    Shipping reloading supplies and firearms Q

    Hey everybody, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving: So my question pertains to recent negotiations between myself and a fellow hide member about a firearm I have for sale on the site. As part of the deal I offered to throw in the brass and Nosler RDFs I have left. I know you can't ship live...

    Shooting my first comp

    So, yesterday was the match. This was just a club match at a range about 2 hrs from my house, but it was in the style of a PRS affiliated event.Lots of positional shooting, and targets from 140 yards out to 925 yards. There was definitely a learning curve at the beginning as far as knowing what...

    Drill/Electric Case Trimmer Qs

    My buddy rigged something up on a small electric motor and his tri-way is mounted in it. Essentially built his own power trim. The engine is wired up to a switch and it even has a speed control knob that has a digital screen. Im not the handiest when it comes to things like that so I wouldn't be...

    Drill/Electric Case Trimmer Qs

    Thanks for the info. I wish he made the Tri-way for the 6.5 creedmoor. My friend has the one for the 308 family that he uses to trim 260, and he has nothing but good things to say about it.

    Drill/Electric Case Trimmer Qs

    That sounds pretty cool. So I could trim 223 and 6.5 creedmoor with the same trimmer as long as I had the right holders?

    Drill/Electric Case Trimmer Qs

    So, I've been using a Lyman Universal Case Trimmer to trim my brass and Im thinking about an upgrade. The Lyman is an older trimmer bought back in the 80s when my pops first started reloading. Im not sure if its due to age, or just characteristics of the product, but when Im trimming I notice...

    Primer pocket uniforming Q

    Most of the time just small amounts. Sometimes ill get a piece of brass that looks like some serious cutting took place, but mostly its just the junk left in there from firing. My load is only a grain over the suggested max. Shooting Hornady 6.5 creed brass.

    Primer pocket uniforming Q

    So I gather that maybe my tendency to be OCD about the primer pocket is a little overkill, but at the same time I shouldn't be hurting anything.

    Shooter App Qs

    I haven't. The only thing I got to go off of in that department is when I was sighting it in. If my first shot measured .6 mils to the right and 1 mil high from my point of aim, I was zeroed after making those adjustments. I can understand that not being enough to go off of, but I haven't done...

    Primer pocket uniforming Q

    Does uniforming the primer pocket between each firing reduce the life of the brass? Ive been doing it that way. Just kind of wondering if thats necessary, or over kill. Common sense tells me the obvious answer would be yes because the more times you remove material/work the primer pocket would...

    Shooter App Qs

    It definitely does. I appreciate it. So, maybe I should revert back to my old MV and true data outputs by tweaking the bc. From what I gather, efforts in that department would be kind of futile without having solid data in the environmental categories. I live in a relatively flat area so I don't...

    Shooter App Qs

    Some irregularities I've noticed occur past 500 yards. Like, from about 500 to 700 yards I see an over estimation in elevation. For example at 675 shooter tells me 4.2 mils when the shot only took me 3.8 to get there. That changes from about 700 and beyond. Elevation from shooter at 845 yards is...

    Shooter App Qs

    So im using Shooter as my ballistics calculator. I was just wondering what type of accuracy is deemed good out of these apps. Is within a few 10ths of a mil as good as it gets, or is there more to be desired?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Anybody out there with experience using AICS, Accurate, or any other type of aftermarket mag for the RPR? I got some of the new pmag AICS knockoffs and there is quite a bit of play in them left to right when inserted in the mag well. Anything out there fit a little better? Every now and again I...
