    Painless load development (mine)

    Copy that. :) So…the RCBS I used to have and the Hornady shown both cut/bind on extruded kernels pretty hard, and are behind the curve on accuracy, but have micrometer adjustments that seem repeatable. The Harrell’s will bind a little but it’s pretty mild, and has a great micrometer. The...

    Ha! Just today realized it was a rabbit hole you hadn’t chased.

    Painless load development (mine)

    I bet you could get some loading done on that, but I probably won't be switching in that direction personally. The fancy scale is nice for testing, and I'm also convinced it can shrink vertical at distance some if you're being picky. It certainly isn't necessary, but I like nice tools and...

    Painless load development (mine)

    I use an RCBS Partner press. Cheap, light, and takes all my dies. I will say now that all my dies are in Hornady bushings, a Hornady press would be slightly more convenient. Should just get one to leave at the range...

    Painless load development (mine)

    The measure I showed is the Harrell's 90 Culver measure. I got it just under 10 years ago, it has gone up in price from $209.99 to $230 in that time. It's the cheapest measure Harrell's makes. I measure powder three ways, and honestly, the Harrell's is my least used of the three due to my...

    Painless load development (mine)

    I have a little time on my hands this afternoon, so I'm going to write up a mini-review of that measure and how I use it, as I think it's a pretty neat tool in the toolbox of a reloader.

    Painless load development (mine)

    You talking about one of these is too finicky? If you like simple, quick, and should last about forever... Now if you're using big extruded powder, or super focused on your SD numbers, a GOOD electronic (like in the background) has it's place, but for general use I think a Chargemaster takes...

    In-line Fabrication Lever

    I have one on my Hornady LNL AP, love it.

    Sizing inconsistency

    If I measure enough samples (at least 30-50) I’ve found I always have .002” variation between my high and low shoulder datum no matter what I’ve tried. Now I just accept it. Possibly a good induction annealer and a crazy stiff press could improve things, but I like my system and am happy with...

    Revic BLR10B vs Vortex fury hd 5000

    The Revic software is pretty decent. I just set up four profiles in mine off of the 4DOF profiles I’ve been using. I was able to stay within .02 mils of the Hornady with tweaked G7 numbers, everything else the same, to 1200 yds. The wind is actually quite quick to enter on the binos, both...

    Magneto v3

    If you can’t get it quick I’d reach out to Magnetospeed, they’ve been very responsive for me.

    Chronograph advice Do I need one?

    I find an accurate chronograph can be useful when working up to pressure (and if using a known combination of components ALMOST lets you measure pressure) but accurate is a must for me. I’d rather have nothing than a cheap optical option that I’d never really trust (this would be all opticals...

    T3 Lite vs T3x CTR weight difference

    While I generally am not worried about the gaps, sealed up better does seem preferable. I’d go ghetto and use electrical tape.

    Painless load development (mine)

    CCI 400’s are definitely on the light end of SRP’s. Ball powder isn’t helping ignition if it’s on the edge either, I wouldn’t be surprised if H4350 or similar could put you on the right side of the line. Took a 6.5x47 - CCI 400 - Varget combo well below zero multiple times and it worked...

    Scope Evaluation Donation

    I’ve been helping people dial in their equipment more than normal this year. How much $$$ do I need to donate to never have to say “I don’t trust scopes in general and maybe your’s in particular” ever again?

    6mm Creedmoor or 6.5 Creedmoor for Western Hunting

    Having talked candidly with some folks from Beretta and inquiring about exactly that, I’m not expecting it anytime soon, but who knows when the Fin’s whims will change. Creedmoor is certainly the direction the wind is blowing. I built a 6CM on a Tikka about 12 years ago, sold it mostly because...

    Completely lost zero mid shooting session. Looking for troubleshooting tips

    Toss the MK5 that’s working on your Seekins on the 300 Win and find out if your 5x25 went haywire (I give it high odds). It’s easy enough to confirm that way. New scopes are the most suspect to me, and it wouldn’t be a total anomaly if that model had an issue. I know plenty of people who...

    6mm ARC on deer

    There's nothing magic about the wrapper (6 ARC and a gasser), you're still delivering a 6mm bullet at "X" impact velocity. If your system will keep the projectiles your interested in at or above their minimum effective impact velocities at the longest you plan to shoot...party on. Check out the...

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    Hopefully this will eliminate my thoughts of making my own, I do NOT need another project, and there's an excellent chance I'll like this one.

    What keeps you from LR competition shooting?

    I do shoot competition, and shot the Grand Slam this weekend. Did okay, not great, have hardware and software both to improve. Firearms competition of many types can have a decent barrier to entry. The longer a discipline has been around, the more rules they tend to accumulate. The longer...
