    zimmer liked post by grandpamac On thread : Working up a Load in a Components Drought.

    zimmer liked post by 7mm Rem Mag On thread : electronic scales
    I paid $1275 for the fx 300i bare scale. Since Im only reloading to hunt I can trickle the load by hand however that V3 system looks great if doing a lot of target shooting

    zimmer liked post by gqhoon On thread : Primer seating depth problems with new Lapua brass ?
    Lapua SRP primer pockets are about .003 deeper than standard (0.122 versus 0.125). You must be crushing your primer anvils a fair bit, normally would set them 0.002-0.006 below case head.

    All of the BSA's are good rifles but in true pommy tradition they started with the best Hunter/Regents/Majestics then went backwards to Monarch and finally the CF2. That is my opinion only but I own...

    zimmer liked post by gundoc On thread : threading odd muzzle
    It can be internally threaded and an adapter made but it must be done on a lathe with a 4-jaw chuck and clocked true with the bore using a neat fitting spud. Any proper gunsmith should whack it out...
