I use the RCBS brushes on all of my rifle cases. I find if I tilt the case ever so slightly I can get most of the residue out. I also have the Lyman reamer and cleaner. The Lyman pocket cleaner looks like a flat tip screwdriver but has a slight radius at both corners. I use the reamer on...

Try holding the tap with something like pliers not on the threads and bump the trigger in reverse. I have problems with driver bits sticking in a Dewalt impact driver at work often and this trick works. Most times I can hold the bit with my hand, but I wouldn't advise it with a tap. Maybe if it...

Enter Me In The Huskemaw Scope Contest

I can't remember the charge weight, but I used Trail Boss and an 85 gr Sierra for my daughter last year. She was 10 then, and maybe 4'6 and 65 pounds. She took some persuading to shoot the first shot but loved it. My 8 year old daughter also shot the same load and she weighed maybe 55 pounds...

"Enter Me In The Nikon Scope Contest"

My rifle builder and his dad swear by the stuff. I have not heard of any issues in using it. He has a bore scope, but I didn't ask if had noticed any problems. The theory is there, good cleaning with less rod strokes. Wipe out is the cleaner he recommended for the Kreiger barrel he installed...

Enter Me In The Flatline Ops Contest

I took a few minutes to look for scopes that fit the description you gave. I did not find much, but on swfa some of the Hawke models looked close. There is also a new post on the Hide in the rimfire section about a Simmons. I have no experience with any of these scopes, but they aren't very...

I have sized LC 308 brass down to 260 in one step with RCBS FL dies using slow even pressure. The shoulders have a mark from the old neck junction but this should go away with fire forming. I found the necks need to be turned as they get too thick. They fit in my factory chamber but don't...

Is this stock still available? Email at bareiner02(at)gmail.com is the best way to reach me. Thank you

I have a Wotac 4-14. I think I remember seeing somewhere that on 10x the hash marks are 1/2 mil. All in all for the price it is a pretty good scope. BSA has a new FFP scope available through Midway, but I have not seen or heard much yet. Cost is a little less than the Wotac. I have talked...

Hornady's 8th edition reloading handbook has the Superformance burn rate between H 414 and A 4350. It is number 108 on the list. IMR 4831 is #119 and H4831 is # 125. I have one pound, but have yet to try it. I want to use it in some of the cartridges they make ammo for, but cant find the...

I have one of the Elite 4200 tactical in 6-24x50 FFP. The reticle illuminates in green. At the brighter settings in the dark, it seems to wash a little. I had the draftsman at work print me a target with four bulls-eyes at 7.2" from a center cross for box test. The reticle subtends correctly...

Give iStrelok a try. It is free and does what I think you are asking. Just input the load data, set the range and wind and press calculate. It gives drop and wind in moa, mils, inches, and clicks.

I have a heavy bench with all of my tools and bullets stocked. I find that without a small amount of lube on the inside of the case neck, I use more force to pull the expander through the neck than to resizing a case. The previous posts all have very good information. All of my dies are RCBS...
