Now days we are lucky in that most any vendor you choose will provide you with high quality dies. I have used Redding, Hornady, RCBS, Dillon and Lee. I rank quality in that order from highest to lowest. Don't let that fool you....Lee dies are still excellent; I would not hesitate to use any...

I am going with the Bushnell Elite 4200...Leupold would have been nice but finances dictate otherwise. GT40...I looked everywhere for the 4200 with the Mil-dot it was available in the 24x version but the 32x only comes with the multi-x. Anyone know if Bushnell will swap reticles for a...

New rifle. I also tried doing a minimal neck size...just enough so that the bullet will slide in the neck but still have friction to stay there after extraction. Seated the bullet part way and closed the bolt. The COL came out around 2.377 to 2.380. I tend to believe the Stoney point gauge...

I noticed that Jeff was listing lengths of 2.268 and 2.27 which is really close to the max SAAMI recommended spec...I just checked out my LRPV and found that I was getting avg lengths of 2.370 with 55gr spitzers...is this a large amount of freebore. The barrel is new with 140 rds thru it

Planning on about 1200 once I find a few good loads. Right now 26.8g BL-C(2), 55g Sierra SPBT, BR-4 primers is showing promise...as is 27.1g BL-C(2), Nosler 55g SPBT and BR-4 primers. I plan on trying H335, H4895 and Viht N133...I have heard they are good in the .223 as well...just having a...

A quick search of the net is showing a depressing lack of bulck compomemts, bulltes and brass. Locally I am having trouble finding powder and primers. Will be hard to reload if I can't get the components :p Cabela's has bulk ammo from Ultramax. It is remanufactured using Hornaday 55gr V-Max...

I have a Savage 12 LRPV. This summer I am planning my first PD shoot. Will be traveling to SD for a week. What would you recommend for a rest while shooting? Bipod? If so what do you like and what works with the LRPV? We are debating how much ammo to bring. One source said that each...

Try this ... http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/24074/catid/8/Stoney_Point_Overall_Length_Gage__curved_ and don't forget the modified case gage http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/24075/catid/8/Stoney_Point_Overall_Length_Gage_Modified_Case I normally use Midway...

Lots of good info here. I agree with VarmintGuy in that Leupolds are very expensive. Never owned one but friends who do love them. The Bushnell Elite series looks interesting. I am currently using a Tasco 8-32x 40mm. Works well but above 24x the optics dim and get fuzzy. It's made in Japan...

If you shoot varmints and some targets what is your favorite scope and why? What reticles do you like/dislike? 1/4" MOA or 1/8" MOA adjustments? 1" tube or 30mm 40mm objective? 50mm?

Our curiousity is piqued..what's the post mortem???? :)

I have a Beeman R1 .20 with a Beeman 4x-12x scope. The scope is mounted with Beeman rings. I bought this setup nearly 20 years ago when Bob Beeman was still selling them. :) A few years ago I took the gun to the range (It had not been used in 8 years) and found that it was shooting 6" to 12"...

Just curious on how everyone feels these stack up against each other. I have seen comparisons of the 700 against the 12 BVSS here so let's see how the M77 stands up :)

What did the group dispersion look like? Did you have vertical stringing or horizontal stringing. Horizontal is wind, Vertical you are having issues with equipment or loads

Just guessing Q1 The brass was likely corroded followed by the bullet Q2 The powder was probably least affected since the moisture has to go thru everything else to reach it...but considering this came up in a primer thread...:-) I'm curious to see the affects garage storage has on my primers...

I am currently finishing a Richards Microfit laminated stock for my 10/22. Even though it is onl;y 1/2 done it never fails to draw apprciative comments. It is identical to the pic of the stock and 10/22 on Richard's website. The Tru Oil brought out the risc golden glow of the stock

Thanks guys! The advice is much appreciated!

I was wondering if you folks can help. I just ordered a Savage 12 LRPV (.223). I will be mounting a scope with a 1" tube and 44mm objective. I plan on using a Leupold base - 55743: 2-pc Base 10/110 Round Receiver Silver. What height Leupold rings will allow the objective to clear the...
