    Swarovski z5i+ vs Leupold VX6HD Gen 2

    Aside from the aforementioned durability concerns, both scopes you mentioned have too much magnification for SFP.

    What’s going on with this GAP rifle?

    I think you missed my point. A borescope is something you can buy and operate on your own for surely less than what a 1/2 hr of gunsmith time will cost you.

    What’s going on with this GAP rifle?

    A cheap borescope would likely answer the question.

    Overtorqued Rings / Trijicon TenMile

    Understand that inch pounds of torque in this application is not a universal standard. The clamping force can be dramatically different at the same inch pound value of torque, depending on the size and number of fasteners, thread pitch, the ring style, etc. IMO, as a general guide, forget...

    H4350 - am I doing it wrong?

    It’s not that this powder or any other is good or bad. Same with the bullet. It’s just that for whatever reason that will always be impossible to determine, some barrels just show a preference for a certain powder or bullet. It always cracks me up when someone thinks powder ABC sucks and/or...

    Model 70 LA rebarreled to 6.5 creedmoor

    I hear ya. First, stretch out the spring gently. Then where the leaf of the spring slides into the follower, slide the follower front or back (probably back) to generate more pressure at the back of the mag. That should help push the back end of the cases upward more.

    Model 70 LA rebarreled to 6.5 creedmoor

    This isn’t a big deal and easily sorted out with a little experimentation with mag spring pressure. Have you tried stretching the spring out a little for more tension? And/or moving the follower front to back to put the tension where you want it? Then you could even spot weld (or probably even...

    Looking for optic in 1k range

    Either will do the job quite well. The NF reticle in FFP can be a bit hard to read at 4x.

    Expanding Mandrels

    That’s exactly what I do. I use a bushing die with a carbide button and just squeeze enough so that I feel the button barely running back through the neck. I still can’t see what advantage a mandrel would give me. And it’s an extra step.

    Expanding Mandrels

    Interesting. I’d like to see confirmation of only “expanding a ringed portion of the neck”. Thats not what I visually see. And how does an expander mandrel not do the same thing? I’m not seeing how essentially running a piece of same size metal, button or mandrel, thru the neck of a piece of...
