    Is tumbling with stainless really what its claimed to be?

    I use the wet method with stainless pins and have no complaints. I have used it for more than four years and think it works great. After final rinse, i pull the cases out one at a time and give em' a little shake, wipe em' off with a towel and put them on another towel to dry for a couple days.

    Bergara b14 HMR

    I am still very pleased with this rifle. My son ( 10 yrs old ) gets to go out on his first deer hunt this coming Sat. during WI youth season. He had been "training" with a .223 bolt action and I thought I would give him a chance to try the 6.5 since it has fairly light recoil. He was able to...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Good information all around. I do have a question though. And please take this as a legitimate question, I'm not trying to get anybody wound up or defensive, but would just like to understand...if shooting the rifle and sending projectiles down the barrel smoothes out rough areas of the metal...

    Suppressors Options for 300 Norma suppressors

    Hey guys, I have a SilencerCo Omega sitting in "time out" waiting for ATF issue stamp. I have been reading on lots of suppressor websites trying to find options to run on a 300 Norma. Most companies list 300 Win as the top rating for cartridges. My question for you guys is what are you...

    Labradar "summer sale"

    I just got an email from Labradar. They are advertising a "Summer Sale". $50.00 off Labradar chronographs. I think the last sale I saw from them was around Christmas time, so they dont come around often. I know $50.00 isnt a lot, but thought I would pass it along. Chris

    Masterpiece Arms MPA 338

    I do not have a 338 from them. But, I did just receive my 300 Norma Mag from MPA a week ago. If there are any questions i can answer for you I will gladly try. I was able to put a few rounds through it today and was honestly shocked at how little recoil the rifle has. I shot off a bench...

    300 Norma Mag in MPA?

    Update: I got home a bit later than expected on friday evening and there was a package on the doorstep from MPA. A new, different sized magazine was in the package. The original sent with the rifle was stamped " 300 WM" and the new one is stamped 338 Lapua. I took it out to the shop and...

    300 Norma Mag in MPA?

    Could be, but I had left a voicemail at MPA shortly before asking on here. I hope I didn't come off as complaining in the original post. That was not my intent. I was more concerned with my choice of ammunition as I have read multiple times that long seated VLD style bullets have been the...

    300 Norma Mag in MPA?

    Thanks for your reply guys! About 10 minutes after i posted my question, Phil , the owner of MPA called me and we spoke at length. He was very helpful and I believe we may have the issue corrected by using a different mag. I will let you know when i have it and give it a go. A big THANK...

    300 Norma Mag in MPA?

    Hi guys, Anybody here using a 300 Norma Mag in a MPA BA chassis? I have one built by MPA and have not shot it yet. My question is, while going through the rifle to familiarize myself with it, i found that i can not feed it from the magazine. When I cycle the action forward, the tip of...

    What would you do in this situation?

    Why does this type of situation, or at least very similar situation, seem so prevalent in the rifle / firearms building industry? I realize people tend to vent a little on the internet as a bit of "therapy" so to speak, but it sure does happen a lot. I myself am trying to patiently wait on a...

    Bergara b14 HMR

    Bender, I have one in a 6.5 that I picked up last October. I really like the rifle and it shoots better than another 6.5 i have that cost a bit more. The trigger on mine is very nice, crisp, and light. I have only used factory ammo through it up to this point and it groups very well with...
