I’m at a point that if they don’t start arresting and hanging people then I just don’t give a fuck!

Remington MSR / PSR bolts

I got a chance to complete a critical step. The locating pins were successfully located and seated! Blended in nicely with the outer surface. I checked these with a couple bolt heads and everything lined up. I also finished the fixture to adjust the bolt handles for proper timing, but ran out time (no pun intended.) I'll complete that next. We're getting there, and I appreciate the patience of those interested.

Is it worth reloading precision ammo on a single stage versus progressive press?

I currently reload bulk calibers (9mm, 45aarp, .223 and .308) on my Dillon 550. I am wading into the waters of 6GT and was curious if it is worth getting a single stage press to reload that on. If so, how does the RCBS Partner Press compare to the basic Hornady Lock and Load? My grandpa has the RCBS that he said I could have, but the Hornady can be found cheap and I like the idea of the quick swap bushings so I don't have to change stuff around every time.
Using a press where you can swap dies out quickly is a big asset when you're experimenting, like taking a close look (measurement) at each stage for a case to get all the dies set to give you what you want on the final outcome. This is why I like my Forster Co-Ax as well as the not so cheap Nexus :eek:, where the dies can be quickly popped in and out. So, since you're "wading into" a new cartridge and probably looking for more precision. . . go with the Hornady with their quick change bushings. That RCBS is a good press, just you have to fiddle with it more. ;)

Worse, they convicted LePen of trumped up charges of stealing money... which is almost certainly bullshit...

And are threatening to put her in jail... Also banned her from running for any office for 5 years...

The French need another revolution. Globalists and muzzies... off with their heads!

Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Tac A1 - scope mount recommendations

Its refreshing to get an honest opinion. Most of the previous posts I read (not necessarily here, but all over the web) 8/10 times you see people say tilt is a requirement, but good to know 1000 yards is solid on the existing rails. I'm in WA and the furthest range I have anywhere near me is 1000 (unless I head out to public land) and my local club is up to 600.

Appreciate all the feedback! Definitely have some work to do with getting it mounted and figuring out all the bells & whistles of this scope (plus relearning how to judge elevation and such since its been a LONG while).

You (along with all the others who gave feedback) rock!
You might find the Online Training offered here to be of use. It certainly was for me. If you are paying for a subscription, you already have access to it. If not, read on.

You can subscribe as long as it's worthwhile, or if there other subscriber benefits you find useful. To access (I use a laptop; these instructions should be more or less usable with mobile browsers):
  1. Click / tap your screen name at the upper right of the window/screen
  2. On the dropdown, click/tap "Account upgrades" halfway down right column of options
  3. The "Account Upgrades" screen appears, showing your current status.
  4. Assuming you're a "Free" member, click/tap "Upgrade" on top menu bar.
  5. Click/tap "Subscribe" on the membership level you like. Online training is available in all levels.
  6. Follow directions.
You should now be able to enter the "Hide Online Training" forum. There are quite a few topics from which to choose... I imagine it's changed somewhat in the seven years or so since I used it, but I did learn a lot.

Enjoy.

One other thing: Keep a log for all your rifle's settings, environment data for your range trips, and so on.; A critical data point you want to record is your rifle's (well, your barrel's) round count. You probably have no information on rounds fired before you got it, but ya gotta start someplace. A gently-used 6.5CM barrel might go as far as 3500 rounds before its accuracy hits the wall (which happens rather suddenly); an abused one (hot loads, overheated barrel too hot to grip on your hand) might quit by 2500.
