    Sergeant of the Hide?

    I was so special I wasn't allowed on that bus. It was like a van. With bars on the windows.

    OCW, confirm for me?

    I've been having great luck with the 175 SMK Varget 43.5gr COAL is 2.222" from the Ogive. Neck tension right at .002". Try that and see what happens.

    Problem with a seller question

    You can't blame the seller for not shipping the item. Paypal is limited in what they can do if you utilized friends and family. USPS does this all the time though. Give them a chance. I know it's hard waiting for a new toy or better yet something that will complete a toy. If you have a tracking...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr Leveling Wedge

    I second that. I just picked up a used Sp-4001 and the owner couldn't find the wedge that comes with it. Anyone else have one?

    Shoulder won't bump but no feeding issues

    I had a Dillon die do that.. (.308) Couldn't for the life of me bump it. Wouldn't chamber either. My headspace gauge showed it over max too needing to be bumped back big time. I ended up sending it back to them with a piece of brass I was trying to bump. The Die came back working that's for...

    Fix it sticks or borka

    I just want to be clear here too. I'm not informed of the complete manufacturing process that Borka employs. These are my observations and mine only. I've been in the auto industry for more than half of my life and almost have had at least 1 tool in my hand daily. From Snap-on, MAC, Matco...

    Fix it sticks or borka

    I've got the Borka. I can't tell you how many times I have needed that kit in the field. Badass honestly. Only complaint is that I'd like some smaller hex keys for items such as the Kahles Zero turret screw. But I just have a little case with those super small hex's. It's really a badass kit...

    Bolt questions with pics

    Hence my lovely comment above. I'd call back and keep bugging them. That's just unacceptable quality in my opinion. I don't see any witness marks on that bolt that would suggest that it was fired. Escalate it up there man. It's about principal now.

    Kestrel 5700

    I honestly found one on ebay for $560 with link. It was a Canadian seller and he included a Nite Eyez case. I think I just got really lucky though. I don't think he did the conversion too well. But I would say, good luck. They are all about the same price. It's a tough pill to swallow, but...

    Bolt questions with pics

    Send it back. No reason for you to have to smooth out the bolt and loose the nitrite finish. Chances are they will just send you another one.

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    Shouldn't be fighting a factory Remington. MY 700 .308 has a Max COAL of 2.945" with Sierra HPBT 175's. I load to 2.800" SAAMI and seem to not have to chase the lands. Seems like the Sierra Match Kings are pretty forgiving considering a .145" jump.
