    Best switch barrel action/bolt?

    I'm more of a semi auto guy, but I have a few bolt guns for specific things. Currently have 338LM for a local mile match, 6.5x47L for a local 1100yd match, and a 338 Spectre I bought on a whim because it looked like a fun round to mess around with. I'm wanting to get into more bolt gunning as...

    Would you consider 338LM a barrel burner? or, what kind of round count for a 338LM barrel?

    Chatting with some buddies and going to 1500yds and beyond came up. I said I have a 338LM I built for a local mile match but would probably go 300PRC if I was building a rifle today. One of the guys let out the ol' "338LM, that's a barrel burner!" and I said I didn't think it was. As little as I...

    Zeroing a Steiner S35…

    Grabbed one of the Black Friday S35s from DRT last year and finally got around to mounting it on a new 12” 6.5G upper and went out to zero. WTF is up with this thing, haha? When zeroing at a specific magnification level, are you only good to go when digitially zoomed at that level? I had it...

    Reloading Equipment WTS: AutoTrickler V4 SOLD

    Got a second AT V4 thinking it would help with longer loading sessions to always have a charge ready, but the singleton is able to keep up just fine, so I’m putting up the second one received up for sale. Less than 200rds loaded with it and the JThor tip. Looking to get $515 shipped. USPS MO...

    Reloading for a Russian SVD in 7.62x54R

    Seems we derailed Random Guy's M-14 thread for far too long with SVD talk, so I figured I'd just start this thread to get the data in the wild for the sake of getting data into the wild. All of these loads were developed and used in my 1994 built Russian SVD with the newer 1:9ish twist rate...

    Which Dillon PM powder funnel for 6.5C?

    Going to start loading with Staball on my 650 and need some advice on the proper powder funnel for the 6.5C. A bit of research on Dillon's website shows the Y powder funnel is supposed to be used for 6.5 rifle rounds, but 6.5C isn't specifically listed (6.5 Jap, 6.5x55, etc are). Anecdotal...

    LMT or JP BCG for a 6.5C semi?

    About to set up another AR10 upper for my MATEN lower. Need to get a BCG and am ignorant as to the go-to nowadays. Plan is a 22-24" 6.5C barrel with +2" rifle gas and an AGB. Have a buddy with a complete JP rifle in 6.5C which started with their LMOS system but he has since put in the full...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which 1911 w/ threaded barrel and RMR

    Thinking about finally getting a 1911, but am clueless as to which companies should be avoided or sought after. Will be using this with and without a suppressor and plan to put an RMR on it from the get go. Also thinking a 5" barrel from the start, as it's just going to be a range toy and not a...

    Transitioning from 77gr SMK to 77gr TMK

    Finally burned through all my 77gr SMKs and picked up 2,500 of the TMKs for DMR and long range 3 gun going forward. My 77gr SMK load with 8208 falls right in the 23.0-24.0gr sweet spot (23.6gr, to be exact) nearly everyone running 77s at ~2.260" OAL seems to also find in their load development...

    Where are the 8lb legs of 8208XBR?

    Went to all my usual places, and see some single pound bottles, but it's like 8lb legs are nowhere. Anyone have a line from less usual places? Looking to put 2-3 under the bench.

    Adjustable gas block required for suppressed 18" 6.5G Larue UU kit?

    After speaking with a friend who has a 243 LBC upper for his AR about the assembled Larue UU I ordered last week, he intimated that an AGB was going to be a must for running suppressed 100% of the time. I use an AGB on my 12” .308 upper that’s run suppressed full-time, but haven’t seen the AGB...

    Lee Universal powder funnel getting powder between the case neck and funnel on 338LM

    Never had a problem with the cheapo Lee universal powder funnel until I started loading 338LM with RL33, and I presume it'll do the same with Retumbo. As I tap the powder down, I end up with 1-6 kernels trapped on the outside of the case neck, between it and the funnel. When I raise the funnel...

    A&D FX120i and auto thrower/trickler over throwing

    Got mine in and have been using it for some new load dev. I set the target weight per the instructions and it will throw and trickle up to the target weight, but will then go over .2-.4. I'm guessing this is due to the trickler being slightly out of level with the end of the straw being higher...

    Rifle Scopes 1-4x, 1-6x, or 1-8x variable with MIL external adjustment and/or stadia line reticle?

    In the market for a variable optic in 1-4, 6, or 8x, but my initial research is finding that nearly all of the 1-4x, 1-6x, and 1-8x optics have a BDC reticle. Of the ones I've found which do have standard stadia lines, they're usually MOA. I've moving towards all my variable optics being MILs...
