    Hornady lock n load AP press owners

    To build off of what D-Huf has said, as I own a Dillon 550B and regularly use my Dad's XL650, you have to pay attention to the feel and results of all progressive presses.

    Hornady lock n load AP press owners

    I have been using my LnL AP with casefeeder for 9 months now and have had nearly zero issues with it. The only problem is 9mm like to bounce when dropped by the casefeeder and can come off the mechanism. However, I have 3d printed a part to stop that, and now have no complaints. I also use a...

    RCBS chargemaster 1500 vs lite model

    I do, and I've checked the charges with a Ohlin balance scale. Its accurate. I calibrate it every time I turn it on, and I leave it on for 15 minutes to "warm up". Just wait until after the beep, when it displays the charge weight again. Mine will go a 1/10th over from time to time. I just pay...

    Savage Stealth Evolution problems

    I'm not a big Savage fan, but I will state that I always check the torque on any new factory rifle I get. Savage (in my experience) is big on "good enough".

    Need a new .308

    As an update for those following this, I ordered a Howa Bravo today from Brownells. .308, with a 26" barrel. Thanks for all the help!

    Need a new .308

    Definitely not going with the SPR. Too much cash for my intended purpose. @coltm4 I do handload, and I fully intend to use the Lapua brass I have for this new rifle. I also have a bunch of FGMM once fired that I'd shot out of my Savage. It seems to be good brass, runout has been ~.002 for the...

    Need a new .308

    So, in absolute defiance of what I said earlier, I'm currently decided on the Howa Bravo with a 26" barrel. Any comments or things I should consider?

    Howa Bravo Experience

    First off great rig and I hope you heal up quickly! As to where to find them, seems that online, I've only found them at Brownells.

    Thanks coltm4. That's quantifiable, haha. I do appreciate the help from all.

    Need a new .308

    I feel you on that. The base remington stocks are garbage. I mean absolute crap. I cannot stress that enough. Haha, I really do hate to keep asking for quantifiable proof of something that's preference based. I love what I hear about Tikka, but the whole long action plus bizzare hollow stock...

    Need a new .308

    So, definitely still undecided. Everyone has great things to say about the Tikka, and the HMR, I have yet to hear of one that wont shoot well. The Remington is a known quantity to me. I have two and both are sub MOA, and the only thing I've done is put them both in Magpul Hunter stocks. That...

    Need a new .308

    I hadn't really looked at the SPR as an option, so I'll take a peek. @coltm4, I have heard nothing but good things about this particular Remington, and I have two that were produced in the last 5 years that are both phenomenal shooters. My biggest issue with Tikka is that its roughly the same...

    Need a new .308

    Thanks all. Yeah, I dig the 24" tube. I'm very much leaning towards the Remington 700. As to why I don't rebarrel the Savage, I have two answers: 1) I won't pay to send it back to Savage, and therefore their CS rep said I'm stuck with what I have (paraphrased), and 2) I will rebarrel it... in...

    Fully understood! Thanks for the info.

    Need a new .308

    Already spoke to the gentleman. He's a class act and as long as nobody buys it before I get my tax return, I'll be purchasing. Too many good things said about the HMR to ignore.

    Oh, that'll definitely happen! I'll even include pics

    Shrubjr, What didn't you like about the Tikka? Why the suggestion of the HMR?

    Need a new .308

    I have heard good things about Howa, however, I'd prefer to keep my money going to countries that we haven't tested experimental weapons on (kidding, mostly). No, I want to stick to a "known" brand. Savage broke me from trying to save a little. I know Bergara is a newcomer, but I've not heard a...
