I can't remember which one of the guides had this, but it's a modified version that doesn't require cutting a case. Follow the same process, but instead of cutting a slit in the neck, just use a once fired case and use a screwdriver to create just a small indent on one side of the neck. It...

Have you tried using the once fired case trick to get a ballpark idea of how far off you are? I've never found a rifle that had a problem or didn't shoot reasonably well at max COAL.

I have a Chrony Beta, but will be looking at the magneto speed. I like that it's compact and doesn't require futzing with setup at the public range.

Any thoughts about the AX? I have an AICS 2.0 but I'm thinking about moving to the AX for my next build.

As others have said, I've had good luck reloading my FGMM 308 brass. I don't have enough data yet to speak to longevity, but it's shot extremely well. As to their pistol brass, I'm less impressed. I bought up cases of the Federal 9mm at walmart, as the ammo was only a few bucks more than a...

My grandfather told me a story of a late 50s moose hunt up in Canada. His buddy lung shot a big bull and then spent 2, very intense, minutes getting chased around a tree by said moose. My grandfather, never the sort to take life too seriously, was unable to put the moose down due to extreme...

Competition is a good thing. But I don't think we can underestimate the capital investment needed to start up a profitable production line. The tooling, machinery, bulk materials orders often with extensive lead times, mean a lot of cash up front. With R&D time, engineering and getting the...

Now... if we could just get a AR10 platform in 300 WBY I'd be a happy man!

Doh.. here I thought Remington was actually coming out with an improvement on the 700's SPS stock.

Quick review of the LNL LED setup to light your press. Includes a few pictures. http://guntinker.blogspot.com/2013/05/hornady-lock-n-load-led-light-strip.html

With those kinds of failures, I'd have a smith check it out before I proceeded. A few bucks to make sure there isn't some issue with the chamber is insurance on keeping one's eyes and face intact. That said, if it does get the blessing from the smith, I'd find some factory ammo and see if you...

I have cases of South African 308 that was sealed up in the early 80s that still shoots well. As long as it's sealed, I have a feeling I'll still be shooting that stuff in another 20 years.

AICS 2.0 .243 Rem 700 SPS NF 5.5-22 Timney Trigger 95g Sierra HPBT, Fed 210M, Win cases over R19 When it stops shooting like this, I'll put on a match barrel... but it's still shooting like this, so the factory one seems to be ok. :)

I'd say there is some wisdom had from OT3. I keep building/buying rifles with the thought of the bullet I want to shoot out of them, and they keep reminding me that they will shoot what they bloody well want to shoot well, regardless of how much I want them to use my first choice. Try a...

I haven't reloaded a whole lot with a crimp, and this weekend, I had sort of a train wreck at the bench working with some new Norma 375 H&H brass and a new set of redding dies. (I really wish I had some cheap brass to start with... I hate mangling top shelf brass!) Here's what I ran into...

Well gents.. I think the worst may be over. My local Cabelas had a mountain of AE 223 on the shelf and it wasn't a fools rush clearing it out. I spent a few hours there on Memorial Day morning and the pile hardly seemed to shrink. In the past, anything they put out was hoovered up...

At the end of the day, I like having one load per rifle. Simple is good. I save the 120 and 140g for my 7mm08. For the 7RM, it's the 160. It will handle antelope to elk without having to relearn my drops or changing my thinking about wind.

Chargemaster. With the straw trick, I run stick powders all the time with maybe 1 in 15 having to be rethrown for an overcharge. I've thought about having a second one, and I'm looking seriously at the ISD. The design on the ISD and some of the small details, lead me to believe that they are...

I think Super-7 is right.. 7mm Mashburn. But as others have said, any rifle you're not 100% certain of, needs to have the chamber cast.
