    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    Yes, the step added was to run the necks over the mandrel and after the bushing die. I’ve done quite a bit of different load development since then so I don’t remember what the SD change was, but I do remember that particular rifle went from an HONEST 1/2 MOA rifle to a 1/3 MOA @ 300yds.

    Gunsmithing Red Loctite for base screws?

I understand that a SAAMI 243 runs a tapered freebore but obviously he could run a conventional non-tapered. Has anyone done a similar build that...

    What do you look for in a rifle chassis

    I’d say it depends what you’re using it for. I’ve used an XLR Evo and currently went to the Envy chassis. I like the versatility of the Envy, multiple QD ports, level, Arca Swiss rail built in for tripod setup. XLR is finally offering more and more accessories that are decently priced like the...
