i can't say i have tried it yet, but i am getting the wife a Mic for Christmas that hooks right up to the laptop for recording her music. I imagine you could get a similar set up that wouldn't be to heavy to pack around. If anyone has hounds i'll be glad to go out and try recording them for...

This afternoon I went out looking for some coyotes to shoot. Instead i came back with a 3X4 mule deer. I spotted him and some does bedded down so i headed downwind to see if i could get a better look. i had lost sight of the heard for a moment but when they came back into view i couldn't see...

How much do you want to do mine? :) haha thanks though for the info.

Ah sorry Boomtube, when i am running brass they come in contact. And as far as the section in my book about Op, well lets just say i am learning. or trying to anyways.... "The easiest way to ascertain if, the die is setting back the shoulder and how much is using a headspace gage. The...

I had ran all my 2x through the FL die before i noticed they were fitting a little snug/ closing the bolt got a little tough. They had also shown OP signs. (flattened primers, ejector marks, heavy bolt lift) I have a once fired, that i haven't resized. it sits a little high in the gage but...

the shell holder comes in contact with the die. The body die seems like the most promising, but will i need to buy a neck sizer as well or can i bump the shoulder and send it through the FL to size the neck?

its the lee challenger breech press. yes the shell holder does come in contact with the die. and no i don't have an accurate way to compare the 2 brass. what is the best way to do that? farout, thanks for the info, thats what i am trying to do :) i have been getting pressure signs at...

I just got my case gage for the lapua today so i went right to work. i checked my gage with brand new brass and they were sitting as expected so i moved onto my 2x fired brass that i had full length resized. They were sitting a little high so the instructions said to screw in the die, resize...

sounds good, hopefully we can all get together and do some cow tipping

Thanks everyone for the replies. Not sure what Gen the stock is but i have taken it off and worked the front end some to make sure the barrel was free floating. i haven't had a chance to shoot it since so ill give it a go first. also have a late season elk hunt in Jan so i won't do anything...

I am wanting to bed my savage 111 LRH 338 lapua. I have never done this before so tips would be great! Some of the more specific questions i have include.. How much material will i need to remove? does the aluminum base in the accustock create any challenges? (all the videos i have seen...

i am just venting right now. My hunting buddy and i had to pass on a pack of coyotes because Saltlake county decided to designate a patch of prime hunting land as "Rec. Area". we saw 5 individuals at about 350 yards. about 20 mins later we saw 5 more(maybe the same 5) at about the same...

now i am getting off subject but what twist rate is recommended for 300?

what kind of velocity are you getting with that load? ( 94.5 grains of H1000 with 250's) excuse my ignorance but why cant my rifle stabilize the 300 gr? others seem to have found great success with the 300's.

thanks every one for the posts, i have lots to try but not a whole lot of time or money so its a slow process.
