    Group Buys Prime Ammo Group Buy *Closed* see new one

    Got my shipping notification today as well. Jim is a good guy and a man of his word. The fact he was able to keep his time line promise with all of the unforeseen circumstances is pretty awesome.

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    Ask 10 different people how they reload and you are going to get 10 different answers. Here is how I do it. This is intended for a new reloader to be able to produce ammo with fired brass that has been resized to their chamber dimensions. It is not...

    WTS: Seekins SP10 6.5 Creedmoor Brand New

    I won the second ever national level PRS Gas Gun match with this exact model. I told Glen at the NRA show in Dallas that I'm not sure if they all shoot that good or if I just got a "good one" but it was great accuracy for a gas gun. I was shooting factory PRIME 130gr Berger bullets. If you have...

    Sold

    These binos are incredible. Think of them really as a spotting scope. I sold all my spotting scopes and use this mounted on a tripod. The FOV, clarity and lack of eye fatigue beat a spotter for shooting and general glassing.

    Winchester Model 70. Good place to start?

    S&B is a great choice if you have the opportunity to get one and the MSR is my preferred reticle. A S&B PMII 5x25-56 is what is on most of my rifles. Rifles and calibers come and go but good glass sticks around. Buy one used and even if you decide to go a different route you won't lose much...

    .338 Lapua Action question

    You will never have to replace a Surgeon XL. EXTREMELY beefy and with a barrel vise and a proper action wrench you can swap barrels in minutes.

    300 Norma Mag question

    Totally depends on the freebore of the reamer they use. I'm not sure as to what the ideal FB length would be. I shoot the 215's and they are very consistent for me.

    7 SAUM reloading dies

    I have a set of Redding Type S Match dies and they serve me well. With Nosler brass I use a .311 bushing. I also use the same set for 6.5SAUM and just change out the bushing. I have a VLD seating stem in the micrometer seater die.

    what are you most excited to see at SHOT?

    Some upgraded thermal better than the MkIII Hunter 60mm so that the price of those come down so I can afford one.

    Bored and curious; whats your hit rate on this scenario

    3 things. Like previously stated if the wind is variable 5-10 that's much more difficult than something steady. 18 inch what? Assuming a square but a 18 inch circle is approximately %78 smaller and still 18 inches. Last target position and backdrop / backstop play into this as well. On a...

    7 SAUM in Rem 700 LA free bore help

    Knowing what I know now....... The 7 SAUM is a FANTASTIC caliber. However, if you want to run heavier than a 168 class bullet I would not go short action. You already stated going long so that's good. Well if you are going to go long then why not put more powder in the chamber and get the...

    7 SAUM in Rem 700 LA free bore help

    I literally did exactly what you want to do for the exact bullet. A 0.180" freebore will put the base of the bearing surface at the neck shoulder junction, exactly where you want it. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/7saum-build-ritten-precision-updated.125705/ Let me save you some...
