Exactly what I do. Works great and bass is ultra shiny.

I‘m using 24.0 Gr of TAC with 69 SMK.

I was battling this for almost a year. Tried sizing down in steps, Lee neck sizing die, different lubes, annealing, turning necks. Here is what helped: 1. Annealing 2. Replacing the Redding bushings with Wilson bushings in my Redding FL S Bushing die. The Wilson bushings brought my...

I am building a custom .223 AI. Barrel: 30" 1:7 twist Krieger, which I want to be able to shoot out to 1,000 yards (although 600 or so will be the majority of what I shoot). I will be shooting 80 grain projectiles (80-85). It was suggested by Pacific Tool to go with the .110 freebore...

No....It is 223 rem match,

Having a custom. 223 built. Want to shoot at 1,000 yards using 80 Gr to 90 Gr. projectiles. (80 gr smk, 80 gr amax, 80 gr berger vld, 82 gr berger bt, 90 gr berger vld). I want more power than a plain. 223. So, would you guys go with the 223 Ackley Improved OR 223 REM MATCH and...

Yes. But what's the big deal. In a few rounds, you'll know where the new node is for your new projectile.

I don't like the SEC much, but I like USC even less. Glad to see USuC opening with a powerhouse opponent instead of the usual girl scout team they usually play. Hope BAMA kills them.

I've reloaded over 1/2 million rounds through my Dillon & RCBS over the past 30+ years. I am very meticulous, especially with powder charges. Yes, I still get a tad nervous when I change procedures in trying something new. I'm working up a new load for .223 using Berger 70 Gr VLD.......I'll...

My daughter drops everything on the staircase. She is almost 16. Every so often I say something and she cleans it all up. But generally I leave it alone. She's a great kid, excels at school, and gives us no trouble at all This is a battle we choose not to pick with her. Maybe your...

I called the seller and spoke directly to him. He makes these machines in his shop. He was very nice and knowledgeable. You can vary the speed of the rotating plate and the shells will also rotate due to a 6 degree cut in the plate. He also said if there are any problems to just call him...

I have not been in the military, but know many who are. They are away from their families due to deployment. I'm talking missing years of watching their children grow. That time can never be replaced. You are educated, but dissatisfied with your current career. So, rather than let the...

Last night I was talking with a Hide member and he was very favorable towards using Quickload software. I have heard this from some other members of a gun club I belong to out here. The cost is about $150.00 (quickload quicktarget software), and I am thinking there will be quite a learning...

Thanks. It's going to be a long 6 mos or so.

I really like the .223 round, so I decided to have one built. My 2nd custom (next year sometime) will be a 7mm/284. Here's the build and work to be performed: Base Remington 700 Timney Calvin Elite Trigger 6oz-2lbs McMllan A3 stock, SA, RH, spacer system and adjustable cheekpiece Krieger SS...
