    WTB or WTT powder/primers for 105 Hybrids in MN

    Thanks all. Must have missed Powder Valley, they're showing OOS now (even after I log in). Graf's has them and I know things are tight but 0.51 ea before shipping is steep. I may order them but testing the waters here first.

    Rem700 LA in 284win questions...

    What brass do you plan on using? Besides the freebore, pretty sure most match reamers are made for necked up 6.5-284 Lapua brass. The neck is thinner and I think it's a little wider near the case head than Win brass.

    6 BRA chamber too long for brass

    Hi all, having an issue with my 6 BRA, I've got some used 6 BRA brass from two guys on here and it's 0.06 - 0.012" shorter at the shoulder than cases fired in my barrel. Edit to add: Using the Hornady B350 comparator: Virgin Lapua 6BR: 1.155" Fired 6BRA in my chamber, unsized: 1.178" Other...

    First Rifle build

    Tikkas are great matches for WSMs loaded with heavy bullets when they have the long action bolt stop (and a faster twist barrel). They're almost a medium action since they're limited to about 3.2" iirc. I'm slowly pricing together a long action 284 Win Tikka hunting build. Carbon 6 is a good...

    Autotrickler V3 granite surface plate size.

    It sounds like what you would want is silicone rubber between 25 and 75 Shore durometer. Beyond that unless someone posts damping test charts its not going to be easy to tell silicone grades apart. Here are some Shore 60 feet 'platinum grade' with 150 lb capacity. Surely overpriced but that's...

    Autotrickler V3 granite surface plate size.

    The point is the mass, and isolation via rubber feet. https://www.graniteisolator.com/operation.html And it's common in high precision applications (if they don't already use a vibration table). https://us.vwr.com/store/product/21096236/vwr-granite-platform-with-anti-vibration-isolation

    What mag kit to use for 6br,6 dasher, 6bra

    There's a few kits (HRD, Primal Rights) or you can get the MDT BR mags. I run the latter for BRA and they're great.

    Nature is healing?

    As seen at the Scheel's in Eden Prairie MN yesterday. There's at least some supply out there, obviously it will be quickly overwhelmed by demand given the low price ($4 each) but seems like an encouraging sign. Edit: Just heard from someone who said they got the last couple yesterday afternoon...
