    Lapua 6.5 144gn Max Range Target

    Thank you for posting Cynical. What cartridge are you going to be shooting them from? Keep us posted on your results. I'm glad to see that the lapuas are actually a little shorter in overall length than the berger. I'm curoius what Bryan Litz gets for a BC when he tests these. Seems most bullets...

    Lapua 6.5 144gn Max Range Target

    I know a batch of these new lapua bullets arrived in the states about a month ago and sold out real fast. Just wondering if anyone on here was able to scoop some up and have been able to do any testing and have any feeeback; take any bullet measurements and how they are shooting? I’m curious how...

    Sako TRG M10

    Does anyone know what the barrel tenon thread is of a M10 barrel that threads into the M10 barrel extension? Is it still a 27x1.5 like a regular trg a1?

    Is the new "custom" dies worth the extra money?

    +1 for Forster dies. Not sure why Redding gets so much praise. I compare them to HF quality. I’d buy Lee dies any day over Redding. FYI, any lapua sized cases would be better off with 1-1/4” dies to minimize/prevent clickers.

    300 Norma Mag

    I believe once you have a case that is giving you clickers you are not going to be able to get rid of it with a tighter fitting/resizing die, even a small die. Those will most likely prevent them but I don’t see it squeezing the web back enough. I don’t think a 7/8 die is thick enough for .585...

    Gunsmithing Barrel threading not flush with the crown?

    From what I've read on turning down a muzzle for threading, button rifled barrels tend to have the bore open and bell out at the muzzle if there is not enough steel around the muzzle. Cut rifled barrel makers and/or gunsmiths claim this does not happen to cut rifled barrels. I've also heard...

    7 PRC Sticky Bolt

    Refer to post 15. Your chamber is too tight in the web. Rent a AW2 reamer from 4D reamer rentals and clean up the rear of the chamber by hand. The biggest cause for clickers/ sticky bolt is a tight chamber in the web/body diameter. Second is a die that doesn't size the brass body/web diameter...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    Watch Erik Cortina's podcast with Brian Litz. Brian talks about how humidity can significantly affect powder burn in your brass and affect velocity/sd's when loaded in one atmospheric environment and the ammo is then shot in a different atmospheric condition. Unless your ammo is sealed around...

    338 Norma

    What custom dies are people using for a 338 Norma AI? I have whidden FL and they suck. I have them for two other cartridges and dealing with the same problem. They barely resize the brass. The resizing die is almost two full turns from touching the shell holder. Any closer and the shoulder bump...
