Can someone recommend a website where you can still buy reloading components? I'm looking for 175gSMKs for 308 and Lapua Brass. Thank you.

As I get ready to purchase my first chronograph I thought to myself...self...it would be great if you had a list of best reloading practices so you can achieve consistent results with your reloads and not have wildly different readings with every shot. If you have been down this road already...

Any recommendations for a Gunsmith in Marlyand? Thank you.

Shot from distances of 200 to 800 yards today. At 200 where the rifle is zeroed I was hitting dead center. Elevation was spot on but as I progressed further out the rounds kept landing to the right. At 800 yards it was pretty significant. I am shooting a bolt action rifle, left handed in prone...

After doing some reading I purchased a K&M neck turning tool. I also bought a Sinclair Concentricity Gauge. The neck turning tool came last week and I turned 50 pieces of new brass. Went to the range this weekend shot the loaded rounds and all went well. The Sinclair Concentricity gauge came...

Reading about the need to bump the shoulder of my fireformed brass .001" to .002" to achieve the correct amount of headspace in my rifle. I have a RCBS competition full length resizing die and a Lee Collet Neck sizing die for my .308. I have come to like my neck sizing die as it eliminates the...

I've been reading about neck turning and wanting to purchase a few tools. When looking for a concentricity gauge to measure the runout I came across Hornady which has a new gauge caiming to correct the runout in a completed round without the need to neck turn the brass. It seems to do this by...

Picked out the scope and now I've been reading about the rings and bases. Everything I read says don't go cheap on the rings and bases. I'm trying to discern the difference between cheap rings/base and quality. Is it the material they are made from? Right now I am looking at Burris Tactical...

I've been looking for a review on this particular model with the reticle shown in the link below. Has anyone had experience with this model or may know where I can read a review? I've searched on this site and others without much success...

Hello, I've had a Vortex Crossfire for close to 1 year. 2 weeks ago I noticed the windage adjustment moving every time I fired the rifle. I contacted Vortex and shipped the scope out for repair. Received it several days ago. THe process was very quick and the customer service extremely...

Last year, April 10th I purchased my first rifle. A savage 10FLCP-K chambered in .308. I bought a cheap $100 6-24x50 Vortex scope and a $20 bi-pod. Recently upgraded the bi-pod to a Harris. Bought some military surplus ammo and started shooting. After getting tired of my 5" groups at 100 yards I...

So after reading a little bit about annealing I decided to give it a go. I bought a "benzomatic" butane torch at the hardware store for $15, used my power drill and held the brass in it with a lee shell holder. Shut off the lights in my work room and spun the brass in the flame until I saw a...

Working on setting up a website to sell reloading equipment and accessories. After contacting a few manufacturers I've been told I need an FFL to sell their product. The web is full of information about obtaining this license but I'm trying to find someone who has already done this. What is the...

THE GREENHILL FORMULA Twist = 150 x Diameter squared / Length So... I've been reading the ABCs of reloading by Rodney James and now found something else to drive me crazy. I've just started purchasing reloading equipment, have my single stage press and a good set of dies. So now it's...

Hello, making some purchases to enter the world or reloading. I purchased a Savage 308 back in February and now have the itch to make my own handloads. I am considering purchasing the RCBS 37801 competition full length rifle die set. But I'm trying to justify spending the $91 when there are...

Went shooting with my bolt action 308 today and after the first shot when trying to cycle the action the bolt would not cooperate. I had to muscle the bolt open. This had happened once before, again on the first shot of the day. After that, no problems firing a total of 40 rounds. Is this...

Went out today for the 4th time with my rifle. I have a savage arms .308 10FLCP-K. I'm shooting off a bi-pod from the bench testing 7.62x51mm german surplus 145 grain, Federal Premium .308 Win 165 grain & Hornady Superformance .308 SST 150 Grain. <span style="font-weight: bold">All shots were...

Alright I'm coming to the experts. What's the story about breaking in the barrel on a new rifle? How important is it? And how many rounds / trips to the range before it's broken in.....

Ok...just got a great deal on military surplus ammo from cheaper than dirt. Said it was 7.62x55mm which ... in my newbie head translated into .308. Started poking around the web and now I'm questioning if I can use this. I have a savage bolt action rifle chambered for a .308 and bought...
