that snake's head fell off.

Do you find that being really close to the lands gives you significant pressure increases? No, but I do all my load work ups with the bullets out as far as I can get them to begin with. I dont pay much attention to whether or not they will fit in the magazine. If they do, fine, if they don't so be it. They usually will fit anyway.

I don't know about the bullet you are using, but with my Amax and SST I have found they like to be real close to the lands but not touching. Maybe start seating it at .280 and work back in .02 increments? I would recommend recording your base to Ogive measurement and using that as your reference rather than base to tip but it's just my preference.

Has anyone seen the 220 grain ELD-X bullets locally?

Yes, a savage prefit

I've already ordered the barrel. I was just wondering if it's normal for mfg to be several weeks beyond their initial quote as far as delivery. It's a criterion 300 WM (match) 28" Vais break Sendero contour

Got mine several weeks ago.

if a felon tries to buy a gun they are supposed to be arrested, not charged $25. But the Obama justice dept refuses to enforce it

When you go to sportsmans warehouse they run the check at the gun counter then walk you to the register to pay. When you buy a gun online you pay first then run the check at pick up I don't think it matters which comes first.

Springfield XD40 You are welcome

You could keep the finish, bluing etc as is and bed the action, run some JB paste through the barrel, upgrade the glass.

Yeah I can buy online but not really into paying $12 for shipping.

Hunt them at night.....DUH

Sweet. I have 15 points in Utah. Hoping I get picked before I'm 80.

Liberal logic

If grand pappy gave you his old truck would you not put new tires and brakes on it? Maybe overhaul the carb, new belts and hoses? Get one of those really small welded chain steering wheels so you can drive with handcuffs on.

I'll probably be the only one in Belize checking Arizona draw results next month.

Is there a real difference between Redding / RCBS / Hornady / Forster full. Length sizing dies? I'm Looking to buy some dies for a new 300 WM rifle. For hunting purposes is there a measurable difference in dies? I will be doing the standard shoulder bump.

I say give it new life and start slaying critters.

12AE first 12AW second

I tried the Redding bushing dies. I didn't see a noticeable difference so I sold it.

I have a set of Forster dies for my 7mag with the micrometer seating die. Makes it real easy to seat just a little bit long and then bump it down to the exact COAL I want. I just hate paying Midways stupid shipping fees. They are hard to find locally.

All the bucks were either killed by Bigbrowns or moved to 6A.
