    New reloading press, single or progressive

    I have reloaded for 10 years on a Lyman Crusher II using a Lyman Gen 5 powder dispenser. I reload for about 10 different calibers, but most of my shooting is done with 6,5x55 being in europe. I reload about 5.000 6,5x55 a year, and i'm getting pretty tired of reloading and buying factory...

    Spare Rifle

    How many of you guys have a spare rifle in case your primary breaks down or is being rebarreled. It would be great if you could tell me how much you shoot. Competitions, professionally, or just once every month.

    So I'm planning to build myself a match rifle. Living in Norway, I cant really just order a rifle from GAP, so I'm pretty set on building it myself. I am planning on using a remington 700 short action and a factory barrel in the beginning. I reload myself, but I would like to be able to...

    HI Came across a brand new .338 remington that I thought about dropping into a AX or AICS chassis. It has the 40-x action. Whats the difference between this and a normal 700 action? Will this one fit in a AI chassis? I was planning on shooting this one for a while and see if I want to...

    Socom PSR

    Since they have chosen the Remington MSR for SOCOM, will this do anything to the other rifles? Will prices go down on the other ones? Did anyone do it particulary good/bad in the test? Will the SAKO M10 be available to the public?

    suppressor for competition

    I have been looking at all the video and pictures that i could find from TPRC, PRS, and so on. I cant find any pictures of anyone running a suppressor. Why is this? Rifle gets too long? To much mirage? Illegal for these competitions? I run a can on all my long range rifles, and i love the...

    Steyr SSG 08

    Does anyone have any experience with the Steyr SSG 08 in .338LM? It seem that its one of the cheapest .338 rifles you can buy here in norway. As far as I can read online, it has a 1:9 twist and comes as a complete package here. How is it compared to a TRG or SRS? A local guy shot a 5 shot group...

    6,5mm A-Max is it the best?

    After looking which 140gr bullet had the highest BC i found the 140gr A-max, which had a BC of .585, which is higher than any other I could find. Shooting 6,5x55, allmost nobody uses them in norway. They are by far the cheapest ones I can buy here, so its a win win for me. I have 2000 in stock...

    I owe you all a big thanks.

    I was trying to reload for my build based upon a SPS tactical a while ago with no luck. Thanks to some helpful members on this board i now have a good load using 41,2 grain of N135. I used the ladder and the group at 41,5 and 40,9 also grouped well. This is 3 shots at 220 yards the largest of...

I have a Remington 700 SPS tac. in a AICS in .308 I also have a Sauer 200 STR target rifle in 6,5x55 I like shooting the Sauer better than the Remington, but that might have to do with me training a lot more with it.

    Multicaliber ''Sniper'' rifles

    for the civilian shooter like me, is there any big advantages to the multicaliber systems like the Sako M10, MSR and the new Multicaliber AX other than being multi caliber? Will they be just as robust as a designated rifle? I can see that the SRS is a great system, having a lot of calibers at a...
