    MV of Rem Factory cut to 18inch (Hunting?)

    Re: MV of Rem Factory cut to 18inch (Hunting?) Question for Hummer. You say your friend shot a barrel out in 600 rounds. What was he shooting through it to wear it out that quickly? Some of these guys are still shooting well after 5000 to 10,000 rounds. Thought the .308 was a fairly mild...

    media for tumbling

    Re: media for tumbling Lizard Litter. Great stuff it is too. Cleans much better than corn cobb media. I also shaved with a coarse file a bit of brush wheel paste (white is all I have) into the litter. Noticeable difference in appearance of the brass. Sherlok

    Does anyone here not reload?

    Re: Does anyone here not reload? I've been reloading for over 45 years and started with a Lee hand loader in 30.06 which paid for itself in the first box or so I loaded. I've been hooked ever since. Of course now I've accumulated several presses, tools, dies, the works. But the simple hand...

    wide extreme spread

    Re: wide extreme spread That surely makes sense, but how do you close up ES? My rifles group better with IMR4895 and H4895 and they have been mentioned frequently as the powder of choice by many on the Hide for these respective calibers. Cases are prepped well, the charges weighed manually...

    wide extreme spread

    I have extreme spreads (ES) exceeding 70 fps on my loads, yet they group consistently less than moa out to 300 yards (my current range limit) in my 700 SPS Tacticals in .308 and .223. The loads are: .308 168gr Nosler CC over 42.0 IMR4895 LC prepped Brass. .223 69gr Nosler CC over 24.0 H4895...

    Nosler 2nds

    Anybody try the Nosler Custom Competition factory 2nds in 168 grain from Shooters Pro Shop? They're not that much cheaper really, but are available. Custom Competitions seem to shoot as well as SMKs in my 700 SPS Tactical. Thanks, Sherlok

    Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ?

    Re: Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ? OK. Thanks Bohem. I've been using about 2.5 grains of B.E. pushing a 100 grain cast wadcutter as a .308 gallery load on my indoor range for years without incident. It's a good way to pre-sight-in a rifle to 200 yards. But, I would also be interested on...

    Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ?

    Re: Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ? Bohem, I've only heard of SEE taking place in large capacity rifle cases using smaller charges of slow burning rifle powder. I've not heard of anything like that with Bullseye and Unique. I would be interested in knowing of any such incidents as I shoot...

    Looking where to buy bulk 45 ACP bullets

    Re: Looking where to buy bulk 45 ACP bullets Number 2 alloy as described in the Lyman handbooks is the best all around alloy for cast bullets. There are several formulas to get an approximation of it, but if you buy bullets, you have no control over that. Most good over the counter cast...

    Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ?

    Re: Subsonic 308 loads with Unique ? I use Unique with 150 grain cast bullets up to about 15 grains. The Lyman Handbook has many cast loads with it although I've never tried it with jacketed. I'm sure it would work fine. Sherlok

    308 W case capacity

    Re: 308 W case capacity Not wanting to make a mess with water I do it using fine powder. Results are very repeatable. Capacity is determined by filling a sized, primed and trimmed cases with H335 as follows and weighing the charge: 1. Using a Lee dipper of the largest that will not...

    So who doesn't own an AR?

    Re: So who doesn't own an AR? I've owned several over the years (even an M-16 for awhile). Plenty accurate and perfect for what they were designed, but I just can't stand the way they feel when firing them. So I've always sold them after awhile and am not interested in another. I'll stick to...

    Replacement Barrel

    I have a nice 722 Remington Sporter in .222 converted long ago to .223 that could use a new barrel. I really don't want to dump a ton of money in it and I could sell it. But the action on this old girl is so smooooth compared to the new stuff. I was wondering what you guys thought might be the...

    Gallery Loads

    Re: Gallery Loads Well I worked up (or actually down) to a load of 1.2 grains of Bullseye behind a 185 grain cast SWC. Enough power to get the bullet downrange and almost one hole accuracy on my 42 foot range. Of course it won't operate the slide. It seems a little less noisy than a .22 lr...

    75 grain A-Max in 9" twist

    I have an opportunity to acquire a quantity of 75 grain A-max bullets. Do you think they will stabilize in my 9" twist Remington? The charts I've seen indicate that they might be borderline. Thanks, Sherlok

    Gallery Loads

    Re: Gallery Loads We used to play with mercury as a kid. Great fun. Rub it a dime (they were real silver then) using your bare fingers, made it very shiny. No long term effects that I can .... Uh, what were we talking about?

    Please identify Parker Hale Model

    Re: Please identify Parker Hale Model Thanks Carl. I really don't want to modify the rifle although I bought a Ken Farrell mount with the idea of someday mounting a scope. I would probably like to sell it (not for any parts of the anatomy, however) as I have too many projects going on right...

    Gallery Loads

    Re: Gallery Loads I'll look for X-rings. Didn't know they still made plastic bullets. Thanks for the responses. Roughneck, the 8 grains of Trail Boss sounds reasonable for a .243, but my advice would be to use cast bullets in working up these loads. You would have a hard enough time driving...
