    BEST RIFLE MANUFACTURER FOR F-CLASS COMPETITIONS.

    Re: BEST RIFLE MANUFACTURER FOR F-CLASS COMPETITIONS. Thanks for the education, since I'm new to this. I guess I'll be shooting a 308 (although I'd like to shoot my 338 Lapua Magnum Sig Sauer Blaser Tactical 2--yet some ranges don't allow much more than a 308, so I have a great 308 made by...

    BEST RIFLE MANUFACTURER FOR F-CLASS COMPETITIONS.

    Hello everyone! I had a question about which manufacturer produces the best BOLT-ACTION rifle for the NRA F-Class competitions. I shoot 308 Winchester now, but if there's a better round I should be using, I'm certainly open to everyone's expertise on ammo selection as well. I was thinking of a...

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    Re: BOLT FACE QUESTION Thanks, will do on the FL resize and shoulder bump. Does that negate the need for neck turning?

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    Re: BOLT FACE QUESTION Should I be neck sizing on my 338 Lapua Magnum and my 308 win eventhough I'm using Lapua brass? If so, should I stay with the rule that about 75-85% of the neck should be faced--or should I make it uniform all around? This is where I need help too!! ---Doc.

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    Re: BOLT FACE QUESTION Also, I forgot, my claw extractor was designed for my 308 by McMillian bros. and FNH so it has a blade extractor.

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    Re: BOLT FACE QUESTION Thank you! I'm so greatful for your response! You guys know so much about this stuff and I am so greatful for your input. I will do as you said and trim the spring. I'm shooting a 338 lapua magnum (not at huge loads and high pressures) so I'm wondering if it would...

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    I have a 'claw extractor' type of casing ejector and this is a very accurate rifle (in 308) even out to 1,000 yards. I also have a Sig Sauer Tactical 2 Blaser in 338 Lapua. Now this rifle has a spring loaded 'button' on the bolt face that puts pressure on the cartridge (even when it's...

    416 Barrett Reloading

    Re: 416 Barrett Reloading Thanks for the info on where to get quality equipment. I have never heard of that brand before. It sure us heavy-duty enough to handle the 416/50cal. without any trouble. I usually buy the "once fired" brass from Barrett (cheaper than the new stuff) and then do a...

    416 Barrett Reloading

    Re: 416 Barrett Reloading That is an awesome piece of equipment! Very, very cool. Maybe I didn't look close enough--but who manufactured that and do they make all the dies and equipment for my 416 Barrett? That is a heavy duty, and looks like a very high quality die set and ram. You do...

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes

    Re: March Scopes Thank you, I didn't even consider the exit pupil size and the fact that your field of view is greatly reduced as the magnification goes up. Thanks for your help. One last question for you if you don't mind, if I did get a March scope for prone, bipod shooting--which model...

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes

    I recently Saw a "March" scope with a second focal plane that is a tactical version and the magnification range is 8 to 80! I've never seen a scope go up to 80X mag. I have a Schmidt Bender (first focal plane) that goes up to 50X mag, and even with their superior optics, it's hard to adjust...

    416 Barrett Reloading

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I'm excited to be in contact with so many experts. Everyone just calls me "Doc" (I'm a physician as my day job!). I was wondering what equipment people are using for equipment (since I can't find a set that does just neck sizing) and any reloading...
