Re: FS: Box of Lapua 308 WIN Brass - Sold Pending Funds SOLD - Pending Funds

Sorry nyrifleman, it sold about 4 minutes before your post. I will keep your name just in case the other guy doesn't follow through.

Box of 99 pieces 308 Win (7.62x51) - $65 shipped to lower 48. Lot #: P00684402 Box has been opened; however, only 1 piece used. I attempted to neck down to 7mm-08 and screwed it up. Wound up buying Norma 7mm-08 brass so non't need the Lapua 308 Win brass any more. PayPal OK.

Thanks so much for your input. The 120 BT's are so accurate in my rifle I've just got to try them in the field. Since I have never hunted with them before, all of your input here has made me feel a lot better about doing so. I also plan to work up a load for the 140 Accubonds. Assuming they...

I've read a lot of post on various forums about the effectiveness of the 7mm 120 Ballistic Tip on deer. I've never hunted with these but just tried them out in my new custom 7mm-08 and the accuracy was incredible (groups 1/4" ctc @100 Yds). In the post that I have read, folks either love or...

Yea.. it was my first and probably only custom build so I bit the bullet and got everything I wanted on it. So far I am very pleased. I especially like the Kepplinger single set trigger.

It's a Boyd's Laminated Prarie Hunter

LOL... I'm just glad that after spending the money on a custom build that the dang thing will actually shoot. :-) Here are some pics:

I finally got to the range today to shoot my new custom 7mm-08 for the first time. The rifle was build by Mark Pharr of Tumbleweeds Custom Rifles in Round Rock, TX. Today I was shooting 140 Sierra Pro Hunters on top of IMR 4350 and 120 Nosler BT's on top of H414. I started with the Sierra's...

In the past, I have used Leopold quick release rings to switch back and forth between my hunting scope (3-9x40 Burris Bal Plex) and my range scope (Simmons 6.5-20x50) that I used for working up hand loads. However, for the past two seasons I have actually been hunting with the 6.5-20x50 and have...

Thanks for the feedback Bruce! Yes, I'm a right handed shooter and have been having to close the left eye for shotgun wing shooting all my life. Both eyes open for target acuisition and swing then shut the left eye before final swing throuth and shot. It's just something I had to get used to...

I have just ordered a Trijicon TR20 with post & green triangle reticle. The Trijicon site talks about BAC (Bindon Aiming Concept) or shooting with both eyes open. Question 1: Do you use the BAC just to acquire the target and then aim and shoot with one eye closed, OR do you actually acquire...

Trickymissfit You're absolutely correct about not having that kind of money to invest :) firstshot

would it make sense to have the chamber cut to match my FL Redding die? Yes? Please explain. I thought it was too costly to make a custom barrel reamer?

Just to make sure I've got this right. You fireform some brass in your newly cut match chamber and then send that fireformed brass to someone to make you a custom FL sizing die.... correct? Do you have any recommendations for who can make these custom FL sizing dies?
