A little over 600yds on a Kentucky Whitetail buck.

Right now Large Rifle primers are unobtainium , 209 primers you can get.... I'm just saying

I'm on barrel number 4 on my 300wm Sendero, it has "harvested" many critters of all sizes and I like shooting it. This last barrel I melonited I'm hoping to get more that 1000rds (typically where I replaced the previous 3) out of it. I can't imagine a semi-auto 300wm, they are known barrel...

I have to hand prime everything going thru the 650, the priming system is pure GARBAGE. Dillon finally figured that out themselves, hence the 750. I've been reloading since 1976 and I enjoy(ed) it until I got the 650, I'm surprised I haven't beaten it to pieces with a baseball bat. The bastards...

I adapt a Hornady or Uniflow powder measure with a Hornady Case Activated Powder Drop. I use TAC powder a very fine ball powder, it leaks, no it rains TAC from the OEM Dillon slides. Without jumping through hoops, buying and lapping aftermarket slides to the Dillon , which I'm not willing to do...

Single biggest thing I did to bring down my SD numbers on 308 and 30-06 Milsurp brass was annealing the brass. It seems that some of that brass is pretty "stiff" . Because you're not just neck sizing or bumping back the shoulder, but most of the time full length sizing for a gas gun you will...

I was one of the last in our club XTC matches to switch to the mouse gun. The Regional Match course is 80 rounds plus 8 sighters 2 per stage. The M14 is hard on brass, I'd usually do 4-5 reloads on virgin brass. I had a 650 Dillon dedicated to turning out 7.52x51mm/.308win for short line ammo...

After a disasterous few days screwing around with the worthless Labradar I was glad I borrowed one before buying it. I couldn't believe how poor of a design and the firmware was absolutely unforgivable. Swore me off of radar type cronos for good. I got a Shotmarker system instead AND YES I...

I had to build my own A4gery (Hey if they can use M4gery) No way I could afford (actually No way the spousal unit would approve) the real deal these days. The CMP Armorers have to approve the "correctness" of the build(s) before we're allowed to compete with them. .... but would I love to have...

A BAR (1918A3) with all USGI parts, and I believe an Ohio Ordnance receiver for $1500. I realized how impractical it is but it is an iconic firearm.

If you pull the Viale range at Camp Perry and get in the midfield section on a bad wind day there seems to be no strategy that works .... It's hard to compete against a mouse gun with no recoil and trying to keep from shooting out the bedding on your M14 is a constant issue. However in tough...

In high gusty full value winds I've seen my buddy shooting a M14 Service Rifle in an XTC match (we were the only 2 still shooting the M14) everyone else including the AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) were shooting the Mouse Gun (AR15/M16) in 5.56/223. My buddy won the match but to give you an idea...

At 10 Benjamins it's double what the OP wants to spend. I'm all for buy once cry once and I like my V4, but there's things I miss from my Charge Master when using the V4.... "a green light does not a beep make" for one, the round count function is another, and yet another is the compactness of...

If you like your Charge Master , you can keep your Charge Master, and unlike your Health Insurance, it's true. The cost of shipping these days makes it a little less appealing, but IIRC for around $200 including shipping this place rebuilt my Charge Master like new. After burning up my CM1500...

I'm a RSO and Instructor at the closest public range to major Metro area. Starting in August the Elmer Fudds start coming out the woodwork. I can promise you 95% of these "Hunters" should never take a shot at a living thing, certainly not passed 100yds. Lucky for the animals it's in the Deep...
