    Redding Competition Seating Die Question / Issue

    Not about set up - about checking whether your cases when you reload are hanging up and not going inside the sliding sleeve and effecting your seating depth.

    Redding Competition Seating Die Question / Issue

    Sounds silly but check that the case is fitting easily into the sliding sleeve - i.e. not hanging up somewhere and that it goes the entire way in as it should to seat a bullet with the support. I've experienced situations where it was clear that the sliding sleeve moved up and then the case...

    Hard bolt Lift

    Excessive case length is far more common than many expect, which was why I suspected that. Many assume that cases "don't stretch so fast". I hear this particularly with those loading for AR's on progressives because trimming is such a PITA. I've experienced excessive length from a first resize...

    Looking for some feedback on primer seating tools

    At one point I did lot of things including primer pocket correction etc. I also measured some primers and started wondering what I needed to measure; I assumed the cup depth. I seated with a Lee Autoprime and still do (although I intend to acquire a bench mounted Lee). With great SD's I have to...

    Hard bolt Lift

    I would do a bunch of measuring and try to narrow things down like that. You have to measure things to know things in reloading, the rest is guessing. The very first and most simple thing I would do would be to make sure that the length of a sized case is within spec for your chamber. It would...

    Weatherby Mkv Accumark 338 LM

    So the search function is my friend, but didn't seem to find me anything meaningful. I'm looking for any feedback on this rifle. This is one of the big 33's available here in factory configuration and whilst pricey it may be something I want to consider. It's a 26" barrel with a 2" brake...

    Bases / rings for tikka t3 sporter

    Some advice please... I bought my girlfriend a Sako T3 Sporter (222 Rem). It has a grooved receiver top, but not dovetails like a Sako. It is also not drilled and tapped. What scope bases or direct attach rings have you used successfully on these rifles? I'm trying to avoid the Optilocks...

    McMillan Lazzeroni question

    Broz, A few questions please as you have experience with the stock... Have you ever handled a McM Lazzeroni style (not TH) stock and how did it compare? How is the TH in a big recoiler? I see you have a brake on the rifle, but I assume you may have some experience without it. Howw...

    340 WBY real potential and questions?

    Good day, I've recently purchased a 340 WBY MkV Lazermark (produced in Japan). I think it was a great deal, but the 340 is not that popular here (in South Africa) as components are hard to come by, ammunition prohibitively expensive (if you can locate it) and I for one wont' support the local...

    BASES AND RINGS... clarification on recoil shoulders please!

    I was hoping that you guys who have seen all of these can clear up some questions please... On my shorter range, broken bushveld, type rifles I don't need the set up that I have on my long range rifle. Here in South Africa I can't necessarily get to inspect all of these products and I'm...
