    Greetings All, The evolution of my Remington 700 ADL has been a saga of managing recoil as I age. Purchased new when I was in my 20's it had a hard plastic but plate (I refuse to call it a pad). I...

    Greetings Bumblefoot, Imagine how much better it would have been with your own loads. Next time perhaps. You can dial down the loads as well to reduce both boot and bark. Grandpamac.

    Greetings Bumblefoot, I would definitely hang on to those FL dies. With them you only need to find someone with a press. FL sizing for a .303 takes some care. You only want to size the case just...

    Greetings ebf, I have a BA13 in .308 and have had no problems in spite of using fairly elderly cases. I keep my loads quite low as the rifle is a packable takedown for trips where the primary...
