    Meplat trimming and pointing

    I am going to be trimming and pointing my meplats and was wondering if it would be wrong or if it made sense to measure all of the bullets OAL and find the shortest one and trim the rest to that length and then point them?

    Why are we buying up all the ammo???

    For the life of me I can not figure out why we are buying ammo by the cases. There has been no talk of banning ammo or raising taxes on ammo so why the chaos? All we are accomplishing is backing up every supplier and manufacturer for the next year.

    Rifle Scopes Scope options

    I am currently shooting a PST 6-24x50 on top of my 284win and am wondering if expensive glass is going to make me shoot more precisely. The rifle already shoots 1/2moa at 1000yds but I looked through a buddies NF and there is no comparrison. The more expensive glass has better clarity, and...

    284 RL17 data.

    So we went to the range with all of our reloading gear to do some load development on my buddies new rifle. I brought along a pound of RL17 to do some testing in my straight 284.

    Reloader 17 question

    I am wanting to try reloader 17 in my 284 win to get the 180 Bergers over 3000fps. My question is if anyone knows how temperature sensitive reloader 17 is. Im also wondering if anyone has compared to 4831sc to see if you can get a low ES with the RL17

    I think 284win is the real deal.

    7mm rifle build

    I am building a 7mm that will shoot the 180 gr Berger. My original plan was to build it on a defiance long action chambered for 284 Winchester, with some changes mandated by my CEO (aka wife). She wants a 243 AI so it looks like I will be building 2 rifles. I have the 243 figured out but when it...

    I have a vortex viper pst 6-24x50 second focal plane scope and it is going back to them for the second time. The first time it went back was for an abberation on one of the interior lens that looked like a drop of water. It was only visible on 6x and even though I rarely use any power less than...
