    Sizer not sizing all brass the same??

    I’ve had good luck getting more consistent measurements after FL sizing after I started rolling the cases with lube on a pad. I used to see it as an unnecessary step when I can just smother it with what I thought was a consistent film of lube other ways, but not anymore

    Kestrel 5700 "Applied Ballistics" vs "Elite Ballistics"

    That makes much more sense, knew it was too good to be true. Thanks.

    Kestrel 5700 "Applied Ballistics" vs "Elite Ballistics"

    So the base model of the 5700 with Link is $399, the Elite is $699, and the upgrade to turn the base model to the Elite is $190. So with the base model and the upgrade we're looking at a 'built-up' Elite for $589 vs $699 for the Elite. Am I missing something or is it really just 19% more...

    Buttstock for Precision 308

    I think I remember Elfster talking about going with that stock over the Magpul and he seemed to like it from what I remember...it seems like he’d be a good person to compare the two

    Best brass/media separator

    Don’t bother with the Franklin arsenal with the bucket and the rotary pieces, it makes a mess. I use it by pouring into the colander and put a latex glove on and shake and stir around to separate...I need to get a new one with an enclosed container

    Optic for big gas gun

    What mount are you using? The durability of the optic seems like it’s only a portion of the solution. I’m not sure what engineering work went into the dedicated SCAR mounts but sometimes different attachment methods and changing the natural frequency of the attachment can be engineered so...

    Zero Fucks Given LOL, The Everyday Sniper Podcast with Mike 9mm

    Did i understand this correctly?...when Mike gets frustrated or bored at the range he sometimes likes to go skeet shooting using pieces of brass and his 22 pistol?...i had to play that back a couple times because what i am picturing in my head loos ridiculous

    So what are the rules now???

    I have a hard time seeing anyone in a branch of the government being okay with allowing a firearm to be either a rifle or pistol depending on how it’s setup since most states have different laws associated with purchasing one over the other. If a rifle is simple to buy in one state but...

    Seekins SP10 Initial Experience & Questions

    I’ve been wondering what’s been updated with the new version 2. From looking online all I can see is the trigger and the stock though. There should have been an everyday sniper podcast where they talk about the features of the new one but didn’t really answer my questions as far as a side by...

    Bullet Strikes Brake

    That’s what I was thinking too and was wondering if it could have just been slightly glancing off for the first however many times it was shot then one time the fatigue caused a brittle failure or a plastic deformation resulting in an obstruction in front of the desired trajectory. I’d think...

    Bullet Strikes Brake

    How was the rifle shooting for the first 300 rounds and did you get any muzzle velocities?

    Rifle Scopes Wet or dry torque?

    The fasteners torque down to create a preload which clamps the lapped surfaces together and the combination of the coefficient(s) of friction between the two surfaces and the clamping force keeps the two surfaces together. The higher the clamping force, the more secure the connection will be...

    Using garage space for reloading?

    I keep all my dies and everything inside and bring it out when I am using it. I remember seeing one of Elfster's videos where he recommended putting the dies in ziplock bags with some WD-40 sprayed on an index card, I've been doing that recently and time will tell how much it helps. Always...

    Gap 10 vs. Lrp07 vs. Sp10

    It looks like Seekins has made some updates to their 6.5 SP10 like providing their own stock (rather than the Magpul) and ditching the CMC trigger for a Timney. Does anybody else know any more specifics? It doesn't seem to be clearly outlined anywhere which makes me think it was just those two...

    Youtube to ban reloading videos?

    This is unfortunate to see but I'm sure if it's really as bad as everyone is thinking there will be a mass migration to a new site which will grow with their new support base...to be honest this might be a good thing to help facilitate that change. What I'm really concerned about is for people...

    Rifle Scopes What Case for rifle with a scope

    There are also soft cases designed to fit inside the shell of the Pelican hard cases...it gets a little pricey but the link below pairs with a Pelican 1750 (which I rarely use now). If you were to take the Tikka on a cruise with you I would recommend storing the rifle in a gun sock, in the soft...

    New member from RI

    Welcome, nice to see another Rhode Islander here. I feel like I usually start hearing about the Groton Sportsman's Club (in CT) also opening up their 600 yard range and having an open field day event during the spring time.

    Seekin’ advice on Seekins Precision Rifles - ?

    I've been lurking in the threads in this section of the forums where people are talking about 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor AR's. It has been a popular topic lately and I've been making some mental notes about what I hear since it'll probably be my next purchase. It seems like JP, GAP, KAC and LMT...

    Sticky bolt/hard to extract.

    Interesting to see this thread with PPU brass, I've been having a lot of trouble with mine lately. My problems had to do more with a sticky bolt lift with a mild load. Like you I was neck sizing and unfortunately FL sizing didn't help, actually made it worse. I'm at a loss for what's going...
