    Single Pistol powder for mid range loads with cast bullets in 357,41,44, mags & 45 colt?

    I use Titegroup as Hodgdon claims it's position insensitive. Works great in 357 and 44 in my experience with hard cast bullets.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    Mine will have 80% left after 2 hours. I understand the more you shoot the more it uses the battery vs stand by.

    SD's in .223 /5.56

    That particular load is for my 16" M4 with a red dot so I can't speak to it's accuracy. I do have a load using a 75 RMR with Tac for my WOA 26" upper that is very accurate with a SD around 5.5 for 10 shots. Effective out to 670 yards which is the limit of our range.

    SD's in .223 /5.56

    I found it takes some load development, maybe more so than other cartridges. I worked up a powder charge first then tried different OALs. Aero Precision 16" with 55 FMJBT and Tac.

    New Trimmer Advice

    I really like my Giraud. I picked up this tool to keep my fingers from getting sore.

    reversible moving target motor and electrical systems

    I bought a moving target system from Action Targets years ago. It reverses and runs off a wearable battery pack, a 12 volt battery or the battery in a vehicle. When I get home I'll see what the motor shows. It's not very big.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    With the new update transfered a session to my S21 and was able to read it, etc. Cool. I then downloaded it to the device. However, I can't find that spreadsheet anywhere on the S21. ??? Anyone know where these downloads go?

    LC 556 brass and AMP Aztec codes

    I figure it will be better at 126 than nothing at all.

    LC 556 brass and AMP Aztec codes

    I have over 20 different years of LC 556 and they test between 125 to 127. For mixed LC 556 I use 126. Works fine. I also have a very large batch of LC21 and everytime a primer pocket gets loose I analyze it. So far they are consistently testing at 125. I watched something where Alex said 1...

    seating depth test 8208xbr/77gr smk

    I didn't know what to start with so focused on the powder charge first. For my AR mag length loads I used 2.250" and worked up the charge with Ramshot Tac and found a sweet spot. For single shot long range work I measured the lands and tried the same powder charge but changed the OAL. Best...

    223 80g ELDM 28"

    My 26" WOA AR15 likes 75gr BTHP with a Nato level charge of Ramshot Tac, CCI450 and LC brass. I also get great accuracy, but at lower velocity, with BLC2 and 8208XBR.
