I have a CZ 457 Varmint MTR on order and it should arrive in a couple of weeks. Because I don’t have the rifle in hand - I am unable to use Bore Tech’s website to determine the length of cleaning rod needed. Is anyone running a 457 Varmint MTR with a Bore tech Bore guide and Bore Tech cleaning...

I am getting ready to setup a Redding Type S full length sizing die for a 300PRC. I do have (and will be using if necessary) the competition shell holders for the 300 PRC. My question is… is it ideal to setup the die so that it free floats a bit?... or is best to setup the die so that there is...

I am looking to swap out the radial Vais muzzle brake that came with my GAP 6.5 Saums Xtreme Hunter to a directional muzzle brake. I lack the tools to measure thread counts. Can anyone tell me the size of muzzle brake I need to replace it?

I am trying to verify that I am ordering the correct Sinclair bump gauge for both a 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC. Unfortunately Sinclair’s website does not specifically list the PRC cartridges. 749-011-481WS #30A 30° Shoulder (25 to 338 Caliber) Bump Gage Insert Mfr Part: 0910301...

I have a 6.5 SAUM's that I am reloading for. I am shooting a 140 gr Berger bullet with 61 grains of H1000. I noticed that on half of my loaded brass I accidently bumped the shoulder back .007 too much. Should I expect to see any real differences in velocities? Does this have the real...

A fellow Hider & I went out this weekend to shoot the world’s finest pop-up targets. For shooting on public land the shooting was pretty good.. and those 60 grain V-max’s man do they send parts flying. About half way through the day I look over & my buddy was on the phone, I am still trying...

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a new JP rifle several weeks ago and I just recently took delivery. I have to say that it was a pleasure dealing with JP. The staff was knowledgeable, courteous and sure enough delivered the firearm in the time quoted (that’s a first for me). Last weekend...

I have a S&B 5-25 X 56 PMII where the heads of the set screws are slowly starting to become stripped. Does any one know the size and pitch of those set screws so I could order a couple of replacements?

I’d like to know what an acceptable concentricity reading would be for a hunting application. I recently bought a new .300 Win Mag & when doing so I purchase some Federal Premium w/ 180 grain Accubonds. I ran them through my concentricity gauge & I cannot say that I was overly impressed with...

I am not sure how long this has been available; however, on Accuracy International's website there is now information on the new AX series and a downloadable brochure Accuracy International's AX

My reloading bench consists of a metal cabinet with a thick maple top work surface. Frequently the drawers get cluttered with allen wrenches and the like and I am contemplating slapping a tool bar magnet on the side of the bench to store my frequently used tools. I know that a magnet would...

I have both a .260 caliber bolt gun (an AIAW rechambered in .260) and a brand new unfired.308 caliber bolt gun (Sako TRG). Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if a 260 round were accidently chambered in the .308 and then fired? Would there be disastrous and dangerous results...

So I picked up the latest edition of Tactical Weapons magazine and I flipped to page 56 for the article labeled “Best of the Bolts”. As I started to go through the specs I noticed that the Effective Range on several of the weapons were different even though most of the specs were pretty close...

It’s time to start replacing some of .260 brass. I have noticed that a lot of Hide members are willing to go the extra effort to neck-up Lapua .243 brass. I would like to know if there is a benefit of necking up the Lapua brass vs. going with Norma’s .260 brass.

I would like to know if anyone has any direct experience with either of the following Newcon products: LRB 3000 PRO or the LRB 4000 CI. I currently have a Leica 1200 rangefinder & it simply does not range as far as I need it to in the conditions I most frequently shoot. I have contemplated...

Looking for some advice… I went out early this morning to zero my rifle w/ some new handloads. * Conditions first thing this AM were: 81F, 47% humidity, Density alt 7255, barometer 25.33. * My first string of velocities were: 2961, 2972, 2964, 2966, 2969 (with avg velocity of 2966 & std of...

Due to the primer shortage, I took advantage of buying the first larger rifle primer that I could get my hands on which was 5000 Wolf Primers. Previously I was shooting the Federal match primers in my 260Rem shooting 43 grains of IMR 4350… at a velocity close to 2800 fps at my elevation...

This dot drill is a very humbling experience. I actually shot the target at it appears (I shot it sideways, instead if placing the target up & down). I did not take any zeroing shots, as I had shot the day before & the conditions were almost identical. After every shot I stood up and got back...

I am currently shooting some factory loads from Blackhills ammo stuffed w/ 139 grain Lapua Scenars & it groups like a champ. I am now getting ready to start reloading all of the brass & I am perplexed on which powder I should use. Most of my reloading manuals give data for the IMR4350...

Relatively recently I purchased a new titanium suppressor for a bolt gun… and I have to say that I love it. But my question is, due to the incredible amount of heat that builds up in them, do they ever go bad & need to be replaced… and if so how do you know when to replace it?
