After reading so many positive reviews of the magneto speed I decided to purchase one awhile back and got the V2 version, which was the latest at the time of purchase, and it worked flawlessly until I took it to the desert and broke the switch on the display unit. I thought I was SOL, but I...

What twist do you recommend for 250 grn and 300 grn bullets for a 338LM. I would think a 1:10 twist would work for both weights, but thought I would see what your thoughts were? Thank you DS

I am going to pick up another barrel for my AIAW in 338LM and was wandering if a 9.35 twist barrel would be to fast for 250 gr scenars. I have 1000 bullets and don't want to get a barrel that will not stabilize them. I know the faster twist is good for 300 grn bullets but will it be ok for...

I saw a thread on the Duplin bipod and it was attached to the rifle using a rail. Does anyone know if it can be attached to a rifle that only has a stud and not a rail? I like the design and was interested in it, but have not found any info with it attached to a stud on a rifle. Any input is...

Anyone use the HSM T50 long range solid bullets in their 375 cheytac. They post a bc of .851 for the 333 grain solid on their site and the cost is pretty reasonable. Just wandering if anyone has had any personal experience with this brand of bullets and if so what twist was your barrel. Thank...

I am thinking of putting together a 284 shehane build and am wandering where to get dies from. Is it easier to order them from Bill shehane, or send fired cases to a custum die maker like Harrels brothers? I have never had custom dies made before, but have read that they would match the chamber...

I am doing some research for what type of stock to get for a new build and I was wandering if anyone has had any personal experience with the Manners f class competition stock or Ray Bowmens f class stock from precision rifle and tool.

I have some 750 ,650 and 450 degree paint that I have to anneal my cases with, but in testing the tempilaq I have noticed that the paint turns to a dark orange color and then black instead of turning clear when the proper temp is reached. I even put the paint down low on a case for a test to...

I have been using the search engine and could not find the thread about the AIAW and TRG platforms being made into switch barrel rigs. I know I can get an action wrench for the TRG from KRG industries, but what I was wandering is if you can switch barrels on the TRG without go and no go gauges...

I know the 6 dasher is a good long range cartrige and has held the 1000 yard NBRSA record at one time, but has anyone used the 6 dasher for 1000 yard open f-class? Thanks in advance for any input.

I have used the search engine but have not had much luck. I want to make a switch barrel out of my TRG22 , but I do not know what contour barrel will fit the action. I have measured my barrel and it is smaller in diameter than any of the ones listed on the Kreiger contour web page. If anyone...

I have and use nightforce scopes for 1000 yard competition and was wandering how many of US Optics owners use their scopes for this discipline? Since they are first focal plane, does the cross hairs obscure the target at 1000 yrd.? I would like to try a US Optics scope. Any input would be...

I am thinking of getting a Giruad trimmer and I was wandering how difficult it is to adjust the cutter head when you change calibers, or is it easier to just order additional cutter heads with blades for each caliber I am going to trim? Thanks for any input. I have read nothing but great reviews...

I uniform my primer pockets after each firing with a sinclair primer pocket uniformer and was wandering if anyone else does the same thing. I figure that since I need to clean the primer pockets, why not uniform them? I have not had any adverse effect from doing this, just wandering if anyone...
