    Ingenuity Powder System

    Yes, I have two of the RCBS powder droppers and they like to choke on the big kernels and you have to force it to cut one of them or jiggle it back-and-forth every couple of throws which can cause the powder to settle and lead to overcharges if you are close to the target weight. This is the...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    The Lee from the version two is a giant piece of shit and it would be a big step backwards to go back to a Lee. It is made of plastic and it likes to choke on big and small bones alike. I am surprised that nobody has duplicated the version three even if it required some milled parts and what not.

    I need to invest in some Scantilly, clad artificial intelligence generation software, cause upwards of 30% of these images you guys post are suspect. I could make a lot of money.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    ^this I wish people would stop promising things they can’t deliver. If the match master is where we still are after all these years of fucking around with supposedly superior devices, then so be it. I shouldn’t have sold my two match Masters, anticipating the V4, which I then replaced with the...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    There is in my mind, a difference between inability to keep up with demand and inability to release a product AT ALL going on two years after it’s announcement So I place the IP more in the category of the Desert Tech MDR that I do in the thunder beast Magnus cans. And we all see what happened...

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    Velocity hardly matters in benchrest and anything under 300 yards

    His standard contour that he calls the Desert Tech contour is pretty much the same as there’s may be a little skinnier, but without the fluting so it comes out to about the same weight as a factory barrel And yes, the reality is that if you are in a time crunch, you might want to try to find...

    979 for a barrel ready to go with extension. Get yourself a bolt and you are ready to go. I wouldn’t even buy a magazine to start. I would get a single shot sled from Tyler at MKM. https://www.es-tactical.com/store1/ES-Tactical-SRS-Conversions-p117296585 Oh, and come to think of it, you will...

    The problem with short action customs is they are too proud of their stuff and this guy is trying to save money over a factory conversion. And when I talked to someone there a year ago, he told me they were getting out of doing Desert Tech stuff altogether, but you would have to inquire for...

    You can save some $ buying a barrel blank and having somebody spin one up

    338 Lapua Magnum

    They are not known for QC, and have had ENTIRE BATCHES of botched chambers and had to outsource chambering of certain calibers at one point :-( So it wasn’t a bad guess. These days, I buy my own reamers for many calibers and have an expert gunsmith chamber them

    338 Lapua Magnum

    OK, I’m glad you got it figured out. I am on my fourth 338 barrel for DT, and the first three were done with a DT Reamer, the first one a factory barrel and the next two with DT specified reamers. Sounds like your guy might have been out of spec as you haveinferred. The problem I had was my 338...

    Gracey Trimmer

    I was being cheeky, but my comment relates to the fact that the equipment is no longer supported, and I had inconsistent trim length because it depended on how hard you push the case in because there was a lot of flex in that coupling mechanism between the motor and the trimmer head. It gave me...
