Re: Question on bullet seating length and powder charg Good reply, Bob and thanks. I'm doing it because in service rifle competition, I can load single rounds in slow fire prone at 600 yds. If it gives me an edge, then I'll take it. I can usually put most of them in the ten ring at 600 in...

Hey guys, Glenn Zediker says in his "Handloading for Competition" book to back a powder charge off by 1/2 grain when you seat the bullet to the lands. But he doesn't say when to increase the powder charge back to normal. Do you always keep it 1/2 grain under? If it shoots well touching the...

Re: Micrometer type dies Forster recently made their dies way easier to read. They are easier to read now than the reddings. I own both forster and redding micro seater dies and I like the Forsters way better. Here's why: 1.Forster is lockable at any setting. Can't do that with a redding...

Re: It says a lot about a forum... I liked this country better before all this political correctness came along. We've become a country of wusses. I'm not a respecter of persons. I say things as I see them. I do not purpously try to offend people, but at the same time I say things as they...

Re: Hornady Concentricity Gage They are pretty easy to make, too. get a v block from a machinist supply like enco and put a dial indicator on it. A set up tool with magnetic base works well.

Re: Big Difference Between these M1A's? Nitro69: Didn't make it to perry this year. Plan on it next. Was having a rifle built and ordered it back in june and it wasn't ready for perry. Didn't think it would take that long. I could have taken an AR-10 or one of my 14's (which I love and they...

Re: Big Difference Between these M1A's? Nobody is winning with 14's today. The most used gun in service rifle is the AR-15 for several reasons. The m14 and AR-10's are hard to shoot clean in offhand; they are just too heavy. Furthermore, they knock you more out of position in sitting and...

Re: Need info on spotting scopes with Mil Dot reticles Thou art correct, sir. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Never assume. SWFA told me the same thing. Now I've got it from two horses mouths instead of just one. Now another gross assumption: how can I cut something already so small into tenths...

Re: Need info on spotting scopes with Mil Dot reticles I don't think that makes sense. That would be 60 full mils of windage and elevation, each. Seems like a lot.
