Taliv, Amazing how some people cease to think with a gun in hand, albiet the majority of those generally exhibit little sense most all the time. Early this month (Sep) some brilliant thinking dove hunters decided to flush the doves and wait for them to set down on the aerial cables here in...

Like any other bullet, some rifles like them, some don't. But, depending on the days density altitude, a Sierra 168 SMK may go through the target side ways (keyhole) and obviously loose accuracy, the A-Max seem to fly straight at 1000 yrds. Basically, the Sierra 168 does not handle going...

Hmmm, interesting that it occurred on machines of 2 plus years vintage. Danged warranty ends at 2 years. Mine failed exactly as described by the OP. It is about 3 years old and hasn't loaded a lot of rounds. I guess the $45 is what bugs me, I know it shouldn't but I leave it on the bench and...

Capt., I've been happy with some of the Fed 165 grn hunting rounds in 308. They make 500 yrds easy. MV 2695 fps. 24 inch factory barrel. Snakum, In a 24 Krieger I've been getting 2660 fps out of Black Hills 175, and 2770 out of my 175 loads with Varget (with best grp). I have pushed it...

My prayers are for you my friend. May you have a fast and complete recovery. LP

I've never had a problem in any of my 95 Palma chambers. But I only shoot Fed 155 grn palma, 168 SMK, 175 grn SMK or Black Hills equivalent. Note the 175's & 155's shot the best, but the margin of difference was almost immeasurable. FYI, LP

As mentioned above, casting or tumbling with a ventilated tumbler, you want ventilation. One other consideration might include what your diet is, resulting in Oh a little wind...LOL. Remember: Air movement during loading can cause problems with good scales (sensitive scales), as can...

Tactical Rifles guarantees it's rifles to shoot 1/2 moa, not 1/4 moa. Yes, I am sure they produce many that can make a 1/4. Don't get to wrapped up in 1/4 guaranteed systems....most all of the "better riflesmiths" build and say 1/2 moa but a great share of their rifles can shoot 1/4...

Bobarino, Very wise choices and you have done a great job. Now get ready for the real fun....shooting that sweet rifle. Try some 175 grn SMK rounds, either Federal or Black Hills, the 168's (except A-max) will not do well beyond 800-900 yrds. The 155's and 175's will handle 1000 + yrds...

I would think that using the Surgeon short action the mag/single stiffness issue would be negligible. The receiver is made of a higher quality steel with the picatinny rail being part of the receiver. Add the deeper barrel tenon threading and you"ve reduced a good bit of flex out of the system...

That would be Amanda Elsenboss.................you really wouldn't want to bet against her. Her 2007 US scores: 2007 EASTERN UNITED STATES JUNIOR HIGHPOWER CLINIC AND CHAMPIONSHIP Held at Camp Butner, NC

RN40, In my experience with many different .308W and Varget loads, I seem to get lazy and take a 168 SMK and load 43.5 grns and get very good results. I've worked up loads for many friends and seem to find the node around 43.5 +/- .3 grns for a 24 inch barrel. A little less on a 26 inch...

MMCSRET, I've used Gunstop on multiple occassions and will continue to do so. I've purchased brass, tools and special order items. The price was competitive and the service was excellent. It is a smaller more personalized service, possibly one person "John" as I recall. LP

chriso, Your asking a question that is difficult to answer verbally. I highly suggest that if possible you get down behind each stock before you make the investment. Please advise us of your location, as someone may be near you that can let you try. I have a few of each of the stocks, plus...

As Mattw suggested. Contact GA Precision in N. Kansas City, Ks. Your M40 would probably be built by Eric Reed USMC 2112. You can discuss the whole project and gets leads for glass or have them supply all (correct glass & mounts, etc). If your into building an M40A1 why not stay with the...
