    Sauer 202 ....What bases are available??

    I bought a sauer 202 classic synthetic. Weaver lists #35 bases for front and rear however the front of the reciever is much higher than than the rear and the weaver #35 bases are the same height (thickness) thus causing the rings not to line-up. Does anyone know of a decent weaver style base...

    300gr SMK Woes-Maybe??

    I have nothing but great performance from the 300smk. On 3 deer between 530 and 550yrds the effects were devastating in both lung/rib shots and partial shoulder shots-none went more than 10yrds. 1 deer at about 430 had an entrance and exit wound the size of your fist. 1 elk at just over...

    long range shooting mat / rifle case any interest??

    Looks similar to an Eagle Industries HSRC: http://www.eagleindustries.com/MainProd.asp?scv=0 (if this link does not work, search HSRC on Eagle's page) You can get the HSRC for about $230 usd. So It may not be worth your wife's time considering the hours of sewing it may require. The HSRC is...

    Wby mk 5

    I have a 300 in the Jap. Mark V deluxe. The holes are drilled out of line with the bore bad enough that A regular leupold scope still needsd more than 9 moa windage to just get zeroed. I used burris signature rings with the off-set inserts to zero the rifle...seemed like a decent fix if you...

    meplate uniforming

    How do you properly measue bearing surface area? Is it the same as base to ogive length using a comparator and a set of calipers? I'm trying to improve my consistency with the 300gr SMK @ 800-1200 yards I seem to have sporatic high "flyers" as much as a foot at around 1000 yrds. Also...

    meplate uniforming

    I realize that trimming the meplate does not alter the base to ogive length I was wondering if you need to trim varying amounts from the meplate depending upon different lots of bullets separated by varying "base to ogive lengths."

    meplate uniforming

    Thought I'd see if anyone might be able to explain the right way to uniform a bullet's meplate. Fom what I've read you remove around .005 to .007 of material. I need to know when I sort the bullets prior to trimming by measuring the base to ogive, do I adjust the amount of material I remove...
