Hey guys, I am going to try and resize 308 palma brass down to 6XC. I had a few spare minutes today to practice with some Win brass I had. My question is do I just have to go slow and keep neck turning/trimming the brass to keep from dimpling the shoulders and wrecking cases? Or is there a...

Always the small details that get a guy!

Well I walked it yesterday and it came out to 450 yards or so. So redoing my math I got 35.5 inches of drop. The hornady ballistics table said 38 inches with the load data I gave. Being that its 2-3 moa ammo at 100 I would say that's more then close enough at 450 yards. Looks like my range...

Hi guys. Yesterday I was shooting at what I believe was 320 yards. Shooting crappy fmj ammo to get some brass for reloading. They chrono about 3,075fps out of my ar. I am using a vortex hst 4-16x44 with mil reticle and mil adjust. I just swapped scopes so I zeroed at 20 yards then went to 320. I...

I agree that at least at short range seating depth plays a factor. I'm just shooting a little .223. But I had loads from 2.260 to 2.215. The 2.215 group 3 at 3/8s with a flyer at 1/2in. The really bad flyer in the group was all my fault. The 2.260 did 5 at 3/4 of an inch or so. But nothing in...

I have a dpms bull 20 upgraded with ambi controls and hiperfire trigger. Lead in the stock and a new grip. Supposedly came with the mil spec bolt and feed ramps. The gun has zero slop between upper and lowers. It looks really good shoots just as good. I will put it up against any ar that costs...

Hi guys, I'm working on a load for my 20 bull barrel ar15. I started out doing the ladder test with the powder charges. Sweet spot is 25-25.2 grains benchmark with speer varmints 52 grains. Will my powder charge need to be tweaked due to a seating depth change or does that not matter? Gun...

Just west of grand forks a hop and a skip

NW MN here

NE ND here

i have the scope in the 44mm version and not that LR model. its on my ar15, and its been abused a good fair amount and still is super clear with sharp lines and good definition. Have used it for about 6 months now and its been the best scope i have had to date

Hiperfire 24c is what I use. Had a JP trigger before and this is hands down much better. Has a smoooooth take up and crisp break. Supposed to be a good rapid fire trigger also if that kind of shooting floats your boat. Haven't compared it to others in the same price range but I wouldn't hesitate...

Hey guys, I have the cabelas model savage 110 t .308 cal, pretty much its a 24in bull barrel model 10 with the accustock. I have a leoupold 4-12x44 on top of it but with my plastic stock its VERY front heavy to say the least. It gets worse with the addition of my bipod. I saw mercury recoil...

Thank you for the info guys! The detail was really good. I think the die did get brass in it as the scoring diminished as I did more shells (with lube of course!) So to measure shoulder bump back does a person use a caliper, micrometer, or??? And should I only do that every 2-4 firing and...

I was reading here on the net that some people use a FL die as a partial neck sizing die. This is a new caliber for me to reload and have only did a little bit of .223 before this. So I thought this might increase case life, be easier on the brass, etc. It is just a RCBS FL die, I'm using...
