    Possible to fire form dented Lapua brass?

    I have 2-3 pieces of once fired 338 Lapua Lapua brass that got dented in the shoulder because I had my die settings wrong for the press I was using. I was curious if there was a way to resurrect this brass or if I should just throw it in the garbage. At $2+ each, I was a little hesitant to take...

    Quad rails interchangeable between AR-10 and 15?

    I have a spare quad rail in my safe and I remember when I ordered it that it said "fits any AR15/M4 style receiver" so I bought it for my AR15 but ended up going a different route on that gun. I have a S&W 10 on it's way and I am wondering if the quad rails are interchangeable or if I will...

    Rifle Scopes Will my Leupold Mark 4 medium rings fit a 44mm objective on an AR

    Well I was planning on getting a cantilever mount to use on this gun but as of right now, these Mark 4 rings are the only spare 30mm that I have in my safe. I am wondering if these will be high enough for a 44mm bell or if I should go spend my arm at Cabelas picking up a Burris PEPR or something...

    HSM Contact for issues

    Does anyone have anyone over at The Hunting Shack that I should talk to? Sandy hasn't returned any of my phone calls and my online inquiry has not been answered. Basically I have 3 boxes of HSM 338 Lapua ammo (2 300s, 1 250) and I finally took them out to shoot. The first (5) rounds I fired...

    Ammo issues, gun issues, and a shoutout..

    Well early this spring I had my R700 MLR Lapua sent in to Phoenix Custom Rifles for a complete overhaul. I got the action trued, barrel installed, and so on. The first time I shot the gun when I got it back was at the end of spring/very beginning of summer. I bought some cheap Herters 250gr...

    Upper overhanging a lower OK?

    I have a PSA lower that put together a while ago and just today bought a RRA Varmint A4 upper (slick side) to put on it. I noticed when I got it together that the upper overhangs the lower on each side by about 1/16-1/8". Is this normal or do I have the wrong pattern lower? I have pics on my...

    HELP: Why is factory ammo loaded longer than my mags?

    I bought a KRG Chassis that uses standard 3.715" AI/Alpha/Accurate mags. I bought a handful of different 338 Lapua ammo to try: Norma PH, FGMM, HSM, and Herters. The Herters brass is shit, haven't tried the HSM yet but the reviews are shit on that too so shall see. That aside, I noticed on...

    Next gun camp pattern?

    So I just got done with two different color patterns from the new duracoat easyway kits: desert mirageflage and woodland mirageflage, both in a digital pattern. They both turned out very well for my first attempt using stencils (some slight bleeding on the paint). For my next gun I thought...

    Gunsmithing Need my HSP PST026 Inletted...any companies want to jump on this?

    Well I have always done my own inletting but that was usually on cheaper B&C stocks that I wasn't too scared of messing up. Well now I have a real nice HS Precision PST026 that I want opened up to either PTG, CDI, or my existing Accurate bottom metal. Is there anyone you guys would...

    Breaking in a barrel...yes, no, maybe so?

    Well I know this topic has been beaten to death in the past, but the problem I saw when I started researching this is that both sides of the argument have a pretty valid reasoning for what is "proper". I had a 338 Lapua built by PCR recently and I cleaned it right when I got it and then put 5...

    338 Lapua RCBS full length sizing issue

    Hey guys, I have a quick question that perhaps you guys have an answer to. I was going to use some real cheap Herters 338 Lapua brass to work up some loads before switching to my Norma and Lapua brass. The problem that I ran into with both my Lyman and my RCBS die is that the brass runs into...

    Why so much garbage 338 Lapua brass?

    So I got a new 338 Lapua built for me early this spring by PCR. Now that the weather has warmed up I have finally had a chance to get out and break in the barrel and get this thing sighted in. I bought some of the cheaper Herter's 338 Lapua loaded with the 250 gr SMK from Cabelas. The...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How necessary is the recall on the XDS 9?

    I just bought a XD-s 9 from another guy here in state for my carry gun and the serial number falls in their category of recall products. It states on Springfield's site that this is an extremely rare fault that the guns have (might fire twice with one trigger pull, might discharge upon...

    Cheek riser grip tape: what to order?

    So I have a KRG Gen 3 W3 chassis and it came with that POS small polymer cheek riser that is terribly uncomfortable especially with the recoil of my 338 lapua. I also have a XLR Element chassis which has a very nice cheek riser with that almost foam grip tape on there (ATI uses it on their...

    Is it really worth me moving to Illinois for work?

    So my company operates all around the Great Lakes Region and this morning I was called by our CEO and offered a new position out of our IL branch. I currently live and work out of one of our Michigan branches and I am quite happy there. This new job would be about a 25-30% raise from my current...
