    Neck bushing size census for Barnes .284 LRX

    I was just trying to save you from buying a bunch of bushings or buying a different size later overpaying on bushings. Fwiw, with Peterson Brass and 140 gr hammer hunters i use a .310 and an expander mandrel.

    Best 308 mountain rifle under $1500

    If it were me I’d buy a Tikka, order a carbon McMillan or AG Composites stock, send to a smith for bedding and call it a day. Throw the M Carbo trigger spring in while you’re taking it apart.

    New Rifle Build

    Ok before I finalize my order with Manners, I wanted to post my build sheet and have you guys get out the red pens.

    Meat! Chambered Vacuum Sealer

    We use alibaba for our packaging, I can tell you that the freight on these would be a nightmare. Your costs would likely double or triple.

    Best reloading book for beginners

    Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting by Bryan Litz. It’s not a reloading manual but it’s got a ton of great information.

    Anyone else frustrated with reloading?

    Anyone else frustrated with reloading?

    I anneal every firing, i don't know that it is an absolute must but I feel like consistent results come from consistent procedures. I typically wet tumble, resize (don't expand necks yet), corn cob to remove lube, anneal, expand necks and then go about priming and loading.
