    Need Help--308 Brass Growth and Stuck Cases in Rem 700

    I had some issues with PPU brass as well. I was running 178 AMAX's atop 43.5 grains of varget, and OAL was loaded to 2.80. My Savage 10FP plan and simple you couldn't get the brass out of the chamber. I pulled a bunch and check powder since this was mid load from Hodgons website but high for the...

    Homemade Case Lube

    This is from piston pete way back when. I use the 99% isopropyl alcohol and lanolin for my lube and like this guy I can lube 250+ at a time. I use SS tumbling though so it is easy to get the lanolin off with dawn on the final quick wash. I store my extra in a air tight mason jar. "buy 32...

    Gunsmithing question on mcree chassis fit and finish

    Well got mine mounted up. Shots are off my phone and it was late so I wasn't to focused on quality.

    AAC-SD issues... Upgrade or sell it and start over?

    Everyone has said it already it is most likely your stock. So test with a better stock first and foremost if you are sure everything is torqued to spec. I am in the Phx area along with many other members here. I am sure someone would let you barrow a stock for testing and even be a second...

    I do not always use the pins in my cleaning cycle. I have 3 drums and only 2 have SS so if I need to clean some brass the sized brass goes in a drum with water and dawn. I do put some more soap in then I do when I clean so maybe 2x more. I only tumble that for 30 min or so and I have yet to have...

    Same here and depending on the case if I use lube to size I re-tumble with dawn and water (use a homemade case lube so soap takes it off really well) after I do the the first tumble then prep.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Before and after shots of a piece of brass found out in the desert. It was out there for many years as I found it buried and just happen to see it sticking out a tiny bit when I was picking up another piece of brass. Heck I thought it was steel and almost through it in my steel scrap bucket...

    Rifle Scopes Best all around scope $1500

    I currently run the SWFA 5-20. Great scope for the money I am not sure I am sold on the reticle. It has some good features but being as it is not the norm of what I am use to (mil dot) It is taking some time getting use to. It is built like a tank though I feel like I could use it as a club if...
