    Southwest PRS 2017 Club Finale October 7, 2017

    I am in the same boat.... Would love to attend but have never done a PRS event before....or any event for that matter. Have a custom tactical Rem 700 in 300 win mag that I would like to shoot....bolt of course. Is that allowed? How many rounds should I bring 10rds, 100rds, 1000rds? What about...

    Help with sizing

    Thanks thats good intel. I would not have thoucht that .001" above the belt (web???) would make such a huge difference in ability to chamber. I have some unfired brand new norma brass in the garage somewhere. Ill dig that out and see how it chambers.

    Thank you for this! I have done what you described once before and it works quite well. I am going to give Supersubes method a try first when I get a chance and see how it goes! Now that I know what to look for with the ejector in I think I will be more successful!

    Help with sizing

    Yes I am using a gauge to measure the shoulder bump. I have screwed the FL die in so that I get solid pressure and a stiff cam over, I would risk breaking something if I went for more pressure by turning it another 1/8 of a turn. So I am pretty sure that is not the problem. Using the shoulder...

    Help with sizing

    So I bought some once fired Norma brass for my 300 wm from a member here on the hide. I have full length sized it and it does not chamber (it chambers but barely and only after some force is applied to the bolt handle...certainly not ideal). I got out my calipers and checked it for SAAMI spec...

    Gunsmithing extractor help

    Yes I am reloading or 300wm as well as a few others. I have removed the firing pin and spring assembly from the bolt and still cant get the smooth feel of the bolt knob smoothly falling when I close it like in the video. I believe this is due to the ejector spring tension? I have been trying to...

    I understand that you can thrust it forward and feel the headspace but wouldnt you need the ejector spring to be taken up so that the bolt will freely close like in the video? Still a bit confused.

    wind has more effect at your location vs. down range

    I have done some studying up and spoke to some top areo guys in my field of specialty (I race sailboats for a living...olympics, americas cup and such...spoke with one of the British areospace guys who designs for us) and I was wrong. As I further understand it now....when a force, such as...

    Sorry yes....you are very correct. Got my "E"s muddelled up. If you keep the ejector in the bolt...then wouldnt you need to take up the spring tension in the ejector to allow the bolt to properly close and feel where the head space is?

    Scott Parker Beam Scale or high end digital balance

    Well most of my reloading set up came from my uncle who taught me to buy the best and buy it once....I am still using his Hollywood reloading press from the 50s....I love this thing way better than a rock chucker or other modern equivalent. THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT being said.....I also sent my Redding...

    Gunsmithing extractor help

    SO I have been trying to find a few things on my Rem 700 Long action in 300 win mag....such as the length to the lands and also how far I should be bumping the shoulder back. I came across this: Originally posted by Sheldon N View Post Since this was the first firing some of the cases may...

    Scott Parker Beam Scale or high end digital balance

    I am trying to decide on which ONE to get. Believe me I want both, the wife wants me to choose just one....so we agreed to compromise......and I have to choose just one!

    Scott Parker Beam Scale or high end digital balance

    Looking into sending my Redding beam scale off to Scott Parker or just shelling out $600 for a FX 120i or a Sartorius BP310S. I am doing long range reloading as most of you are and I am trying to eliminate as many variables as possible. I am quickly spiraling down the rabbit hole that this...
