    OAL measure Question

    I have a question on finding the lands to seat the bullet according to ogive to land spacing instead of the actual OAL out of the manual. I fully understand why we want to do this, but am less clear on the how. Or rather how to get an accurate measurement. One method I read would have me...

    Bullet Stabilization

    On a few threads I have seen references to bullets that are not accurate until they get downrange and “stabilize”. It seems that; if a bullet is off target at 100 yards, it just gets further off the farther it goes. I am sure we have all seen slow motion video of arrows launching from bows...

    Restock

    I just bought a 700 SPS-V and of course it needs a stock. I am leaning towards B&C or HS but haven't felt enough to know what I want. I may want to change bottom metal down the road for a detachable magazine. Perhaps a whack or two with a die grinder may be needed, but I assume any BDL stock...

The width and height have about a 1:1.5 ratio or 1.5:1 depending on whether on the horizontal or vertical axis. Can anyone tell me for sure what angle is subtended by each axis of these diamonds? Apart...

    Die Question

    Is there a functional difference between sizing with a body die or a full length bushing die with the bushing removed? Of the competetion type seating dies that feature a micrometer like adjustment and stem that contacts near the ogive, which is the best in quality and why? Is there another...

    Load Development vs Stock Replacement

    I'm new to precision shooting. For decades, if it would whack a deer within 200 yards it was good enough. Just bought a new 700 SPS and SWFA optics. I understand that SPS is short for Shitty Plastic Stock, and better accuracy will come with a more substantial frame. I need to hang around...
