    Dont Buy A Christensen Arms!!!

    I didn't read anywhere here where he said it was fixed. All I see is that he disappeared for a year, reappeared now, and explained that he was 18 last year and is much wiser now and has a custom rifle that shoots good.

    Dont Buy A Christensen Arms!!!

    So, you are 19 now and much wiser? What ever came of the CA rifle that you blasted on here a year ago? Did you ever return it to have it fixed?

    High resolution/accurate scale

    A&d 120I without a doubt. As stated, can be had for $500 or less if you shop around, and it'll be plug n play ready for your autotrickler when you're ready to buy. It's accurate to pretty much a single kernel, btw - didn't get much better than that.

    Reloading 6.5 prc, powder?

    Magnum barrels tend to speed up rather suddenly after about 100 rounds. That's why I just bought 200 rounds of hornady match ammo. Gonna fire the first 100, pretty much at dirt or rabbits or something and save the brass for reloading. Then find zero for the match ammo as well as velocity and get...

    Lee Turret Newb Setup

    I neck size only until it's hard to lock the bolt into battery, then I FL size. Definitely no crimp needed. I don't even use one for the ammo I load for my AR. your powder thrower will be perfect for pistol after you decide to 'upgrade'.

    Lee Turret Newb Setup

    Agree with Steel. I just had Lee collet dies custom made for my 6.5PRC and 28 Nosler. They come with Lee bullet seater dies by default. For giggles, I loaded a few rounds with that seater and tested runout. Best was .004, worst almost .008. In the precision reloading world that's JUNK. Went back...

    Reloading 6.5 prc, powder?

    H1000 is not the go-to powders for the PRC and heavy projectiles, from my research(having a PRC built so I've been reading up). I tried it in my 7saum and had similar results to you(scatter group .1 over and under an ideal charge/group). You need to look into Retumbo or your RL26 for the 147s...

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    It does say " Items will start shipping in a few weeks. Please be patient as we work to fill orders in the order they are received" on the website, and I got the email about the V3 on May 24. So I would say not to get antsy until about June 15th.

    Recommended: Wilson chamber dies / K&M arbor press

    Cheapest way to get the most consistent bullet tension is with a Lee collet die. to do it with a bushing die usually requires neck turning.

    Why the 6.5 CM hate ?

    No hate for it, but it definitely seems to have a 'fanboy' following - but why not? Proven results, sub-$30 match ammo and reloading components are *usually* readily available. I just never felt like my 260 couldn't do everything it could do, but I reload almost exclusively, so didn't really...

    Autotrickler V3

    I just received the V2 setup, like 2 days before he announced this. I was a little miffed at first, but really all I want is the BT connectivity. so $60 for an electronics upgrade is well worth it! the whole, hand trickle your desired load to program it each time is my only complaint with V2 so far.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I went to the shop where I ordered the silencer and he said it could take up to 60 days to see the check get cashed. So I have a little over 3 weeks to wait, after which I guess it's time to make calls...

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    Man, I just received his V2 unit, literally 3 days ago. I thought I was happy. But bluetooth control/connectivity!!!! I had to have it. IMO it will probably be the best $60 I ever spend...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I agree that the CS is great, but not ever needing it would be the much preferred option. There is a string of videos on YT where a guy was having FTF issues on his 300wm Havak. He sent it back, got it back after 4-6 weeks with a list of a bunch of replaced parts. Shot it, more FTFs. Sent it...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    New Oregon address I'm sure. My dealer is the one that mailed it out, but he is fully aware that they are in Oregon now.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    How long is it typically taking for them to just cash the check? Submitted my individual form 4 on 4/18/19.

    Reloading Scales: What is an accurate, electronic scale?

    .02 grains of sensitivity is WAY more than any extruded powder reloader will EVER need. One way to make the A&D more accurate/precise is to throw charges in grams, as it goes out to .001g in resolution. I just picked up the A&D and was prepaired to hand-throw/hand-trickle charges, until I saw...
