    PACT Digital Scale / Dispenser & Tinfoil Hats?

    Re: PACT Digital Scale / Dispenser & Tinfoil Hats? Just spoke with Midway - they are going to take back the PACT & give me a RCBS Chargemaster for $50 more. What a mess. So much for good old U.S. made equipment.... Does that make me communist for upgrading to the Chinese-made RCBS unit?

    Gunsmithing .338 Lapua Barrel Length vs Twist Rate ?

    I currently have a .338 Lapua with a 27" Shilen Select Match Grade barrel and 1/10 Twist.
