If so, what velocities did you obtain and how does it perform?

I just received my Giraud tri-way trimmer last week. It works great. However, when I tried using my old corded Dewalt drill, the shaft was just a little too short for the keyless chuck on the drill to grab it. I was able to use my battery powered drill, but it would be nice if I could run this...

My previous post explained issues I had with getting any appreciable setback in resizing some once-fired Lapua brass. After calling the die manufacturer, I swapped out the expander ball with one for a smaller caliber, removing the expander from process, but keeping the de-priming pin in place...

I’m working on setting up my seating die to resize some once-fired Lapua brass. I use Imperial sizing wax for lube. I am not using a special resizing die; just a normal Hornady .308 resizer. I was able to set the die to the target setback between .001” and .002”. The problem I am having is that...

Hey All, Is this a good deal from Eurooptic or should consider other LRF options? I want an LRF that will range deer and steel plates out to 1,000 yards. Also, I don’t want to waste money on a product that has functional problems, so reliability is important...

I’m interested in an LRF for ranges out to 1K yds. I’m not sure if Binos would work for me since I wear glasses and one eye is extremely dominant. What are your recommendations? Thanks!

Here are some cases from recent .270 Win loads I tested in a bolt gun. I am concerned about the appearance of the ridge near the case head. Note that the brass was new, run through an FL resizing die, and chamfered, resized, and trimmed to consistent length. The load was 44.0 g of 4064 - a...

I had a lot of new Win .308 brass bought in the mid-2000s. Most of it is now once fired, so I recently sent it for cleaning, resizing, trimming and headspace checking. New cases once-fired in my Rem 700 show shoulder growth of .002”, as measured on a Stoney Point tool. This is also the...

I have been using new Winchester brand .308 brass for a long time, but my supply was running out, so I sent it off to have it resized, trimmed, and cleaned. After receiving the brass, I checked to see if would chamber and extract in my Rem 700 and it was fine. Today was my first loading session...

My Hornady dies are used but in excellent serviceable condition and the set includes a taper crimp die. Another option is to trade my Redding .223 sizing die for the Dillon 9mm set and include the .45ACP dies in exchange for the Dillon 9mm caliber conversion kit. Let me know what you have and...

I would like to find some 200/300/600 yard service rifle target diagrams with an MRAD grid superimposed. I have a high power data book laid out with an MOA grid, but I would like an MRAD grid for scope shooting. The closest thing I have found is here, but it is for a 1000 yd F-class target...

I have been having great difficulty getting my LABRADAR to track projectiles. I regularly get acquisition errors. I have been shooting a .308 Rem 700, on a range that has targets at 200, 300, and 600 yards. I am using an external USB power supply (no batteries). I emailed Labradar about it...

I am considering trying out a 3x600 yard match. Classification options are F/TR or F-Open. My Rem 700 5R has one sling stud on the forearm. What are my options for bipod mounting and what is a good bipod at the $250 or less price point? Thanks!

Most of my reloading has been for accuracy, but I want to work up a load that accurate at long range, but also is useful for deer hunting at shorter distances. I’m using a 24” early Rem 5R. I look forward to hearing your insights. Thanks!

I have been considering getting a TriggerTech trigger for a Remington 700 rifle and I am looking forward to seeing reviews of the upcoming two-stage trigger. Do I also need a custom firing pin spring to ensure optimal trigger performance? Thanks!

Let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks!

I have a Rem 700 with an HS Precision stock. I bought a Vortex Razor HD (gen 1) scope and it has high rings. I could replace the rings with lower height rings, but even if I did that, I think I would still need a riser of some sort. I prefer something that is modestly priced and doesn't...

I’ve been looking at triggers lately. Which make and model is the best option for a factory early model 5R? I’ve read reviews of TriggerTech and Geissele. Thanks!

All, I want to do some 1K loads for an early vintage Rem 700 5R, 24” ss barrel, 1/11.25 twist. I’ve been considering some of the 185 g Berger bullets: the Juggernaut or the hybrid. However, Berger’s stability calculator says the hybrid is marginally stable and also indicates that 185g is...

HighTide22 and I arranged a meet and I bought a Vortex Gen 1 Razor from him. I haven’t fired any rounds under it yet, but the scope looks as - advertised and well cared for.
