    Like the title says, I'm asking for advice from others who get it.. Back story is I was about to send my FN SPR to SAC for barrel threading, brake, bedding, trigger work and cerakote the whole shebang. I got to thinking and reading..

    datguy's FN SPR A1a build

    I've had my FN SPR A1a for a little over two years. It's my first bolt rifle. I've put about 400 or so rounds through it. I decided I'd like an adjustable cheek piece, so I pulled the action and boxed it up to send to stockdoc to do his work. A before shot: I added the FN drop in bottom...

    About to buy a Dillon 1050

    I've been reading, researching and bugging Brian Enos for the past several weeks concerning buying a new 1050. I load my .45acp and .223 on a 550 currently. I really, really want auto index and a case feeder. I kinda geek out on reloading gear and tools/equipment in general and the 1050 looks...

    Press dust cover

    I have a hot rod upholstery shop aside from my day job. Tonight I made something for my reloading bench- a cover for my loaded up T-7 on an Inline Fab Ultramount. Styled like a seat cover with top stitching. Thinking I'll make covers for the rest of the reloading bench gear..

    Seating depth measurement

    308 Dies - Forster or Redding??

    I didn't want to highjack another thread, so I'll ask the question in a new thread. I'll be buying some "nice" 308 dies in the next month or so. I am torn between the following: Redding Competition Bushing 3-Die Neck Sizer Set ($215.99) with the carbide size button ($33.49) and Redding's...

    Please advise: another very first hand load workup

    I'm posting this thread in hopes to get some feedback from those more experienced than I am about hand loading. I have found that my FN SPR A1A really seems to like Federal Gold Medal Match Sierra 168 gr HPBT ammo. I get consistent .5 MOA groups with this factory ammo. Well, I drank the koolaid...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 6-24x50 turret allen wrench size?

    I have been a lurker on here for some time. I have a Bushnell Tactical Elite 6-24x 50 (426245F) that didn't include the allen wrench for adjusting the zero on the turrets. I have searched high and low and can't seem to find the size written anywhere on line. It is not called out in the manual...
