If you are at the equipment buying stage you have a lot of options and also a major problem. Electric guitar players (such as yours truly) and metallic case re-loaders can suffer from a horrible, wallet debilitating malady known among musicians as G.A.S. This stands for Gear Acquisition...

If you are using standard full length dies and press you can bump them fairly easily. "Smoke' the neck of the fired case with a candle flame. Then back the die off from the press cylinder with the press ram fully extended. Run the case into the die. Pay careful attention to how much of the...

Thanks guys! I had already measured some loaded factory ammo (at .251) so I have .258,259, 250 and .251 bushings. I used a K&M neck turner and just took off the high spots. I use RCBS Gold Medal dies (without the expander ball) when first prepping new cases. From then on I use Wilson...

I recently purchaed a Saavage 12 lpv, DBM in .22-250. I am in the process of buying dies and I want to have a decent 'spread' of neck bushings to control neck tighness. The SAMMI spec on a .22-250 is .254". I have\will be turning necks. I will be shooting Bergers almost exclusively...

Hi: I am looking for a set of rings for my Savage 12 lpv DBM. I have ordered a 20 MOA rail, however am not sure if a low, medium or high ring height is correct for my shooting style. Should I just wait until the gunsmith is going to mount the scope and try several heights to find the...

Hi: Nice pics Bumplightbulb What type of RCBS dies? Vomact

I have been trying (and failing miserably) to purchase one of these rifles since before Christmas. I 'ordered' the rifle from at least 6 online dealers, who shall remain nameless to protect their reputations. Every dealer I have dealt with has 'assured' me that they have it in stock. I place...

DOC-DOC Happy New Year! Thank you kindly. Just what I needed to see. Regards, Vomact:D

Hi: New member of the forum. I used to shoot benchrest (6PPC) many years ago before starting a family forced me to settle down. Well, now one boy is in college and the other is in high Sschool. I convinced my better half that I needed a hobby (I was driving her crazy, Hee, Hee, Hee), so I...

Hi: I am a new member here although I am not a stranger to the shooting sports. I used to shoot benchrest and in DCM meets back in the early 90's, when there was such a thing as the DCM. I had a LV and HV in 6 PPC smithed by a true gentleman, Vince Pastorella. Vince used to shoot in the...
