+1 It's beyond me how the Constitution got drug into this discussion. As a 40+ year RCBS customer, I wish them the best.

Bore scoping with a piece of brass in the chamber gives you a relative length of the chamber w/r to that piece of brass. I suppose you could let your brass grow until it gets close and measure that length. The only downside is not all chambers are the same, and some over spec brass could...

I had to chuckle when I read the statement from Revelyst regarding the sale: "Revelyst will use proceeds from the sale to enhance the operational efficiencies of the company’s power brands, evaluate bolt-on acquisitions, and invest in maker-fueled innovation and organic growth." If anyone can...

I saw a couple of references to Blue Dot with 125's. Alliant says not to do that: https://www.alliantpowder.com/getting_started/safety/safety_notices.aspx The OP mentioned that he might consider 125's and Blue Dot is on his shelf. Just sayin...

That looks like a solid unit, and from what I could tell from the Ebay description the manufacturer seems to care about his product. I could never find the right combination using drills/power screw drivers to comfortably power my Forster trimmer. So I made my own. Bear in mind that I have...

At 2K rounds a year that powder will be gone in 4 or 5 years. It's not worth fretting over, especially considering his storage situation, which seams ideal.

Great idea!

The 1:10 twist and perhaps mag length are limiting factors for the super long high BC bullets. But the original 6.5-08 wildcat was conceived by long range shooters who had faster twist barrels and single loaded. Remington could have done a better job developing the .260 but that's another...

Here's a better shot of the full press:

I started out on Belding and Mull equipment that I inherited from a great-uncle. It came with some 1940's B&M manuals so I guess that is when he bought it. Press, neck sizing only. Set up for decapping on a 30-06 case: sizing dies and expander's, .22, .25, and .30: Shell "holders"...

Many people advocate a "sub-6" or line of white. Reason being if you want to focus on the front sight you're not distracted about trying to also precisely line-up at six or center mass on the target. I keep telling myself that I should try it in rifle also, but I'm too set in my ways to...

+1. They were like $450 new direct from Bushnell, probably some shipping tacked on too. Can't remember. I've never heard anything bad about them. I have one but only took it out once. I got rid of the rifle that it was on, so it's sitting in the box for the moment...

I've always shot 140's in mine. IMR 4831 works very well with those. I did have a load with IMR 4895 that had the same zero at 100 that the 4831 had at 200. I'm sure that you can figure out something good with your H4895.

I bought 1500 .30 175 SMK's when the M118 pull down components were on the market. Couldn't pass up .20 each. I've only shot a couple hundred so far. Maybe I'll find a use for the rest some day. In the meantime, they do come in handy for home made trigger weights. 40 175's weigh 1 pound, a...

But you had to fan the flames, didn't you :p

That's actually pretty good! I shot my first CMP match of the year last Sunday. Got a 69 standing, with a miss. :cuss: I've never been a very good offhand shot but that's ridiculous. I'm going to shoot some air rifle tomorrow and maybe practice on the 200 yd. steel hanger with my AR if it...

Alliant claims "consistent at all temperatures".

That is the die that enabled me to put my FCD on the shelf, not because its cool looking, but because it's tolerances are so tight that they seat the bullets straight every time. Cast bullets are slightly oversized and a little tilt gave me problems. The micrometer seating is definitely a...

That's a pretty broad topic. Some more details will get you better recommendations.

That's my load too, albeit w/ Hornady's. I've never shot mine from the bench, but that load is capable of cleaning the 300 yd. MR-63 target which has a 2 MOA 10 ring, shot prone w/ a sling.
