Thanks guys! All great suggestions. I actually have been cleaning my die every time I get one stuck. Is there a trick to setting these things that I missed? I have tried to find a how-to for setting an rcbs die but cannot find one. I always thought you just got your case holder to bottom out on...

Thanks! I didn't even realize there was a vent hole.

I know this question had to have been asked a million times but. . . . I have about every other cartridge sticking in the die and am having to drill and tap the end to get them out. Is there some secret to lube I am missing? Could I have my die set wrong? I have an rcbs single stage press and...

Thank you! This was the simplest, easiest explanation I have ever heard for this!

Thank you! This was very helpful. Is there an easy way to see when you are on the lands or not. That is the part that is confusing.

Could someone please make this simple for me? I have read and read about head spacing and seeating depth and it has only confused me further. 1) How do you decide how far to seat a bullet? 2) What if anything does this have to do with head spacing? From what I gather, head spacing is the...

Any thoughts on length? Sorry to bother you!

What should I be looking at for a contour for a barrel then? Any preferences?

Do you mean the caliber or a savage out of the box?

I forgot to ask if it would be easier to just buy a complete savage. Are they capable of doing well at 1k?

I am just in the planning stage of my first rifle and here are my thoughts so far. This is going to be a purely target gun that I would like to shoot out to at least 1k. I am pretty sold on 6.5 creedmoor, unless there is some reason you guys think I shouldn't. I like the savage target action...

Hey guys, I am going to buy a new rifle in the near future and need some thoughts. I am all set up for 7mm-08 right now and I love it. There isn't much recoil so I can shoot it all day long, there are lots of choices in ammunition to reload, and it is a good, consistant round all in all. My...

I can't afford a custom job right now but would like to work my way into one. For example, in a year I might put in a new trigger, then upgrade the barrel etc. as funds will allow. I would like to be able to dust a coyote at 800+. I have an AR 15 that I can hit a prairie dog with at 400 or less...

I don't know much about Tikka, except the little bit I can learn online. Can you get after market parts for them very easily? Like stocks barrels triggers etc.?

Hey guys, I am getting ready for my first build and need some feedback. I have a Browning A- built in 7mm-08. I like this caliber but I want a gun that I can build a real tack driver out of. My first thought is the Remington 700 sps varmint because it has an action that I can build from later...
