    Just starting to record my shots, but why?

    Re: Just starting to record my shots, but why? I am no expert by any means, but I will tell you how I use my data book. First, I have found that using a data book helped cure me of just going out and blazing through ammo. I take the time to read wind direction and dope for it, plot my shots...

    Member Link Up Anyone in Phoenix with chronograph?

    I probably need to buy one at some point, but I have other places my money is going. I need just to send some of my reloads through a chrono so I can accurately use ballistic software. Anyway, if anyone happens to land at Ben Avery on a saturday and would help me out, it would be much...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns GRAPHIC - Charging bore with 1911

    Re: GRAPHIC - Charging bore with 1911 I have seen this posted elsewhere on this forum so this isn't an original thought... Isn't it funny how we get wrapped around ethics? Shoot an animal more than once, make a bad shot and gut shoot it, take 7 rounds to finish off a hog and we have a...

    are you required to exit vehicle if asked by cops

    Re: are you required to exit vehicle if asked by cops eleaf, I understand what you mean, although I didn't mean it in the manner you took it. I guess a more appropriate phrasing would have been legal justification. Just because someone doesn't think an officer has legal justification to do...

    Will any Pda work for ballistic software?

    Re: Will any Pda work for ballistic software? My budget isn't much, I have been spending money on other upgrades...around $200 maybe? Don't know if it can be done for that...

    Will any Pda work for ballistic software?

    So I am looking at a ballistic program and have used the search here for some info. I am thinking about grabbing a pda and loading a ballistic program on it, but I am pretty out of it computer wise. I know I could use an Iphone, but I don't have one and it isn't in the budget. There are lots...

    are you required to exit vehicle if asked by cops

    Re: are you required to exit vehicle if asked by cops I think it is funny when people display the same attitude as tube snake here- "isn't there someone out murdering or raping some person, and you are here harrassing me?" Truth is, if LoneWolf or any of us LE had bigger, better fish to fry...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 situation. Your opinions?

    Re: 1911 situation. Your opinions? Dan Wesson makes a very good gun, fit and finish are wonderful. They have really gone up in price over the last several years...I am still kicking myself for passing on a Razorback in 10mm 6 years ago when it was still around $800. I have 2 thoughts on...

    Help choosing cheek rest

    Hey guys, right now I have a Mcmillan A2 stock (used to think it was a3 until I checked the website)on my Savage. This stock came with the rifle, had it been mine original purchase I would have opted for a stock with adjustment. Anyway, I am needing some comb adjustment and am torn between...

    What is acceptable accuracy for a Savage 10FP 308?

    Re: What is acceptable accuracy for a Savage 10FP 308? I have a Savage fp with a 20" barrel in a Mcmillan A3 and Rifle Basix trigger. I only shoot groups when I am developing loads, however it is nice to see how tight I can shoot sometimes. I shot a 6 round group the other day with my new...

    mini 14

    Re: mini 14 I inherited one from my Dad when he died last year, an older 80's model with a wood stock. When I was a kid I used to dream about owning it, just cause it was my Dad's. I saw him take several deer with it after his '06 was stolen. It is pretty accurate up to about 100 yards...

    What happened here?

    Re: What happened here? After reading all the comments, I agree that I think it is probably that my seating die is screwed in too far. I will try that as well as lubing my expander and will let you know if that solved the problem. Thanks guys, it is good to have this quick resource...

    What happened here?

    Re: What happened here? Gene- I am not lubing beyond spraying the lube onto the casing, I will try lubing the inside of the neck. Binder- I am just using basic RCBS dies, no neck tension adjustment. How can I adjust for that?

    What happened here?

    Re: What happened here? Thanks Turbo for adding the pics. I should also add, I use Hornady case lube, this brass sized without any resistance. I also inspected my bullet seater die and checked for case lube or dirt buildup and did not see anything of note.

    What happened here?

    So I loaded up some 178 amax to do some development with and had some time at my dept range today. I have been shooting 175smk but looking to see if my gun likes the amaxs as well. So I go to chamber a round and it won't chamber. I look at it and see rounding of the shoulder...weird. Next...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind read- More important at gun or target?

    Re: Wind read- More important at gun or target? So if I am reading this correctly, I should be first working to make an accurate read at the gun (I do not have electronics to measure this so it is all estimation), then begin to pay more attention to wind throughout the flight path, especially...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind read- More important at gun or target?

    When shooting the other day out to 625yds my buddy and I were trying to decide where the wind has the most effect on the bullet, at the gun or target. I assumed (just a rookie guess) that wind would have more effect on the bullet the closer to the target, as the bullet is losing velocity...

    Rifle Scopes Elite 10x or SS 10x

    Re: Elite 10x or SS 10x I just picked up a SS 10x, I really really like it. Opening the box I was instantly impressed, the scope is very sturdy and glass is clear. The parallax is a huge plus. If I had more time before buying I would have waited on the mil/mil version, but I am not unhappy at...
