    Redding S bushing sizes

    Looked at these to step up from my Lee dies. Looking at the Match set. These are for .223 Remington and SMK 69gr. Also for 7mm Magnum with 168gr or 180gr Berger VLD. One recommendation says .002, or .003 less than width of brass. I am hoping to not have to buy 4 of these. I use...

    Black Hills Shooters

    They are the importer of Norma products. I wanted to ask them if the import the 123gr FMJ for .323 caliber. Their website says to fax them license. So I need a class 6?

    Husqvarna mauser scope clearance

    My brother bought a Burris Fullfield II scope for his Husqvarna deer rifle. This is a mauser style rifle with the safety on the back of the bolt assembly. I think it is called a wing safety. Well the new scope doesn't clear the safety. He is using very tall see-through rings. I think they are...

    DPMS trigger reset sticking

    I have a new DPMS Panther bull 20. I think it is a basic AR trigger, not the JP upgrade. After a trigger pull, the trigger does not return all the way. I have to push the trigger forward for it to fire again. Is the trigger defective? Do I just need to break it in more? Is there some adjustment...

    Cabela's Pine Ridge Scopes

    My dad has had great success with his Cabela's Pine Ridge scope for his .22-250. The turrets have been a lot of fun to dial in for long yardage shots. So my brother went out and got a Pine Ridge for his 270 Winchester. The scope came with 270 130gr and 150gr turrets as well as 300 Win Mag...

    Remington pump 22 S|L|LR

    Bought my dad a brand new Remington 22 pump. I think it is the 572 Fieldmaster. I bought him several types of ammo for it. CB's, Aguila (those slow ones), Winchester LR, and Remington LR. He is having issues feeding the CB shorts reliably. Are these guns finicky on loading? Is there a good...

    So I have been using really old brown rice I found in back of pantry for some months now. I got some pecan shell from my dad, he has 2 trees. I dumped out the rice and dumped in the pecan shell. I threw my 7mm Mag (loaded) in there and ran 'em for about an hour. Stuff looks great. Better than...

    Unknown Lee Pro 1000 bushing

    I took the shellplate carrier apart tonight to clean. I have a very small bushing. I looked around in the carrier and can't see where to put it. Lee instructions came up short. Where does it go?
