    Maybe I'm a Pollyanna, but would rather be a glass half-full person than half empty. I just reckon it seems a positive change compared to the previous situation. Oh well......

    In regards to the 6.5 x 55 i use the 308 size shell holders. Luckily the only chambering they don't fit is the 204. I have another set for my 300nm. I wouldn't be with out them as once I listened...

    Not only that, but the same shell holder may not fit different brass for the same caliber. Case in point, the Lee Shellholder designated by Lee for 7x57mm Mauser would not accept my RWS brass. I...

    grandpamac I find when I am doing that size, try in action, adjust die a bit more routine, I use a fresh case at each die adjustment change. I don't continue to use the same case. I have found in the...

    I use spacer washers like Skip's Shims. I cutthem out from an old soft drink or beer can. The alloy of the beer/soft drink can wall is 0.004" thick.

    Scuse my ignorance but how the hell do you reliably measure to 1 thou repeatedly? I can take 10 measurements with either digital or dial calipers and luckybto get the same reading sequentially. Yes I...

    Ease. You can follow the die instructions (touching the shell holder + a quarter turn or whatever) and all you need to do to get that minimal shoulder bump is select the appropriate shell holder. If...

    Hi GPM I have had the Redding Competition Shell Holders set to suit the 308 family for about 15 years. I was a bit disappointed in them eg the +4 and +6 have only 1 thou difference between them...

    Other than using MOA/inches as a rough idea of group size I don't use them for anything else. As I always have a range finder there is no need to trying ranging a target with the reticle, and every...

    That aint right. Zero at 200m You will be 2-3inch high at 100m 6-12 inch low at 300.

    Thanks chainsaw. Guncity didn’t have any 280 at all today and 3006 was low. Tons of 308, 270 and a bit of 6.5 in store with another shipment from Hornady due in 4 weeks. I didn’t check 7mm rem mag,...

    Thanks Beetroot. The CTR in 6.5 with a 24 inch barrel seems to be getting a lot of love from what I’ve read. I do like the look of the new T3x super Varmint in the rough tech stock as it’s also...
