    SOLD/EXPIRED Savage 6.5 creed takeoff

    No I would also be interested in trading for a high-end muzzle brake for a 338 like a APA Fat Bastard or Terminator T4 obviously with cash on my end

    SOLD/EXPIRED Savage 6.5 creed takeoff

    selling a savage small shank 6.5 creed takeoff 26 in varmint barrel. i bought it from another forum a couple of months ago but a 6.5 110 desert tactical followed me home before the barrel arrived.. i was told it had a very low round count. I never mounted it tbh I never even fully unpacked it...

    Gem Pro or something else?

    Buy a new gem Pro with the warranty and if anything goes wrong exchange it also buy a good set of calibration weights. I throw charges with my chargemaster then dumped that into the pan on the gem Pro and trickle if needed before each loading session I use the RCBS calibration weights and...

    smartphone through spotting scope

    How hard is it to get good crisp focus? I cant believe I didn't connect the dots sooner, I've been considering one of these setups for a while for the range use and load development i mentioned originally while at the same time i have been trying to teach my cousin the basics of mil dot...

    Switching brass 300wm fc17>norma

    This ABM brass start showing pressure signs way sooner than the FC brass even though they seem to average about the same velocity per given charge weight as in 76 grains of h1000 will give me about the same velocity in either case but while the FC brass looks fine the ABM brass is screaming for...

    Switching brass 300wm fc17>norma

    I probably should have just bought more fc brass. The abm brass is 30gr lighter (219 vs 249) than fc, shows pressure signs 2 grains sooner, started finding loose primer pockets on second firing. I thought i was upgrading but apparently not. The accuracy node was a mile wide with the fc brass...

    smartphone through spotting scope

    I'm curious if anyone is doing this at the range for photo or video? I have never tried anything like this but there has been about a million times that I wish I had. My main use would be to Snap photos after each shot when doing ladder test and to spot misses With video when trying to get on...

    Seater die for 285gr eldm

    I dunno why it works, heard a few opinions/theories why it works but for me it just works. When I first started reloading I asked a few guys at the range and ask on a forum how I could milk some more accuracy out of an AR-15 build with a 223 Wylde chamber and I got the same answer a couple of...

    Switching brass 300wm fc17>norma

    Tonight will be a long night of measuring and brainstorming. Right after posting this thread I hit the bench and started loading new test batches starting at 75 grains and just made it out to test them today. I only ended up shooting 1 group because this new brass were showing pressure signs at...

    Seater die for 285gr eldm

    Would i be incorrect to assume that the fl die could be used in place of a redding body die by simply removing the bushing and expander/decapper rod? That would be a big bonus for me incase i end up not liking the fl bushing route and decide to go back to sizing in 2 steps using lee collet...

    Seater die for 285gr eldm

    I like the sounds of that buying 10 sizing dies at $30 each sounds a lot better then buying 10 new match die sets at $80 each. The seating dies are the only Lee dies I haven't been happy with I have just never got around to upgrading them
