    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Reliability?

    Re: 1911 Reliability? I've owned several 1911's, and I have found that some were deserving of their "reputation" for being unreliable and some were the best pistols a guy could ask for. What it came down to was that cheapo 1911's like firestorm, citadel, rock island, sucked. My...

    Hand Loading for Long Range 4: Powderin' it

    Re: Hand Loading for Long Range 4: Powderin' it No, I would not recommend testing the loads at 100 before confirming them at longer range. For the ladder I just got done running, I found a node between 76.5 and 77.5 grains of powder. When I did five shot groups at 500 yards, one group...

    Range Report Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone

    Re: Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone Just bought this app and have been playing with it for an hour or so. It seems great. Is there any chance we could get the litz data for the 60 grain nosler ballistic tip in .224? It's a great hunting bullet.

    Build finally done quite the story, (range pic)

    Re: My build is finally done!!! Quite the story too.. That is sick, I love the AX stock. Also, all the different colors, blued reciever, stainless barrel, black, and fde on the stock, make it look tough. 300 Rum is a lot of horse power, too. Great job on the build.

    Torn between Remington 5R and Remington XCR TLR

    Re: Torn between Remington 5R and Remington XCR TLR I have a 5R in 300 in mag with the 26" barrel. A little bit of insight I can offer: 1. I love that gun. I always heard that the 5R's were shooters, which is why I ordered one. It's a half minute gun. 2. I tried and tried to find a 24"...

    Resizing Belted Magnum Brass

    Re: Resizing Belted Magnum Brass Ouch, just spent $99 for the die plus shipping. Hopefully it arrives quickly, I've got a pile of brasss that needs reworked. What kind of brass life are you guys getting? I've never been able to shrink the belt back, so three firings is about my limit...

    Temp test: AR Comp vs. Varget (308 Win.) + 223 Rem

    Re: Temp test: AR Comp vs. Varget (308 Win.) + 223 Rem That is awesome, I load a lot of varget in my AR's and always wondered about the temperature stability of it as well as other "Extreme" powders. You don't by chance have any information on H1000?

    Bullet damaged when loading a compressed load

    Re: Bullet damaged when loading a compressed load I think you are going to see pressure signs well before getting up to 25 grains with an 80 grain bullet, so I would hold off on ordering a new seating stem.

    Resizing Belted Magnum Brass

    As we all know, the area just ahead of the belt gets bigger and bigger with each firing and eventually makes chambering a loaded round difficult. Has anyone tried the Redding body die? Redding Body Die 300 Win Mag It's only got two reviews, so I thought I would check here as well. I'd also...
