm glad he did. I picked up 500 pieces of gen 1 norma brass that a forum user had with 340pieces new and the rest 1x fired with a beastly load of xbr. Dunno his chamber spec, or what action he ran but the 1x case heads...

    New Lapua .308 Brass Problem; Neck Tension?

    The Wilson headspace gauge is more for someone loading for a m1a or something to just quickly see if a case is within saami spec and within max case length, it is usable but not optimum for getting the reading off the datum line on the shoulder of your fired and sized cases. the .400 headspace...

    Why loaded rounds vary with base to ojive?

    I too had issues with the Rdf in .243 though 105gr. Had larger seating variances then I liked. The berger 105 was within 3 thou or so. Was using in 6 dasher with bushing sized and anealed 3xfired. Seated with forster micrometer. My thought was inconsistent bullet shape and the long point of...

    TL3 or defiance deviant. Why can't I deceide

    I had purchased a used manners t4a carbon elite that hat previously been bedded with a deviant. I had to open up the recoil lug side to side and a fair bit deeper. Appears the tl3 lug is larger. Then the obvious lengthier port. And I had to remove some material for th bolt handle on the front...

    175 RDF vs 178 ELD-M

    Can't see in pic details but first white ring outside bull is 4inches OD. Load is 5x win brass, 175rdf, win Lr primer, 43.5 grain imr 4895. Think velocity was right abouts 2670fps. Es of 12 or so. I know I can refine that a bit.

    175 RDF vs 178 ELD-M

    So here's what the 175 rdf does in my savage 12fvss. Stock gun mounted in a bell and Carlson medalist. Shot from prone no rear bag. It's pretty comparable to th 178 hornady bthp I have been running but cheaper. I'm sure it drops less out farther though and bucks wind way better. I haven't been...

    Problem with C.O.A.L. while seating 105 hybrids

    Maybe need the vld seating stem as the hybrids are too pointy to seat off a portion of the bullet like "the ogive", maybe your stem is seating off the actual tip. Or there is variance in your neck tension causing stickage. Just a thought.

    308 neck sizing concerns

    With lapua brass right ray! Win and fed brass are much thinner, in the neighborhood of needing a 332 or less bushing in my experience. A 335 bushing used in my win brass and the projectile won't hold nearly firm enough.

    Bought a Savage for a build... Second guessing myself.

    I've started my bolt gun shooting with savage 10 rifles in 308. They definitely opened the door to the long range and precision desciplins. Very easy to modify and DIY. Head spaces gauges, action and barrel wrenchs, trued nut, and lug from Northland shooters along with any multitude of small...

    Federal Match Large Rifle primers*****update on page 2*****

    Yep, agreed 2ndamendfan. I've unfortunately experienced just that first hand. Gladly caught it stuck before I chamberd another one. Inspecting cases after throwing charges is good practice. It's very easy to un knowingly short stroke a progressive press and not charge a case also "for whatever...
