My RCBS scale just "died". I know I could send it to PACT but I don't want to wait for their part time person to fix it. I would like recommendations on the most accurate powder scale and dispenser. I do a lot of reloading so I need top quality equipment. Thanks in advance for your help...

I have an older Remington 700 Sendero in a short action. The trigger has two slotted screws on the front of the trigger. Does anyone know how to adjust these to make the 4# trigger pull a bit lighter? All help and instructions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Merry Christmas and...

I have a Weatherby Mark V, in .257 Weatherby Magnum, heavy barrel and I want to put an IOR Scope on it. The IOR is 35mm and has Weaver/Picatinny(SP) rings. The problem is when I mount the scope to the gun I am unable to get the cross hair to center, either height or horizontally. I just...

I'm looking for bases for an IOR scope to put on my .257 Weatherby Magnum, Mark 5. The scope has rings 35mm that are supposed to fit a Pacatinny style base. Does anyone have a Weatherby Magnum with a Pacatinny style base? I'm looking for a source. Brownells and Midway, say no. Thank you for...

If you set up a goal to take a Whitetail deer at 1000 yards which gun manufacturer would want and which caliber? Please no .50 BMG. Kenney Jarrett seems to have a great reputation. Thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Sure I can get closer than 1000 yards but making a very long shot might be...

I've asked this around before, but thought I would try again. I have a Weatherby Varmintmaster in .308 Winchester. Commercial loads shoot fine, if you can find them at a reasonable price. Military brass with a case length of 2.005", shooting a Sierra Matchking 175 grains starts to stick in...

If you were building a gun would you select Stainless Steel, Chromemoly, or???? This is strictly information for accuracy. I realize that some metals are more sensative to temperature and each material has it's quirks. Some quirks are good and some are bad. All recommendations are...

I'm considering the purchase of a Cooper Rifle from Montana. They show a target that has a very tight group. I realize the scope is 36x and shot from a rest. Has anyone found their guns to be top quality and as accurate as described? I'll be getting a centerfire somewhere between a 7mm? and...

I have seen a rifle with a 1x8" twist rate. What would be the advantage or disadvantage of a 1x8" twist rate verses a 1x10" twist rate? I would imagine the faster twist would shoot the 200+ grain bullets fairly well. Would the faster twist rate stabalize a bullet better at longer distances...

By the best, I mean, the most accurate. I want to replace my Kimber BP Ten II with a new barrel and need some suggestions. Since I do not have a mill I would like suggestions on tools tha would be needed. I have a lot of time and a lot of patience to sit and just slowly work with the barrel...

Military, being IMI and L.C. seal their bullets using tar. I've tried this and for some reloads it works fine. Has anyone tried anything else besides the really expensive "finger nail polish"? In Missouri it does rain or snow during hunting season. Actually this year I think it's rained...

I purchased 500, 7mm STW (Winchester) casings only to find that 80%+ were approximately .005-7" shorter than the recommended "trim to length". That would make the bullet opening uneven for reloading. Also I purchased 500, 7mm Remington Magnum (Winchester Casings). Approximately 20% of these...

I am considering the purchase of the Outers Foul Out 3 Bore Cleaning System. This unit would be used to clean everything from handguns to semi-auto rifles. Has anyone had experience with this unit? All opinions appreciated. I am religious about cleaning my guns with a brush if the gun is...

I am considering the purchase of either a Weatherby Mark V Accumark or a Mark V Fibermark Composite in .257 Weatherby Magnum. Has anyone had any experience with either of these two rifles? If so what do you get for accuracy at 100 yards with, say, a 100 grain bullet? Opinions and all help is...

I'm looking for a good aftermarket trigger for the Weatherby Mark V-Varmint Master. Since Canjar is no longer in business I need another source. I like a 3-3.5 lb pull and a wide trigger. The factory trigger has about a 5 pound pull. Does anyone know a company that could fill these needs...

I have a Weatherby .257 Weatherby Magnum Rifle. When I reload Norma Brass to near maximum loads 72.5 grains of MRP the primer pockets expand and the primer falls out. This load is below the maximum from Norma. Even down to 72 grains the primer feels loose. Has anyone else experienced this...
