    McRee's Precision Chassis

    Just want to put in a good word for Scott McRee and his company. I ordered a Manners T/A with elite carbon fill last fall for my new build, but after hefting one at SHOT I decided to spend the last day of the show checking out every 700 chassis that ever was. Hit every booth I could find and I...

    The Act of Killing (documentary)

    Anybody seen this? F'n unbelievable. Gov-sanctioned Indonesian thugs bragging about killing random people and raping 14 year olds, with a giant fat slob drag queen prancing around in wild getups and trying to give free massages in between murder reenactments. Clowns. Indonesia just moved up...

    Reasons for lateral POI shift II

    Turbo54's thread on this from 3 years ago didn't ever get a conclusive answer. Yesterday I was working load dev at 400 and to warm up I tried some of the Remington Premier Match 168s. POI was about 1.5 MOA right of POA. I was thinking maybe my scope was off somehow but I left it. Switched...

    Citranox ate through a milk jug

    Had a mishap this morning, figured I'd share it for anyone that uses this stuff. like some people I use a very mild solution of citranox for case cleaning in my ultrasonic. There have been posts on the acid reacting with the brass and turning it pink etc so I don't go crazy and I rinse...

    Resigning myself to the poor man's approach: lefty TC Dimension

    So I have a bunch of wish list rifles in my brain but somehow this girl that won't get out of my house got pregnant. Reality is on it's way and I'm trying to figure out how to be responsible and still enjoy my hobby. Plus I'm a lefty and I've been wanting to try a left hander like the T3 in...

    UPS & missing packages, anybody having issues?

    In the past 4 months I've had at least 5 situations where UPS records showed packages as "delivered" when I never got them. Someone was in the house most of the delivery days and there was no doorbell, knock, etc. Last week it was 4 boxes of 178 AMAX.

    Just bought 400 pieces of SWA .308 brass

    They have a fire sale going on now, $43/100 cases shipped. Since I was on the fence about ordering I figured I'd share some info for anyone else that's thinking about it. I ordered 400. Shipping was fast. They came in a USPS box with minimal padding, the corner was ripped open exposing...

    Recipes for 700 SPS Varmint 26" .308?

    This is such a cheap--er, I mean ubiquitous? common rifle I figured I'd reach out for any favorite recipes. I don't have QL and I haven't gone through calcs for OBT/OCW. Not sure how much stock matters as long as the barrel is floated? Please specify how well vetted they are too, if...

    FL sizing: need some serious help

    I'm slowly honing my reloading skills with a few breakthroughs... started using the k&m flash hole deburrer instead of the crappy rcbs one, it's incredible. Figured out the forster 3-in-1 trimmer is way more consistent than hand tools. Started neck turning to take down high spots in the neck...

    Looking for advice on 1903A3 (new buyer)

    Some time around 1997 I put a few rounds through my buddy's 1903A3, I think we had a milk jug at 300 yards and I was shocked when I hit it on the first shot. That made an impression on me. I've thought about them from time to time since then, but when I wanted to buy vintage I went with the...

    Gunsmithing Okay I give up...can anybody get this POF to shoot? Smith wanted...

    Sorry to any evangelicals out there but I have tried everything and it never gets better than about 1.2 MOA and it goes up to 2+. Driver issue? Anything is possible but seems like I'd get lucky at some point. I'll be the first to tell you I'm no expert, but this thing seems to suggest it's...

    Nosler 125gr Ballistic Tip for .308...any success stories?

    I tried these for my POF 1:10 and they were a mess. 3031 at 2.7 COAL: first I worked from 43.3 to 46.1 in 0.4 increments. 44.1 was about MOA, but sloppy overall. I went back with 44.0, 44.5 and 45 to make sure it wasn't me. They were all over the place (some off either side of the paper...
