    Just got my first Thumler's Tumbler and SS media from STM

    Just picked it up from the post office! Looking forward to getting to try this puppy out! I do have one question though... I'm at work for 12 to 14 hours a day, I was thinking about running the tumbler for 3-4 hours while I'm at work using a timer. Set it to start about 4 hours before I get...

    Need a new scale...

    Well, a while back my Lyman 1200 POS stopped working, sent it off for repair and I'll be selling it when I get it back. Anyways, I'm looking for a new scale. I'm looking at either getting a Gem Pro 250 and using my RCBS Powder Measure or going for the RCBS Chargemaster 1500. I'm leaning towards...

    Lyman DPS 1200.... POS

    I have a question for you fellas... I believe my 1200 shit the bed the other day. It powers up normally and goes through the "warm-up" but if I hit cancel, nothing happens. After the warm up, I can press any button and nothing happens at all... I've tried unplugging it and leaving it plugged...

    Gunsmithing Longer Mags for a .338LM?

    I'm planning on ordering a Manners T4A for my Savage 110BA. I run Berger 300's that are seated too long for the magazine... I was just wondering if there is an out fit out there that builds a magazine with an internal length of 4".

    30-06 Load data

    I'm helping a buddy do some handloads for his 30-06. He went with a Barnes 180gr TTSX. He's suppling H4350. I don't have a Barnes Manual at the moment... I'd appreciate it very much if someone could help me out with this. Thanks

    Reloading Component and Equipment Purchases

    I need some info from you guys... I'm having a hard time finding information about purchasing components in the US. I'm Canadian and I'll be heading south of the border in a while and I'd REALLY like to be picking up some stuff that is hard to come by up here. Am I able to even buy components...

    7mm RM Brass

    Where on God's Green Earth can I find some Nosler Custom or equal brass for a 7mm Rem Mag!?!? Seems to be hard to come by. Everything I could find on the interwebs either doesn't ship to Canada or it's on backorder. Every store I've checked out has an empty shelf where it should be... Any ideas?

    Photos Should I be concerned?

    I'm running with 92gr H1000 and Berger 300 OTM's... Should I be concerned with these slight ejector marks? Just to note, I did some tests with 300br SMK's and had the same markings at below book max... Can't remember if they looked like this with the minimum charge...

    Rifle Scopes TMR used for different mil values?

    I have a scope set up with a Tactical Milling Reticle, it is a rear focal plane scope (must be set at max magnification for proper use of the TMR). I was playing with the idea that if I set the scope at half of the maximum magnification, I would double the mils that each hash mark represents...

    Sticky bolt lift?

    K, here's the deal, I've been working on dialing in a load for my 338 LM. As per joediesel's advice, I ended up with 92 gr of H1000 to go with my 300gr Bergers. I'm using Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Sizing dies. Anyways, I didn't have an issue with "Sticky bolt lift" before (new brass)...

    Measuring seating depth questions

    I'm using a Hornady OAL Gauge to find the length from base to ogive on my 338 Lapua... Now, my question is, when I'm pushing the bullet to the lands, it will make contact, but won't mark the bullet. I can push it in with some resistance, then it will stop and mark the bullet. Would that first...
