    Opinion on Spotter Choice

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig 226 15rd -> 20rd SCT

    I'm looking but having no luck - does Sig or anyone else sell just the extended base pad to convert a 15rd magazine to the 20 rd 'SCT' magazine? Is this even an option?

    Which seating stem to I need / have?

    I have a ~3 year old Redding micro seating die for .308. The opening in the seating stem fit my 178gr A-max 'perfectly' (no wiggle). I'm working with 175gr SMKs now, and there is some wiggle room. Concentricity on my A-maxes are almost perfect, but .003 on my SMKs. I know there is debate on...

    Gunsmithing Palma Barrel Weights

    Does anyone have the barrel weight of medium and heavy Palma contours when finished at 24"/26"? Hard to compare to straight tapers when weight estimates are w/ 30"+ (~5.4# and ~6.5# respectively). Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Medium Action Options

    Thinking about a .284 or 7mm SAUM build in the future. Short actions really seem to limit these cartridges w/ 180+ gr pills, but I am not willing to go to a full long action. Is there a way to make a 591 action a 'medium' action with some milling? I know Defiance makes some Medium actions...

    Any Rifles with Whitley Palma Contour?

    About to start a 260 build and was debating med or heavy Palma contour for the barrel. Came across the 'Whitley Med. Palma" which I have never heard of before.

    Gunsmithing New Huber Trigger Review?

    I searched and found LL's review of the original Huber trigger as well as other input here. The bump fire issue seemed to be the only real negative feedback. I seems late last year a new version came out which addresses this issue and improves the design overall...

    Hornady Brass Question

    New reloader looking to get a Redding bushing die so started by measuring some factory rounds to get an idea of the right bushing size. Thinking I would just follow the Redding guidance, I measured a factory loaded round (308 Win 168 gr A-MAX) and the number without deviation is .3335. So...
