So I just got back from a class where I was having some issues with ejection. Its not a HUGE issue yet but it cost me quite a few seconds on some of the little competitions. What happens is sometimes when I go to eject a round from the rifle the casing ends up in the action backward...

I'm well premature on this as i've still got a couple thousand rounds to go before my barrel will give up but I'd like to get my ducks in a row. What I have now is a Remington 700 LTR (20" barrel Remington Varmint Contour I believe) in 308. It has been recrowned and threaded 5/8x24 for my...

Ok went out to the range to test seating depth. I've never ever mucked with it before. I've always just used the SAAMI OAL and did OCW then stuck with that load. I'm about to load up 1K rounds and thought before doing that I'd spend a little time and do a length study. So the load I'm...

Interested to see what opinions rise from this... I've been shooting the following load for almost 1K rounds: 308 Win 175 SMK Lapua Brass Varget Powder Federal 210 primer 44.5 grain charge 2.800 OAL 2580 FPS Because of recent times I've been forced to switch primers. I now have 5000 Remington...

So I'm contemplating a MagnetoSpeed. Anyone have any strong reasons why I shouldn't go that route and know a good vendor who'll give me a good deal? Is there any advantage of V2 over V1 other than working on suppressed rifles and the case? Not sure if thats worth an extra 100 bucks or not...

Ok so I've always used Butler Creek scope caps and I've never had an issue with them. Honestly the issue I'm having now isn't a big one just something I'd rather not have.... On my 56mm obj scope the BC Obj cap is a bit tough to open and close. Mainly because the plastic tweaks a bit on...

Just a tip. Using an RCBS hand priming tool to prime brass on the night of the 5th of July is not good for the blood pressure. ;) ~Brett

Interested to hear thoughts on this one.. Shot from a Remington 700 LTR 20" barrel. 175SMK 2.800 COAL Lapua Brass Varget Powder I chose 44.5g as my load but would like to know what others think. I believe that perhaps 44.3 would be a better choice. The 7's were chosen for aim points...

Ok so I think I'm seeing enough sign of pressure that it has me wanting to go and rework my load. But I honestly don't want to give up any more velocity being that I'm shooting a 20" 308 as it is already. I'm also very happy with the performance of the load in my rifle. I've seen many people...

I'd like to get into shooting a match or two per year in the area. Unfortunately I don't really have a place to practice or a teammate to spot and practice with. I've gone to a couple long range shooting classes and have another one planned later in the year. If someone has a location where...

Any one know of a place near Portland where I might be able to look through a Leupy Mark 4 Spotter on my way through town? I should be heading through Sunday on my way from Seaside to Eugene and would love a chance to get to look through one. Thanks ~Brett

Anyone know where such a unicorn can be found? Thankfully I should have two 5 round magazines but having one 10 round one would be nice. ~Brett

Ok lemme preface this by simply stipulating that I'm a moron and I shouldn't do this. ;) I don't care. Ok now onto the fun part. I've got a class that I'm going to be going to the weekend of the 15th. Just to be spontaneous and fun I've decided to change my rifle drastically right before...

In the for what its worth category I just took my rifle to the range after receiving my suppressor to obtain some initial zero information and I thought I'd share. Rifle: Remington 700P LTR .308 Caliber 19.75" Fluted Barrel Threaded 5/8x24 Ammo: New (never fired) Lapua Brass 175 grain...

Is there really any real benefit to the 4/6 over the 4/4? Specifically looking at Seekins Precision rings.

So back when Bushnell came out with the tactical version of their Excursion scope I felt it was a no brainer. Ended up with a nice compact spotter that had a reticle for a great price. I could go for a bit clearer glass and also feel like I need to be careful with it cause I've heard that...

So I'm going to be buying a weather meter with bluetooth for use with my Applied Ballistics Android app. What I'm wondering is if the additional cost for the compass in the 4500 is worth the additional cost. I'd assume that all that is really needed is to set the meter up with the impeller...

Where would one find gloves like these? Also if anyone has any gloves that they really like I'd be interested to take a look. Not a fan of what I've got now.

So I'm about to replenish the stock of bullets... My local store doesn't carry Rainier Ballistics bullets any more and the last time I bought 175 grain SMKs I got them on a Hide group buy... I've been considering placing an order for 2K 200gr RN 45ACP bullets (I usually use 230gr RN but 200...

I've been considering having one of these installed on my LTR. Anyone not familiar with them can see the information on them here: http://www.kmwlrs.com/TacticalBoltHandle.htm My question is... Is there anything else I should do before having this installed? Is there anything that I...
