"Ultimate" sling by “Ultimate Firearm Sling” by Specialty Outdoor Prodects would seem like it fits your criteria list almost exactly. It’s now $46 on Amazon.

Very interesting! Makes total sense. So, using brass fired at least once in a particular rifle, and head spacing off the shoulder, is the best way to build accurate hunting loads in my 300 Winmags? And, for new brass, it should be fireformed before building hunting loads? And…(for barrel nut...

Hardening a lug will allow it to withstand a higher recoil strain before it yields (bends permanently) but will not make the lug significantly stiffer. The only straightforward way to increase lug stiffness is to thicken it.

…unless the scope has a properly adjusted parallax setting, which will cause the crosshair plane to sit atop the target plane and zero that particular error.

Cheekweld differences only matter (first order) if parallax error can exist. Does the scope being used have a parallax adjustment and is it set to the correct range? If so, aimpoint differences caused by eye point differences wouldn’t be the problem.

A typical raindrop is 2mm in diameter and weighs about 0.5 grains. It falls at a terminal velocity of 20-30 fps, or appears essentially stationary to a bullet at 2-3000 fps. If a bullet strikes that raindrop dead center and transfers 100% of the raindrop’s energy and momentum to its own speed...

Bingo on the rebarreled 270 WSM. Want to shoot long bullets but don’t want to reload? Find a friend who reloads and shoots 270 WSM (!)

Try tiny balloons from the kids’ department. I keep 3-4 in my pack and slip one on anytime it gets wet.

Looking for any load info with either of those powders for my néw build, a 6.5 WSM 26” sporter contour with 8:1 twist. Action is a Savage DBM. I have both those powders and 140 gr SST’s on hand for load development and will also be trying some Hammers of a similar weight. Published loads seem...

What causes loose primer pockets? I’ve had the occur on 25-06AI brass after only 2-3 uses. (I neck-size only after fire-forming.)

My Savage with a 24” 338-06 Shaw barrel and using H4350 shoots 200gr bullets at 2900fps and 225gr bullets at 2700 fps, both VERY accurately.

My reloading setup is on a wooden Harbor Freight bench, 60” with four drawers, $150. https://www.harborfreight.com/60-in-4-drawer-hardwood-workbench-63395.html
