    Primers stuck on de-capping tin

    Anybody have that happen? Any solutions? I picked up about 800 Speer, nickle plated, .40 S&W brass at the range (factory loads) and have been de-capping them before throwing in the tumbler. The primers get stuck on the pin and when it retracts, it re-seats the primer back into the pocket a...

    Arbor/hand die seating inconsistency

    trigger upgrade

    I'd like some opinions on triggers. I have a GAP 308 with a Surgeon 591 and a stock Rem trigger. I would like to try something that I can set lighter for paper punching at long range. What is your favorite trigger and why? Sorry if this is a dead horse question. Thanks!

    Powder charge accuracy/long range

    Is .1 grain close enough when shooting a 1000 yards or more? I am loading 45.0 Varget for my 308 rounds and have only been able to get to a 500 yard range so far. Soon I am going to go to a longer range and am just wondering if it matters if you are at .1 or is it better to get a finer charge...

    Advanced Marksmanship POA/POI not the same ?

    My POI's are not always where the reticle is when the rifle goes off. I am new to long range, prone shooting but I love it and want to be better. I have been shooting for 3 or 4 months and have gotten better but I'm kind of stuck. I just got a GAP 308 in an AI and got it all adjusted and I...
