    To Arbor Press or not?

    Dunno about the rest of the crowd. Pretty sure @padom shoots a little better than that on occasion ;) I know I do. That said... I can seat loaded rounds with an sleeved/inline micrometer seating die (Forster, Redding, etc.) off my 550 that rivals what I get out of my K&M arbor press + Wilson...

    Anyone here using the Hornady A tip bullets? (.308)

    Is there a go-to amount of jump that seems to work well with these bullets in a 308?

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Got it unloaded and on the mobile base; made a trip to the Borg for a plug to fit my wall outlets. It fired right up (I'd already ran it at the seller's shop) and I ran some rough 8/4 poplar over/through it. Yay!

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Well... this is exciting... for me, at least ;) Just sold the DW735 planer. Got a guy coming to buy the 8" bench top jointer this afternoon. Why, you ask? Because I *finally* found a screamin' deal on a combo jointer/planer machine (Jet JJP-12), about five minutes from my house. Went and...

    Prefit match barrels with test target?

    For me... I'd call it a custom. Custom dimensions, done as a one-off to your specs. 'Pre-fits', at least in my mind, are more generalized - a 'standard' reamer for a common cartridge like 6.5CM (or whatever) made en masse. They still might be very high quality, and very consistent from one to...

    To Arbor Press or not?

    Might stop and consider how many people outside of this forum actually use the SAC 'Infinity' die. All the guys using arbor presses to shoot actual Benchrest, or even F-class? Probably using Wilson dies, if not custom. Just sayin'...

    Prefit match barrels with test target?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's also quite common - if not mandatory - in much of Europe for barrels to be proof tested before being shipped out. There's no such requirement here in the states, so it's more the exception than the norm for barrel makers / gunsmiths to put rounds through the...

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    Same here. Long sessions (300+ cases) make me use gloves, but if it needs more than that, something else needs fixed. If you do want to use a case holder, K&M has another one that holds the case by the body taper, rather than the rim. I'd look at that one instead. But as @padom said, try it...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Yah... when I saw that the flutes are mainly on the top, solid on the bottom, I figured they were just for aesthetics. They do look pretty. Nice to have the option, I guess.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Okay, I was just spit-ballin' that one - I don't have one on hand myself - yet. I'm working my way forward through the entire thread and saw quite a bit of early discussion about flutes/no flutes early on. Currently around page 50, starting to skip a couple pages at a time as that's...

    Is the bolt stop skipping across the fluting in the bolt body? :unsure:

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

    Well... got up to the range today with another local shooter (@Rover31) to have him put eyes on/thru the DNT, and compare/contrast with a few other scopes. We did all the eyeball comparisons with the guns still cold / no rounds through them, so no barrel/brake mirage, and it was the usual (for...
