    LMT .308 MWS

    I have a spare lower that had the same issue. They sent me a new selector lever and had mentioned they have new coatings on it (Black now vs gray)...seems to have helped out but it still feels noticeably different from the complete MWS that I have. Their initial response was that it’s an item...

    New Reloading Room Build

    I saw this and thought it might be nice to have a second setup in one of my spare rooms rather than being holed up in the basement. I've never not used a work bench mounted to a wall though so I'm hesitant, how has this worked out for you?

    Preventing dies from rusting in a humid coastal climate

    It’s been working great, it’s just not convenient to get into. I keep the bags in an ammo can with desiccant packs and put an index card saturated with WD-40 in with the dies.

    Preventing dies from rusting in a humid coastal climate

    I’ve always been jealous of the guys that have the die holders that keep the organized and accessible but it’s never been an option for me because of the rust...I’ve been dealing with it with It using plastic bags. I would love to get something that has a drawer or something easily accessible...

    Rifle Scopes Serious Question

    Probably just a different way of saying what others have already said, but I feel like quartering the target with the Arken reticle would be more difficult given the ‘openness’ of the center of the reticle. If you can’t grab the dots quickly then that’d be the next reference I’d use to establish...

    Frank Green Bartlein Barrels Interview

    I thought the discussion about the accuracy degradation for fluted barrels for certain calibers and wall thicknesses was interesting. It had me wondering if anyone had ever investigated what was going on analytically. I wonder if there is a steep reduction in the stiffness or natural frequency...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 5HD 5-25x56 Ordered

    I have an email chain with them where they gave me the opposite feedback. They said if their backlog is causing me to miss the warranty, the rebate will be honored and to send the info to [email protected] with the receipt with proof for the date of purchase and a photo of the UPC...

    After over a decade of reloading it finally happened:(

    Same here with avoiding the spray lube...I started out with the Franklin Arsenal spray lube in the zip lock bag and had a stuck case along with inconsistent head spacing. I bought the RCBS kit and heard everyone on the site say how rolling the brass on the pad was a non value added operation so...

    LMT .308 MWS

    I find myself using the bolt release on the right side most of the time now especially when shooting with a rear bag and the bolt catch on the right 100% of the time.

    Do you mind showing one at 18x also?

    Rifle Scopes SCAR scope problems?

    That’s a good point about using the correct mount. Also when selecting a mount with throw levers or anything protruding out the side, make sure it’s not on the same side as the charging handle. It may make the difference between a 20 MOA mount being a nice feature vs a PITA.

    Rifle Scopes SCAR scope problems?

    I ended up swapping my Kahles out for a Gen II razor a couple years ago. It’s been fine so far but the reason I did it was for the piece of mind that if it were to break later on I wouldn’t have any hassles with the Vortex warranty.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I’m guessing your wait will be about 70% the duration they’re telling you based on my experience. John has been proactive about keeping me in the loop without me needing to ask him for updates. It seems like there were some contracts that came up in early January and changes to the production...

    Rifle Scopes GenI Razor 1-6 JM vs Kahles 16il 3gn??

    I have both and personally prefer the Vortex. The illumination in both is comparable but I prefer the controls on the Kahles...with that being said, I prefer all the controls on the Kahles especially for the magnification. The main reason I prefer the Vortex is because I feel like you see less...

    Pierced Primers, Lapua and AI AE

    This is a problem with 308 and they are large primers. It seems a little strange it is just happening with Lapua ammo. Other people don't seem to be having this problem with Lapua so I wonder if the firing pin problem is applicable to 308 also.

    Pierced Primers, Lapua and AI AE

    A few years ago I had bought some Lapua ammo to shoot out of my AI AE MkIII and experienced my first pierced primer. I ended up putting those rounds off to the side and started shooting mainly FGMM and hand loads without any problems or other pierced primers since. Recently i came across a deal...

    Rifle Scopes Sig optics service experience

    I had a problem with one of their optics and called them up and explained it to them. They gave me a shipping label and within 2 weeks I received a brand new optic from them which has been working fine.

    Ep. 161 Favorites

    Didn’t he mention something along the lines of it not being designed for the high pressure rounds even though it is capable of handling it? I took that to mean that it is safe to shoot the 6.5 Creedmoor out of the AXMC but the bolt design didn’t go through the same technical rigor, more of a backfit

    Sizer not sizing all brass the same??

    What is the general consensus as far as what is good for a head space tolerance? Idk if I have yet to have a batch yet where I’ve measured every single one to be the same exact measurement to the thousandth of an inch. I’m usually pretty complacent if one of every several is .001” off. It could...
