    80 gr Sierra's

    Re: 80 gr Sierra's I've never seen it. If anyone is at all, it would have to be a long barrel. 20 inch or shorter and I'd say don't waste time trying. I've had 75gr JLKs shoot very well in a 9 twist bolt gun with a 24" barrel. A 75 is marginal in a 20" 9 twist AR though. Some say it will...

    223 Remington with Dillion 550

    308 Lapua vs. Federal brass volume?

    Re: 308 Lapua vs. Federal brass volume? If you're using both, take a fired case of each, with the primer still in it. Weigh the case empty and record that, or hit the tare or zero on your scale. Then fill the case with water and record the weight. Do that for each. You'll see the...

    Movie Theater Top Sniper - Military Channel

    Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel Good show. And it was good to see a couple guys I've shot with on TV. I'm sure our NorCal guys are taking tips from it for some evil stages to come in our matches.

    Load suggestions, model 70 223?

    Re: Load suggestions, model 70 223? In the 50 -55 gr bullet range, you could also try AA2230. I had great luck with it and 52 gr sierras. 2230 is a ball powder, so it meters well. With the lighter bullets, I'd stick with ball powders for ease of metering if you're loading progressive. You...
