    A&D Scale Upgrade -Buy or Wait?

    While I didn't do a careful test to see if there is a difference I do believe my SD is better. The SD's have been single digit for a load the rifle likes. While developing a load you'll see SD's that are larger and smaller. I don't understand why this is but it's something I've noticed.

    A&D Scale Upgrade -Buy or Wait?

    A year or two ago I got tired of my electronic scale always drifting and seeming to have hysteresis so I went to using a beam scale. That helped a lot but like you say, the beam scale has it's own sot of cautions. I finally bought a Fx-120i and have been using it for a week. All I can say is...

    Solus bolt issues

    If the trigger is not holding the firing pin back while closing the bolt, wouldn't opening the bolt re-cock the firing pin?

    I'm using a PMA vice with a piece of target wrapped around the barrel for grip and protection. I've read people sometimes use drywall joint tape, (the dry type), to do similar purpose.

    Small rifle primer brass?

    You might need to use a CCI450 for more consistent ignition in the 308 case.

    Factory “match” ammo that is consistent

    I was having trouble with a lot of Hornady match not working well. I pulled the bullet on a "good" one and on a "bad" one. I found that they used as totally different powder in them.

    Trim to mistake

    I would use as is and correct the tool.

    Bad Hornady ammo 300PRC, 1/2 MOA to 6 MOA based on lot number.

    I recently went through a similar exercise with Hornady Match ammo for the 6mm Creedmoor. Not as bad as your seeing but bad enough for me to get upset about it. I pulled the bullet on one cartridge from each lot and the powder was obviously different. If you look at the lot number the first...

    A precision bolt gun from Taurus? the Taurus Expedition

    Try some Federal Gold Metal Match with the 168 gr Sierra Match King and the 175 gr SMK. It should shoot one of those decently.

    Help... First custom bolt gun

    I could be wrong but I was thinking the AW type Mag was for cartridges like the 308 Win.

    I'm thinking the firing pin assembly had to have been removed.

    Advice for trimming solution

    Have you looked at the LEE case trimmers? I use the one that's titled 'case length' and it works amazingly well with a cordless drill.

    Defiance machine anti-X bolt Wear pattern odd?

    If you're talking about the outside of the lug, I wouldn't worry about it.

    New to Me MPA Rifle

    Looks great for a one shot group! Okay, come clean, .... how many shots and at what distance? Great looking rifle, by the way.

    Buy or build ?

    That's about right for a steel barrel. If you would be happy with 1 moa then buy a new factory rifle. I love the Tikka actions too.
