    new gun, bad barrel.....

    Re: new gun, bad barrel..... Are you sure it's rust? I have a Savage HS Precision and it's a fantastic rifle. It's only downside is the barrels copper foul like a motherf#@*#r. When you shine a light down there, it may give the appearance of rust, but it's actually copper. Try Wipe Out/Patch...

    Dented brass after being shot

    Re: Dented brass after being shot That makes sense. Wonder why Black Hills looks in worse shape than the others? I don't know much about fire forming. Could that have something to do with it? Thanks for the input. I like the idea of putting the soft side of the velcro on the deflector.

    Dented brass after being shot

    I shot these out of my AR-10 two days ago and noticed that they were dented just below the shoulder in exactly the same spot. The first ones with the larger dents are Black Hills 168gr match. The ones with the smaller dents are 168gr BVAC. The third picture is a scratch on the head from what I'm...

    Photos Noveske N6 AR10 build up

    Re: Noveske N6 AR10 build up Very nice! Did you order directly from Noveske? I've got an Armalite AR-10 lower I'm waiting on enough funds to do something similar. Where did you find the LMT Buttstock for an AR-10?

    Gun Case 4 Flying?

    Re: Gun Case 4 Flying? I have a Pelican 1750 that I carry both an Armalite SASS and Savage 10 both with scopes. It's a tight fit but it works. I could fit a pistol in there if I had to. I've flown twice with it and love it. I've watched the baggage guys drop it and I've even dropped it myself...

    Rifle Scopes Basics of ring bases

    Re: Basics of ring bases I'm not that good of a shooter yet so I can't talk about what kind of cant you want on the base to reach those ranges. But your rifle will definitely do the job.

    Seating repeatability issue

    Re: Seating repeatability issue Speaking of not touching the meplat, after seating the bullet, there's a ring around the nose. What's going on there?

    Rifle Scopes Basics of ring bases

    Re: Basics of ring bases The 20 MOA base means it's canted down 20 MOA so the scope is already pointed down a bit. This give you extra elevation when you want to reach further out and maximize the elevation adjustments on your scope. What are you putting the scope on? I ask because if the...

    Seating repeatability issue

    Re: Seating repeatability issue Sorry for the confusion. I was clarifying someone else's comments calling into question the accuracy of the caliper. The caliper is reading consistant after several re-measurments. I'm not crimping and not sure about neck tension. How would I measure that...

    Seating repeatability issue

    Re: Seating repeatability issue Thanks all! To answer Mitch, I screw in the die on an existing round until I feel it contact. Then I screw in the seater until I feel contact, and then back off just a bit. I then seat a bullet and measure the length. I'll repeat this last process until I get...

    Seating repeatability issue

    Re: Seating repeatability issue Regardless of whether I measure off the lands or off the COAL, if the die is creeping, doesn't that present a problem in both cases? I measured the bullets I've seated, and the caliper is consistent. The ones that were at 2.800 are still 2.800. Those that were...

    Seating repeatability issue

    Re: Seating repeatability issue Yes, I'm familiar with measuring off the ogive and where it seats into the lands of the barrel. But I don't have the necessary tools to do that yet unless there's another technique I don't know about yet that I can accomplish with what I already have. I know...

    Seating repeatability issue

    I'm new to reloading and am reloading 308 in a Lee Press. I'm having issues with the OAL being consistent. I'll take an empty round and seat it in small increments to get the OAL that I want (2.800 to be specific). I leave it alone and then measure my OAL on every load after that and they're...

    Rifle Scopes ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS

    Re: ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS I have a Savage 10FCP with a Falcon and enjoy the setup. But The one thing I've found is the magnification knob is large and the retaining screw will bump up against the ring base if the rings are too low. Also, I'm in bad need of a cheek riser because of how...

    Rainer arms

    Re: Rainer arms I haven't bought anything from them yet, but have spoken with them on numerous occasions and they have always been willing to answer my questions. They seem realy friendly and will be spending money there, and they're just down the road from me.
