    Your custom barrel/build don't shoot. Next step?

    I once read about an experienced BR shooter who said "If it don't shoot after 100 rounds, I quit wasting my time and get another barrel." I have thought about that a lot over the years as I have tried numerous custom builds and on many occasions spent HUNDREDS of DOLLARS in ammo trying to find...

    I can't open the DT sticky if I'm logged in, anybody else?

    If I log out I can view the thread. If I'm logged in, no way, dead end. I can open and post in other threads eg ELR. Anybody know what's going on?

    N570 load for 375 Cheytac report

    This is finally available so I gave it a shot (literally) while working up a load for 2 different DT 375 factory barrels in the past 2 weeks. Here is my report: 1.) WAY more speed than Retumbo. Like 100 fps more is possible before running into pressure. I started with my Retumbo load 132 grains...

    Peterson Brass Report 375CT Review

    Here's my initial report: 1.) It comes packaged better than any other brass, in an MTM style plastic case 2.) It is the best looking brass in terms of the polish they do to it 3.) The primer pockets are VERY tight, like Lapua tight. Seating a primer requires a good deal of initial force and a...

    Who's your Daddy? LRA bipod and Elite Iron Revolution direct comparison

    I've posted before that while I like the LRA bipod (well built, sturdy and solid, etc.) I'm disappointed that I can only get 6 degrees of upward angle on shots from my DTA HTI and that the leg extensions are backordered and lots of folks can't get a hold of the folks at LRA. On the other hand...

    What's REALLY going on during load development?

    We treat load development as if the reloading process is the only independent variable. What if, as we improve our load, what's really happening is that changes in barrel (breaking in or fouling pick your poison) or bedding or shooting or neck rather than full length sizing that are also...

    If you shoot Nosler 300 RUM Remington Ultra Mag Magnum Brass....

    you better go to the Nosler store NOW. They have 15 more of product number 10230. This is the 50 count box and they sell it for $90. That's a far cry from 6 months ago when you could get it for about $60 from several retailers but.... They have discontinued the 50 count boxes. They are...

    Total kinetic energy = linear kinetic energy + angular kinetic energy

    The energy result produced by ballistics programs omits the angular kinetic energy component from bullet spin - it cannot calculate it without barrel twist as an input. Why is this? It angular/spin energy negligible? ETA: I found that Litz already answered this on LRH...

    Sorry, guys, but we shoot a lot of 300 RUM in Nosler brass....

    So when I wandered online to Brownell's tonight and found it there, I put 10 in the cart and checked out for $75/50 brass. I'm not sure I believe it will be delivered. But it it is, this means that if you look consistently you shall find, and the price is not that bad...

    Gunbot, Wikiarms, Powder Valley, and Midway.....

    If you're not using gunbot and wikiarms for your ammo and component searches, you're missing out. And if you have not dealt with Powder Valley, the same. In the last week I have ordered 500 208 AMAX, 500 350 gr SMKs and 200 Win 7mm Mag brass from them, all in stock and all lower in cost...

    New BIG BOY Atlas Bipod at shot show 50BMG 375CT 408CT

    I saw it and played with it today. Still a prototype. They say 3rd quarter for delivery. I'd say it's the Atlas version of an LRA…. Not bad, but not any better than the LRA except it pans. No price yet. 10.5" height, just under LRA IIRC. Then I went and played with the Elite Iron...

    Did CheyTac ammo almost blow up me and my DTA HTI today?

    Range day with the 375. Tested my initial reloads which will be reported in another thread running under Reloading. Today's testing confirms previous observations that the 350 SMKs from Cheytac shoot very well. The group below on the left is 5 shots with these. The 3 were all touching and I...

    Initial Reloading Notes for .375 Cheytac for DTA HTI

    I have found little specific information for loading this even after cruising the forums for 2 months. I'll post what I've decided to do and execute some loads today with all the background information both as a record for me, and for others who may be working up their own loads. Background...

    Best Temp insensitive substitute for RE-19

    I have a load for my 7mm Rem Mag that shoots lights out. 64 grains RE19 under a 162 AMAX. One hole. Problem is temperature sensitivity. I have a lot of IMR 4350, and Retumbo and smaller amounts of several others that I could test. I don't really wanna mess with something that works, but...

    The Starlight 54" ID long barrel rifle case compared with Pelican 1770, 1750, SKB 50 cal

    I've posted before about gun cases and extra long cases for your long/long range rifle. Here are some summary comments: Starlight: solid case, but my other Starlight, the standard 52" ID case purchased in about 2005, compared to Pelican and Storm, suffered from lack of wheels (an add-on...

    Report on the SKB 50 Caliber case 2SKB-6019

    I saw this advertised in FCSA magazie High Power, and having just gotten rid of my Pelican 1770 for being a bit unwieldy, I got this one from Field Supply. It arrived today in just a cardboard outer box and it was obviously damaged in transit. The ends are bent and don't line up to close on...
