    Beginner Guide to Reloading - What equipment did you upgrade early on?

    Those distances, and not competing in an accuracy discipline (like benchrest) make things a whole lot more forgiving A lot of people getting into reloading initially (myself included) want to make the BEST ammo possible at look at what the benchresters are doing. I bought "The Benchrest...

    Rifle Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice for 2023

    Either a 6 Dasher (most likely w/109 ELD) or a 6 Creed with a 108 Berger EH. Dasher/109 combo got the nod last season, beyond your given limit.

    Who has done a diy mountain goat hunt in the lower 48?

    I would compare the meat to boots. On the two different goats I've had the pleasure of eating, even the burger was chewy.

    Montana and Tik Tok

    One hundred percent, when it comes to my kids our your kids, the responsibility clearly lies with us. When it comes to our youths culture being steered to a degree by a country that definitely considers us adversarial, I’ll remain opposed. I personally think Tik Tok is one of China’s more...

    Montana and Tik Tok

    I don't typically speak up on issues that aren't firearms related, but I do have a stance I'll share on this one. When it comes to tech and the influence of tech, one of the voices I appreciate for providing signal above the noise is Naval Ravikant. He stated a while back (a while in tech...

    FL Resizing Neck Issue

    That looks to me like a plunger ejector pushing it into the chamber wall during chambering or extraction. The case is pretty flexible at that point, so it's not normally an area that would cause issues. If that round chambered very tightly, and it isn't making contact at the case mouth and...

    FL Resizing Neck Issue

    I'd now sharpie the rest of the case and see where it's tight. Sounds like you've reasonably addressed seating depth, neck diameter, and shoulder location, which mostly leaves the web of the case, unfortunately.

    FL Resizing Neck Issue

    I'd sharpie the neck on a round with a bullet seated (and chamber it to see where the Sharpie is rubbed) just to confirm the neck diameter is the issue. If it is, you can neck turn the brass you have, or get new brass. The reamer prints I looked up had a neck diameter of .344" so that'd make...

    FL Die and shoulder measuring

    If you're brass has a shoulder that measures longer than the factory loads did, you should be far from the danger zone even if it isn't perfection. I'd personally use it without concern, measure the fired brass, and go from there.

    WTB - Labradar chronograph

    Fwiw, I'd personally backorder one and wait before I got a used one on this particular item. My searching last night came up empty.

    Precision Armament Hypertap muzzle brake

    When I tried my first brake with open ports on top, it was a big enough difference I switched all of them. If you’re interested, you can borrow one of mine to test that has open ports on top, just a few rounds would probably give you an idea if you want to bother with drilling yours. Shooting...

    Precision Armament Hypertap muzzle brake

    That all adds up. Is there any vertical rise left? I hadn’t seen that brake prior but it looks like a decent design. My favorite part about the latest generation of brakes is the ports on top that can eliminate rise, they really assist in spotting shots. Fwiw, when using a brake, I typically...

    I swore I'd never go back.

    I’ve never been to a Bass Pro, but I have good reason to never shop there. I bought a pair of Cabela’s branded Meopta binoculars. Cabela’s carried the warranty on them, which was a lifetime warranty. When Bass Pro bought them, they canceled it or stopped honoring it. When I did have a minor...

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    Bipod’s definitely have their limitations, but they aren’t all equal. I can use this one (a Ckyepod) on side hills as steep as I’d care to be on. It does a pretty decent job getting tall as well, depending on the specific model. The taller they go, the heavier they are, and none are light...

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    I pretty much agree with Wind Gypsy. I can get a stable position a bit faster and more consistently with a bipod vs a pack, but it usually isn’t THAT different. Where I see most of the difference is in the ability to spot shots, it’s much easier for me if I can load a bipod. Now, get the...

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    Wind Gypsy knows what he’s talking about, and I can’t think of a single person who advocates using a lead sled I’d say the same for.

    Pressure sign/load development question

    I'm not surprised you were savvy. I know I'm not alone. Have/am considering having a barrel opened up in the web area to see if I can get it to run nice, as I have enough for ~8 barrels worth if I took the Alpha as far as I've taken my Lapua brass. That's what I had done with my old PVA...

    Pressure sign/load development question

    I think this happens a ton with harder magnum brass or 308 case head size brass with small primers.

    Pressure sign/load development question

    Have you seen what Alex Wheeler has posted (a few places, maybe LRH, definitely LRO, maybe Accurate Shooter) about ADG brass and the PRC's? No personal experience (I used Hornady due to availability while I had a 6.5 PRC barrel) but he found they ran tight in the web and after a few firings the...
