    Rifle Scopes Practical zero range

    I've done what I assume most people do when they zero their scopes. I set them all up for a 100 yard zero. Whether it's a muzzle loader for hunting, or one of my 6.5 tactical long range rigs - 100 yard zero is what I consistently do. That got me thinking, why do I do it on my varmint/steel...

    Detachable Box Mags Question

    I am looking at a new short action Savage build and have some questions concerning DBM's. I'm looking at possibly going with CDI for the bottom metal because they have a good reputation and they can do the stock inletting as well. The fit/functionality of CDI is supposed to be top notch, however...

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    I am considering buying a savage 110 fcp chambered in 338 Lapua. I like the savage action for it's convenience in switching out spent barrels or changing calibers. Before I commit to buying this rifle, I have been looking at my options for switching to other calibers and I have some concerns...

    redding seating mic.

    I am interested in upgrading my standard Redding seating dies with a mic gauge seating die assembly. Redding makes two styles. One is for "standard" bullets and the other is for VLD style bullets. I read that some bullets, even though they are not listed as "vld" bullets, are long enough to have...

    Range Report smk's 175g. or 180g.- am I missing something?

    I'm having a really hard time finding .308 175g. SMK's locally, and every place I look on the web is on backorder. I was looking at the 180 grain SMK. From what I can tell, the b.c.'s are the same, if not, very close. Why are 175 grain SMK's so much more popular than the 180 grain pills? I...

    Gunsmithing rra lar-8 trigger upgrade?

    Recently I bought a RRA LAR-8 Predator expecting it to have a nice, light two- stage trigger. The pull weight on my trigger is 5 lbs./10 oz. I would like a lighter pull - for me this is fairly heavy. Should I try a cheap-o JP Enterprises light spring kit and polish up the trigger? The next...

    300 wsm primed for accuracy

    I've been trying out several loads for a Rem. Xcr II in 300 wsm. I've got a few down to just under 1 moa, but I'd like to do better than that. This rifle appears to like H 4350 powder, and do to the short mag. well, I can't push the coal as long as I'd like. This leaves me thinking about...

    Rem XCR II replacement stock recommendations

    I've got an XCR II chambered in 300 WSM with the fancy olive drab/rubber inlays. It looks nice and feels good in the hands but other than that, it is a flimsy piece of injected plastic. I've already have dropped a timney trigger in the rifle and I feel replacing the stock would be the next...

    Hornady concentricity tool question

    I've been checking bullet concentricity with the Hornady concentricity tool. In order to adjust the run-out of the bullet, the tool utilizes a thumb screw to essentially push the bullet near the mouth of the case in order to correct any run-out. At times, it takes quit a bit of pressure to push...

    RCBS .308 AR die set vs. standard die sets?

    I'm gearing up to reload for an AR chambered in .308. I was getting ready to pick up a standard set of dies when I saw RCBS has this AR series of dies for both .223 and .308. As far as I've read, it's supposed to have a small base resizing die and the seating die has a tapered crimp rather than...

    Rifle Scopes Scope shims?

    If I want to get an additional 20 moa cant on my scope are shims an acceptable means of doing so? I've read that it was fairly common in the past to use brass shims, that were just a few thousandths in thickness, to get additional elevation adjustment out of the scope. I was looking at Badger...

    Lee factory crimping die experiences

    I haven't range tested my loads with the Lee factory crimp die yet. I did work some up for my 300 wsm and .308 RRA Lar 8 using a modest amount of crimp with the Lee die. Has anyone used this die, and if so, have you found any enhanced accuracy with it?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST, Weaver Tac, or SWFA for 1,000 meters?

    I've had a Vortex 6-24 PST on "order" for over three months now with no delivery date in sight. I'm getting impatient now. I'm debating canceling the order and getting a similar Weaver Tac or looking into the SWFA SS line up. My goal is to set up a weapon for 1,000 meter shooting. I will mount...
