    Rifle Scopes Market for high priced glass????

    I would venture the world's most expensive hobby is girlfriends. Especially if you're married.

    Prime 6 Creedmoor using Sierra 107's

    I load both in my 6CM. The Berger 105 shot exceptionally well through the Krieger barrel. The 107 MK nearly as well. I couldn't find the Berger for a while so I bought a supply of of MKs and that's now what I shoot. The MK is also substantially cheaper. Taking them to Arena next weekend to try...

    Powder charge weight - how consistent does it need to be?

    Thanks for pointing me to the video. This is exactly the type of comparison I was looking for. These guys have a level of precision I'm not capable of. That's why I was turning to others to find out if someone had investigated this.

    Setting up for 6mm Creedmoor

    I went with the Redding Type S FL sizing die. The problem I ran into was the inconsistency of the neck wall thickness of the Hornady 6CM brass. I have a ball micrometer and measured neck wall thickness in order to determine bushing size. However after processing the first batch of 100 I found...

    Powder charge weight - how consistent does it need to be?

    Has anyone done a careful comparison between methods for weighing powder? I know that the FX120i will give very accurate results, but how accurate is necessary? If my scale were only able to weigh to 0.1 grain will that have a real effect on ES and SD? Has anyone taken an identical load and...

    Suppressors Suppressors.... carbon build up ?

    Do any of the manufacturers recommend against either of the common methods, CLR or "the dip"? Specifically I hope to take delivery soon for my Omega. Wondering if either method will adversely affect the metallurgy.

    New reloading press, single or progressive

    Thanks. Geez, I am so anal about some of this stuff. I wiped 'em till they were squeaky. What a pain!

    Starline rifle brass, Anyone used it before?

    I've used Starline pistol brass for years with very good results. Shortly after I got my 6.5CM starline announced a SRP version. I just bought 50 pieces to check it out and was favorably impressed. I've since bought more and it's been more than satisfactory, especially for the price. I don't...

    New reloading press, single or progressive

    Really stupid question about your technique: Are you still wiping each round individually with the towel? A towel to wipe off lube is my current method but I'm not using the acetone. The tendons on the backs of my hands are pretty tired after wiping 100 cases well enough to where I'm...

    Precision Rifle Expo in GA this Fall

    Thanks to all for putting this on. Being that I'm in GA I would be there for sure if not for the fact that I'll be out in MT that weekend. I'm sure you'll have no trouble fill this to capacity.

    Weight Sorting Brass

    Good discussion. Sometimes I find I get too wrapped up in the minutiae. Reading others experiences helps bring me back to whats important.

    So are Federal 210 and 210M the same thing?

    I have always liked the 210M and prefer to use them in my 308 loads and still have a small stash. But they are scarce and I have tried other primers lately. I started load development for my 6 CM with 210M and while they did pretty well I recently tried CCI-34's and I'm getting more...

    Defective Winchester brass - 300WM

    Wanted to add my Win brass experiences. I was getting ready for a prairie dog trip and needed a couple hundred pieces of 22-250. This was a few years ago and brass was still really hard to find (still is in certain calibers). Anyway, Cabelas had Win brass in bags of 100. I ordered 3 bags. I...

    Custom tikka vs. tikka t3x tac a1

    rookie7 summed up the TAC A1 very well. I picked one up for $1500 and think it's a very good value. The chassis is adjustable enough to give me the fit I want. And with the folding stock I don't ever have to mess with the comb height once it's set. The folding latch is well done. I checked...

    Mag pouch for T3X 10 round mags

    I liked the one from Sunrise Tactical, I just wish it were open top. Leaning towards the CMP from Triad Tactical. Also found an inexpensive option from Tactical Tailor that might just work. If I get multiple I'll report back which seem to work the best.

    Magneto Speed Sporter

    MS is so much more convenient. I have used my Oehler for years but the MS is so small it's easy to travel with. I would have liked to be able to check velocity on a prairie dog trip and would certainly take it to a match. Not so much with the Oehler. Even after only a few uses I consider...

    PRS Talk Should I just accept that I'll lose most of my brass at a match

    I can see there are different views about policing your brass and I understand where you're coming from. If everyone was so anal about finding every single piece of brass it would slow the match down to a crawl. I just don't want to leave behind most of my brass if at all possible. I hope to...

    PRS Talk Should I just accept that I'll lose most of my brass at a match

    I've read an AAR for Mammoth Sniper challenge that you won't be picking up any of your brass. And I watched Shooting USA tonight and their coverage of the Bushnell Brawl where the floor of the copter was literally covered in brass. It's not just the expense of Lapua brass but it's also the...

    Magneto Speed Sporter

    I see from your photos that you're positioning the clamp very close to the muzzle. In the instructions they actually have a spec for how far back it should be set. If I recall, it's somewhere around 2". Anyway, being so close you're setting yourself up for some forward slippage and possible...
