    Biggest SHOT surprise so far.

    Watched a video on YouTube about this rifle. Apparently the forend is as soft a wet noodle and was demonstrated on the video as such. So much flex, literally almost unusable

    Surprising neck tension test ... (at least it surprised me)

    There are 4 main aspect to seating pressure (assuming undamaged neck smd straight bullet alignment). 1) neck thickness 2) neck length 3) amount undersize 4) how much spring tension or wotk hardening the brass has. Comparing different calibers one needs to also factor in change in surface...

    Surprising neck tension test ... (at least it surprised me)

    Interested to see if the groups still remain tighter once velocity is back up or if the group tighness is more from velocity change/harmonics than neck tension?

    SAC "The seating die" horrible runout

    I simpithize with the frustration of the OP being disappointed in the expensive equipment he has purchased but once again someone is flaming a reputable company without proper practices and without involving the company. Expensive equipment doesn’t negate due diligence. Very pleased to hear...

    Do they PUSH feed fine or are they actually fully controlled while fed? The TL3 push feeds very reliably too.

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I did say it wouldn’t be reliable, I am glad you are happy with your set as am I. Most people aren’t aware they aren’t ACTUALLY controlling the round when feeding and many say to run the bolt fast to get it to crf but this is an attempt to overcome poor timing of the magazine. Would be...

    Mind showing a picture of the cartridge seated in the magazine?

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Yes, no. The brand of magazine doesn’t matter here, the ARC mag JUST comes standard with shorter feed lios than factory AICS magazines. ALL feed lips need to pair with cartridge length for CRFing. Shorter feed lips will CRF more (longer) cartridges than longer lips but too short of feeding lips...

    Factory AICS magazine in foreground (note the lower case is pushing up with the neck. ARC magazine in the background (pushing up/forward) with the shoulder. Cartridge is 6.5Creedmoor

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    You can see how the timing on the magazine is crucial to match the cartridge length for CRF. This magazine has had the feed lip shortened so that the lower cartridge presents a bit of the body instead of the neck to push up on the upper cartridge as it clears the feed lip. If the lower neck is...

    Looking for Hunting tripod recommendations

    I have a Feisol 3342 I got from Bison Tactical. I use a RRS universal leveling base. I have an arca rail on my rifle, arca plates on my spotting scope and bino adapter. This was the best option I found at the time with a good compromise for a light weight tripod that was sturdy enough to shoot...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Will Not Keep Zero, Help!

    It is not the scope, that is clear. 1/2 a dozen different scopes on different rifles all with the sane problem? Not the scope. The OP does not know how to use an optic, has not read any direction on doing sk and has relied on some gunshop to magically mount his scope to perfect eye relief with...
