    Resizing question

    Re: Resizing question Is the shellholder contacting the bottom of the sizing die every time? (is the handle camming over a little at the top of the stroke?) Contact should keep the shoulder at the same spot on every round or at least +/- .001". .004" of variation sounds excessive. You...

    Annealing magnum cases

    Re: Annealing magnum cases Some thoughts to ponder, or not: Get headspace measuring tools (caliper, comparator body, inserts, sinclair makes good ones) and measure your fired cases. They should all be about the same. Adjust your sizing die so that it bumps the shoulder back .001". Spacers...

    7 Rem Mag - 7 WSM - 7-08

    Re: -7mm-08 Thanks Turbo. I couldn't find much info on the 180SMK's except from Sierra's published BC's so I thought I'd ask. I have also had very good results with the 175SMK's but went ahead and ordered the 180's to give them a try.

    Re: -7mm-08 Anyone have favorite loads for 7RM and 180 SMK's? Do you notice much difference between the 175SMK's and 180SMK's?

    Gunsmithing Firing pin help with decision. Chime in!

    Re: Firing pin help with decision. Chime in! I installed one on my 700. Worth doing... I probably can't notice the fraction of a msec (thousandths of a second) delta, but in no way has it made things worse. Make a difference... The instant the trigger lets go I get a thump in the shoulder...

    Re: powered primer pocket uniforming... Trim mate, RCBS small/large uniformer, nitrile gloves. Works great. The Lyman tools also thread right in. I get better results with the RCBS VLD inside deburring tools the Lyman outside deburring tool(3 points that stick up). I also put a wire brush...

    Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock

    Re: Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock I think the NXS side parallax adjustment (focus) is quicker than twisting the front bell. Helps if you want to try to focus on mirage or reading wind half way to the target. Leupold is also a fine scope scope as well though... I have a...

    Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock

    Re: Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock bpenlandjr, I would recommend the 12-42x NXS model instead of the benchrest version if you go Nightforce. I have used a 8-32x NXS and a 12-42x NXS on a simlar setup and they are awesome. I recommend the NF direct mount, they are very solid...

    Re: Horus vision or NF... Rackit, Apologies... I thought you already ordered the Bushnell scope. My only point there was that once I got a NF, I quickly realized that my other scopes were inferior (although nothing necessarily wrong with them). I have 2 $300-600 scopes now sitting on a...

    Questions on reloading for semi-autos

    Re: Questions on reloading for semi-autos For you AR15, I would look at samples of your fired brass and size the shoulders back .003", make some dummy rounds and make sure the bolt closes and locks 100%. COAL really depends on what bullets you're using. Zediker's book on handloading for...

    What happened here?

    Re: What happened here? Figure out which operation made it look like that. If the sizing die did it try removing the expander ball and see if they come out not crushed. Are you using the right size dies for your cartridge?
