    Finding lands with Loctite

    I just watched a video that used red Loctite to find lands. It looks simple. Anyone doing that?

    sizing issue

    I started sizing a batch of 223 this morning. I noticed brass shavings and it seems the outside of the neck is being shaved down a bit. I can even feel with my fingernail just before the shoulder a slight edge. What am I doing wrong? This is a standard Lyman sizer.

    following the vapor trail

    Seeking advice. I have looked through cheap $120 units that suck and I have seen through $3k Swaros and NightForce. I still can't see a vapor trail. Because I'm not rich, and the range I use has these and they are good, I bought a Hawke ENDURANCE ED 25-75x85. In short, it's the operator, not...

    seating die question

    Bear with me because I'm new to loading. If a person buys a bushing die set the seating die is the same as a standard set, right?

    Rifle Scopes distance between scope rings

    bout to put these Seekins rings on the EGW mount, by my way of thinking the rings should be as far apart as operationally possible, Is there a better more experienced theory on this matter?

    Rifle Scopes 30mm rings

    what's the best... just kidding, I am going to buy my first pair of quality (hopefully) rings for my new scope. Please recommend rings at or under $100 that you are pleased with. I like things made in the USA. Made in Texas is even better but a stretch. Thanks for your recommendations.

    round count for development?

    I have only loaded for my 6.8mm and was loading only in increments of .5gr of powder from the listed minimum. 10 each until I reached pressure. I'm about to load 308 for a bolt rifle I'm demanding more precision from. I'm thinking 5, five shot groups is a minimum before I can get a good idea...

    brass cleaning frequency

    I didn't feel right hijacking the recently posted thread about rock tumblers so I created a new one. I hope it's cool, I try not to ask too many question but rather read read read and learn. I already had a HF cheapo tumbler for ball milling pyro compositions prior to reloading and at my pace...

    neck turning for uniformity

    Are you guys doing it? Which one do you use? I'm considering the K&M w/ drill adapter or the Hornady but don't know anyone using them personally.

    Benchrest primers and Fed. Gold Medal Match

    This will be my first time loading my 308 with LRP and choosing seems to be a crap shoot. I understand that 1 may work better in my gear than another. My question is are these match/benchrest primers more consistent? I really don't mind spending the extra funds if they are better. What is the...

    Rifle Scopes Talley 1 piece rings

    First I want to start by saying once I collect enough pennies to get the scope I want the 1 inch scope and rings will be retired or re-purposed. Until then, I need 1 inch rings for what I have and stumbled on Talley. Bases and rings are 1 piece. What is the public opinion of these?

    DBM kit/upgrade

    I have a Rem700 ADL with a Choate Ultimate Varmint stock. This stock is not inlet for the BDL or DBM which has suited me fine until now. I have an interest in going with DBM like the Badger M5. Correct me if I'm wrong but for the DBM to be installed I would simply have my smith inlet stock for...

    Gunsmithing torque wrench

    Can you gentlemen recommend a quality torque wrench that won't cost me a bunch? I only use one a few times a year but don't want to trust my torque settings to crap tooling. Gary

    practice dummy

    I once read that it is helpful to practice by dry firing. This is to know the trigger, have proper body position become comfortable/natural, and muscle memory. In that article it was stated that a dummy round should be used. Obviously no powder charge and a piece of pencil eraser in place of the...

    Redding 1400XT case trimmer

    I got this online and it is in good shape. I trimmed some cases Sunday with it and found I could not get a finer adjustment than around .005". Is that normal for this type trimmer? What tolerance is required for superior quality hand loads? Or, should I trim close to the minimum, and as long as...

    PPU brass

    I did search and found little info on this topic. I recently started shooting 308 again and bought some PPU because it's cheap and to get familiar with the rifle. I'm very new to reloading. Loaded my first 30 rounds for 6.8mm Sunday staggered at .5 grains of powder. Once I get better tooling...

    Howdy

    I live in Ft. Worth and work in Grapevine. I have been shooting since I was 7. I have property in East Texas where I do all my shooting. I have been interested in shooting LR for a while but never dove in due to costs. Now I'm wading in. I'm here to read and learn. Thanks for having me. Gary
