    multiple .264Cal

    Can't go wrong with that combination over some RL15 and Fed 210 primers...that's if you can find it. I wasn't even trying and was able to produce the four-shot group that I have in my avatar from a Savage 110 Storm.

    Whoa! Glad it wasn’t me!

    And everyone in my family looked at me as if I was destined for the psych ward because I was hoard buying reloading supplies while everyone else was after loaded ammunition. I just regret not getting a couple more boxes of 215 primers.

    F****ing Hornady brass!

    That’s why I went with a bench mounted priming tool by RCBS. After seating ten primers my wrist would burn, that hand would get weak, and my fingers would start feeling numb.

    Tight bolt with virgin unfired brass.

    Both brands have a 2.53” O.A.L.
  5. Heavy Barrel

    Tight bolt with virgin unfired brass.

    Got two different brands of brass for my 270 Win. Brand X is supposed to be ready to reload right out of the box. While brand Y is known to need prep work done. Neither brand I have no issues chambering in my rifle. Though when I lock the bolt, is where the difference is noticed. Brand Y, I...

    Crooked Case Mouths

    Had three bags of Winchester 308 brass given to me. As I started to inspect them, I noticed that the mouths are crooked. If I try to trim them so they are square, that would make them shorter than the trim length. As long as I seat the bullets to the listed OAL, is there anything I would...

    Used VX-6

    I was milling around a local gun shop over the weekend. When I noticed a used Cooper Firearms rifle, chambered in .280 AI, that had one mounted. I have never been into wildcat cartridges. Even though it is very nice, I have no interest in the rifle. I've been looking into a VX-6 for some time...

    Is it a LOP (length of pull) or eye relief problem?

    Noticed during late season wearing thicker clothes. And the haze is most noticeable at either 12 or 14 magnification.

    Is it a LOP (length of pull) or eye relief problem?

    During the November season, it's usually warm enough then that either a vest or pull over is more than enough. Though during late season, I usually wear something such as Bass Pro's Mountain Stalker Elite Four-Way. The way I was always taught and have read when it comes to measuring LOP. You...

    Is it a LOP (length of pull) or eye relief problem?

    Just short of a year ago, I purchased my first true hunting rifle, everything else I own is bull barreled. It's a Savage 116 FHSS chambered for .270 Win. In which I mounted a Leupold 4.5-14x50 scope, model# 54660 which was produced prior to Leupold introducing the M1 knobs for their LEO scopes...

    2016 Bullet Wish List

    Add me to that list. I've been trying for the last six months to get my hands on some 115gr .257 BT's or AB. My .25-06 loves them.

    Wood Screw Swivel Studs

    After fetching my Savage .308 out of the safe a couple weeks ago, I notice something that wasn't quite right. When I would try to move the sling around the sling swivel on the butt-stock wouldn't budge. And that's when I noticed the rust. Only thing I could think of that could have caused...

    Bullet Seating Marks

    I had this same problem with all my Hornady rifle dies. The worst of them all was for my .22-250. At that time, approx ten years ago, Hornady said there is nothing that can be done to fix it. On a hunch I tried the Redding Competition Bushing dies "$$$ :shock: ". The problem vanished, with the...

    25-06 running slow?

    That is true...I use to have an abolt II w/ boss some time ago, with the exception that it was chambered in .300 Win Mag. . Tried a few different factory loads, everything from 150gr Winchester Failsafe to Federal GM 190gr HPBT. And at 100yds I was getting very consistent groups, about the...
