Re: 338 lapua mag I have used IMR 4350 with 300g. SMK's and groups averaged .5 to .75 MOA. I switched to Retumbo at 89.0 grains and groups went to .25 to .5 MOA. This is with a Armalite AR-30 and Norma brass. Next time I will get Lapua brass, Norma is a little too soft. myerfire

Re: 338 neck tension I'm using Norma brass and 300g. SMK's and I use a Redding 366 bushing. myerfire

Re: Discoloration on brass heads from US cleaning? I use Citranox in my Ultra Sonic machine and don't have any problems, brass comes out nice and shinny. Try to reduce the ammount of vinegar and see what happens. Good luck, myerfire

Re: Daughters first deer. I always enjoy reading stories like this. Thanks for sharing. myerfire

Re: UltraSonic Brass Cleaning I have tried home recipes and also Birchwood Casey's case cleaner, but I found that Citranox does the best job. myerfire

Re: 4" GROUP AT 100 YDS!!!! WHAT THE HECK? I would get a primer pocket uniforming tool. They are not that expensive, easy to use and only takes a few seconds to use. It is a recommended procedure in Glen Zediker's books. myerfire

Re: Annealing method discussion I have felt that after annealing, accuracy suffers for the first reload. after that, accuracy returns. It's possible that it is all just me. I guess this leading up to another excuse to get a annealing machine for better consistency. myerfire

Re: Prometheus Generation 2 That sure is a beautiful piece of equipment and I would love to own one. If I had one, it would give me one less excuse for a lousy grouping. myerfire

Re: Do you shoot your AR in the rain? If it is raining, I cover my target with saran wrap. I want to be comfortable and familiar with all conditions, not just the ideal condition. myerfire

Re: Remington 40x rifles I have a 40-XB Tactical in 308. I like it now that I put a Jewell trigger in it. It generally shoots .4 to .8 MOA, but like crisj said about getting a custom build, that is what I will do next time. myerfire

Re: AR-10 owners A good test is to measure 5 rounds or so, put them in a magazine and cycle them through and then measure them again. My opinion is that if you want to be sure the bullet is not going to move, you need to crimp it. I use .003, any less and it won't hold tight enough, any more...

Re: Your Input on Lake City's M855 SS109 ammo Ammoman.com has 2009 production LC, 1000 rnds for $449 and that is the delivered price. I bought some a couple years ago, still have about 975 rnds left. Saving the rest for a SHTF situation. myerfire

Re: JP LRP-07 I only have one JP LRO-07, the machineing on the bolt is so incredibly smooth, it feels like glass. It did some .5 and .6 MOA groups at 200 yards last Friday. JP makes an excellent product. myerfire

Re: AR 10 AR 10 (Armalite) or AR 10 clone? They are different, you know. myerfire

Re: Compact fluorescent bulbs and electronic scales? I called RCBS a couple years ago and asked about flourescents affecting their digital scale and they said there was no affect on the newer models. Again, this was a couple years ago. myerfire
