I imported a scope from the UK a couple of years ago. The exporter required an import permit or confirmation from customs that an import permit was not required. I believe that was a prerequisite to applying for a UK export permit. I managed to get an email from customs saying no import permit...

OK. An ID micrometer is a fairly specialized instrument. To trust it's measurements you would need to ensure that it is accurate and calibrated and that your measurement technique is producing repeatable results. I don't worry too much about the exact neck diameter of my sized brass. I use a...

How are you measuring the inside neck diameter? What sort of micrometer are we talking about?

This is the first time I've used the 144s. I'd heard the same thing but I didn't think they looked any different to other Bergers so I've decided to go ahead and tip them. Will try to post some pics to show the difference.

Yes, I do the minimum trim necessary to get a batch of bullets to the same length before tipping. I'm about to start on a batch of Berger 144 Hybrids. I'll try to post some before and after photos.

I have two tipping dies and two meplat trimmers from Bullet Tipping. Their stuff is super high quality and a pleasure to use. Very happy with it. I have not used the Whidden pointing die.

The ogive is almost certainly inside the case neck. The SAAMI spec was not written with 77gr projectiles in mind. A cartridge with maximum case length and maximum COAL as per the specification will have the bullet protruding from the case by 0.500". I don't know what bullet you're using but, as...

I would say the easiest and cheapest way to achieve this would be to buy the 1/2-28 adapter and have it re-threaded to 14x1LH.

Another way to add adjustable length of pull to the T1x Bravo is to swap the buttstock for the X-Ray buttstock with adjustable LOP kit. The X-Ray buttstock, grips and X-Ray tool-less LOP kit only cost $20 more than the Bravo tool-less LOP kit.

I shoot PRS type competitions. Whether or not you want a xmas tree is obviously one of the key aspects of reticle choice. I made the choice I did because I wanted the Stryker and I knew I would hate the other two reticles for the reasons discussed above. Holding over and holding wind is no...

It's difficult to understand how anyone designing a reticle could think that was a good idea. I also have the Stryker. Before I ordered mine, I looked closely at the reticle drawings. I knew those random hash mark increments would drive me nuts so I chose the DLR-1 reticle. It's a heavier...

Great review. Thanks. You mention that KRG has more grip sizes coming. Where did you hear this? Any idea what the new options will be?

Was curious what the 'mini WC' was so I googled it. Is this what you're using?

Another option is the ADM arca clamp. To put this on a Harris, you need an adapter like the ones from Area 419 or Henderson Precision.

Barrel will be shot out about 2,500 rounds from now. Shouldn't take long.

Use air blower and lens brush to remove particles. Then do this:

The case gauge combined with a depth gauge can measure shoulder length just as accurately as calipers and a bump gauge. Calipers are more commonly used because they are a more generalized tool and most reloaders have them. I bought a Wilson case gauge recently and I like it. I resize my 308...

Yes, my concern was about the increased susceptibility to galling. I am definitely no expert in this area but, as I understand it, the best way to reduce the likelihood of galling is to make the bolt lugs and receiver lugs of different hardness. Chromoly steel is easier to harden than stainless...

This is great news. What type of steel will you be using for the bolt bodies? As I understand it, all factory Tikka bolt bodies are stainless steel. I've tended to stay away from the stainless Tikka models out of concern about the stainless action and stainless bolt combination. An option of...

Thanks. I think you're getting me confused with the OP. I don't use mats, loops or any sort of artificial aids to stop my bipod feet from slipping. I find such solutions impractical and don't want to practice that way. I use the technique that Phil demonstrates in the video. I bring the rile to...
