    BIGHORN TL3

    Origin saves you a few hundred if you're ok with a swept bolt handle and don't need the fixed recoil lug.

    What's Sportsmans Warehouse like?

    Big sportsman's fan here. Reasonable prices, normally great selection, etc. Not excited about the Bass Pro takeover after they took cabela's downhill. Bass pro reloading department is a joke these days, I'll miss Sportsmans if BP changes anything there.

    IF you were going to sell powder in this market

    In the current climate I'm more inclined to trade than sell/buy. Today's value doesn't matter as much to me if I would've taken the same trade 6 months ago. As above, if you're helping someone out, your cost or similar is more than fair. If a buddy asked me for 100 primers, I'd just give them...

    Accessories 6.5 PRC ammo IN STOCK

    GA Precision had it earlier this week in the $40's, makes me think they just did a batch. Keep your eyes open, I bet it pops up a few other places within a week.

    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    I'd contact them before doing anything, but that's me.

    7mm-08 small primer questions

    I took measurements and based on saami specs I shouldn't have to. If you've opted for a tight neck or non-saami chamber than ymmv

    Anyone ever heard of or used "Shooters World Propellant"?

    Powder is made by Lovex. I have some SW4350 on the bench but haven't used it yet. If it oerforms decently well and continues to be priced cheaper, then it will be a good option for me. Their stuff in the varget burn range has my interest as the price for that keeps climbing and availability...

    7mm-08 small primer questions

    I've had enough luck with small primer 6.5 creedmoor to try what you've said with 7mm-08. I'm still waiting on my barrel, but I've got the palma brass necked down from one trip through my 7mm-08 FL die. Brass is loaded up and ready to go once the barrel drops....

    Moisture in Leupold Scope

    The turn around time stinks, but they'll make right for you. I used the warranty once on a used scope I bought for a 22. Scope must have been 30+ years old and I was probably the 5th owner and they fixed it. Devil's advocate, 4-6 weeks is probably on the short end for manufacturers right now...

    EU showdown - Mauser M18 vs CZ 527

    Another CZ 527 vote here. The hammer forged barrel has been a solid performer for me. The micro length masuer action on the CZ is excellent in its own right. I've held the M18 and it seemed fine, but it didn't have the old world quality feel that the CZ just exudes. The M18 struck me more as...

    Suppressors K can for 5.56 SBR

    Very low back pressure on my rugged razor and it makes my 11.5" much more enjoyable to shoot. Saves bit over the other models if you're not dead set on the length in short configuration. Razor is 6.4" and can usually be had for around $600. A lot of the "k" marketed cans are 5.5" and standard...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I just think the straight handles look better. Functionally it hasn't matter and I definitely didn't care enough to spring for a TL3 just for that. Currently resisting buying a long action. Don't even know what I would do with it, just need a spare bolt head and part of me figures may as well...

    And you thought the ammo price gouging is bad!

    Should've stocked up on electricity back when it was cheap! I keep extra stored in glass jars in the basement just in case. /s

    Old Brass = Lost Accuracy. Why?

    I think AMPs data was more to the effect that you may be stress relieving with SBA, but not actually annealing at that temp/time. I recently started annealing (annealeez) and had to work up new loads to get back to my new brass accuracy. Annealing changes the hardness and spring back on the...

    Which Long Action?

    A big vote for the big horn Origin. Long action costs a little bit more than the short action, but still cheaper than many of the options listed here. Top tier customer service too.

    Primer shortage confirmed by President of CCI/Federal

    I don't know how many times we need to go over this, but they don't say 100% going to ammo in the videos. They do say that reloading market gets excess from primer production and there is now less excess than normal. Not none, but less. I'm seeing stuff come and go locally and online. It's in...

    Market Curiosity Question--Barrels

    All prefits for me, savage or shouldered. It was a big selling point for me to pick up an Origin action (and then the second that quickly followed). Preferred barrels doing the shouldered prefits under $400 (and with many chambering options, including sherman wildcats) makes a lot of sense. If...

    Suppressors Form 1 efile wait times?

    I submitted in October to SBR an AR lower. The model wasn't in there and it's in .22 LR which wasn't on the drop down. Sent me to pending research. Just got my cover letter and sent prints in 2 weeks ago. I'd say the estimates of 90 days for lending research are accurate, then you're in the...
