    Resizing 5.56 LC brass to .300 Blackout... Experiences?

    Depends on what you have already but, I've used the Dillon RT1200 and a case form/trim die from CH4D to make thousands of pieces. Just lube the cases and go to work. One thing is to make sure that your press has a long enough ram (4" should do it) to get the brass all the way up the die.

    Build suggestions for a Remington 40-XB Rangemaster Repeater 7.62mm

    It's a thought...but not really.

    Build suggestions for a Remington 40-XB Rangemaster Repeater 7.62mm

    ALCON: I've come into owning a 1970's vintage Remington 40-XB Rangemaster Repaeter in 7.62x51mm (Match) with a 27.25" stainless 1:12" barrel and all the associated metal accessories for iron sights. The stock on it now is a cut down 40-XC stock (not my doing). I'm contemplating several...

    ? for the model 70 fans.

    It seems like people prefer the CRF action by strongly associating it (mentally) with the pre-'64 M70. By all accounts the pre-'64 was machined better and probably had some better metalurgical qualities than the more ecnomically (efficiently?) manufactured later models but that doesn't apply as...

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    Looks like it's back on track, at least in my case. Out for delivery one day later than expected. Whatever.

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    Seems plausible...I got the same message with regard to a shipment of cigars from PA. Seems a bit odd don't you think; tobacco and guns? What's next, explosives and alcohol?

    Rifle delimma (tikka 595 or stiller) long winded question

    In the case of the 595 that very well might be true--I am meant to understand that the T3 has no such limitation. You might just buy a T3 instead of a Stiller and go from there. I've been able to get good used stainless T3's for about $500 from people who actually want to sell them.

    Rifle delimma (tikka 595 or stiller) long winded question

    I know that Master Class Stocks will build you something nice for the Tikka--you have only to ask. You might also hit up Gary Eliseo about his tactical tube stocks and see if he can make the 595 action work. As you plan to replace the barrel anyhow and his system uses a recoil disk (basically a...

    Gunsmithing Need a chamber and thread job done on my Tikka T3...

    Good point, I've brought it up the the 'smith and I'm sure we'll figure it out. Might get Gary Eliseo involved too.

    Gunsmithing Need a chamber and thread job done on my Tikka T3...

    Had a couple takers on the work--no one local though. I'll have to comment on the results later. The plan is to bolt this all into an Eliseo RTS Chassis using their recoil disk. Basically a big precision ground washer (or circular lug). I'll have to let the guy know about that radius bit, good...

    Gunsmithing Need a chamber and thread job done on my Tikka T3...

    I've got a Bartlein medium palma barrel that needs to be threaded, chambered, cut and crowned and turned down a step at the muzzle for iron sights. My local gunsmiths either a) are allergic to work or b)can't/won't cut metric threads (not really sure it is metric though--probably is). I've...

    POI Shift for FBHP vs BTHP

    I've come across a little problem and I need some insight on this. Realizing that the barrel vibrates in a 3D sine wave when fired it seems possible that the POI shift between two distinctly different loads could be off by a lot laterally and vertically. Is this an accurate assumption...

    Advanced Marksmanship Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Re: Doping the wind via mirage in the scope? I've got a very long sun shade on the scope at this point...I like the construction paper technique though and I will try it. Again, no shortage of awareness of the merits of reading wind in the mirage--just not a lot of experience trying it from...

    Rifle Scopes Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Re: Doping the wind via mirage in the scope? Point taken. I'll just have to find out where I find myself going back to the spotting scope on a long string. I figure I can get north of 10 shots before the barrel mirage gets too bad.

    Advanced Marksmanship Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Re: Doping the wind via mirage in the scope? Oh, believe me I am savvy the spotting scope for doping wind (my calls might leave a little to be desired, but I make 'em). I will have to see about getting out to Coalinga and bring the big gun for a little scope shooting at 600. The ranges here...

    Rifle Scopes Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Re: Doping the wind via mirage in the scope? She's a cutie...gotta get to where I can hear things (this computer is aurally challenged). One point would be how to overcome barrel heat...any suggestions (besides ice or a barrel band)? I see this technique as useful in the cold-shot...

    Advanced Marksmanship Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Re: Doping the wind via mirage in the scope? I hadn't even thought of that...though I had noticed that when shooting. Good point. Truth be told, I am thinking of this in more of an expedient, cold shot mentality. Seems like it should be possible to do reliably for the first few shots. I...

    Advanced Marksmanship Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    Not real sure where to put this one so I'll bandy it about the forums until I get a response. In any case, I've recently come into a very high magnification scope and wonder at the possibility of using it to dope the wind between shots. It is a Bushnell 4.5-30x50mm and is paralax adjustable...

    Rifle Scopes Doping the wind via mirage in the scope?

    I have recently come into a ultra-high magnification scope (Bushnell 4.5-30x50mm) but have yet to get on a range where I might try my hand at scoping the wind. Has anyone tried this? Can it work?

    308 Norma Mag VS 300 WM

    Re: 308 Norma Mag VS 300 WM That's running 'em long, but it still should fit in an AICS magazine. I'm having CDI put on some bottom metal and tuning up 300 WM magazines for 30-06. I suppose I should have them do a set for 308 Norma too...
