    Flattened primers, really that big of a deal?

    I am not sure what your referring to as "check your jam". This (flattened primers) happened when the rifle was a stock Remington PSS, and now again once the gun has been barreled and trued by a professional smith. I only now noticed because since reloading I have become more/better informed.

    Flattened primers, really that big of a deal?

    So I have read that flattened primers are a sign of over pressure. I went back and looked at some of my previously fired factory brass and found that more often than not they also had flattened primers. So if factory loads are doing this in my rifle, should I still be trying to work down my...

    I sent the die back with a shell that I attempted to re-size. We will see what comes back.

    .300 Win Mag re-size issue

    Ok I am not that high speed low drag as of yet. How do you check how much your bumping the shoulder back and then adjusting your die to adjust for it?

    .300 Win Mag re-size issue

    Case is clean after firing. I have buffed out a couple of cases and there is nothing where this mark is left. This mark is definately coming from the die in one way or another. I ran a paperclip down the inside of the shell and it didnt hang up on anything. Its not scratched, it looks...

    .300 Win Mag re-size issue

    Im not sure what you mena by a crease. Its a raised ring that is a little more polished than the rest of the case. Might be a crease if thats the term for it. I will try a little more lube, but much more and it will be dripping down the case.

    .300 Win Mag re-size issue

    I bought a Lyman full length sizing die. I am re-sizing once fired Black Hills (BHA) brass. On one side I am getting this very slightly risen brightly polished ring. I have cleaned out the die with brake cleaner twice now and also used a rag to assist in cleaning out the die of any grease...

    New Australian made bipod- The Predator

    I really like the ability to track right and left. It seems like it would be beneficial when engaging movers.

    Sniper Magazine

    It typically comes out in March. This is the first year it hasn't made the shelf on time in the past three years. Its not even on the shelves on military installations like it typically is. I wonder if they are still publishing it.

    Care to share your favorite 5.56mm/.223 load recipe

    Awesome, whats happening is that I like the M855 out of my full length ARs; however its not performing the same way out of my carbines. Trying to still use the BDC in my ACOG and standard iron sights so I am trying to get a load that will simulate the M855 ballistics in a full length gun for my...

    Care to share your favorite 5.56mm/.223 load recipe

    If anyone would be as so kind, I am looking for a good load for a short (16 inch) barreled 5.56mm carbine utilizing LC brass. M855 isn't doing it at 500yds for me. I have reloaded plenty of 7.62x51mm/.308 cartridges, and have a solid load for my rifle, but now that I have ventured into the...

Through some mysterious means (significant other I am...

    Vertx Kryptek pattern impressions

    I have read the reviews here on the pants and the jackets and what i learned is that you should buy a size bigger pants if you order Vertx clothing. Good to know -but- I want your impressions/opinions on their Kryptek patterns. I like their overwrites in the Yeti pattern, and the highlander...

    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    Ok, my question (to get right down to it) what barrel length and twist would you get for a .30-06 shooting 175-200gr bullets out to 500yds maybe a little farther? I'm going to opt to flute this one so what do you all think? I'm looking to due a light heavy contour like you would find on a...

    Night Vision Armasight impressions

    I am hearing some negative reviews of their thermal devices but it would seem their NV stuff still is not to bad.
