standard

hallo because of all those shortages, I would like to know what are yours latest experiences about those RWS LR (Large Rifle) primers; 5333 (magnum) and 5341 standard, about velocity vs others, and consistency vs others. sincerely, mark

I know that the factory trigger can be replaced with aftermarket triggers such as Timney, Jewell, Shileen, Basixx,Huber, et. al. But what can be done to the factory trigger to enhance/tune performance?

I need to order a BDL bottom metal and they have short action small bolt face and short action standard bolt face. Which one for a .308?

In all my reading about density altitude (relating to shooting), the Army Standard Metro atmosphere, 29.5275 inHg, 59°F, and 78% humidity is referenced. However, Kestrel meters use the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) of 101.325 kPa...

Looking to know how much a barrel needs to be set back in order to completely clean up the chamber with an ackley improved reamer? Thanks Dave

I am about to purchase some reloading bullets for .223 and I cant decide on moly or standard bullets. I will be loading either 69 or 75's. I would like to buy moly but I have been told that if you shoot moly through your barrel then that is all you can shoot accurately through it. Is this true...

I just got a chrono and my loads suck for consistency. SD of 160 and extreme spread of 507!! I am working on getting the load more consistent. Remington cases. Varget. 175 gr. SMK. Fed 210M I size the cases and then throw the charge with a RCBS chargemaster scale, then seat the bullet. I...

Guys I have a chance to pick up a few thousand large pistol magnum primers... Anyone have any idea what would happen or how dangerous it would be to replace standard pistol primers with the magnum primers?

I'm looking to get some info all together in one place on 155-gr HPBT loads, starting of course with the "old" Sierra 155. Also interested in any successful loads from those of us on the 'Hide. FWIW, I tried some Lapua 155s over TAC and the OCW over five charges resulted in NOT One Charge...

I didnt go with the timney tactical trigger. Instead i just went with a standard shilen trigger. They are rated a 1.5# to 3.0# I hope this is a decent trigger. Anyone running one here?? Lee

I found a guy here in the Richmond, VA area that has 5000 WLR primers he is selling for $50/1000. I'd buy them, but I have a pretty large stock of benchrest primers already. Here is a link to his ad. http://www.vaguntrader.com/view_topic.php?id=2043&forum_id=7&jump_to=7682#p7682

Well, after hearing all the hooplah about how SK Standard Plus was just like Wolf Match Target I decided to give it a try. My Savage Mk II loved the Wolf Match Target and Match Extra averaging under 1/4" at 25 yds and 1/2" at 50 yds. I ended up shooting 4 groups of 5 rounds each at both 25...

If you have a Surgeon XL not built into a rifle can you simply exchange your standard bottom metal and mag box for a CIP length magazine ? Or is there action work that needs to be completed. If not I am seriously considering the .338 Norma mag. My action is already in the country either in...

I am having a .338 LM built on a surgeon XL. Action is here and it will take the standard AI mags not the newer type coming out. Am I better to use the 250gr pills rather than the 300 gr sierra's etc as the heavier 300 gr will have to be seated to deeply (to feed through mag) and reduce powder...

Anyone have pointers? I've loaded .308 subs with Trailboss before. I tried Trailboss in 7.62x39 with 124gr FMJs. The velocity was fine but the action would not cycle completely. I am thinking of trying a SLOOOW burning powder. I have some Vhitavouri N165 laying around. It's one of the...
