Rifle is a Tikka T3X UPR chambered in 6.5CM. I just noticed a crack in the stock behind the bolt and have sent in a warranty claim. I have only put a couple hundred rounds through this rifle. Mix of factory 140/147 ELD-Ms and I also did some ladder testing of 147 ELMs over H4350 the other...
Do these marks look like overpressure? I have them on several pieces of peterson 6.5 CM brass. I didn't see it when I was shooting - I just noticed after a clean and inspection. I did have a small amount that were .2 over max but I have these marks on many more that would have been under max...
I would like to get my son involved with some NRL22 type events. I have been to the official NRL22 site and it appears the closest clubs/matches are either Nashville or Kokomo. Does anyone know of any clubs closer to Indy that put on NRL22 or NRL22-like events? I wouldn't mind driving that...
No way I would pay money for that.

Just getting into some PRS/LRS so I will apologize in advance for the barrage of questions. My current focus is on my neck tension process and powder scale accuracy. I have a $70 hornady digital scale and I know for a fact that it is not up to snuff. I started just looking at things like the...
I am really just getting into the precision side of rifle reloading. I am primarily doing 6.5 Creedmor but also reload .223 and .300 although i don't really do precision shooting with those.
For 6.5, I currently use a rock chucker and have the full set of lee dies (includes FL sizer and neck...
Anybody ever do a backpacking/squirrel hunting trip at Deam? I'm thinking about going out for a weekend and going after some reds. If you have been, where did you camp?
I have a 10/22 in a Magpul stock that I meticulously adjusted the scope on to have the proper setup when seated at a bench. I tucked the stock nice and tight into my shoulder, let my cheek fall naturally on the comb and adjusted from there. I want to start doing some prone shooting so I was...
I have a BNIB Tac-Sol 9" barrel that will go on either a Ruger Charger OR a 10/22 takedown (if it is SBRd). I SBRd mine and this is a spare that has never been out of the package. Looking to trade for an unused 16"+ 10/22 bull barrel (not takedown style) or sell outright for $300.
So I need a case trimmer and there are a million out there. I am only doing 223 and 300 BO and I'm looking in the below $200 range. I probably wouldn't do more than 1 or 2k in each caliber per year. I think I have narrowed my options down to either:
The Forster Original...
I have been reloading other cartridges for a while but am just now starting .223. I cleaned up some brass (some of mine + some range pickups, various headstamps) and almost all of them have a single nick/dimple in the neck area. Just curious if anyone has seen this or know what causes it?
Got an email about a new scope from PA. I don't have any PA stuff - does anyone have any idea how this will compare to the Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18? I have my mind set on getting a Sig Cross in 6.5 and am wanting to get some decent glass at the sub 800 price point.
Primary Arms...
What do you suppose is the issue here? I am not 100% positive on brand but I believe it is some very old winchester white box .223. Definitely not reloads. I had it stored in an ammo can - probably 20 years old. On several occasions, I took a shot and got a FTF. Ejected the round and this is...
I had an MRI done on my shoulder not too long ago and the healthcare provider billed $2500 for it. The insurance company negotiated it down to $300. They didn't pay the other $2200, they just only pay $300 and because the provider is in-network, they have to accept that and I get to pay $300...
I brought out my 24" AR15 this past weekend to do some 100 yard plinking. It has an older Mueller 4-16x50 and at 16 power, I noticed a bunch of black specks that I don't recall being there in the past although it has probably been 10+ years since I shot this one. I'm debating whether or not to...
Does anyone recognize this style of handguard? I have a pretty old AR with a 24" barrel that I would like to swap the handguard out for one with M-lock or something so I can run a bipod and I am not 100% sure how to remove it. I am assuming that once I remove the gas block, I can heat the rear...
I loaded up some 300s with Lil Gun to test out this weekend using some Berry's 220 grain plated bullets. Using a Ruger American w/ 16" barrel, it seems like 8 grains was the most accurate and (I think?) slow enough to stay subsonic. I was using CFE BLK which ran well in the AR but seemed noisy...
