Ive got two Arkens the EP5 5-25 and the EP8 1-8. The EP5 5-25 is the best and most feature loaded scope you can get for the price by a large margin. Can you spend 3x as much and get a better optic with better glass? Of course. Can you spend up two twice as much and get a better scope...

I am just starting out too but here are the things I have learned so far and will probably repeat what others say. #1. I know its a pain to load/test/load/test especially if you have a far drive to the range but DO NOT just pull something out of a load book and use it because it says you will...

Thanks, I am going to stick with it until I figure it out. I know the program works because it has matched some other testing I have done so there is some unknown (to me) factor that is putting turds in the tapioca, I just have to find it. Merry Christmas!

Thanks I will try the Discord. Ive done the best I can with measuring every variable but I don't have a chamber reamer to measure since I bought my barrel. Its a .223 Wylde chamber so I just input a 5.56 chamber in GRT that lacks the .223 Wylde option. I just think its odd that I have...

Since you have a ton of experience with GRT I figure you would be the one to ask I am having some issues getting accurate velocity data for particular loads. I have measured case capacity, COAL, projectile length/weight, seating depth, barrel length, twist rate and even powder temp while at...

You might want to check the price on the newest version of this rangefinder on Amazon. I don't think you will get any takers when you can get a new RX-1400i TBR/W for the same price.

I haven't had any issues with over spray with One Shot and I don't spray cases while in the loading tray so that's not an issue for me either. Through lots of trial and error I found a system that works for me and low and behold that exact process was.... written on the can... Wow...

Thanks for the link. I was joking about selling the brass I wouldn't sell it if I thought it was bad.

I should have been more clear, it was a lack of lubrication in case necks when sizing/depriming that was causing some to take noticibly more force than others. When seating I had not been deburring cases well enough so I was occasionally getting some jacket shavings at the case mouth. I dont...

I think I got my seating issue figured out it was a combination of improper deburring and a lack of lubricant in the case neck I made some adjustments to my process and loaded a few rounds and things were smoother/easier when I was sizing/depriming and seating bullets. And I have seen zero...

A tumbler is going to be my next purchase or perhaps gift if I can wangle it that way :) I know you can dry tumble or wet tumble what do people think of each? I know I need a dryer if I wet tumble so I am leaning towards a dry medium. What are everyone's opinions on each?

I will probably get that tool just for the handle and I think the steeper angle will work better for knocking the burr of anyway. Thanks.

Im using boat tail bullets, I have a couple boxes of Hornady 73 ELD's and I just got 500 55gr Boat tail soft points as a rebate from Hornady. I will try using less of a chamfer and bump it up a bit as soon as I run into more jacket shaving issues. Thanks.

I just resized 5 cases and my case neck diameter fresh out of the die is .245 or .2455 (with the small 5 next to the measurement flashing on my digital caliper) and a loaded round has a neck diameter of .246 with the small 5 flashing so I guess I am good in that respect. I more aggressively...

Do you mean use that RCBS tool specifically or use a tool like it? I have one of those that looks nearly identical it came in a Lee case trimmer set. I will do some more testing later, I have been running the tool to remove any burrs and feeling for it with the prongs on the tool when I am...
