    Initial experience loading for 6.5prc bartlein carbon barrel. Inconsistent when cold.

    The rifle is a defiance tenacity with a bartlein 24” 1:7.5tw carbon wrapped barrel that was built by Marc at Spartan Precision rifles. Shoots factory hornady at 1/2moa with a es of around 20fps so I am definitely happy with it so far. I live in Comifornia so I have to hunt with copper and...

    Anyone running the Frankford Arsenal M press?

    I could use a new press and I have the opportunity to get the frankford co-axial press new for like $120 shipped. I know some tall micrometer seating dies have clearance issues but that shouldn't be an issue for the dies I am using. Wondering if anyone has any feedback on it?

I’d like to resize it back to sammi spec and run it in another gun later but would that mean I need to pull the...

    Ballistic range finders for field/hunting

    Looking to pick up a range finder with solver integrated. Seems like a lot of mixed reviews but I take them with a grain of salt since a silver is only as good as the information it’s given. Looking for something that will provide a solution out to about 1000 but give ranges out further than...

Recently wanted to try AB and was getting drastically different numbers between the two. Found out it was because the shooting angle in the Hornady app has a glitch. I’m using 4dof...
