    Planning first full rifle build

    I'm very happy with Hawkin's Hunter bottom metal. The flush-fit magazine is the best of the BDL and DBM worlds.

    Primer seating depth?

    No data, but seating the primer, turning the case 45 degrees, and seating again, makes me, and hopefully the primer, happy.

    Question for you reloaders on Load Dev

    Cold bore or cold shooter?

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    Weight sorting Hornady brass. Cut group size in half.

    B4 ARMORY CONCEALABLE SNIPER SYSTEM

    Stuff of fantasies. Looks like top-tier stuff. Other than a Badger scope mount, an AICS mag, probably a proof barrel, and maybe a KRG chassis, I can't recognize much. Tagging for curiosity

    Super weird issues on my .300 Norma Mag reloads

    Are you running an older Trigger Tech trigger by any chance?

    Super weird issues on my .300 Norma Mag reloads

    Primer seating depth should be .003 to .005. Your data seem outside that range, but generally too deep. Look elsewhere.

    Super weird issues on my .300 Norma Mag reloads

    I know you don't think so, but my bet is high primers. Good luck figuring this out.

    Foundation Gideon Hunting Stock

    Cool. Everything I want, and I'm a huge Foundation fan. I have three on target rifles. The only thing holding me back for hunting rifles has been weight. How much does it weigh?

    best bolt action .223 at any price

    Best at any price? Custom or I’m going to say Blaser unless you want to shot heavy bullets and need a faster twist. Good luck.

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    Watch the classifieds here for a .308 custom rifle. Many are trading .308 for 6.5 CM, creating some great buys. Good luck.

    Hot barrel was hammering…why

    Hot barrel or hot shooter? I think we know the cold bore shot is also often a cold shooter shot. The reverse could also be true.

    STRANGE BARREL QUESTION

    Is the barrel heating up? Are you getting tired or dehydrated? Don't clean the barrel before your next range session and see how it does.

    Anybody seen a gun wrap in person?

    I have a hydro-dipped AR that has been knocked around for 20 years. It's still looking good. I'm not sure how much rust resistance it adds, but it did the job I wanted.

    Blaser MOD. 93 LRS2 (any good?)

    Barrels have an amazing life and you can find after market barrels. Not much else to wear out. R-93 parts fit the LRS. Factory barrels tend to have slow twists by today's standards. Resizing brass needs to be done carefully or you will get the dreader "clicker." Mine is the only rifle I own...
