    Beginner loading/21st century hydro press question

    Get the Forster Co-Ax. I am very happy with it. They are widely used. There will be a lot of advice/support from others about using that press. That said 21st Century makes quality stuff.

    Who Still Loads on a Single Stage Press?

    Forster CoAx for rifle, Dillon 650 for pistol. I can't get the level of precision I want for rifle from the 650. It will not meter stick powders for beans. I am sure someone out there has come up with a fancy solution for that but...

    Federal GM .338 Lapua Ammo

    I have experience with the Sako TRG M10. GMM 338 300 SMKs performed pretty well accuracy-wise. (just sub-moa @ 100 yards) I used it to benchmark potential accuracy against reloads. I got better results reloading. Also GMM is not loaded very hot. If you want to stretch it out it is best to roll...

    Anyone know anything about F&D Defense?

    I have been traveling a lot so haven't had a chance to follow up. I tested the upper. It performed better than the original. M118 and Federal 149 grain ball did not show significant pressure. I still blew primers with Federal GMM 7.62. I am willing to concede the GMM 7.62 may be a bad batch. I...

    Anyone know anything about F&D Defense?

    The reason I don't generally trash talk on forums is I almost always have to eat my words. This is no exception. They contacted me today. Pass the salt..... Apparently they are still in business. Their email was down for a week. They asked for my address so they can send a new upper. I will...

    Anyone know anything about F&D Defense?

    Well if I had it to do over again...... I don't generally trash talk on forums but my experience with F&D was bad. Don't buy the F&D. Buy something else. The EuroOptic guys are great. They back up what they sell. Unfortunately the F&D stuff (like many AR10s) is not standard. If something goes...

    Anyone know anything about F&D Defense?

    Yeah, I saw some of the old drama a long time back. I was almost hesitant to post this.

    Anyone know anything about F&D Defense?

    I was talking to them about an ongoing issue with a rifle they built. All of a sudden their emails are bouncing. Anyone know if they have gone out of business?

    Shout out to Mile High

    Had the same experience with extra screws for a Spuhr mount. They mailed them to me no charge. Great customer service.

    Berger 6.5 140 Hybrid verses Sierra 142 Match King in Creedmoor

    I have used them both. I found them to be equally accurate. If I recall correctly the 142s were a tiny bit slower in my barrel with an identical charge.

    Powder funnels

    21st Century. I wanted a long drop tube, especially for .223. Needed to use anti-static wipes to make them work right.

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    For those of us with M10s, I just picked up some barrel and bolt bags https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/barrel-bags-bolt-bags.6384253/page-2#post-7051174 that fit the M10 barrels and bolts perfectly! I recommend his ammo binders as well.

    Federal Gold Medal Large Rifle Magnum 215M primers

    I got a couple thousand last month at Reloading Unlimited. They still have them in stock. Was really surprised to see them. Seems like Federal is finally releasing some to the public again. Who knows, maybe we will see some 210Ms one day soon.

    No Charge - FYE

    This^^^^^^ Many of us have been reloading for years. Even so, one tiny distraction and it is easy to miss one case. I did the same thing ONCE. Ever since then I either visually inspect each case before I seat a bullet OR weigh the cartridge at the end of the process. A dud at the range is...

    Public Service announcement Berger 7MM 195 EOLs in stock at Mile High Shooting

    I have a box of them. Will let you know when my barrel gets finished. I'm a little worried about performance in an 8 twist. Berger got that right. Sierra not so much. BTW, EuroOptic has them now too. It seems like Berger is shipping again.
