    Gunsmithing opening up a tight neck

    Rifle Scopes Is this my eyes or is something out of whack with glass?

    I have a scope that I've been using for about 6 months. Its a vortex HS 6-24x50 fine duplex. Didn't notice any issues last fall or most of winter at all. Been really happy with it. Just recently, as in last month or so, i seem to be having a problem keeping the target in focus. Reticle is...

    My Awesome experience with Accurate Ordnance

    Like a lot of people I've been watching the for sale threads and thinking about picking up an on sale Sako trg or AI AE on close out. But I've been wanting a custom rig for a long time also. Money matters in my house. After some research i found that I could get a barreled action in 6.5...

    Tikka Stock woes over, for now

    So I've been looking around for a tikka stock that wouldnt kill me financially for a Varmint/Benchrest rig. Hadn't really thought about it, but I had someone recommend a laminate to me. The boyds laminate "tacticool" was only 95 dollars and in stock. If I pillar and bed it I think it will be...

    Tikka t3 question

    I picked up a t3 varmint in 308 (20 inch) used at a gunshow over the weekend. looks new, bolt isnt even worn. Got it for $599 btw :-) . The thing thats bothering me is that it has a integral muzzle brake (magna porting?). The dealer told me it was ordered that way. He said he specifically...

    anyone use a 22-250 with 1/8 twist barrel?

    Ran across a barrel the other day matching those specs in a 26 incher. And it got me thinking (dangerous) about running a heavy 77 or 80gn round from a 22-250. In theory it sounds like it should be really good shooting but i dont know of anyone that runs it. Anyone out there with hands on...

    effect of case life when crimping?

    I usually dont crimp ammo but but i had some 243's last night that had some variance in neck tension. Since i had a crimp die that came with my set i decided to crimp the hundred that i loaded. I load low and dont expect any pressure issues from it. However, after crimping all the brass i...

    crimping question

    anyone crimping for precision bolt rifle? The glossy that came with the die set my newest caliber (.243)is selling the benefits of crimping for consistent pressure and that it builds more accuracy. Currently i just neck size and go with that. It works fine apparently, but now I'm pretty...

    picked up a win 70 in 243 1/10 heavy varmint

    got a good seal on it and snatched it up but had no reloading stuff. Bought brass and dies last night and some 70gn smk as a beginning load. All I have for powder right now is benchmark (i know, shut up). Website shows 36.5 grains max for that combo so no biggie. But I want to load soft since...

    unsafe reloader?

    I was told that I'm a lazy and unsafe reloader because i don't obsess over books/data recently. How many people load like i do and work just fine? I just load 308's for my bolt rifle. I make sure brass is sized correctly (even anneal, damnt), load off of published max's from -10% until I...

    anyone tried Hodgon Benchmark with 168gn SMK 308?

    I got a lb of it for free and figure did give it a shot. I usually use Varget so its a new load for me. But if it sux im not going to waste my time using it in the 308. Ill save it for the 223.
