    .338 Lapua....on Remington 700 platform

    So what's really going on with the complaints of the Rem 700 .338 Lapua? I was considering buying one, but some folks say to wait. I have no clue what these complaints are.

    Primers...CCI, Fed, Win, Rem????

    Primer opinions??? I recently had some Win primer issues. Stunned because I've used them for many years with zero problems. Loading 243Win and primers are flattening like pressure issue. However, it's the same recipes I've been using for years. Full grain + under Hodgdon's max. H4350 & H4831...

    Shooting Mat with carrier

    I'm looking for a decent shooting mat. Not looking for "the best." Just a good quality mat. Personally, I still like a plain heavy duty green tarp.

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 3-10x40mm GS Tactical

    I really like this optic much more than I thought I would. So I invested in more of them. Since it's a SFP scope, I think of it as a 3-9x hunting optic with the tactical abilities on 10x. The simplistic design is perfect for me. Probably one of the most under-rated optics on the market. Looks...

    150 SMK, 155 SMK & 155 Palma SMK ???

    I keep reading more about shooters that have gone to the 150-155 SMK bullets over the 168 SMK. Looking for some input as to a legit reason. My Rem700 sps V shoots the 168 SMK at 0.5 in @ 100 yds using Win brass/primer & 42.7gr of Varget. Great for factory rifle. I don't chrono. Do the 155s...

    Glock Bulge...

    I am quite aware of the Glock bulge in .40 S&W. Is there much of an issue in reloading 9mm for Glocks????

    Great all around Runout Gauge/Correction

    Any other comments on the Hornady Concentricity Gauge. I know its NOT the elite tool that BR shooters desire. But for the shooter that wants a tool that serves them well and is simple, its serving me very well. Most of my dies are putting out .002-.005 (accordingly to this gauge)of runout. For...

    Thank Goodness for Tangent Ogive Bullets

    A friend of mine just informed me that he shot approx 350 rds with secant ogive bullets (and they were boat tail) before he found a winner. He was very happy and I didn't want to burst his bubble. It took me less than 100 rds and I was using traditional tangent ogive bullets that were flat base...

    105 A-Max out of a 1 in 9.125 (std Rem 700)

    Anyone using these with this rate of twist? I've been using the Sierra 100gr Pro Hunter for several years and very pleased. Anyone with legitimate info?

    Opinions on Rem 700 triggers.

    I may be replacing some factory triggers on my Rem 700(s). Anyone had much luck in working-over the original X-Mark Pro triggers? Most folks that I know has opted for aftermarket. I don't shoot competition, but I'd like a reliable, safe, reasonable trigger. ??????

    Boattail....not always the best!

    I recently had a discussion with a fellow shooter that argued about boattail bullets being superior. I asked him "superior, on what basis?" I lost him him from the getgo. I tried to get him to understand that many rifles, especially sub .30 cal, do NOT shoot BTs well at all and never will for...

    Varget vs IMR 4064.....H4350 vs IMR 4350

    Some buddies and I were talking about certain powder issues recently. We discussed overall accuracy in 223 Rem & 308 Win. We all agreed we leaned towards Varget for temp sensitivity issues, BUT most of us agreed our overall accuracy was best with the trusted old powder, IMR 4064. And many days...

    Boattail bullets vs Flat Base bullets

    Here we go.....this topic will benefit a lot of the people new to reloading. Definitely will save them some $$$$. Some rifles like BT bullets, some rifles hate BT bullets, most of the time rifles will perform well with FB bullets. For the newbies, DO NOT assume you factory rifle will shoot BT...

    Neck Sizing.....Bushing Dies vs Collet Dies

    So here we go. I'm seeing so many posts about folks using bushing dies. Are there many people that have experienced neck tension issues due to varying brass thickness??? I know a few people that claim they have experienced this and that's why they went to the Lee collet die to simplify &...

    IMR 4350 for 308 Win

    Saw a few questions on this site about accuracy only load for 308 Win. Just to let people know, for kicks & grins, I tried IMR 4350 for 308 Win, 168 SMK, 26 in, 1 in 12 twist, and got great accuracy even though a tech told me they DO NOT recommend it. I got it from an older Lyman manual.
