    SOLD: Savage small shank 21" Criterion 6.5CM barrel - $225

    I think it's called varmint, it's 0.860" just behind the muzzle threads.

    Question about barrel/charge slowing down

    These were my set of Nosler brass for which I have extensive dated chronograph load workup data. Interestingly, there’s only about 15fps difference for the same load in Nosler and Lapua brass. I’m a bit of an OCD data nerd, which tends to fuel my curiosities.

    Question about barrel/charge slowing down

    Just took a measurement and currently have about 030" of total erosion. This is my first real experience with a new custom barreled action and don't know what is typical nor what to expect. Also, I do have a replacement already on order but am hoping for 3000-4000 rounds life out of this one.

    Question about barrel/charge slowing down

    I hadn't thought about that and see how a lower voltage should impact the sensor. Battery swapped. Also, I'll give her a good cleaning, though can say, the barrel comes clean by merely alternating 3-4 wet / dry patches.

    Question about barrel/charge slowing down

    I’m about ready to put up this hobby, move to India, take up absinthe and opium, and start writing morbid comedies. Please help. Since installing my new Criterion nitride finish barrel in March, to the best of my knowledge and ability I've done everything "right" and am seeing a recent odd...

    help identifying a powder

    Here’s some Hybrid 100V for comparison. This is my guess. Also, I’ve played with this a bit in 6.5CR loads.

    Sig Sauer - KILO3000 BDX LASER RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS

    I’m not sure how many of you have experienced Sig warranty customer service, but I have. At last Saturday’s Border Wars match in North Dakota, sitting on a hilltop in 20-30mph winds, my spotting station took a head on gust and tipped over. One of my squad mates dove to save it, but alas, it hit...

    New brass neck tension issue

    I guess another valid questions would be what are you shooting with this? If you're shooting 223 through a carbine with 55gr crimped bullets, don't worry about it. If you're looking at making a lot of precision ammo for 1/2 moa long range shooting, that's a different task. How I treat my 6.5CR...

    New brass neck tension issue

    Being someone who anneals my precision brass each firing, my personal practice is to take my necks down a bit tighter than necessary and pull a carbide ball through them. I've also noticed after about 2-3 times through the process of anneal/resize my brass is very consistent through the rest of...

    New brass neck tension issue

    I _always_ size new brass as part of my prep process.

    Shooting glasses for shooting scoped rifles?

    I've played with this for a while and it's a pain in this ass. That said, the best thing I've found thus far are the large windshield style glasses like the Wiley-X Sabers or Oakley Ballistic Si type glasses. These seem to interfere least with my optics and provide sun/dust protection.

    300 win mag loads

    I'm run 212gr ELD-x pills over 77 gr of H1000. They are smoking out of my R700 24" 5R. * make sure you do a proper work up to this load

    Ammo storage question

    I bought a Cole-Tac, have used it now at two matches, and absolutely love it. It's the most compact and secure way to take the (generally) 100 rounds you'll need for a match plus an extra 20 for zeroing and the such. I don't like rounds rattling around in ammo boxes in my pack. I was looking at...

    Horizontal Reticle Shake

    What’s the weight of the trigger? Also, do you have good trigger follow through (e.g. not slapping the trigger)?

    Best Caliber for PRS for Rem 700 Long Action Mag FED AICS (300win conversion choices)

    Currently it’s a tuned up R700. I’m probably going to order an ARC long action to match my ARC Nucleus short action.
