  1. Load development with SEATING DEPTH first

    Yes and no on missing your point. I agree that seating stem impact can cause the variation, but in truth I don't see it happening hardly at all. However, since I started sorting base to ogive it is extremely rare that I see differences in seating for each group in the sort. So yes I agree that...

  2. Peterson CTG Co. 6mm BR Norma Brass - Looking for Feedback from Users

    Peterson vs. Lapua, I am an equal opportunity praise'r and complainer. They both have pros and cons. The only BR brass I have is Lapua, but it went straight to 6 Dasher so not much help on your eval. Regarding the other comments, don't be confused by the box or by Grafs' prices. Peterson sells...

  3. Electric Screwdriver/Neck turning

    I always felt that fixed position neck turning was hard on brass. Have you checked concentricity before and after?

  4. Need Rifle scope recommendation: Short and long range use

    How much of your money are we spending? Mil or MOA? FFP or SFP? What is your definition of high powers? $1k range parallax may be a problem depending on your definition of high power. $2k range Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 $3k range (depending on reticle) Schmidt & Bender 3-20x50 PMII

  5. Tikka T3 Lite 300 WSM - New Vortex Scope

    Not sure on the slip on kind, but certainly not true for the made to fit Limbsaver's. You don't even know the rifle has one on unless you read the pad or pull the trigger.

  6. Tikka T3 Lite 300 WSM - New Vortex Scope

    Limbsaver on the T3 Lite goes a long way and they have a direct fit for them. Dampens the shoulder blow which helps get back on target for a follow-up if needed. It's not always about if you can take the hit to the shoulder; you should think about if you want to. While you are at it fill the...

  7. beam scale mystery

    Money right there. The tail bends rather easily when put up for storage.

  8. Electric Screwdriver/Neck turning

    mmmmm, they guys over in the induction annealer thread may be better at that. I tend to stop short of making things gripe-free.

  9. Terrible day at the range ! UPDATE

    Shooters do different things to remove carbon rings. The topic seems pretty close to religion and politics, with volumes written. I will say the not always discussed (although they are said plenty of times) things to be aware of is if you use JB, IOSSO, or some other paste, do not use a patch...

  10. After Bore Cleaning with JB Bore Paste

    I have done some poking around since @LA50SHOOTER made that post. Colloidal graphite is used and an anti-seize. The two most popular ones I found are the type mentioned above (Neolube) and DAG 156. I think 156 may be the fineness of the graphite but that is not clear to me at this point, and I...

  11. Terrible day at the range ! UPDATE

    Yeah, based on your combo you should not be having problems. Guessing you got it warm early and started a carbon ring an inch or so past the OGIVE that is now cracking and filling up with copper. If you feel your patch grab at all there then you have one. I screwed up a 6 Dasher barrel early in...

  12. Electric Screwdriver/Neck turning

    I used this Ryobi for a while since the RPM's were reasonable https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-4-Volt-Lithium-Screwdriver-HP34L/302648210 I stopped using it after I realized that being able to change the RPM based on how much I was taking off, or the diameter of the neck (smaller = faster)...

  13. Terrible day at the range ! UPDATE

    If the copper is not filling a void, then yes it is taking up room. Copper drags on copper, resulting in more copper. I have seen some pretty interesting results on the Labradar and on paper with barrels that were copper fowling. Warm (not hot) barrel with copper fowling was close to normal...

  14. After Bore Cleaning with JB Bore Paste

    I have struggled with understanding what people are really saying with similar statements. Struggling as in I have read/been told about new barrel cleaning (shoot x times, clean, shoot y times, clean, etc.) until you stop seeing copper. However, without cameras, serious scrubbing, etc., doing...

  15. After Bore Cleaning with JB Bore Paste

    No experience with Lock-EEZ, but my experience with JB is copper fowling immediately follows, especially towards the muzzle. I end up cleaning every few shots until bullets stop leaving skid marks. I did find that what oil I used before the first shot matters a little. MPro was horrible. Hoppe's...

  16. No mess decapping press??

    With the exception of the drawer boxes which I pulled from a couple of Harbor Freight benches, it is custom built. Most of it can be seen in this post http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/reloading-bench-build-help-ideas.3988943/page-2#post-37599564 The starting layout is in post #32, and...

  17. No mess decapping press??

  18. Bipod

    If by competition you are talking PRS, you are probably going to use a tripod more than a bipod. A quality tripod makes the cost of a good bipod look cheap.

  19. I think I have found the ultimate carbon cleaner...

    I have tried it. Did not do a darn thing to hard carbon that was still in a barrel that was already cleaned with Hoppe's, BBS, and Bore Tech.

  20. Replacement Savage action?

    Check where the cocking piece pin meets the sleeve. If that slot gets dry or dirty (you want anti-seize not grease or oil) then bad things start to happen. If you have a burr, groove, or small outward bulge then take a small diamond file to it and smooth things out. Put some silver AS on it and...
