Re: Where are all the Tikka's in 204 Ruger.

Hey, We have them in Canada in .204 for $1699.99. :wink: Same price as a Cooper M21 here. I was on the waiting list but passed for a Cooper.

Re: Coated bullets

I realize the Lock-Eze is a colloidal graphite, so does that mean I can substitute another brand in-place of Lock-Eze?

204 RCBS Trim Pro 3-Way Cutter

Hi, I thought I would ask whether I should invest in one of the above to speed up the brass prep process. Currently I am using the RCBS Trim Pro and manual tools (VLD deburring) to chamfer the edges. I am open to other recommendations to speed up this process.

Re: 270 WSM

I have a 270 WSM Savage Weather Warrior. The rifle shoots less than 1/2" three shot groups. The shells stack and feed very well, no issues at all. This is a non accustock model and I really like the accutrigger. This stock in nothing great but I will see how the new 270WSM with the accustock sh...
