    Reloading 12.7x108mm

    Total newbie re-loader. RCC has brass but it is real expensive. Domestically it is very difficult to find any ammo. The two domestic suppliers are in no rush to sell any. I have not yet purchased any dies for this. The dies are expensive and it may not even be worth it to buy the dies...

    I am attempting to remove the barrel assembly with receiver from the stock. With the bayonet folded to the stock I took a nail and pushed in the hole. At the same time I pushed the sleeve (over the barrel) forward and it moved about a 1/4 of an inch forward towards the muzzle. It is...

    A NOOB re-loader wants to avoid damaging a bolt action rifle

    I have started buying quality reloading components a little bit at a time. Rock chucker, case cleaner, and the .338 LM Lapua brass closeout from Midway. I probably will need another year or two before I begin reloading. A gunsmith posted in some thread (can't find it) where he...

    Rifle Scopes K318i and Hensoldt 3-12x56 FF

    The Hensoldt 3-12x56 FF has excellent glass and I understand it is easy to get behind - has a forgiving eyebox. This has a clean basic Mil-dot reticle. What about the much more modern Kahles K318i with a MSR or SKMR3 reticle. I have not looked at either scopes. I have owned...

    barrel life - 6.5 Creedmoor vs 300 Norma Mag

    All things being about equal - which setup will have the longer barrel life ? 300 Norma Mag 1/8 26" 6.5 Creedmoor 1/8 26" No HOT ammo. Probably just factory loads. Which spare barrel should be chosen ? No need for a new bolt with either choice.

    Simple Q - .300 Norma Mag with .338 LM action

    I 'assume' you can use a .300 Norma Mag with a .338 LM action where a quick change barrel, is an option. Same bolt face, as the .338 LM ? Just like a 6.5 Creedmoor and a .308 WIN.

    How much torque to apply to the scope mount nut

    ERA-TAC does not recommend an amount of torque to apply to the nuts. The scope I have, is a 5-25x56 Schmidt and Bender illuminated PM II. How much torque do you apply to the side nut when mounting the 34mm ERA-TAC mount, to the rifle ? What about applying torque to the screws when...
