    Need help in the San Diego area with getting into reloading.

    reloading equipment for rifle and pistol. I have been reloading for shotgun with a Mec. 600 jr and 650 progressive for many years but I want to get started reloading for rifle calibers. I know the fundamentals of reloading but have never done it by myself. I am looking for someone who can...

    Toughest scope rings?

    Try the DNZ rings. They have a one price base and are billet milled. I have yet to find a set that needed to be lapped. Another reason I like them is that they are strong and light weight. Just my 2 cents

    What are the easiest mistakes you learned the most from when reloading?

    Keep your brass separated by rifle and mark the boxes for the particular rifle that it was fired from if you are not fully resizing the brass when you want the utmost accuracy. Fire formed brass will be the most accurate. If you mix up rounds loaded for one rifle with another it just might...

    What are the easiest mistakes you learned the most from when reloading?

    Brass problems

    I do not post very often but I have to here. I had a Remington 722 in 300 Savage that showed the same ring Grandpa said it had been like that since the 40’s when he bought it after the war. You could never get more than three or four fireings off a price of brass before they would separate at...

    Would you pay $3000 for a factory Remington?

    I think for that kind of money I would buy a GA Precision custom with a Templar action. For that kind of money you are to the custome rifle category so why not go that route and buy a custome fitted for you personally in the caliber you want. Everybody deserves a custome built rifle once in...

    .375 hh

    I lost my first .375H&H in a forest fire in 1998 along with a collection that came from both grandfathers and what I had bought personally. A Browning X-bolt .375 H&H was the first rifle I replaced. Love the cartridge and reloading both cast and factory bullets with my favorite factory bullet...

    Has anyone had experience trying to hit a 18" steel circle at a mile with a Rem 700 26" varmit in .308? If so what was the setup. Right now I have DNZ 30 MOA rings and a NXS 5.5-22X 50mm on top and i can do it about once in ten on a good day and not at all on a bad day. With my .338 lapua I can...
