    Expander mandrel use with a Redding type S die

    Not neck turned. I’m not set up for that, and honestly didn’t really want to turn necks. I want accurate, but not with that much effort.

    Expander mandrel use with a Redding type S die

    I’ve slowly switched all my FL dies to Redding Type S dies. The goal was to reduce overworking brass and set neck tension to roughly .001 to .002. I’ve been doing this with my 6.5 for a while now, but just started working on a new .338 win mag and setting it up for reloading. I bought a Type S...

    .338 win mag not liking 230 gr eld-x

    Well, picked up a barreled action Tikka in .338 wm, put it in a t3x stock, added some aftermarket parts, got it braked, and finally to the load development stage. I’ve been having great luck with 143 ELD-x in some other guns, so decided to try the 230 gr eld-x for the .338. Thus far I’ve tried...

    Reloading Equipment WTT/WTB .338 bullets

    Awesome! Thanks. If anyone reading this has had good luck with 230 gr eld-x in a .338 Winny, let me know. I picked up some IMR 4350 to test, but that may be a futile effort since H4350 was a bust. Good speed and ES with H4350 at the 71 gr node, but bad groups. I read a lot of guys using IMR4350...

    Reloading Equipment WTT/WTB .338 bullets

    Trying to dial in a new project. It’s a Tikka .338 win mag and decided to try the 230 grain ELD-X. So far I found a node at 71 gr. of H4350 moving 2850 FPS, but after group testing at various seating depths, that didn’t yield great results. Tried RL19 at 74 grains and it may show some promise. I...

    10 round ladder test, Load close to lands?

    Since this is a hunting gun, I won’t load to the lands, but I would have no issues loading to .02” to start and do a seating depth test from there, but to start I’d like to get a node to base my charges off of. Pressure will be a bit higher at .02” compared to Mag length, which is over .1”. If...

    10 round ladder test, Load close to lands?

    Ok, I’ll do the 10 round charge test at mag length and find a node, then I’ll test seating depth and groups. I’m going to try the 230 grain ELD-X with 69.5 to 71.5 grains of H4350 for the initial test.

    10 round ladder test, Load close to lands?

    I had great luck with the last 10 round ladder test I did with a 6.5, so now I’m going to try it with a new .338 wm I just picked up for hunting. So can I load to the mag length and still get results with a 10 round test, or should I load .02” off the lands and single feed? It’s a pretty big...

    Tikka DBM atlasworx vs Mtn Tactical

    I’m not sure if I need a new DBM on my Tikka, but wanted to see if there was any reason to go with the Mtn Tactical version over the Atlasworx. I picked up a T3 in .338 wm, and a 300 wm barrel for it as well. Haven’t decided which one I’m keeping. Getting a brake installed on the .338 next week...

    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    So I assume it will work with a top release on a model 12? Might have to give it a try. My accutrigger is decent now set at 1 lbs 12 oz. but I can hear the springs creeping when I apply pressure on the trigger. Wondering if this will make it a little crisper. I tried the Timney but didn’t feel...

    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    Has anybody tried these yet???? I don’t hate the accutrigger, but it’s not my favorite either. Wondering if this is a better mousetrap. Thanks!

    Hey guys, I live in a pretty small community in eastern Oregon, but there’s a good number of shooters in the area. About once every few months we hold a “long range” competition. Pretty informal $20 buy in and cash divided for top three spots. The range has a variety of plates from 200-1100...

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    Just bought a Sterk. It’s on the way. That still doesn’t completely solve my issue. Remember I found out last night it’s the cocking ramp grinding against the cocking indicator lip. See pic. I can either polish and remove some metal, leave it and use some lube and keep working the action, or...
