    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    My 5R is very good with 47.5gr of 2000MR and 175SMK or 178 Amax. My gun does not like the bullet touching the lands, so stay with the OAL of 2.81" or around there. Another load is with 43.3gr of R15. My gun hated Varget and the 178Amax combination until I found correct OAL. The 175SMK is...

    Nephew needs prayers

    Tyler was moved from ICU to a stroke recovery floor a few minutes ago. He suppose to start rehab tomorrow. The doctors think fiberous(sp) tissue on his corotid artery is what caused the problem. They do not plan to remove it. Aspirin therapy is supposed to be the long term solution...

    Nephew needs prayers

    The doctors had Tyler stand some today 20 seconds at a time. Any movement for him seems like a marathon. He's able to somewhat move his left leg and arm. Any improvement is awesome. His back and neck hurt which could be from being in a bed for so long. He wants to go home and I don't blame...

    Nephew needs prayers

    Thank you for all the prayers! He was lucky to be airlifted to U of M so quickly. They have been awesome in all regards with Tyler and his family. One of his best friends and family drove 9 hrs to spend the weekend with him. My wife said he was smiling and laughed, which is a great sign...

    Nephew needs prayers

    I'll let him know many others are praying for him! The doctor have changed his meds to help with the swelling in his head and with the headaches. They say there's some improvement but it will be a long rode.... I never imagined this would happen to someone so young. Darn phone seems to add...

    178 amax load for 20-24" 5r 11.25 inch twist

    My loads for that gun with the 178Amax or 175 SMM are: 43.3 gr of Reloader 15 43gr Varget 47gr 2000MR I tried everything to get this bullet to shoot well in my 5R. In mine, it prefers 2.800 length rather than jammed or close to the lands. With Varget I found CCI primers work best...

    45 ACP Powder Choice

    As I mention above, WST Iis great for 45ACP. But it works well also in 9mm, 38 super, and 38 special. My 45 load is 4.3 gr with 200gr WST. It shoots well in my 8 different 45 ACP's.

    45 ACP Powder Choice

    I've used a lot of the choices above but use WST. It's cleaner than Bullseye and less temperature sensitive than 231. Lot to lot is consistent as well. For 45 ACP, WST should be the main one to consider.
