    PVA Black Friday Barrel Lead Time

    Thanks. After reading all the threads regarding PVA I decided the risk was too high. I'm leaning toward one of the LRI barreled actions with the ARC Mausingfield action. Sounds like LRI turns things around in good time, and I've never seen a bad review of them anywhere.

    PVA Black Friday Barrel Lead Time

    I'm thinking of picking up an action and barrel to drop in a chassis I have. Sounds like PVA does a really good job with barrels, but i'm not sure about sending them the parts based on some of the delivery times that seem to get missed. Anybody have experiance with suppling parts and getting...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Anyone have a recent order/delivery of a Mausingfield? The Web site says 2-4 months, just wondering if that is close to actual shipping times. Kind of want to get all the bits close to the same time.

    GAMER CHANGER TESLONG BORE SCOPE!!! -- FINALLY A QUALITY REASONABLY PRICED BORE SCOPE!

    Mine came this afternoon. Got it working on a win 10 laptop in a few minutes and scoped my 65CM. Seems to work really well. I don't have time to write a really long review, I need to go order a gallon of everything Bore Tech makes, a case of brushes and a couple of boxes of patches.

    Hearing Protection. Need advice

    Defenders fitted plugs with amplifiers. They attenuate the shots really well, and the amplifiers allow for normal conversation. I have a hearing loss and they aren't as loud as I would like, but if you have normal hearing they should work great

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

    Anybody who ordered just the BT module, how long from order to receipt? I ordered on 7/1, so I'm not looking for it until at least 7/21 or later, but I'm wondering if that's in the ballpark. Thanks Edit Just got the shipping info, so the 21st will be pretty close to the delivery date. Trying...

    Updating firmware on Kestrel 5700

    I haven't been able to find an answer for this. Does the 5700 with Link (not Elite ) need either the cable or dongle to update firmware? Or can it be updated thru a computer with Bluetooth, or a phone? I'm seriously considering ordering one, and will order the dongle if it is needed...

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

    It has to do with the sales tax laws in CA. Apparently they are so budensome that CE declines to ship there. I think 419 can help you, but i'm not sure. I got my set from CE with no problem, but I live in the somewhat free state of Georgia.

    6.5 creedmoor prs Powder dropper?

    I used the Lee Auto Disk for pistols for years. Very accurate and consistant with ball powders, but I never used it with varget

    What's a good consistent scale for measuring powder?

    Consider that you can buy the auto trickler a piece at a time. Use the Lee scoops to get close to your desired charge, and you can use just the auto trickler to finish off. If you already have a 120i, you just need the trickler and blue tooth module. If you want to go all out with autothrow...

    What's a good consistent scale for measuring powder?

    I was thinking about the chargemaster, but after doing a few searches here and other forums, it appears that some are good, others not so much. If you can swing it, give serious thought to the A&D 120i. It will serve you well, and when you start to lust after the auto trickler, and you...

    At what point is cratering an issue?

    My B14 Bergara cratered everything. When I started using Lapua SRP with Fed 205M, it started piercing primers. I swapped into a bolt from the Premier series, which has a small fp. No cratering or piercing. Having the bolt bushed is slightly cheaper, but takes longer. Replacing the bolt took...

    Case Rupture

    Please excuse what may be a stupid question, but if the bolt was engaged and didn't move back, what caused the bolt release to take a flyer? If the bolt lugs were engaged, what force acted on the release? Am I seeing some distortion on the action at the top of the release cutout? I'm fairly...
