    What is the rifle you passed by that you regret not buying

    2012 within about three months from each other I turned down two Barrett M107's in Barrett cases with Ammo and Bi-pod's. One had a Leopold scope and the other had a NF. One for 1500 and the other 1000. Couldn't do it because I lived in the wrong State and I didn't want to loose my FFL. Then...

    If you had $700, what would you get for reloading?

    If I only had $700.....probably a Labradar. That would leave about $50 +/- to buy targets.

    Anneal after prep/sizing? Not the typical question...

    I saved my pennies and only use Lapua brass in my hunting rifles, (not a brass snob). I have tried other brass and found that the Lapua brass is more consistent than other brands in powder capacity and wall thickness. Anyway after my case prep is done I anneal the cases, however I anneal on the...

I use Lapua exclusively for all my tools. Doesn't matter between hunting rig, tactile rig or competition rig they all have the same...
