Is there any word on a release date for this?

It is actually the other way around. Horus uses only the G1 BC's where AB has the option to use either G1 or G7. Both are extremely accurate though and either one are, "close enough for government work". The AB version would be my choice. Mike

"...Lyman rings work better." Ok- price, locking screw I got- Is there anything else about the Lyman nuts that makes it functionally better? Mike

Thanks, that gives me a place to start- I did feel some resistance in a few of the cases. I had to bump the shoulder back on a few of the cases which were already primed. Ran them back through the bushing die but probably got sloppy- I'll pay more attention next time. Mike

I have no info on the Hornady dies but I know that I have several extra Forster Locking Nuts that I use with my Co-Ax. One of Forster's selling points is the ability of the die and shell plate to free float. I do not know if you'd be able to get the repeatability out of the Hornady nuts or if...

I can't wrap my head around an issue I experienced this morning. I thought I'd share it with the Collective before I re-visit my bench. I'm reloading 300win mag using a CO-Ax and Redding Comp S Seating Die. I use the fixed shell plate w/ a Redding #6 shell holder- 20 pieces of brass are...

JMHO- What type of shooting- Static prone or bench vs. tactical, CQB style? Practical Distance- Range of shooting? Weight and ergonomics of platform? I have used many variations of the SR-25 or DPMS style 308 AR platforms in the last 20 years. These were mostly working "Battle Rifles"...

I used to shoot one clean one- put alot of copper downrange in the hope of making my barrel shoot straighter than I could. I now burnish the barrel before I fire the first round. Sentry Solutions smooth Kote and BP2000. Puts the Moly in the barrel w/out the problems in the forcing cone and...

Most of the time, I feel unworthy to udder a sound around such paragons of wisdom- but I do have a big mouth and an additude:D:D:D:D I know not of your MV variations, but when I read that you were using a Magneto Speed to record your velocities, a bell knocked me off the couch. I use a MS...

As a side note though- I have a 308 built on a 700 short action w/ a 20" Hart 1.250 straight tapered barrel on a McMillan A5 stock which put 4 rounds of 175gr. SMK Black Hills into that same 1800 yrd target. That scope was a Nightforce NXS FFP 5.5-15x56- It was shot at max- 15power... If you...

I'm sorry, I do not know what the magnification was. It wasn't my rifle. I took the pic with my I-phone. My 338LM has a Bushnell Tactical Elite w/ a H59 reticle 5.5-25x56 power with a 34mm tube mounted on a Badger Ordnance 45moa base and rings. I have 27+ mils on the turret to mechanical...

Does this photo look familiar? 1800 yards- Did you get a chance to shoot this? My schedule did not allow me to participate in your training cycle with Mr. Beck- I know from feedback from prior training cycles that some hunter types did not enjoy shooting primarily from the prone. I'm glad you...
