I'm thinking the ogive shape is the reasoning as since the comparator is kind of a relative measuring tool. I figure the comparator touched exactly where my rifle did, I might see the same numbers bullet to bullet

Okay thats what I was thought the reasoning would be and why I checked both bullets to start with. I figured using the comparator is only a relative distance and that between different bullets I would need to recalculate my "relative" distance to lands switching between different bullets. My...

Thank everyone for all of the replies! I eventually got the case smoothened out. I polished the inside of the case pretty heavily which helped a lot. I ordered dies at the same time as the modified case, but I still have yet to receive them. Therefore I was a little limited in my route to fix...

I'm using a Hornday OAL guage to measure my distance to the lands on a 6.5x284 Norma. Just recieved my Hornady modified today and when i insert a bullet in it, it has a much tighter fit than I imagined and does not allow me to push the bullet smoothly. It seems like there are two points where...

I stumbled across some of you load development post on another thread and they gave me some hope because I'm looking at a criterion for NSS. I talked to james yesterday and he has several 1-8" but on the shelf, but no 1-7.5". I think I'm going to go the 1-7.5 route, my deal is I could probably...

I could be over thinking this and maybe its splitting hairs but I'd like everyone's opinion before I drop several hundred dollars on a new 6.5x284 barrel. I'm about to buy a new barrel and slightly torn on which barrel twist to go with. I don't plan on shooting anything lighter that 140s...

Do you remember which sporter contour the barrel is?

The LRH has an aluminum bedded stock. I would check it to make sure it isn't getting barrel contact on the stock like mine was. I had to put some sand paper on dowel rod and sand out the very end of the forearm a little. I would go ahead and lighten the trigger from what they sent from the...

I know both of these rounds aren't really even in the same category but hear me out. Ive been working with a savage lrh in a 300 WSM for while now and after never reaching the accuracy I want, Im ready to move on. Originally I started out shooting factory ammo to break in the barrel and build...

Ok im looking to get a 22 mag for hog hunting on a rimfire only WMA and am between a savage 93 and cz 455. Lately ive been packing in a 17 hmr in a savage 93 that is actually my fathers gun. looking to get a gun of my own with a little more punch behind it for hog so ive been looking at these...

I hunt a WMA close to my house that has loads of hogs on it but its rimfire only. I have a 17 hmr and 22 lr but im about to buy a 22 mag to hunt these hogs. Looking for the best possible bullet in 22 mag to hunt them with and have found 50 grain bullets but if i recall they were hollow points...

Has anyone had any experience shooting trap with a Franchi Renaissance Sporting model 12 ga or know anything about it. I would like to get a new O&U and this gun caught my eye.

I probably should have added i have a guy i will send the gun to for some work. I'll have the forcing cone lengthened, port the barrels, custom chokes, and and adjustable cone added. by the way i found another interesting gun but i dont know much about charles daly shotguns. It's a CHARLES...

I'm looking for a new o&u 12ga trap gun. I would really like to stay round $1000. The gun I'm mainly looking at is a cz woodcock. The question I have about it is does anyone know if the it has an auto safety where the safety goes back on after opening and closing the action? I also am...

what cz O/U do you have? I started trap shooting this year and need a 12 ga for next year. I was looking at the CZ woodcock. any draw backs to not use this gun ... I was using a franchi 620 (my bird gun) but i want a 12 ga over and under before next year.
