    Tip Redding although being top of the line dies, provide a barbaric locking ring system, that will damage the thread of your dies. Solution insert a fine piece of shotgun shot into the thread then...

    Fully agree. Redding - fantastic dies, crap locking ring system. I've replaced all Redding locking rings with the much more useful Hornady Die Locking Rings that don't have any mechanism contact with...

    Had a bloody good run out of my olight for the last 4 years, seen deer past 1k, runs all night. Would be absolutely perfect if it had abit wider beam but other than that I can't complain

    Don't forget this bit. Without any further instruction it's odd-on that Gunworks would cut the freebore to have your dummy rounds just touching the rifling. If you then decide to experiment with...

    It depends on what you are after? As a "bang flop" cartridge I think a 308 has the edge,for flat shooting and mild recoil/little blast the old Swede is hard to beat. I have a couple and have had a...

    Better performance than a Creedmore, more capacity. Under rated, in a modern rifle with modern barrel they are bloody good (but not trendy)

    FYI you have the bullet siiting too deep into your vernier jaws. It's is not reading a correct measure. Your actual length will be longer than 3.2".
