    Barrel Break In - How Important is it?

    I have tried the more common shoot and clean for about 50 rounds and I have just zeroed in and shot. With the best quality barrels, and there are several, the no break in and shoot did just as well as the break in procedure. My two most accurate rifles have a Criterion prefit and a Kreiger...

    email malfunction

    I have my box in "General Settings" checked to have PMs sent to may email address and that worked until last week. The PMs do not come to my email anymore even though the box is still checked. Can I get a little help on this?

    Rifle Scopes Minimum Space Between Scope & Barrel?

    If you can see daylight between the two it's OK. Don't forget the cap or cover clearance.

    Rifle Scopes USO objective measurement

    Yes I have a 44mm ERGO USO on the gun now. Both scopes are 35mm. If I had either measurement, with or without the cap I can check clearance. Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes USO objective measurement

    I am trying to determine if I need different rings for my new USO with 58mm T-Pal. I want to order rings before the scope gets here if I need them. Can someone give me the OD of the objective end?

    inconsistent seating depth

    All of the above is good advice. I will add one thing that I found that greatly affects seating depth, especially when using VLD style bullets and the VLD seater plug. Neck tension or more accurately for this problem is resistance to seating. Using new Lapua neck sized brass and a Hornady...

    USO's "new" swivel level, is it level?

    My swivel type was also about 1/2 bubble off. I got a piece of mylar about .005" thick I think and put it between the mount and picatinny rail on the low side. That leveled it up. You can experiment with different thicknesses but I would not use a paper product.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    I have been using this system for about a year and have found one caveat. If you clean with the primers in the pockets and use Dillion size-decap dies then a good many primers will not decap. I had about 4000 40 S&W cases and I had about 15% over all that would not decap. Speer was the worst...

    Dillon Customer Service=Non-existant?

    I just got off of the phone with a customer rep. I had to make 5 tries to get an open line then was put on hold for about 45 minutes. That is bad but they are that busy.

    Rifle barrel expansion with increasing temperature

    Re: Rifle barrel expansion with increasing temperature Ed Kern is correct. I own a fabrication and machine shop. We frequently heat rings, (i.e. ring gears on flywheel) so that they can be easily slipped over the solid shaft or flywheel. When they cool down there is an interference fit...

    H4350 Temp/FPS change

    Re: H4350 Temp/FPS change This sounds like the load I use in my 260. I chronographed in two temperature extremes to check the temperature affect. I came up with .44 f.p.s. change/degree of temperature change. Your results are similar to mine. By contrast Varget in my 260 shooting 123 SMK has...

    Range Report 6.5 mm, 123 gr. vs. 139

    Re: 6.5 mm, 123 gr. vs. 139 Thanks for the input guys. I will make one comment on some of the comments. The best ballistic programs out there can be trusted. If you think real world experience trumps those programs then your inputs are suspect. I highly recommend Byran Litz's latest book...

    Range Report 6.5 mm, 123 gr. vs. 139

    I have determined that in my .260 the 123 SMK has a slightly flatter trajectory than the 139 Lapua or 142 SMK for the velocities that I shoot. The wind drift is the same for both bullets in a 5 m.p.h. wind at 1000 yds. The precison is approximately the same for the 123 and the 139. For tactical...
