    50 BMG primer seating depth

    Having some trouble with my 50 BMG SDs. Dunno if it's the cold weather, or that fact that I now have a 2250 yard target and a GARMIN measuring shots that makes vertical stringing more obvious, or it is a new problem that sneaked in that I'm not aware of yet. So as to not turn this into a giant...

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    Rugged remote Idaho spring bear hunt (flying into the Frank Church), we'll be trying to avoid any unnecessary weight. Trying to decide whether to take a bipod or a tripod, leaning towards the latter. My hunting buddy says re: RRS "no way man! Those things are too damn heavy!" He's looking at the...

    Best price on Steel targets: Make It Ring

    I was buying a lot of steel from a local guy because I figured shipping was probably prohibitively expensive these days, and then I found these guys selling steel on Amazon with free prime shipping and they sell it on their website all with free shipping also. They are cheaper than any other...

    Need expert advice on target size/distance placement

    Hi, guys - I'm in the Southwest and have access to remote public lands where I can set up targets as far as I want. Recently, I have decided to set the targets on terrain that is not accessible to vehicles. So, we have been strapping plates to an old ALICE pack (or an EXO pack) and humping them...

    Best way to sell a suppressor, F3 or F4?

    For 15 years I have been a buyer of NFA stuff, but now I want to sell 2 cans. In Utah. Is it best to first transfer them to a F3 with a dealer? What are the ins and outs of selling a can?

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    I've been using humidity packs in my powder for about 2 years. Was at range the other day, shooting 50 BMG reloads, 2865 fps, SD<10, all good just like usual. Used up that batch, opened a new batch of reloads (marked on the label "RH 49%), velocity fell almost 100 fps average, and the SD was...

    anybody else do this? (case lube and primer pocket cleaning novel ideas)

    First, I got my second die set from WTC (first was 50 BMG, now 375 CT) and this thread is not about the dies per se, but rather about WTC recs to NOT use water soluble lubes (most of them including RCBS) because they can cause rust inside the die. They recommend STP oil additive +/- dilution...

    TBAC new Magnus and 338 Ultra Gen2 release dates?

    I prepaid for a Magnus S RR from MHS, and I'm eyeing a 338 Ultra RR version (I already have a Gen1) pretty hard. ANybody have any information on when they're going to be released? Side note, I'd love a Ti 375 Cheytac can with RR. Looks like the EI Asset is the only option for now....

    Trigger Tech Diamond flat or curved?

    Is there a reason to prefer one or the other besides personal preference? And are most running the single stage?

    Help modernizing my rifle to 6.5 PRC w/DBM please

    Hi, guys - I got the pictured rifle in 2007 from the Remington Custom Shop in 7mm RM. Have been slaying varmints with it with 162s for going on 20 years. But, It is getting long in the tooth (lands eroded about 0.080, I'm chasing them to keep velocity up at 3020ish, but accuracy has fallen off...

    TBAC Ultra 50 in the wild? Range reports?

    I see they're in stock at MHS. Haven't seen anybody talking about them yet. I'm honestly tempted, but I just can't choke down $6000 for a can. Interested to see if anybody has bought/used one yet, tho! Convince me it's worth it!

    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    Deciding on a build. Thoughts: published velocities are 100 fps slower for SAUM, but I'm thinking with 10 grains less capacity than 7mm Rem Mag, that may be an underestimate of the gap in real world, esp seated long You can't fill the SAUM case with enough of any Hodgdon powder (per QL)...

    quickload QL update: web update is a PITA

    Have you guys done the web version of the update yet? I don't recommend it. I did it for speed, cost savings, and because I don't have a CD drive on my current computer. I regretted it. You need instructions for the instructions for the downloadable update. It's a dizzying array of different...

    Quickload 338 Lapua Mag case capacity 108 is wrong?

    Why does QL list 108 grains H20 as CC for 338LM? Over several chambers, my fired brass has 116 on the money. It throws off the calculations for the entire cartridge.

    You send your barrel back because "It won't shoot" - first thing the maker does is.....

    I have only done this once, and not recently. But I've read some reports. List your answer for the first thing the maker (barrel maker or gunsmith does), and explain your interpretation/inferences. I'll go first. First, they clean the shit out of it.... And I infer this to mean that, despite...

    "Stretching" your traditional walnut/corncob tumbling media $$$

    I know, I'm old-fashioned. But I've never seen the need or advantage to tumbling another way. My brass comes out very nice, with just the media and a squirt of Frankfort Arsenal polish I've had for many many years. I've generally been able to get 5-10 years out of a couple of bags of the...
