    Rifle Scopes Info needed: importing scope to USA from UK

    I imported a scope from the UK a couple of years ago. The exporter required an import permit or confirmation from customs that an import permit was not required. I believe that was a prerequisite to applying for a UK export permit. I managed to get an email from customs saying no import permit...

    Neck tension on new Lapua brass

    OK. An ID micrometer is a fairly specialized instrument. To trust it's measurements you would need to ensure that it is accurate and calibrated and that your measurement technique is producing repeatable results. I don't worry too much about the exact neck diameter of my sized brass. I use a...

    Neck tension on new Lapua brass

    How are you measuring the inside neck diameter? What sort of micrometer are we talking about?

    Best pointing die

    This is the first time I've used the 144s. I'd heard the same thing but I didn't think they looked any different to other Bergers so I've decided to go ahead and tip them. Will try to post some pics to show the difference.

    Best pointing die

    Yes, I do the minimum trim necessary to get a batch of bullets to the same length before tipping. I'm about to start on a batch of Berger 144 Hybrids. I'll try to post some before and after photos.

    Best pointing die

    I have two tipping dies and two meplat trimmers from Bullet Tipping. Their stuff is super high quality and a pleasure to use. Very happy with it. I have not used the Whidden pointing die.

    SAC comparitor question/problem

    The ogive is almost certainly inside the case neck. The SAAMI spec was not written with 77gr projectiles in mind. A cartridge with maximum case length and maximum COAL as per the specification will have the bullet protruding from the case by 0.500". I don't know what bullet you're using but, as...

    Gunsmithing Anyone else make an area 419 hellfire adapter? 14x1LH

    I would say the easiest and cheapest way to achieve this would be to buy the 1/2-28 adapter and have it re-threaded to 14x1LH.

    Tikka T1X

    Another way to add adjustable length of pull to the T1x Bravo is to swap the buttstock for the X-Ray buttstock with adjustable LOP kit. The X-Ray buttstock, grips and X-Ray tool-less LOP kit only cost $20 more than the Bravo tool-less LOP kit.

    Delta Javelin & Stryker v Athlon Ares BTR & ETR v Viper PST Gen 2

    I shoot PRS type competitions. Whether or not you want a xmas tree is obviously one of the key aspects of reticle choice. I made the choice I did because I wanted the Stryker and I knew I would hate the other two reticles for the reasons discussed above. Holding over and holding wind is no...

    Delta Javelin & Stryker v Athlon Ares BTR & ETR v Viper PST Gen 2

    It's difficult to understand how anyone designing a reticle could think that was a good idea. I also have the Stryker. Before I ordered mine, I looked closely at the reticle drawings. I knew those random hash mark increments would drive me nuts so I chose the DLR-1 reticle. It's a heavier...

    Precision Rifle Gear KRG Whiskey 3 W3 video review

    Great review. Thanks. You mention that KRG has more grip sizes coming. Where did you hear this? Any idea what the new options will be?

    New to ARCA rails need help on what to buy and how to make it work

    Another option is the ADM arca clamp. To put this on a Harris, you need an adapter like the ones from Area 419 or Henderson Precision.
