    77 SMK with H335

    Re: 77 SMK with H335 What were your results? I've found H335 powder seems to burn too fast for me to get fast loads with the 77SMK. My most accurate load is 22.4 grains. Any more and The groups start to open up. Parker

    Dillon XL650 Vs Hornady LnL Vs RCBS 2000

    Re: Dillon XL650 Vs Hornady LnL Vs RCBS 2000 LNL is hobby grade. It feels cheap, sloppy, and poorly designed. Dillon is commercial grade. It feels sturdy, solid, and well-made. You pay to play. Parker

    Dillon XL650 Vs Hornady LnL Vs RCBS 2000

    Re: Dillon XL650 Vs Hornady LnL Vs RCBS 2000 Yes, the LNL still sucks. Primer seating is unbelievably bad. I just wasted 3 weeks and several hundred dollars figuring that out, only to finally end up with a Dillon 650. Parker

    Suggestions for .223 bolt gun

    Re: Suggestions for .223 bolt gun The premium paid for a tikka out of the box is definitely worth it. You will have a great shooting gun out of the box, and it is just as customizable as a rem 700 SA if you get the itch to upgrade. 6 months and a couple thousand dollars later, I'm very...

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread What's the need for the trigger fix? I have a gen 1 DTA that has virtually no slack... ...was this just a 'problem' with early guns or? Parker

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Kinda small but it's 5 shots at 100 in 308 registering .355 MOA. Started reloading two weeks ago. Here's some of the first loads for the DTA with R15 and 175 SMKs. Parker

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? I hacked up the primer pocket assembly some more with a file and things improved. I also called tech support, who immediately said they'd send out another primer seating assembly. We'll see if that fixes the issue. As tempting as it is to get...

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? Headed thie direction of a dillon. Going to see a dillon in action this week and make a decision. In the mean time I'm still on the hunt for a fix for the LNL. Gonna call tech support mon. Parker

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? I'm willing to modify the press if necessary. I mean this is a semi-major issue if I plan on loading progressively. Should I sell it and get another kind of progressive press? Or can this be modified/solved? Parker

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? Found part of the problem. Left pawl was slightly out of adjustment (yes, from the factory). Fixed that, and I can at least now 'feel' the primer seating--but it seems stupidly difficult, given the amount of leverage the handle should give...

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? Cleaning pockets didn't fix the issue. Picked up a RCBS hand primer, which works great. ...but what's the point of spending the cash on a progressive press if you can't load progressively? Anyone know of fixes for the LNL for this primer...

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? From some quick google searching it appears this is a known issue with LNL presses....lovely... Guess I'll start 'modding' my brand new press and see if that fixes the issue. Apparently out of the box some don't seat deep enough and require...

    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    I searched 'primer' and didn't see anything related to this. I just started reloading and am using a Hornady LNL progressive press (but am only loading 'single stage' style at the moment since I'm new). I'm putting CCI primers in once fired Winchester 308 brass. Resizing and taking out the...

    XLR Chassis Stock

    Re: XLR Chassis Stock Karl @ Kampfeld Custom did the flutes. Love the XLR...it just feels so natural and well built. Magazine release system is the best I've ever seen on a rifle.

    Best .308 for running suppressed?

    Re: Best .308 for running suppressed? Another vote for GAP. They can put a Noveski switchblock or PRI adjustable block. I bought a used GAP-10 and put the PRI on myself (be sure to get 'gen 2' which offers more adjustment and ability to turn down the gas) and it works great! Very simple to...
