Let me know if the SPF falls through

I second, third, fourth...for rebarreling your 280AI. A cartridge you are very familiar with, you have everything you need for it, same bullet options as the PRC and I never go on a hunt without a backup rifle. One would be the perfect backup for the other, maybe configure it for a lighter or...

So many thoughts and processes, my first question is application. If you're loading for a hunting rifle and your loads without all of the work shoot in the MOA range, you don't need to be concerned with with prepping cases to the 'nth degree because you aren't going to be able to shoot that...

I looked at them on their website, seems like one would have to buy their Pro die for $269.00 which is a lot for one die to get the carbide button, I do acknowledge that the entire sizing die uses carbide for body and neck sizing which is kinda cool but still pricey. I did see the carbide button...

I would like to see "buttons" made from carbide

True, wrong term on my part

My final step is with a collet die which obviously uses a mandrel. There's no stretch from pulling a mandrel out of the neck

I'm getting out of the 6.5 Creedmoor business, so I have a pretty complete list of items to sell. Curtis Axiom SA with a Bartlein #5 7.5 twist bedded in a Grayboe Outlander stock and another Bartlein medium Palma gain twist 9-8 which is fitted to the same action. Timney flat trigger. I have a...

I like the Murphy rail also. I have a Pierce action and they make the rails for Pierce I believe, at least there was a link to them on the Pierce website. I also prefer to support a made in America small business that does great work. Warne, EGW, Leupold, Nightforce and Badger are all good as well.

I would likely use a LPVO with a dot in your environment and range and if you like Leupold their 1.5-5 VX5 with Firedot would be all you need. If you wanted more magnification I would strongly consider the Tract 2.5-15 hunting scope. Very good German glass and solid build for less than a...

I have the 5-25 based on the recommendation of a friend in our agency whom is very experienced and whom I hunt with. He has the Razor GenII and bought a Strike Eagle. He likes the Strike Eagle just as well for a practical hunting scope that doesn't weigh like a brick. I like the Strike Eagle...

One very important thing I didn't see is the condition of the bore in the Sako. If the receiver and bolt are serviceable and can be cleaned up, even if the bore is shot because of neglect and no good, I would recommend to rebarrel it in AI if that's what you want for far less than buying the...

I had a M1A Supermatch McMillan some years ago which I was absolutely stupid to part with. Amazing rifle and one of the best battle/ sniper rifles ever made. I needed a porter to carry it though and I think that’s why I sold it. I replaced it with a POF 308 which was a great rifle in it’s own...
