So Im building another ridiculous bolt action rifle and was starting to research scopes. I was initially considering a Leupold VX-5 or a Nightforce ATACR. I was watching some youtube vids by a guy...

It shoots fine, not great in my experience, but fine. But I have a super ridiculous custom bolt gun in 300AAC and it doesnt feed well. The wide meplat tends to stick just on the edge of the chamber.

I was told that it is most likely a Simonson setup. And it looks like his in an article I have that he wrote.

That would be super cool SSG. I dont have the BTX yet but have an inquiry out regarding. I would think a dead soft jacket and core with the scoring would likely expand at least a little at 1000ish...

I was thinking of making the projectile as soft as it could be made right before loading. But then I guess they would harden up over time wouldnt they.

Hey Yall!

I shoot tons of 300 aac subs. TONS! Mostly at pigs, some at targets to get better at shooting pigs at varying ranges with subs. I recently acquired a super cool set of .308 dies and a...

Ill tell you from experience, dont shoot em with carbon arrows. They run a ways and score the outside of the carbon and it breaks at the score mark every dang time. Pretty expensive way to get rid...

Honestly I expected it to be kindof junk. The reviews were reasonably good, so I gave it a go. I got what I expected. On the upside, I do think it will make an excellent catfishing sinker!

Did some more searching and found lyman now makes a pro Mic Seating die....just bought that.

Waleone, That method of loading is sometimes called "chasing the lands" there are some great youtube videos regarding the method i am using. Search "Stop chasing the lands" and you should find it. ...

youre probably right honestly

That comparator is genius! Im going looking for one!

Quick review if your thinking of buying it. Im working on a ridiculous 300AAC project just for fun and at the same time working on a 300WinMag load for a moose hunt. I needed 2 micrometer dies for...

Not trying to brag. But some backstory. I had a rem 700 300AAC. It was a ***. bbl said 1-7 but was 1-10. Didnt shoot heavy subs for anything. Was a baffle striking SOB. Buddy of mine loved it with...

This must be pre ordained to work I think. Dad had like 220 pieces of brass. Precisely 200 bullets, and I had 200 CCI 350 in my stash.

JonB you were right. I put that die in the old lube sizer and sized 6 got all of em through with a T handle allen wrench and one good whack of my hand. One barely needed a nudge, the rest were...

Youre right. Theyre at the very least 8 years old. But id bet 13-15 is more accurate.

They seem tight in all but 1 I could tap one through with a few sturdy palm taps. The rest stuck. I measured the boolits with a micrometer and get .430 and .429 So seems like maybe a tight throat. ...

Hey yall. I have an old anaconda I picked up at a gun show years ago. Never shot it much. Just some factory loads here and there. Got some .44 brass and cast boolits in my dads stuff after he...

That is awesome! Beyond my skill set but awesome! Im in the market for a lathe actually. I havent ran one since undergrad so I got some learning to do. There is a shopsmith or something similar...

An Aussie guy immigrated to my town...

For those of you saying Id need to shoot alot to make it make sense. Ive shot in the neighborhood of 1200 .30 cal bullets in the last 2 months. Id shoot more but its HOT here in Texas.

I cast...

Ive started saving the spent ones....

I mostly shoot .30 cal stuff some .224, Ive been away from the hobby for a while due to life and didnt notice that projectiles are now $.80 to $1.50 each for .30 cal. Seems insane to me. Now that...
