I voted for Starline because in the grand scheme of things have had very few problems and find their product to be equal to Lapua and Norma (too soft). I do spend a lot of time preparing my brass before use and cull what I don't like. Peterson is good, but the tiny flash hole means I have...

I have V3 it works great for rifles once you use it for a while and get used to the system. I have an RCBS chargemaster which works slower but when I check the accuracy with the 120 I was amazed at how accurate it was for handgun loads

Sierra has 6 308 Game Kings and 3 Tipped Game Kings in 308, different weights and some with a soft point, full metal jacket, and hollow points. I use the BTHP 165's in my 308 and whitetail deer usually fall with one shot. They have been extremely accurate in 6 rifles I have shot them in and I...

I bought a Mossberg SA-20 youth model for my grand kids, one grandson prefers an old Winchester 37A that was cut down for my brother, well over 50 years old - go figure. Arm strength is a factor to consider and a 12 youth model shooting 7/8 oz loads is also concideration.

I have had 2 barrels done one Sako Quad by ADCO and one Encore by Bellum - Accuracy on both was unaffected in fact the Encore shot better both barrels were sub MOA to start with

Varget 43 to 45.5 grains and Sierra 165 Game Kings HPBT or it’s brother

Starline small primer

K & M - Sinclair for Large caliber 35 to 50

Tikka .

Bullets sometimes - powder and primers never

Never had a problem, but at present I only use it on handgun brass.

Area 419, I have3 over the years tried several and I like the Area419 Hellfire the best. Easy to remove to clean and as effective as any that I have tried. A bonus is that they make suppressor bounce that fir on the barrel adapter so you can switch back and forth.

Scope mount set with leveled rifle and plumb bob. Some applications also have a rail mount in addition to the scope mount. Not fond of things that need batteries.

DITTO with leave it alone

Custom barrels are usually hand lapped and require very little break in, of course, it never hurts. Savage barrels are not hand-lapped, I would suggest you shoot - clean and when it is easy to clean move on to 2 or 3 round strings. The last Savage barrel I had shot well, but not as well as the...
