I'm finally getting close to reloading my first round. When I was getting components together, I noticed that lots of you use H1000 with the 180 grain bullets. Same thing on Accurate Shooter, so I bought H1000. Now that I'm finally getting close to reloading the first round, I got on the...

Botched post, please ignore. Sorry.

Fist of all, I am not interested in lapping my rings. Why has the Basebed and the Basebed Bravo been discontinued? Does anyone have one they want to sell? Is there any way to align a 2-piece base so that you can bed the base properly? I have a NF 20 MOA 2-piece base, a Vortex Viper PST...

I bought one (Part# A111) from Mile High Shooting back in February. When it came the box had a NF label saying it was for a LA but when I opened it, the rear part of the base was labeled RS for Remington SA. The directions clearly say not to use a SA base on a LA (or vice versa) and I...

The "Reloading 101" thread recommends getting a drill press and various accessories. We have a floor drill press but it will be nowhere near my reloading area. My experience with that drill press is not extremely good. My main complaint with it is that I cannot control the speed very easily...

I'm the type of guy that over-analyzes every purchase so I've been researching calipers as I'm getting in to re-loading. First of all, I've read all the threads that said the Harbor Freight calipers work fine and actually met standards for businesses that were striving to meet certain ISO...

I bought this gun: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/firearms-sale/162615-custom-rem-700-7mm-rsaum-*spf.html I will be getting my feet wet on reloading with it. Currently reading all the stickies and the ABC's of reloading. I would imagine as I work my way through all that, these...

It looks like there is a wealth of information on this portion of the forums about getting started on reloading. There is so much information it's hard for me to know which way to turn. I thought I might post my plan here for a critique to see if I'm going to be wasting time/money anywhere...

I bought a used Vortex Viper PST 4-16 x 50 FFP scope on another forum. When I received it I found the the ring marks on the tube were actually indentations. The tube was literally bent in due to improper mounting. I called Vortex and they suggested that I either send it to them for analysis or...

I suppose everyone knows this but I glanced through the forum and didn't see any posts on it. Are they simply changing the names or have the scopes changed as well. I'd mostly be interested in the SN3 3.2-17 vs the LR-17. Thanks.

I've read the ring height sticky and I'm trying to use it to select the correct rings for my scope and base. I have a Rem 700 in .25-06 and I purchased a NightForce 2-piece 20 MOA base for it. I'm going to mount a Vortex Viper PST 4-16 x 50 FFP to it. The ring height sticky says height of base...

In my searching on this forum I've seen lots of threads about MIL/MIL vs MOA/MOA and I've seen descriptions of MOA vs SMOA or IPHY but I really haven't seen any MOA/MOA vs SMOA/SMOA threads. I feel like because of my reading I pretty clearly understand the differences between the three. Based...

On some higher end scopes you can choose which side you want your windage and parallax controls. I notice that some people choose to put both of them on the left side or right side. Which is better? In my mind if you were right handed and you were shooting off the bipod with a sand bag under...

I have a Rem 700 in .25-06 with the factory wood stock. I would like to install an Anschutz rail on it but the only one I can find is made by Versa-Pod and is too long. They say it's a 7.5" rail length and a 9" overall length. I don't think I would feel safe using anything over 7.5" overall...

I have a long action Remington 700. Since it does not have a detachable magazine I place a great deal of value on top loading. Therefore I would like to avoid a 1 piece base for the new optic I am buying. Unfortunately I have been searching this site and Googling in general for an hour or so and...

Unless you buy Lapua or some other brass which has drilled flash hole most flash holes are pressed into the brass. This can create a burr on the...

I'm trying to get in to reloading and was researching scales. Seems like there is a wide range of options but many times the RCBS 304 was mentioned as a good one. So I searched eBay for it about a half hour ago and found one new in box that was set to expire in a half hour. It went for $425...

I just spent quite a bit of time reading through that thread. Actually only got through 2 or 3 pages of it, but I never saw anyone commenting on this. If you're not worried about copper moving at 3,000 fps and 4,000 degree temperatures and 60,000 psi pressures all combined messing your barrel...

I've spent a fair amount of time on this forum the last few days absorbing as much as I can. I'm trying to take the rifle I already have (Remington 700 in .25-06 with factory wood stock and a cheap High Country (Tasco?) 3.5-10x scope and turn it in to something I can use to learn about shooting...

I've been trying to absorb as much info as possible on this forum and I'm still having a tough time making a good decision. I rarely hunt. I do like to pop a 'yote when they come around. Mostly though, I appreciate skills that require effort and discipline to obtain. I would like long range...
