    Bullet length and pressure

    On the left we have a nosler 175gr something On the right is a 175gr SMK Mag length is my limitation here, so I will have to seat the nosler deeper into the case to get an acceptable overall length. For the SMK I am using 43.0 gr of IMR4064. I can hear the nosler crunch powder trying the same...

    Case prep stations

    What is everyone using for a case prep station? The Lyman looks super intriguing. I've used the RCBS station but it felt like the motors were under powered, I wanted more torque. Any new heat out there I don't know about?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST vs SWFA SS 3-15x

    Is this a bad idea? I'm seriously considering selling my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x FFP for a SWFA SS 3-15x. The Vortex has been decent, I did have to send it in for repair once. I have an older SS 3-9 on another rifle and it honestly feels like it has more solid construction than the Vortex. I...

    Rifle Scopes Bad deal?

    Have a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x FFP. Considering trying to trade it for a SWFA SS 3-15x42. Feature wise the only differences I see are magnification and illumination. I expect the construction on the SWFA to be slightly better. Glass comparison I have no clue. I have the SWFA SS 3-9 and I love...

    iOS must have apps

    What apps do ya'll like having handy for field/range purposes? For instance I'm using Bullet Flight (probably the quickest field calculator), Shooter (best value for the money) and Ballistic AE (Lets you get the deepest into tweaking details, but the interface takes some getting used to)...

    Gas blocks and accuracy

    This might be kind of a weird question. Currently I am running a RRA and am considering putting a free floated hand guard on there; with the hopes of squeezing some more accuracy out of it. It has the standard fixed front sight block so I figured I would have to go with a lo-pro gas block to do...

    Loose primers

    What are the potential dangers and/or problems with loose primers in brass? I have a bunch of Federal brass which I understand has a habit of developing loose primer pockets, and I have felt a couple that seated a little too easy. What issues could I experience? Thanks

    MOA at sub 100 ranges

    MOA is pretty easy to figure out at 100 yard increments, but how do you go about reckoning it at shorter ranges like 25, 50 or 75 yards?

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 10/22 trainer

    Seating depth variations

    I just got done loading 20 rounds and have been having a problem that is bugging me. I'm using a RCBS single stage press with Hornady dies. For whatever reason, I'm getting a variation in my COL of +/- .004 or so from zero, measured with a comparator. If a cartridge ends up a little long and I...

    Resizing problem

    At least I think it is. I've been frequently having a problem where my reloaded ammo doesn't want to chamber nicely. Sometimes I have to force the bolt closed. Occasionally I will get one that just won't chamber at all and is a PITA to get back out of the rifle. This is I'm sure an elementary...

    Rifle Scopes Ran out of adjustment

    I brought this up in the shout box last night and got some ideas from people, and I'm planning on calling the scope company as well. Maybe if I throw this out to the group at large someone else will have an idea. Here's what I've got going on. Remington 700 with a 20 MOA badger rail, SWFA rings...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Upgrade Dilemma

    Currently my rifle has a Leupold Vari X-iii 3.5-10x with just a basic cross hair on it. I am happy with clarity of the scope but it is lacking a couple of features that I would like. Putting a mil dot or TMR reticle in it is one I can fix pretty easy by sending it back to the custom shop...

    Bolt Bounce

    This probably a shut up and train kind of issue, but I wanted to ask for opinions none the less. I was out at the range today dry firing at 100yds and noticed my cross hairs were shifting ever so slightly as the firing pin went forward. More than likely this has to do with something I'm doing...
