    R700 Alpha1

    R700 is it back? It looks like the much needed upgrades are there, but I think they are a day late with all of the competition in this market. I am interested to see what the price point is going to be. https://www.ronspomeroutdoors.com/blog/12-upgrades-in-new-remington-700nbsp-alpha-1-rifle

    .25 Cal 135 Hybrid In 25 Creedmoor

    Is anyone having luck with these? I have been having a hard time getting a load to shoot consistently. Using Peterson LRP brass (that had been fireformed with 115 vld hunting bullets and shot great), I started off with charge weights of H4350 starting at 40.5 to 41.5 and shot over a...

    Tips for loading PVA solids.

    Good evening hide, I've been struggling trying to find a good load with the 120gr seneca bullets from PVA. I heard that solids are a different kind animal and like a lot of jump to the lands. My problem is seating the boat tail in the case deeper. How deep is too deep? I have always tried...

    Lone peak fuzion ejection.

    Good morning hide, I just returned from the range doing load development and had some questions about my lone peak fuzion. It seems like the ejection was a little weak compared to some other actions I have. Is this by design? It's kind of nice not chasing brass all over the place, but it's...

    Unexplained fliers. WTF!

    Good evening hide members. I was out at my local range this afternoon fire forming some brass, and confirming a load of H4350 and 115 dtacs. The load I used for fire forming was impressive, I put some berger 105 hunting vlds over a mild charge of H4350 and it shot lights out. The 115 dtac load...

    Gunsmithing Dimpling barrel for gas block screws.

    I am trying out a different gas block on my barrel to get the lowest profile I can get. I ended up with a badger ordnance tdx gas manifold which was one of the lowest profile I could find. I temporarily put the block on my barrel and see a huge need to dimple both screws because they stick out...

    Low profile gas block clearance.

    I recently finished up my first build, and learned a whole bunch along the way. My concern is the clearance between the gas block and bottom of the inside of the handguard. There is about. .05 to .06 of clearance without pressing the barrel and handguard together, and it never touches unless I...

    6xc Lee collet die

    I would like to give the Lee collet neck sizing die a shot, but as my luck would have it they don't make 6xc as a standard option. I see they have 6 creedmoor as an option, would that work? It looks like the overall length is close enough. Or am I stuck sending in 3 pieces of brass, and waiting...

    Trimmed brass too short....

    Hey All, I recently was doing some hand loading for the 6mmbr norma for an upcoming prairie dog trip. We were looking in an old manual that was for 6mmbr Remington, The trim to length on the norma dimensions is 1.555 where the trim to length on the remington is 1.520 What now?:confused: Is it...

    6mmbr loading dies.

    I want to get some loading for my 6mmbr done, but what dies? The commercial dies say they are for 6mmbr Remington. I know Norma upgraded the case, and now even new tolerances are due to Lapua making brass. My question is without paying for custom dies will I be okay with a brand like Rcbs or...

    Jewell vs timney

    I am currently building a bolt gun for range work/ Varmint, I really want to install another timney trigger, but the jewell seems sweet after shooting a friends rifle yesterday. It sounds like the jewell is prone to dirt, and sand but I am not too concerned about it. Any suggestions are much...

    Military brass can kiss my A**

    I was saving up most of my military head stamped Lake city brass, as well as the federal ar .223. A range officer at the range has the dillon super swage, and let me use it one weekend, so I went through and resized de-primed and swagged all the brass I had on hand.. I am now trying to reload...
