    Bent expander unit on RCBS FL die, will running it untightened mess things up?

    Bought a used RCBS full length die set, it has apparently been dropped during the shipment and the result can be seen here: This is really weird, I thought the storage box was supposed to keep the dies in place but if it is shaken around they will fall out of the slots. Anyway, a replacement...

    List of plastic tip lengths for different bullets?

    Is there a list of different bullet plastic tip lengths somewhere? I can find total length of every type but it seems the plastic tip length is usually left out by manufacturers. I need it to correctly calculate theoretical stability of various hunting bullets in a 1 in 10 twist rate.

    Rifle Scopes Low budget hunting scope, which would you choose in this price range?

    Just picked up a lightly used Howa Hogue 1500 stainless in .243 Win for dirt cheap, and need a scope to go with it. It will be used for hunting whitetail deer and foxes, plus the occational plinking day at the range. I live in Norway so the pricing I mention will probably be higher than what you...

    Rifle Scopes Reflex secondary sight on AR15 for IPSC, which dot size?

    Which dot size would you recommend for a secondary sight on an AR-15? 3 moa or 6moa? It is going on my IPSC match rifle mounted on the forearm at 45 degrees, and will only be used at very close range because of lower height over bore and through tight/low openings.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR, Cronus gen 1, Burris XTR II or Vortex PST2? Please help me decide

    They are all in the same price range over here (the Cronus gen 1 is on sale), and intended use is long range and PRS so I want a christmas tree reticle. The Burris is limited to the 4-20 model to get the Horus H59 reticle, but it seems like the sturdiest scope from I have read. The Athlon Cronus...

    Carbon fibre cleaning rod, is .22-.26 too thin to use on .30?

    Carbon fiber cleaning rods seem very nice but come at a hefty price over here, about 2x of what you guys are paying. So I am wondering if a rod made for .22-.26 will be strong enough to use on .30, or are they too brittle/soft? Have no idea how strong a CF rod is, just know that "standard"...

    Forster 3 in 1 cutter head on Lyman Universal case trimmer

    This is for those of you with Lyman Universal case trimmers that are sick of chamfering and deburring after trimming your cases. There is no cutter that does it all in one step for the Lyman, the RCBS 3-way which has different threads and the Forster 3 in 1 that fits thinner shafts than the...

    RCBS Chargemaster Lite vs Hornady Auto Charge?

    Has anyone used both? Which one would you recommend? The Hornady is getting mixed reviews on the net mostly related to often overthrowing charges, I asked my Hornady distributor about it and was told the issue was using wrong/factory settings. Any input on this? The RCBS Chargemaster Lite costs...

    .308w Nosler Custom Competition 190gr experience?

    Have found a good deal on this bullet by purchasing 1000 so would like to know if someone has experience with it in .308w, especially at longer ranges. It will be used in a 24 inch barrel with 1:11 twist. From what I have found it should work well with this twist rate, but am a bit worried it...

    Gunsmithing Tikka T3 rail slot headed screws stuck, how to get them out without stripping?

    Tried to remove the slot head screws on the picatinny rail with a screwdriver and ratchet with bit, but they just slip out of the slot because the screws are really stuck. What is the deal, glue? And how can I get them out safely?

    Rifle Scopes Scope mount with built in 20 moa cant, what are my options?

    Maybe I'm using the wrong search phrases, but I can't find much info about this. Need to get higher rings after mounting my new MDT ESS folding chassis, so figured I might aswell get a one piece mount with built in 20 moa cant as I would probably get a new rail anyway down the line. I know about...

    Bushnell Tactical Excursion FFP optical issue

    Hi all, old forum lurker returning after a few years away because of family time and work. Lately I have been looking into long range shooting again as I have been given the opportunity of shooting on a farmer's patch of land. So I am dusting off my gear that has been idle, and noticed an issue...

    Kydex belt holster for PMAGs?

    I need to buy a couple of kydex belt holsters that will fit PMAGs, but so far I have only found them for the steel Colt type magazine. So, who makes them for PMAGs?

    Upper receiver, Daniel Defense or Bushmaster?

    Out of these two upper receivers, which would you choose? Daniel Defense A4 or Bushmaster V-match? Or is there any difference? Availability of AR 15 parts is slim over here, so this is basically what I have to choose from. The DD costs 25% less, don't know if that could mean lesser quality or...

    Gunsmithing .338 Lapua Mag muzzle brake effective on .308w?

    How well will this work? I'm in the process of ordering a Sako brake for my TRG-42 in 338LM and am curious if it will be equally effective on my T3 Tac in 308w aswell so I can just switch between the rifles, instead of ordering one more in 308w for the T3 Tac. Also, is there even a difference...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII on a .338LM rifle?

    Anyone using the Sightron SIII scope on a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle? Wondering if it can take the recoil, and how happy you are with it for long range use? Have a Sako TRG-42 with no optics yet, and with the economy being the way it is I'm not gonna cough up for a S&B right now. Thinking of...
