    RPR jump to rifling is considerably longer than my Steyer SSG PII.

    I have a excell spreadsheet showing all my different bullets and various jump to the land spec.s auto-calculated on the sheet. If I use a Horbady OAL gauge with a modified case. When I measure my RPR the OAL based on contact with the rifling is around .090 further into the barrel than the Steyer...

    Measuring CBTO to calculate jump onto lands leaves rounds too long for magazines

    I have used a Hornady comparator to measure the contact with lands on several different bullets. Noslers and Hornady bullets can be loaded to fit in my magazines when set for a .015 jump but Sierras are different. The Sierra match kings when set .015 from the lands are much too long to fit in a...

    .308 Winchester

    I'm confused why the Amax bullets are set specifically to a predetermined distance from the lands but the two different weight SMK's are simply set to the mag. length ( I assume is 2.80 )? I used a Hornady comparator to set my 168 SMK's to a distance from the lands but they certainly are too big...

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    I unpacked my Rebel 17 and it looks about as quality made as all the rest of the Chinese made crap we have all become accustomed to. Ran a batch of .308 through it and in 2 hours they were like new inside and out. I am happy with it but would prefer something made in USA but if it were it would...

    Prime vs Hornady 6.5 creedmoor brass

    Good stuff here. I've accumulated a lot of Hornady brass over the last couple years and have thought its ok. Maybe it's time I get more serious about the brass. There is a club about an hour from where I live up in Granby MA. where I had explore out to 1000 yds. but need to make sure everything...

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    Thanks for all the input so far it's sending me down the right road. The Rebel 17 sounds like a plan but I'll need to look into this customer service issue.

    What products can I add to Devcon in order to make it black?

    Go to an art store and buy a tub of acrylic paint such as the kind artists use in oil painting. Mix a small amount into the epoxy. I have colored epoxy many different colors in my saltwater fly fishing patterns. It works perfectly.

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    I have been tumbling my pistol brass for years using a Dillon vibratory tumbler. Results are good but now that I'm getting into .308 reloading I'm thinking about a wet tumbler to use with stainless media. I noticed when making .300 AAC brass the vibratory tumbler media just doesn't get inside...
