Hey all, Im sure pressure signs are asked about ad nauseam. But I am stuck wracking my brain on why I am seeing what Im seeing. Im loading for a 6 creed, 115dtacs, Alpha (non-OCD) SRP brass, CCI 450’s and H4350. These are being shot through a Zeus Action and 26” 1:7.5 twist barrel. Approx...

So I bought a Giraud Trimmer a year or so ago, and when it arrived it didnt include the two small spanners. Ive made due with using a nail and a wrench, but would like to get some of the propper tools for the job. I have contacted Giraud, and they’re $7 each….however, since covid, he has been...

Looking for some help to come up with a potential fix for an issue I'm having. I had ordered on of the Terminus Zeus actions earlier in their production, and had a barrel spun up for it by my gunsmith. He torqued it on, and I used it for a couple rounds no problem. Then I had to send my Zeus...

I feel dumb asking this, but how does everyone find their bullet seating depth with these 3 lug actions? Will the Wheeler method work? I'm about to toss my sh!tty Sinclair tool in the trash, and cannot seem to feel any click using the Wheeler method, on the upstroke like on my 2 lug actions...

Just stumbled across this new die coming from Short Action Customs. Just wondering if anyone has had hands on with them. They look super well machined, and the single seater die for multiple cals would be awesome...

So I have a Ruckus action on order. They guarantee tolerances, but for some reason they dont provide the information needed to get a prefit ordered from a local smith. Im wondering what information is needed to get a prefit made? Thanks

Looking to buy a Giraud Trimmer. Calibers Im interested in are 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308. Let me know what you’ve got Thanks

So Im currently building a lightweight hunting rifle off of a Tikka Lite in 6.5CM. For glass Im still open to options but one thing Im finding is that its very difficult to find a mil based scope in a lightweight package, and also that majority of hunters are using a duplex style reticle. This...

Hey all, looking for some insite into a problem Im having with my Dillon 550C. Im depriming and priming as a single step on my press, but find it primes too shallow. Im only .001 below flush on average, and would like it to be .003-.004 Im using once fired Lapua brass and used a primer pocket...

While doing load development, I noticed my loads began to show signs of primer cratering and ejector sweep after 15+ rounds. These were done 5 at a time then the bbl allowed to cool. I had no issue with my previous development, and similar velocity so it surprises me to see these. Im...

Looking into whether or not I should move from priming on my 550C to either a handheld unit or a bench top unit. If my lotto numbers came up Id go for the CPS, but unfortunately I have yet to do so. Ive been fairly happy with my dillon, but sometimes wonder if having better feel would help...

Hello, Im curious is there is a way to reduce the amount of force a bolt ejects cartridges at. I have a Surgeon 591 chambered in 6.5x47 and find its ejecting rounds with such force, that its denting my case mouths and actually wearing away the cerakote on my action in less than 300rnds. With...

Hello all, First off, if I missed a thread discussing this already please let me know and I’ll delete. Im looking for a lightweight hunting optic to go on a Sako A7 in 6.5 CM. I wont be doing any 1000yard shots with this thing, so optical clarity doesnt need to be S&B worthy. The problem Im...

Monarch 3000 looks like a great offering for most of what we do, and the stabilizer is a nice feature. Looking forward to how these will perform out in the wild. Im looking to make my first rangefinder purchase so if this turns out to be a good offering it will make my short list. What are...

Hello all, looking for some feedback as to which optic you feel is better suited to my needs. I have spent the last 3 months narrowing down my choices from the usual suspects, and have come to the decision of either going with the S&B PMII LT/MTC/LT 5-25x56, or the Minox ZP5 5-25x56. This will...

Looking to upgrade my Frankford Arsenal vibratory tumbler this winter, and wanted to get your guys opinions on what one to go with. The two that have caught my attention are the Dillon CV-750/2001 and the Thumblers Ultra Vibe 18, but Im open to suggestions. I understand the Ultra vibe is smaller...

Hey, I had a question regarding lock rings for the Dillon 550. I am wondering if the shellplate would allow for 4 rings to be used at the same time or if there was not enough clearance for them to all be used. I also use the inline fabrications skylight and would like to keep using it...

Hey all, probably a simple answer here but I am unsure of what may be causing it/really not sure if I should worry about it. After picking up all my brass after a day of shooting, I noticed that the fired cases all seem to have a deformation in the exact same place. This is on a bolt action...

Hey, so I have an old Rockchucker that I got in a trade that has got me started with my reloading. Now Im looking to upgrade to a new press as this one is getting a bit worn and Im unsure of its accuracy. My question to you is what are all you using to reload precision ammo? I have toyed with...

First off, if this in in the wrong area, please feel free to let me know or move it. Now, I took information from a few different sources and came up with the OCW test being the best. So off to the range I went. My rifle is a 6.5x47L with 24" barrel 1/8 twist. I am using 140gr Barnes Match...
