    Range Report Entering below sea level DA into Shooter.

    This may sound like a stupid question but does Shooter recognize below sea level density altitude. The reason for asking is I was out shooting yesterday and my Kestrel showed a DA of in excess of -500 feet. I entered -500 into the DA box but the results were quite a bit off from I Snipe which I...

    FGM Brass, worth using?

    Just starting to reload and I know everyone has their preference of brass with Lapua seeming to be the frontrunner. I have been shooting a long time and only used work ammo but now after doing some F Class shoots in the F/TR class I am getting a dedicated rifle and took the plunge to reload. The...

    Full length resizing vs neck sizing.

    I am just starting to get into reloading, hopefully for competition shooting (F/TR) down the road.It seems like you ask 5 guys and get 8 opinions. Is there an advantage to just neck sizing with respect to accuracy or does it matter if you just full resize.I know that consistency , bullet seating...

    Rifle Scopes Torque Value for TPS 30mm Aluminum Ring Cap Screws

    The instructions provide the indicated inch pound torque for the 7/16" hex nuts but for the cap screws they just go into tightening the screws with the provided torx wrench. I like to be a bit more precise and consistent than just doing it by hand. Thx for your help.

    This may sound like a stupid question.I have a Rem 700 SA with an A5 stock with bottom metal that uses AICS magazines. A friend asked if the magazine would accept 6.5 x 284 rounds and I didn't have an answer for him. Maybe someone can help me out.Thanks.

    Just wondering what the general consensus in torque (inch lbs) is for tightening scope ring screws. Rings are TPS and scope is NXS 3.5 - 15. I know some don't even bother but I like for them to be as consistent as possible.

    Muzzle Brakes, clean or not.

    Hope this is not a stupid question but who out there cleans their muzzle brake on a 308.Is it necessary? The reason I ask is that some guys never clean their rifles either or only after hundreds of rounds when they say accuracy declines. Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Coating a crown to prevent rust.

    I just had a barrel cut from 26 to 20". It is a chrome moly barrel and just want to finish the crown as it is now bare metal. Any suggestions as it is such a small area. I have used duracoat before but for such a small area there has got to be something simpler.Hope this makes sense.
