The CCI 34’s are a “harder” primer. That is how they help to prevent slam fires. They require a solid strike to detonate. The only time that they might be an issue, is in a rifle that has trigger work, that lightens the hammer spring. Other than that, they should work just fine.

Nikon is no longer in the rifle scope business. They quit make rifle scopes almost three years ago.

I would see if I could find a Dillon Precision Eliminator Beam Scale. Dillon doesn’t show it as a currently available item on their website so, you will have to look for one on the secondary market. I have had mine for about 20 years and use it to check my Pact Precision electronic...

I had Shilen rebarrel my Mark V Deluxe about 20 years ago to shoot 160 gr bullets. They installed one of their hand lapped stainless steel barrels. I cannot recall the twist rate but, it’ll shoot 160 gr Nosler Partitions and Accubonds into a ragged hole at 100 yds all day long. That was the best...

I have been shooting 160 partitions and accubonds into ragged holes out of my 7mm Weatherby for years using Nosler’s recommended load of 64.5 gr RL 22. I know that RL 22 has been impossible to find lately but I’ve also had success with RL15. If you‘re interested in giving it a shot and need some...

I have been using the RCBS hand priming tool for about 20 years. I started out using the round tray but switched to the square tray as soon as it became available. The round tray with square primer boxes doesn’t work out real well. No matter how careful you are, you tend to spill primers. The...

I have been using the pins for two years and have never had any issues with them getting stuck in primer pockets. However, I use Frankford Arsenals Wet/Dry Media Separator to separate the pins from the cases when they are finished tumbling. This separator has a drain in the bottom so you can...

I use RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaning Solution (RCBS Part# 87058). I started out using RCBS Sidewinder Case Cleaning Solution but, RCBS discontinued that and recommended using the ultrasonic solution as a replacement. Also, I see people talking about using distilled water due to hard water...

I started liquid cleaning almost thirty years ago with the RCBS Sidewinder and switched to the Frankfort Arsenal liquid tumbler when it came out. Frankfort tumblerwith the pins does a much better job. I have always deprimed first using an RCBS universal depriming die until Frankfort Arsenal...

I have used the Hornady One Shot for almost 20 years on everything from 223 to 416 WBY Mag and have only stuck a case when I neglected to, or sprayed too little on the inside of the case necks. Of course, by spraying the inside of the case, I end up running the cases through a second “wash”...
