    Reloading prices poll.

    I recently paid $90/1000 for CCI BR2 primers at one store and $100/1000 at another. That's more than twice the cost from two years ago. I find this acceptable, though, because without them I'm out of business. I have everything else I need in comfortable amounts. So... with a newly...

    What's your 6.5 PRC go to powder

    The rifle I was referring to, a Ruger Hawkeye M77 bolt action, was recently sent to a gunsmith to be rebarreled with a Shilen barrel. It was starting to go a little loopy on me when I tested the 153.5 grain Berger Hybrids, and it still shot so well. So... I have never before had a rifle...

    Where's the powder?

    I, too, do not see much influx of critical reloading components at the Buffalo Cabelas. They now have SOME powder and a a few more bullets, mostly Hornady. Not a trace of any brand of primers. They do, though, have more reloading TOOLS. They ARE making a comeback, albeit slowly. Contrast...

    Leupold warranty service

    I recently sent a scope identical to yours back to Leupold for repair of turrets with imperceptible clicks. I had it back in five weeks. It works perfectly.

    Need Advice on Using Expander Mandrels

    K&M expand mandrels are part of my reloading procedures for 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC, along with Redding Type S Match full sizing dies (with button removed, of course.) I also use their micrometer seating dies. With neck-turned brass (using K&M apparatus) I get between zero and .0015" of run-out.

    Looking for die purchase advice

    Like others, I've not been able to make bushing dies work. Full length only.

    Looking for die purchase advice

    Redding! Period. Using Redding dies, Lapua brass and bullets (and Berger, too) I am able to produce sub-.4MOA consistently.... and with .3" of runout. Other brands may be comparable, but I know for sure that Redding dies work.
