guys I can't find this test I did . it was Lapua Brass for my 338 Lapua . if my rememberer is working properly ; I took the lightest piece of brass . I took the heaviest piece of brass . I took 8 or 10 , maybe 20 pieces in the middle weight of this batch of brass . I numbered the cases to keep...

my big quantity test was with my 338 Lapua

the correct way of sorting brass is by water volume . I'll look to see if I still have my notes . I weighed a bunch of brass , then I checked volume on this same brass . I have it all wrote down , "IF" I kept my note .

what brand are these primers ? these could be a good thing to have once the primer pockets loosen up a little . with other primers fitting properly , the culprit is the primers .

I've read about the stocks breaking at the wrist . I've also read about the zero being off when switching to offhand shooting

here is the info I have on gas checks .

I "THINK" the slow twist rate was a known thing with the 6mm REM . this is what gave the 243 WIN an advantage . I'd do a little more shooting to get more familiar with the rifle , before I wrote off the 100 grain ammo though . but 5" group is excessive , when you shot 1 1/2 " with the...

yes , getting glass outside is the key in seeing what you like better . when I bought my spotting scope from Eurooptics , they were in a small , back alley, building in the middle of town . I took a couple spotters out in the alley to compare . the only thing I could find to look at was a...

there are a few Alliant powders that are like , powdered horsepower . RL26 is one of them . it sweeps all the velocity out of the corners , and puts it to use .

the whitetails I've brought home , from different states , seemed to have pretty much tasted the same too , except for the ones from Kansas . we had a lease in Kansas that was huge . it was a cattle ranch that we hunted on . we often seen deer feeding out of the cattle troughs . these...

ABSOLUTELY ! please post up pics when you return .

The draws should be over by now . where are you guys going , and what are you hunting this season ? I always enjoy reading about other guys plans . Good luck and safe travels

just a guess , the clean bore needed fouled . when working with Barnes bullets and Grand powder , foul with Barnes bullets and grand powder . I was told by a Bench Rest shooter that I should clean and foul between switching powders . the first powder residue can skew the results of the...

I agree with the twist rate maybe being a problem , these are long bullets .

if you lightly push on the other bullet tips , the faulty ones will break off fairly easy . I'd keep them for getting a scope on paper , fouling the BBL , fire forming brass , ETC . . I don't throw anything away , there is always a use for these inferior components . the good ones ...
