    Is Primer (and other components) Cost/Supply Keeping Folks from Competing?

    It would not surprise me if we get reduced participation due to the high cost of competing. Unless you are sponsored well, this game is getting really expensive. I'm really reducing my matches as a result. Thoughts?

    Competing Less Due to Cost/Availability of Reloading Components?

    I have not been that motivated to compete this year due to cost of reloading components. I have found other things to fill my "hobby time" that don't break the bank. I will wait for things to calm down and then slowly return. Anyone else in the same boat?

    Storing a Precision Rifle Sitting on a Bipod Okay?

    Is there any harm in storing a rifle in firing position/sitting on a bipod per the photo below of my .223 fun rifle? The only issue I can think of is fatigue on the action screws as the barrel is cantilevered.

    If Your Seating Die is Leaving Rings on Your Bullets...

    Building New Barrel Around 6.5 x 47 Lapua with 130 Berger VLD - What is Good for OAL?

    My plan is to have the 'smith chamber the barrel to put the 130 grain VLD on the lands out of the box then I can back it off a little. Any suggestions for a good OAL to start with for the dummy round? My first thought is an even 2.800" OAL. That puts the end of the bullet just past the neck...
