    After testing many expensive powder measures, I now use a $20 Lee and it is just as accurate as the Harrell's or Redding or ...>place name here< If you want long range accuracy, you will need to weigh powder with an accurate scale. Over the course of 100 throws, every powder thrower I've used...

    Huber vs CG Extreme

    I have and like CG triggers. You can adjust them and swap out springs to get whatever feel you are are looking for. I had a chance to play with a Huber. It feels nice, BUT the first stage did not reset properly when I released it. This is a big no-go in my book. Any real two-stage trigger...

    Blowing primers screwing custom guns up.

    Blowing primers is an indication of TOO MUCH PRESSURE. Stop using the Hornady Super-exploding-primer ammo. It's not any more complicated than that. Now, your firing pin problem may be related to a piece of the blown primer getting stuck in the firing pin raceway. You should always remove the...

    Action Comparison (Stiller, Surgeon, Defiance, etc...)?

    Not a Surgeon fan: owned several and had problems with all of them. Stiller actions are well made and reasonably priced. BAT actions are the king of the benchrest field: probably the best machining in the business. Defiance is my personal favorite: have owned 5 or 6 and now I'm switching over...

    F T/R Competition Custom Bipod Features

    I have been using the Sinclair GenIII with adjustable elevation since it came out. While it is a good bipod, I'm still in search of something better. It has a little bit of wobble that I find annoying: will be giving the Duplin bipod a shot. I've also tried Censhot & Rempels. The Rempel...

    Looking for a good 30mm 20 moa cam-lock mount that returns to 0 with out the bank

    Guess it depends on your standard of accuracy. For long-range shooting, detachable scope mounts are not the right tool for the job. For 3-gun and short range stuff.....no problem. I tried using a Larue mount more than a few times in F-class matches: moved point of impact around no matter how...

    Best Dies for a XL650? 45 ACP, 223 and 308

    Can't speak to the pistol stuff, but there is not reason you cannot continue to use your Redding rifle dies. The Whidden floating die toolheads are the way to go for the rifle stuff.

    primer tool what do you recommend

    The Sinclair used to be the best single-load primer tool. That is no longer the case. The 21st Century Single-load priming tools is much better. It is a breeze to adjust, very fast to change shellholders and primer sizes. It's really perfection. Talk to anyone who has tried both: they will...

    PTG "Stealth" bottom metal vs "Flush" M5 style...

    Re: PTG "Stealth" bottom metal vs "Flush" M5 style... Stealth - $120 Badger M5 - $360 Functionally they are identical and if anything the Stealth is better. Why would anyone buy the Badger now? DBM makers having been raping us for years with overpriced scraps of metal. Thank you Dave Kiff!

    F T/R Competition Which .223 rifles are you using for F-Class / 1k?

    Re: Which .223 rifles are you using for F-Class / 1k? I have a 223 bolt gun that shoots lights out with Hornady 80 A-Maxes. Shot a Fullbore match with it: 300, 600, 800, 1K. I was leading F-TR....until I got to 1K. Had only dropped 5 points up to 800 yards and then dropped 17 at 1K....it...

    Multicam Dipping

    Re: Multicam Dipping Lakota industries did a great job on several items: http://www.lakota-industries.com/ They are very experienced and know what to tape off...underside of picatinny rails for example. In spite of their good job, I find water transfer dips to be delicate....chips easier...

    Hi All, Just purchased an M5 Stealth DBM and looking for someone to install it for me in the Phoenix area: decent turn-around time and a good reputation for doing competent DBM installs. My stock is a McM A1-3 Edge-fill with an HS-Precision DBM: want to replace the HS with the M5. Thank...

    Perfect die depth

    Re: Perfect die depth Bumping the shoulder is about function, not accuracy....unless you are really over-doing it. If you are bumping enough that the bolt closes without resistance, then that is enough. The benchrest community likes to have a little resistance on the second half of bolt...

    AI vs ?

    Re: AI vs ? Not an AI fanboy and I thought the traditional stock was ugly and heavy. BUT, the AX looks pretty nice and it's hard to argue with the reliability. Just remember, the tubegun pioneered the look everyone is imitating now.:-)

    Eliseo chassis?

    Re: Eliseo chassis? The tubegun chassis has many benefits: 1. stiffens the action 2. No bedding required 3. Completely adjustable with multiple butt-stock options. 4. About the cheapest/fastest way to build a top-flight rifle vs traditional stocks. 5. Great for multiple disciplines: can...
