It seems in keeping with the PT belt philosophy - agreed! Army Expands PT Belt Regulations to Cover Spouses, Wildlife

Personally I start at the longest depth (jammed or mag length, whichever is longer) and establish charge weight before playing with depth. I suppose it might be worth confirming you're still sitting on the node by testing charge on either side once you adjust depth, but I haven't made that a...

I know you say you can't justify the Cryes, but honestly you get what you pay for with those, and they are worth it. If you are a big guy, then you may be familiar with the problem of pants staying up and not creeping/falling down when you run, and there is a night and day difference between...

I second the Nathan recommendation. For substantially shorter runs I use Nathan Speed 2 and Speed 4R. The speed 2 has 2 10 oz. bottles and the 4R has 4 8oz. bottles - not a huge difference, but you can also load them up differently (one with some more intense energy goo or what have you) and...

I will break with the pack and declare preference for Merrells; I did not like how Keens I've ordered fit me. One note on Merrells is they seemed to run one half to one full size small. Be prepared to order up one size.

TAB gear. Nice little holder for your Kestrel inside.

You'll need to measure your brass after bumping to really know for sure. As a rule I have not seen large amounts of growth from either bumping or resizing 308 cases so the case for trimming depends on the approach you are using for trimming overall to begin with: 1) trim only when absolutely...

I don't believe the question was, "should you trim each time you size;" it was more like, "when you do trim, is that before or after sizing." So, I don't disagree that you needn't trim each time to stay within cartridge specs or the (more generous) dimensions of your rifle's chamber, but that...

Exactly right. Get your sizing/bumping over with and then trim.

Interesting! Hopefully they make it a permanent option - I was under the impression that the .260s were a limited run, not to be repeated.

Not anymore - unless there is a new run of them. I saw serial #1 up for sale on here yesterday, though. I guess it's somewhat of a non issue in that you can't get a factory rebarrel anyway so if one likes everything else about the TRG, might as well get a known quantity used TRG and have it...

I should also add that shooting on the long ranges unless at an event requires membership; the good thing is that once you take the orientation, you can allegedly go open the middle ranges yourself if there isn't an event going. Call ahead for all details of when the orientations are - they're...

You are in luck (assuming you don't mind a drive) - Folsom Shooting Center near Rancho Murietta has a 500 yd steel range and a 1,000 yard range (with intermediate distances available). To shoot at a grand, hook up with a shooting club - they're listed on the center's website. Closer to home may...

Two notes on TRG - great trigger, really nice; fussy ejection, at least on the TRG-22. You have to pull that bolt back with a degree of authority and speed, or your case will stay in the receiver and jam everything up when you push the bolt forward to chamber your next round. You'd get used to...

Like I said, every scope has had failures to report about. Not every scope model or make is a lemon, though.

For developing loads, loading where you shoot is the only way to fly. No matter what approach you use to finding nodes, you then have to go back and search around your node for optimum charge - and you don't know where that will be until you find the spots you want to hunt around in. This means...

Posturing. If you were to take the opinion on this board (and others) about how unreliable scopes of all major manufacturers have been at one time or another, you'd end up with a very short list left to choose from, and all of those at a low, low price point at which you don't expect...

Actually, for precision rifle - especially if you are keen on seeing how much performance you can get out of the gun - your objective for reloading is just that, not cost reduction. You are not going to get factory ammo with the range of projectiles you'll want to use, the speeds that best suit...

You remove the primers before swaging. The primers can be tougher to push out with the crimp, but that's what a Lee decapping die is for. Cheap and easy.

I wouldn't say it's any extra trouble - the once-fired need to be swaged and trimmed (in any order if it makes no difference).
