    That looks great! Has me thinking I wouldn't mind sending one back to have the top and rear of slide serrated as well as recoated. Can you comment on what those items cost?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    Love my G29's (two third gens); carry them, shoot them, never had an issue. Tried a G19 third gen and it kept throwing brass in my face, sent it back to Glock and it came back still throwing brass in my face. Ended up selling that particular G19 but it wouldn't stop me from buying another one...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 29 barrel

    Have a KKM in my 29. Sent it back to open up the throat a bit, but they paid for everything and the CS was great.

    Black Hills Ammo issue

    Can't comment on the 180 Accubond specifically but I've had the same experience as the others; while my primary 308 does great with Hornady, Federal, and Remington match ammo it just never shot well with the Black Hills.

    Why is Fed. 50cal a third of the price for the 338 Lapua?

    Agreed; it's not terribly expensive if you reload and buy in quantity. I can actually beat the prices I listed, but admit I am very opportunistic about purchasing reloading components. I tried to use real world numbers that one could find at the drop of a hat. If you're willing to wait and...

    Rifle Scopes Offensive title changed lol. Scope rings broke, What do you suggest I buy now?

    Are you truly so stupid as to think the name of the company is "Seekens" and continue using it when the proper spelling has been demonstrated in numerous other posts?

    What method do you prefer? (POLL)

    Just wondering what method is most popular. Feel free to chime in with what's worked, what hasn't and what you'd recommend. Always looking to learn as I'm a bit "old school" myself.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ed brown 1911 custom work smith needed

    That is the best solution and hopefully it won't be too long of a wait. Brown just recently, for the first time in years, got to a point where they have managed to eat through a lot of their back log and actually have several standard models in stock. If, for whatever reason, you don't go with...

    So, I decided to take apart my rifle.

    From the original post when the OP took delivery of the gun- "Ive got the load for this gun now and had 5 rd groups in the .100s"

    Help: Gap 338 Lapua tight chamber. Small Base die??????????

    I would be interested in there is a solution out there; to add to my prior post I have used two different Forster dies (ordered years apart) as well as a Redding and the issue was there. To be clear it's not an enormous amount of effort required to open the bolt by any means, just slightly more...

    Help: Gap 338 Lapua tight chamber. Small Base die??????????

    I've had two 338 LM's that were chambered with PT&G reamers and they both do this with low pressure loads. I've just learned to live with it. In my case the first 2-4 firings aren't so bad, but firings 5+ it gets more noticeable. I primarily use Forster FL dies where I am bumping the shoulder...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best Wilson Combat?

    Entirely subjective. thebolt likes the TE, I personally don't like flanged barrels so I'd go with something else. Obviously it's all personal taste. Wilson would probably tell you the Supergrades are the best.

    Hornady lnl progressive vs single stage press

    There can definitely be some quirks. When I went to go setup my casefeeder for 44 I followed the little table in the manual for what "foot" to use; after struggling with it I realized there was a typo in the table. I've used friends 650's and found them to be excellent, but without owning one I...

    Hornady lnl progressive vs single stage press

    I have a case feeder on my LNL AP (for several years now) and it hasn't been problematic at all. Must have been an issue with your setup?
