My new Boyds Atone Thumbhole stock in Shady Camo on my Thompson Center Compass in 300 Win Mag, scope is a SWFA sniper fixed 12 X . I put on the 1" Kick EEZ butt pad in place of the stock 1/2" pad. I have a few othet Boyds stocks, and figured an upgeade from the factory composit stock was needed.

Purchased a new bolt handle from Glades Armory for my 300 WM, TC Compass. I wanted a larger bolt knob, as the stock knob was to small. I decided to insert a shell in the open end, the 300 WM case was to small so I plugged it with a 45-70, fit perfectly. What do you think?

. It seems that the cases are spliting due to the force being put on them when inserting and pulling them out of the die. Most of the pressure seems to be when the neck is coming out of the die. There is a decent amount of pressure needed to insert the neck into the die as well. The resistance...

Yes, the dies were cleaned when I first opened and used them to load my first batch of rounds (50). I also took them apart and cleaned them again. thinking there was excessive lube or something inside causing the current issue. Yes they are 300 Win Mag dies. I believe the brass is splitting...

Hi all, I am a new member here, and have a reloading issue. I recently bought a T.C Compas in 300 Win Mag. Loaded up 50 rounds of Hornady brass w/ 168 GR Hornady A-Max bullets over IMR 7977 ranging from 75.5 - 80 GR to try to find a decent load for my new rifle. Range session was great...
