    Does annealing after sizing introduce any dimensional inconsistencies?

    I anneal every 3 shots. I have found that it very much reduces my vertical stringing at 1,000.

    Southwest Ammuntion Fraud

    So he's being sued as well? And isn't "the greater good of one's business" and "personal gain" one and the same? I have no dog in this fight, but have dealt with small business for over 20 years...being a good guy is not enough to make a business work. This guy sounds like he is in real...

    trouble hitting past 400 yards

    I'll add my vote - something is not adding up. As others have mentioned, north of 2900 fps with factory 168's from a 20 inch barrel is impossible. You noted that both initial shots at 400 and 800 were low...so the data is incorrect. What I did not see mentioned was this...note what...

    Advanced Marksmanship Catching ejected brass questions.

    I have buddy who has fallen in this trap. During rapid fire stages, he goes to catch the brass, but stops himself in mid grab so he can get back to the bolt handle faster - the worst of both worlds. He didn't even believe me when I told him he was doing it until I shot video of him on the...

    Reasons for you taking bolt-action over semi-auto?

    I can't imagine an auto loader going of 3000 rounds with out incident and holding .5 MOA like my recently dis-assembled bolt gun did.

    Just wondering

    Yeah, I would suggest reading more and posting less for the time being. Your questions come across as someone not willing to do even the least amount of homework about the knowledge base here, but someone who just came on in to Snipers Hide and posted their questions. This message board is...

    How good is good?

    I became a much better shooter when I stopped focusing on individual group size at a given day at the range. Early on, I even dreaded shooting too many groups at a given range session for fear of seeing big group and messing with my confidence in the rifle or my shooting abilities. Any 3 or...

    Maggie’s Any metal detecting enthusiasts here?

    My 9 year old daughter wanted one for her birthday and I got her a highly rated $60 model for kids and we are both having a blast. She comes in one afternoon and shows me the Wolf steel 223 case she found in the bushes by my garage. I could see myself getting into this.

    Rifle fell over, what to do next?

    I was screwing around with off hand practice and the dang 18 lb rifle slipped from my hands and hit the concrete - came down right on the edge of the USO Erek. Went to shoot and the zero was off about 1.5 inches at 100 yards. Pretty bad ass if you ask me.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 8 3.5-25x56 - WHY?

    I don't think the vendors on these type of +$4,000 scopes give one crap about the "average" individual shooter and whether or not the particular scope appeals to them in any way. These items are designed and marketed for large gov't contracts with boatloads of profit built in.

    Loose bullet seating?

    The neck thicknesses in the 2 brands of brass are probably different. When I resize, I use a neck bushing die so I can get the tension just right on the brand of brass I'm using. Different brands ofter require different bushings. Measure the OD of the neck in both loaded rounds out to .001...

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on a 260 scope

    I'd go all in with MIL or MOA, but not both. I try and think as little as possible while in a match or in a hunting situation. Thoughtless in my thoughtfulness and all that.

    Gunsmithing AICS 2.0 and AICS AX ..Anyone else consider this?

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but nothing new here. Oh, and I love everything in front of the AX trigger guard. That's why I sold this stock a few months ago.

    Gunsmithing Inside a jewell trigger

    I thought we were playing that "what's different between the two pictures" game. Jewels are built like swiss watches.

    Rifle Scopes AI .223 mag issues?

    I had the opposite problem...point of the bullet tipped up too much and was missing the chamber. I had to file down the inside front of the lip so the bullet tip lined up with the chamber better.

    Trigger pound pull

    Your posts are hard to read - is English your primary language? All my precision bolt guns are less than 2lbs.

    Reasons for lateral POI shift II

    I have challenges in this area as well. I have narrowed it done to how my right hand interacts with the stock at shot break and through recoil. But I can see it even at 100 yards as 1" of shift left or right from POA on any give shot. I'll eliminate it for a time, then it rears it's ugly...
