    Don’t fight it. Use what works in your gun. I use h4350 in my bolt gun and staball in my ar10.

    6.5 creedmoor AR Only

    My JP was eating brass and showing pressure signs well below max loads with Lapua brass. I went through the dance of adjusting the gas and buffers and springs with not much effect. One day I was sitting at my bench and I happened to try and fit a bullet into a fired case and it wouldn’t fit. So...

    Era-Tac adjustable mount

    I agree 100%. Many years ago when I started shooting competitive trap I was shooting an 1100 auto loader that occasionally malfunctioned so there was always that nagging thought of when it would happen again. And my scores reflected that mental weakness. So I bought a Perazzi. No more...

    Era-Tac adjustable mount

    You just had to put that kernel of doubt in my mind. LOL Damnit now I have to find a 8 ft piece of cardboard to test it.

    Era-Tac adjustable mount

    I'm shooting a 300 NMI on a Surgeon XL with about 400 rounds on it. And no there was no windage change and it's holding zero just fine. My action has a 30 MOA built in rail and I have the base set on 20 MOA and my Nightforce 5x25 ATCAR zeroed at a 100.

    Era-Tac adjustable mount

    I've only tested it for re-zero. I adjusted the base up 20 moa and shot it at 1000 and then took it back down and went up with my scope and it shot the same. I'm interested in what you find out.

    300 Norma Mag

    I'm now just over 300 rounds down my barrel pushing a 230 grain bullet pretty hard with H1000 and I'm losing about .004/100 rounds throat erosion.

    Penetrating Oil For Barrel Cleaning

    I've been using Kroil and Hoppes #9 just because I like the smell. LOL A little dab behind the ears and I'm ready for a night out.

    300 Norma Mag

    I’ve been bumping it back .003 or I get the same problem. I don’t know if it’s because of the high velocity or the stiff brass.

    300 Norma Mag

    Damn that's a sight for sore eyes. Unfortunately many of my shooting buddies are passing away and leaving behind all of their supplies and guns. So I'm sitting fat on everything but magnum powders. But thanks for the offer and I think I know Paul from when I was in the fish business.

    I'm up in Kenai. I found a freight forwarder that will ship it but I need to find a few friends that will go in on a pallets worth of shipping. Nice stash by the way!

    Silicon Valley Bank Shares Halted After Plunge Deepens UPDATE: The Silicon Valley Bank has been shut down by regulators

    Dodd Frank bill made sure that we won't be bailing out the banks. Instead the banks can now bail in and take your deposits and issue you an IOU. The FDIC only has enough funds to cover 1.25% of the deposits so if your counting on getting your $250,000 coverage you better think twice.

    300 Norma Mag

    I think the brass is so tough that you don't get the usual pressure signs. I've been doing load development with the 250 gr. Atip and as soon as I get close to 3000 fps I get clickers even though I'm full length resizing. The primers are not overly flattened and only a very faint ejector mark...

    300 Norma Magnum 225 ELD Bullets

    Was that the first firing on the brass? Drop you charge down a little and build back up to the original now that your cases are fire formed.
