    .338 lapua brass

    Re: .338 lapua brass I would not buy once-fired brass, ever, for anything. Brass has memory, the molecular structure of it is permanently modified each time it's fired. Resizing it does not put the molecules back the way they were, if it did you wouldn't see the case length grow with each...

    Brand new vs. Pulled 175 SMK Test

    Re: Brand new vs. Pulled 175 SMK Test Interesting comparison, but obviously the accuracy potential of the 175 SMK is beyond 1 MOA- thus I don't really feel like this proves all that much. Whether it was the shooter, the barrel, the weather, or the load (charge weight, OAL) it appear that...

    lapua brass .308 and .338

    Re: lapua brass .308 and .338 Good brass but they sure package it poorly. Every time I've ordered 338 brass, at $2.50 a piece, it shows up with dented necks! You'd think that, when I'm paying nearly twice what match grade 308 ammo costs, the could package it in a way that doesn't require you...

    Brand new Lapua brass looks like this???

    Re: Brand new Lapua brass looks like this??? The brand new 338 brass I've bought new has had dented necks. I've had to run them through a neck sizer or Sinclair mandrel to straighten them out, but by no stretch of the imagination is any new 338 Lapua brass that I've received been ready to...

    Re: Black Ops Precision Jaeger (338 LM) The delivery time got long, I can definitely sympathize there! However, the end product was worth it and after shooting this rifle I have forgotten all about how long it took.

    Re: Wheelgun smiths? The MKIII (basically the same gun as a MKV, King Cobra, and Anaconda) has sintered parts that cannot be worked without breaking through the hardened outside edge. Basically, if it's out of time, you start replacing parts until it works again. On the older style actions...
