    375 H@H cases stretching

    Re: 375 H@H cases stretching I have a 375h&h that does the same thing. Careful resizing can eliminate a lot of the stretch. The chambers seem to be generous for reliable feeding with a big/dangerous game cartridge like this. How did you resize the brass for the reloads?

    anyone broken a trg bipod?

    Re: anyone broken a trg bipod? Thanks guys, got a support case started with Beretta, hopefully they do the same for me. I've got the old pin out, the catch piece and spring came out then the sections came out through the middle. If the support option doesn't work out, I'll punch one of the...

    neck down 308 brass to 260 ?

    Re: neck down 308 brass to 260 ? Everyone was using 7mm-08 or 243 brass to form before Lapua started making 260 brass. I think the problem was that you end up with too much material in the neck of the case with 308 brass.

    Starrett Dial Caliper or Mitutoyo Dial Caliper

    Re: Starrett Dial Caliper or Mitutoyo Dial Caliper Many Starrett products are made in China now. You can still get American made Starrett, but you have to pay a bit more.

    anyone broken a trg bipod?

    Not sure how I pulled this off, but I broke the pin that goes through the catch that hooks it into the rifle chassis. I got the right size pin, but it seems the original pin was peened into the hole, so I can't get the new pin in. Has anyone else had to deal with this, and what was your...

    Anyone try 175 SMK over 46gr Varget?

    Re: Anyone try 175 SMK over 46gr Varget? I've gone as high as 45.5 in lapua brass, no major drama on the brass. Primers were getting pretty flat though, although I've seen worse out of factory ammo. Groups were opening up so I stopped there.

    miss fires, 338 lapua, trg42

    Re: miss fires, 338 lapua, trg42 I've got 70 brass primed with those primers. I think I'll fire them off in the rifle and see how many don't pop. I got a new brick of the same primer, I'll test them the same way before I make another range trip. I've used that batch of primers before in...

    miss fires, 338 lapua, trg42

    First time I've reloaded for this rifle. I only loaded 30 to shoot a ladder, and had 7 fail to ignite. I'm loading new lapua brass, rl25(84.5-87.0), 300 smks, and cci 250s. The primers are below flush, although not any more than my other loads have been, from what I can tell at least. It...

    reloading savings ?

    Re: reloading savings ? ^^^^^ The cost of the equipment to get it done isn't much, the cost of the equipment to make it faster and easier is what kills. edit: looked at Midway just now, 100 hornady 165 gr interlocks-$24 100 primers $3-$5 assuming a 65 grain load, 7000(grains/pound)/65...

    reloading savings ?

    Re: reloading savings ? It depends on the cartridge, but what I load ranges from 30% savings to about 80%. I don't know about the 300WSM, but I'd definitely expect to save more that half. I'd really expect it to be more like 70% vs. good quality factory ammo.

    Sig Mosquito

    Re: Sig Mosquito I have a Mosquito. First trip I got 7 rounds through it then the action didn't even try to work. I put nothing but minimags through it for the first 1k. Constant feeding and extraction problems, very rare to make it through a mag without a jam. It got better over time, so...

    Suppressors Any known source for 1911 receivers in DFW?

    Re: Any known source for 1911 receivers in DFW? Thanks guys, didn't think I was going to get a response. I had thought of [censored]. I was just thinking they probably only order for their own builds. I'll give them a try Monday. SVI is a new one to me. Website says that receivers are...

    6.5 creedmoor?

    Re: 6.5 creedmoor? Off the top of my head, I don't think you'll get there with 6.5-284 either. That's more of a 264 win mag number. You could go there, just order a pile of spare barrels.

    Rifle Scopes Butler Creeks for New Nightforce Scope?

    Re: Butler Creeks for New Nightforce Scope? I use the butler creeks. The way I put the ocular cover on, it's in the way at lowest magnification, the bolt handle catches it. Doesn't really bother me much, I rarely turn it down that far.
