    Is anyone else worried?

    I'm young, 28yro... I just got my first expensive custom build in this past deer season... shoots like a dream. But I can see where your coming from because I grew up out in the country and even as a very young kid my parents just bought me brick of .22 lr after brick... I was a shooting...

    Remoing the spacer on an AI mag???

    I have to run mine like this. I wish they would just make them longer... The whole custom rifle and guru consumers want longer mags every time for room to beathe... socks they won't just make them like that.

    Dramatic Loss of Accuracy past 100 yards. Anyone have any idea what is going on here

    Rookie mistake! Do your load development at 200 or 300 yards... not 100.... gives you a better idea what's going on... I've had that happen with a 23rd before.... If you test at 100 your basically getting a 100 yard load... shoot out further to get a true visual of what's going on... you...

    What fps do you get- 338 lapua

    What fps do yall get out of your 338 lapuas shooting 300 grain berger otm and retumbo powder? What's your go to load with 300 grain bergers? I know many people shoot Sierra 300s but I've had way too good of luck with bergers to start anywhere different.. I'll be running a 28, 29, or 30...

    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    Get a different brand piece of bras and neck size it only... I bet it fits.. neck is what my next guess was but I didn't get to this thread until now... yep I agree with the above... The lap a brass is thicker and it's probably the problem... Easy to solve too.... sell it and get nobler...

    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    I was looking for marks on the bullet itself right there on the ogive, not the brass... If you have marks on the bullet that means they are loaded too long and and getting pushed into the lands when you try to chamber a round... seat the bullet a tad deeper and re try... If you are getting...

    260 with Lapua Brass, H4831sc and Berger Hybrid 140's -- Anyone??

    H4350 is what my rifle likes too with berger 140s.. seating depth is paramount... I wouldn't waste time on 4831sc for a 260..

    Landlord keeps forcing me to hide my stash

    You better read your lease. Landlrod normally do not legally have a right to enter a tenants dwelling whenever they want. Unless it's a college campus... I've seen that there but it's in the lease...

    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    It's not heard of enough but a 260 remington chamber isn't exactly set up to shoot 139/140 grain bullets best.... it's made for 120s and 130s... The chambering that is correct and made just for 139 and 140 bullets is called a 260 tactical.... it has a slightly longer throat is the difference...

    Chambering Issue When Neck Sizing Lapua Rem 260 Cases

    Take one of your seated rounds from neck sizing only and get a marker and blacken up the bullet from in front of the ogive to the case mouth/start of the brass..... then chamber it/ extract it and see if you get markings from the bullet getting pushed into the lands... that would cause the...

    More Barrel Life with 6.5 Creedmore vs .260???

    I run a 260 tactical chamber to seat 140 great bergers right... I full expect to have a long barrel life with it... The 260 and 65 creed aren't blazing fast 2900 for plus rounds anyways... I wouldn't worry about barrel life. It's going to be about as normal is normal is... 6.5x284 however...

    The Great 7mm Debate!

    I guess secondary issues for me come in with quality components... for example your not going to find 7WSM Lapua brass... Though I hear nosler is making really good brass now... Brass quality would be my next issue and I wont buy winchester or remington brass for reloading.

    The Great 7mm Debate!

    I've been in the planning stages for a while, still finishing up some other builds... I've researched it all a lot, but god it is still hard to decide what 7mm I want to go with... 284win, 284 Shehane, 280AI, 7SAUM, 7WSM etc etc... I love the look of the 284 case.... and I always like to...

    So much for Lapua brass

    I had some 260 I got in the other week that wasnt perfectly round, and some case mouths were out of round... running them through the die set fixed it all, but I still wasnt happy with the quality that lapua is starting to drop to... I have been starting to hear of a lot of problems.
