Re: Components anyone? 308 Bruno's currently has 175s in stock in 100 and 500 count boxes.

Re: Components anyone? 308 As of this moment in time, Brownells has 175gr SMKs in stock in 100 count boxes. 5 boxes gets you a quantity discount.

Re: Novice 308 brass questions It depends on what expectations you have in your reloaded rounds. If all you want to do is reload and shoot, taking brass that's in good shape and then properly preparing them for reloading will do. If your interest is in accuracy, that's a different story. The...

Re: La State Prone-F-Class Championship- 10/6 and 7 8k, yes. As always, operator error.

Re: La State Prone-F-Class Championship- 10/6 and 7 That match was just plain awesome fun. 24k rounds down range and I don't think even a spindle drew blood once (despite many of them flying to pieces.) Learned a lot in this match. Rick, you did an outstanding job herding the cats, my friend.

Re: Which seater die seats bullets the straightest? With respect to concentricity I wanted to throw something out: it's a good idea to clean your seating die either before every reloading session or at the end of every reloading session. The tiniest piece of copper jacket lodged up in the...

Re: Chargemaster 1500 combo A buddy forwarded me the reprogramming instructions. I tried it (and the McD's straw) and it made a world of difference throwing consistent charges (checked with a separate milligram scale.) Electrical interference was mentioned. I'd also add to remember a cell...

Re: Rookie Questions You didn't mention what type of shooting you're doing -- application matters a lot. My friend who got me hooked on this bottomless rabbit hole of shooting and reloading told me the same thing others mentioned here: buy once, cry once. I started with a Lee press kit and...

Re: Check Your Seating Depth Carefully Unless maglength is at issue, wouldn't where the ogive sits with respect to the lands be a more important bit of information to determine bullet seating depth into the brass, rather than cartridge OAL? At least that's been my experience in finding...

Re: Which 308 brass? I was where you are right now. When I decided to get serious about shooting competition I asked other competitors what they used. I think you'll find what I did, Lapua brass is most often named. On sale they are about $65/100 and that's what I went with. Is this for a...

Re: Powder Valley-- Is there another option? Every once in a while something will slip -- we're just human, it happens. Considering my great experiences with PV, I'd pick up the phone and call them. Over the long haul, I don't think there's anyone who beats them. My opinion.

Re: Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved! BTW, one of the MDs posted the Palo Alto FPR match rules here: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...131#Post2642131

Re: Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved! The NRA mission statement has changed substantially since inception. What was the driving force is now supporting it's current mission statement. I shoot F T/R with a great bunch of guys at Palo Alto. Two of them started an FPR match on the...

Re: 600 Yard Wind Reading Clinic- SE Louisiana This wind reading clinic was well worth the trip. Rick, I appreciate you setting this up. It was a great turn out. Palo Alto is a fine facility, good folks.

Re: Looking for F-class shooters in Louisiana for info Where in south LA are you? I just started competing at Palo Alto Rifle and Pistol Club ( http://www.paloaltogunclub.com/ ) in Donaldsonville. OUTSTANDING group of people to shoot with. Ping RStewart and/or Ritten for details.
