    zimmer liked post by grandpamac On thread : Loose projectile
    Greetings All, I think dannyb has nailed it. The projectiles are seated too deep and the neck can't get a good grip on the projectile. Also seating the FL size die hard down on the shell holder...

    zimmer liked post by Roarless20 On thread : W760 any good?
    Absolutely if shooting 300m or less but OP was also asking about using it in the 7wsm which is likely to be used for long range where the potential poor velocity consistency will cause him trouble....

    As a small time Sako L46/L461(Vixen)/75/85 collector (l have 11 in 222/223/222 Rem Mag) I’d strongly recommend you keep it original at this stage. Once it is unoriginal it will always be that and...

    Personally while I disagree with scalping, we do no have auctions on here. So if the seller lists something that is at a price that you feel is excessive or offensive, you have the choice to not buy...

    zimmer liked post by Pommy On thread : Fawwwwk!!!
