    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    There is no universal reamer for anything “match” There isn’t even a definition of what match means.

    Precision Rifle Gear My first Ckye pod issue and some nice upgrades!

    I do it every stage. Half the time the shitty lil spreader buttons have loosened up

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    The smk are supposed to be jump tolerant but the longer match freebore is nicer if you handload. For factory only I don’t see an advantage over the wylde.

    Ring on bullet

    What’s your case neck diameter before and after seating the bullet? That will show you how much interference fit you have between the case and bullet. Too much means too much force to overcome and you get deformations.

    Ring on bullet

    Too much neck tension or maybe just needs the stem lapped to the bullet. Take the stem out of the die and see how it fits the bullet by hand.

    Rifle Scopes Scope is bottomed out & shooting high

    30mils in the vortex hd3-15 vs 24 in a gen3 area btr 4.5-27 How far from the edge of travel on the vortex were you? It would be 15u/15d vortex and 12u/12d ares mounted flat Shift that 30moa=8.7 mils for the mount leaves us with 23.7u/6.3d vortex and 20.7u/3.3d ares. Mechanical shifts stacking...

    Help me decide?

    These are great for that situation, very quick to poke in. Tuck under your shirt collar etc and they are right there on your neck for quick insert

    6GT Teething issues (Feeding 1st 2 rounds)

    Is inserting the mag difficult when it’s empty too? Is it tough all the way or just at the top clicking in that’s difficult? I like to knock the base plate off to empty the feeder out and get some sand paper and work on the inside of the feed lips to get ride of the shaper edge and take some...

    6mm Creedmoor OAL Confusion

    So that they never have to answer the phone on why it doesn’t fit in someone’s chamber. Believe your chamber, not what the book says it should be. And because oal is a basically useless metric other than for fitting in mags. The tip of the bullet shouldnt touch the barrel.

    Exploring PRS

    That’s a good price regardless of the barrel life but yeah

    Rechambering a burnt barrel

    I think the general thinking is that a rebarrel only lasts 1/3-1/2 as long as a new barrel, so when you add in the full cost of gunsmithing you may end up paying 100% of the smith fees for 50% of its life best case, even if it has no material cost. Add in the time and it becomes more cost...

    Spotting scope info

    Ive spotted holes at 500 but I find the paper makes a bigger difference than the glass once you get above a reasonable threshold. Super white paper tends to wash out the holes, a duller softer paper shows the contrast better. Having a backer helps contrast as well so you see the shadow of it in...

    Upside down reloading tray.

    Exactly what I do. Out of the trimmer mouth down into the case to inspect flash holes. Flip them over onto the lid, trimmer and back mouth down into the case. Flip them over onto the lid, prime, insert mouth down to see you didnt skip any. Time for loading, you guessed it, flip it onto the lid.
