This still for sale?

would u take 2k?

This past winter I did a test of 300WM Winchester brass in my Ruger PR to see how many loads I could get from this "cheap brass". I pay close attention to neck tension....usually try for a .0015 neck tension in all my rifles. I minimally neck size with a Redding bushing die only to the point...

Is this still available?

does it have zero stop?

This bench looks remarkably similar to the one I built 5 or 6 years ago. I decided to use only 1 leg in the rear to make it more stable when the ground is not level.....which is true about 100% of the time. 4 legs will always rock one way or the other....3 legs will stabilize as soon as they hit...

I built my portable bench with three legs and it's rock solid wherever I set it. I even put three legs on my stool for the same reason. Four legs will always rock unless your legs are exactly the same length and the ground is perfectly flat.

I use HBN coating for all my bullets with the exception of lead tipped. I use 2 40 oz plastic peanut butter jars which fit perfectly between the flats of a thumlers tumbler barrel. Bullets coat perfectly in 1 1/2 to 2 hours tumbling time. Using win brass and CFE223 powder I am getting 2875 fps...

Upacreek.....certainly agree with your reasoning. I love all kinds of shooting....tho I have lost my taste for competitive shooting over the years.....too much stress and not enough fun.

RGMeddn So far I have used both the vld target and hunter in 168 and the 180 Hybrid....all bullets were seated to within .005 of lands........accuracy has been consistent sub 1/2 moa and no excessive pressure within the loads I have listed.

AZShooter I got 3210fps with acceptable pressure....was not interested in going much farther as the SD's were single digit and accuracy was excellent.

Just got back from the range after shooting some test loads w/180gr Berger Hybrids Load was 71.5gr Retumbo, Fed210M primer, bullets seated to within .005 of lands. All 4 5-shot 100yd groups were sub 1/2 moa. Average velocity was 3130fps out of 29" bbl with SD of 9fps. Tried 72.0 gr of Retumbo...
