    Storage of powder, primers, and general safety

    I roughly followed these directions to make 1" nominal solid wood cabinets per NFPA, separate ones for powder and primers. There's just spring pressure and a little friction holding the doors closed, no latch. Dehumidifier running in the room during the summer.

    Sig Kilo 10k ABS

    10% off anyway: https://www.basemap.com/coupon/ Sorry for the digression. These binos look awesome and someday they'll be in budget. I wish they had wind buttons but other than that they seem awesome.

    Trail Cam Recommendations

    I've used Moultrie (works fine) and a Spypoint (junk that could never get to work, despite many CS calls). But the Tactacam Reveals (my FIL and I have three Reveal and one Reveal X) have been amazing. The biggest issue is finding any in stock.

    Precision Rifle Gear Adaptive Tuner - Kinetic Security Solutions

    I'll disagree somewhat here. 'Good reloading practices' is doing a lot of work in your statement and often what it would call for isn't practical. The key advantage of a tuner is being able to tune in pre-loaded ammo (factory or handloads) immediately. For instance, my range is an hour from my...

    6BR family: Other than Varget?

    I second the N140, my 6 BRA fireforming load is 29.6 gr, gets me about 2780 with 105's. N150 also ought to work, but I'd expect 8208 to be too fast for 108's.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Go for a shouldered prefit. No issues with mine, bought from a guy on here and put it on my Tikka action, headspaced just like on his action (fired brass was identical).

    Trouble with the bra

    I had a similar issue with a BRA chamber set to BR headspace, documented here and here. I tried loading for a hard jam (0.025" in or so) at a slightly reduced load (29.0 gr N140) and ended up piercing 205M primers. My fireform load had been 29.6 gr which wasn't hot at all so I think this is from...

    Current Best Hand Priming Tool

    I had the K&M hand primer with the depth gauge, it was super slow and finicky to use. Got the Frankford Arsenal one and it's way better. And it's cheaper.

    Gunsmithing Tikka 300 Win Mag Extended COAL Modifications

    If you're running the factory bottom metal and mags, you'll want that tab. There's and XL bolt stop and aftermarket bottom metals like Red Snake Tactical that can get you into long action AICS mags. If you're trying to stick with factory mags you'll be limited though.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    It's only the stock that has a larger cutout for the CTR bottom metal, the receivers are the same on the bottom. The ejection port is slightly larger on the T3x's. Edit: I'm wrong.

    Lapua or alpha 6bra brass?

    Lots of great reviews from Accurate Shooter on the Alpha brass. But as said above, Lapua is consistently great too, you can't go wrong. FWIW, personally if the Alpha were available after I built my gun that's what I would have started with, just to save some wear on the barrel.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The Woox Furiosa used the factory bottom metal and single stack mags, not sure if it can also for the CTR bottom metal (which is just a bit wider). Though that begs the question if it's properly a chassis.

    AR10 Optic Advice: Sig Tango6 or Tract Toric

    If you're not concerned about weight, I'd look at the ETR 3-18. https://cameralandny.com/shop/brands/athlon-optics/athlon-optics-ares-etr-3-18x50-aprs6-ffp-ir-mil-uhd-212106/23656310-2254-0139-6d8d-00163ecd2826?variation=2891653 If you want more lightweight, there have been some great deals in...

    12" ish Barrel 6.5 Grendel

    Thanks, I only recently found some LVR in stock so I'll be working on that more, hoping to get over 2400 fps. But yeah, this data (in 36 F) is a good match to G7= 0.283, and they've been great on deer. I'm not in a hurry to build an AR pistol given current possible regulation, but I love this round.
