    lapua brass .308 and .338

    Re: lapua brass .308 and .338 Good brass but they sure package it poorly. Every time I've ordered 338 brass, at $2.50 a piece, it shows up with dented necks! You'd think that, when I'm paying nearly twice what match grade 308 ammo costs, the could package it in a way that doesn't require you...

    Brand new Lapua brass looks like this???

    Re: Brand new Lapua brass looks like this??? The brand new 338 brass I've bought new has had dented necks. I've had to run them through a neck sizer or Sinclair mandrel to straighten them out, but by no stretch of the imagination is any new 338 Lapua brass that I've received been ready to...

    Black Ops Precision Jaeger (338 LM)

    Re: Black Ops Precision Jaeger (338 LM) The delivery time got long, I can definitely sympathize there! However, the end product was worth it and after shooting this rifle I have forgotten all about how long it took.

    Gunsmithing Wheelgun smiths?

    Re: Wheelgun smiths? The MKIII (basically the same gun as a MKV, King Cobra, and Anaconda) has sintered parts that cannot be worked without breaking through the hardened outside edge. Basically, if it's out of time, you start replacing parts until it works again. On the older style actions...

    Black Ops Precision Jaeger (338 LM)

    I just recently took delivery of my Black Ops Precision Jaeger in 338 Lapua Mag. I haven't seen a lot of pictures of the Black Ops rifles online so I thought I'd share a couple images; so far the rifle has been stellar. Fit/finish is better than anything else I've come across and it is shooting...

    Re: SAKO TRG 22/42 action truing? Mark, Thank you for posting the videos! Are you going to attempt to true this or leave it as-is? How do those numbers (.0025 action face, .004 action threads) compare to most 700's out of the box?

    TRG 22 vs 42 regrets?

    Re: TRG 22 vs 42 regrets? Can anyone comment on ejection with a TRG22? I've heard conflicting reports about if it's an issue or not and would be interested to hear from a couple of those who actually use them.
