    Merry Christmas from Accuracy International

    I just got one of those awesome deals on an AI AE MKlll from Mile high and couldn't be happier. Fantastic price, easy ordering, fast shipping on an Accuracy International....couldn't have asked for more.

    Merry Christmas to all you Hiders :) I got my present a little early...my son who is Army EOD is not leaving for Afghanistan!

    Fieldcraft Two Way Radio

    Old thread, but I thought I'd add this for those that find the thread looking for a cheap comms option. Nextel handheld radios ~ preferred models are #Motorola i355 and i570 for durability, function and privacy. These old Nextel phones work WITHOUT a service plan. Range exceeds what your going...

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Forster has yet to reply to my email sent days ago. I'm going with Deadshots advise of polishing it with a mop...now to find one that fits well.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Thanks to all for the advise. A culmination of better lube, different press (far sturdier bench), and thoroughly scrubbed dies did the trick.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    It does not appear to be polished. I plan to get an FL (non nat match) next trip to the reloading supply. Hazord~ Yes, this makes perfect sense. "The thing about a case gage is that it is cut to the SAMI specs for a complete case profile. You don't get the full picture if you are just using a...

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    I don't have a case gauge. Would a caliper suffice? Note, I have new lapua brass that wont fit either.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Chamber is an ai ae mklll. I cleaned it last night and lubed with quick slick (all I have on hand). I'm going to take it over to a friends reloading table today as it's built sturdier than mine. If it won't go with better lube and a lot of direct pressure is it advisable to attempt multiple...

    Fieldcraft ACU Camouflage pattern really that bad?

    The camo works better than I would have guessed in the vegetation shown. I need to come shoot with you! Awesome location.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    I loaded some cases, shot them and attempted to run them through this die...same deal. It gets tight, tight, tight before 1/2 way in.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    Clean it this way even though it's a brand new die?

    I'll get whatever lube those that know suggest.

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    The die is in fact marked .308, lube is Lyman's Quick Slick. The portion of the case that makes it into the case is left with definite abrasion marks....perhaps lack of polishing is the issue. I'll try cleaning with brake cleaner, lubing and running one in again. If not I guess I'll try to...

    Forster NM .308 die too tight

    I just bought a new set of dies: Forster Ultra Die Set FL & Micrometer Seater 308 National Match. I went to full resize some federal ball load brass today and the casing will only fit 1/2 way into the die....tried a few with the same outcome. I tried a new Lapau brass, and while it's tight, it...

    Homemade Zombie Emergency Box display :-)

    Craftsmanship looks fantastic! I'm actually having something similar built right now as a gift. My buddy has his deceased mothers bb gun hanging on the wall in the cabin....well, he did :) I took it to a photo framer to get it put into a shadow box.
