    Primers not seating in hornady brass

    The Hornady .243 brass I just purchased is the same way. I crushed a few primers before I decided to run my reamer on them.

    Range Report Vertical Stringing Advice

    After some experimenting I have come to the conclusion that it's my bipod - or more specifically how I use the bipod with the new chassis. It appears that I have to load the bipod more than I used to. Does this sound right to you guys? 100 yards Moderate loading Light loading Heavy loading...

    Hornady Camlock Case Trimmer Power Adapter - DIY

    I tried to do this too. However, I was never able to get the drive perfectly centered in the socket. This caused a lot of wobble. I finally gave up and bought the real adapter as I decided it wasn't with my time. Good luck though and I hope it works out better for you than it did for me. I...

    Range Report Vertical Stringing Advice

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I had a friend make the same suggestion about shooting one round, break position, rebuild, and shoot again. I torqued everything to specs as I put it together, but I am not above tearing back down and doing it again. I am really thinking it is something I'm doing...

    Range Report Vertical Stringing Advice

    I just got a new chassis - XLR Carbon - for my Tikka T3 .308 and I'm having an issue with vertical stringing that I never had before. My load is: Nosler Custom Comp 175gr IMR 4064 42.7gr Lapua brass CCI 200 primers The primers are a point of concern as I've only used GM210Ms but haven't been...

    Oxidation / discolored bullets - does it affect accuracy?

    I shoot those too and have seen the discoloration when I left them out of the bag. However, I have not experienced any accuracy issues. I am logical, rational, analytical, and direct. Just call me Sheldon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks - definitely like the Lapua brass. This is my first time customizing a rifle like this so I'm really excited about it. Will post back with some target pics. I am logical, rational, analytical, and direct. Just call me Sheldon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Range Report Minute of angle question

    You're over thinking it. MOA is an arc measurement of distance not surface area. In your example, 1 MOA at 600 yards equalling 6" (actually 6.28314") means the size of the target is 6" on a given line. Or the distance from one edge to the opposite edge is 6" (1 MOA). For a circle it would be...

    Winchester to Lapua load data?

    Different powders will have a different variations. For my rifle, I get the same velocity with Lapua brass at .4 grains less of IMR 4064 than Winchester brass. But like has already been said, just start low and work up.

    Hornady Autocharge vs RCBS Chargemaster

    I have the Hornady and while I have had challenges with it in the past, it seems to work well now. I did have to have it replaced though. The first one I purchased died during calibration and would not turn back on. I had only had it a few months. Hornady replaced it under warranty of course...

    Need help understanding my rifle at 500yd

    Another thing to consider is performing Brian Litz's "Tall Target Test" to confirm that when you are dialing 14 MOA on your turret that the reticle is actually changing your POI 14.658 inches at 100 yards. I highly recommend his book Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting. Of course...

    Rifle Scopes Level Scope to earth or level scope to gun then level as a set to earth?

    I must have misunderstood and I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. I was simply attempting to clarify is all. Can you mount the scope to gravity with the rifle canted and have a 20 MOA base in the middle? Or can you only do that without the base?
