    WC 844 what would be the closest substitute?

    I picked up some surplus 5.56 bullets today at the gun show. I started doing some searches to find out what the armed forces load behind these puppies and it listed 24.7gr to 26.1 of WC 844 behind them. I was looking in my Hornady book and it doesn't make a reference to this powder. Is there a...

    Anyone using xs sights on a AR?

    Re: Anyone using xs sights on a AR? that is cool. so you just tilt the gun to the left to get your sight picture correct? Is there a guide somewhere that says what aperture is best for about 100 to 200 yrds on a rear sight. I am also looking for a none optic sight solution. Something in a...

    Anyone using xs sights on a AR?

    Right now I have the pretty standard front post/flip up back sight on my wife's AR. On our farm, the small rear aperture sight able to go out to 600yrds is a hindrance trying to make a fast target acquisition. Also my dad wears glasses and he has problems finding the front sight through the...

    Re: Poly vs. Steel mags for AR platform @ Elnino31 We live on a 50 acre farm with a wild dog problem, so I want a weapon system she can know inside and out. That way if dogs come by she can be confident to go out, setup her bipod on the backporch table, and send some dogs to doggie heaven...

    Poly vs. Steel mags for AR platform

    Re: Poly vs. Steel mags for AR platform Thanks guys. So I am gathering so far to go with the Pmags, and get the caps to help keep the pressure off the lips of the mag while in storage. I doubt my mom and wife are going to work these mags like leo would at a shooting range. Prob about 4 or 5...

    ? about round reloaded with ball powder

    Re: ? about round reloaded with ball powder It is Ultra Max Ammo that he had bought. It is labeled .308 not 7.62 nato, so he wasn't shooting machine gun ammo in a bolt rifle. The Fal is a DSA. So it is barrled to shoot .308 and not 7.62 nato. Which if i remember right. 7.62 nato has a lower...

    ? about round reloaded with ball powder

    Re: ? about round reloaded with ball powder Well yes I have learned this. What I am trying to find out is if ball powder differs than stick, either if you need more of if or less of it to do the job. I know I have heard that ball ammo has more variance in burn time. But the bolt getting...

    ? about round reloaded with ball powder

    My dad had picked up a bulk pack of reloaded rounds from the store to run through the fal we have. He also thought it would be a good idea to shoot it out of his savage fp10. Well the spent case wouldn't come out under normal working of the bolt. I had to hit the bolt handle with the palm of my...

    Re: POI 12 o'clock to cross hairs. good idea? is that a mil dot reticle or a solid cross bar. Which the former is what I have on most of my 22.

    Advanced Marksmanship POI 12 o'clock to cross hairs. good idea?

    I was reading the "dot drill" post and there was a suggestion if you are running a lower power scope to make your poi either 6 o'clock or 12 o'clock of center of cross-hairs. I have a 22 lr bull barrel pistol that has a "pumkin on a post" sight system that is pretty easy to hit what you are...

    What media can be used in a Vibrating case cleaner

    I have some black diamond blast media I picked up for my blasting kit for when I weld. Would this eat my RCBS vibrating case cleaner? What about using ss media in a vibrating case cleaner? I have been looking at the ss media thread I might have to go track down my old rock thumbling kit...

    Re: @ 1000,600,300 yards are the courses of fire level So when I was working out the kinks on my HMR I had my dog lay down on a piece of plywood to make a coyote target. I need to lay down and have my wife trace me huh? Maybe then I can get her to come shoot with me if she knows she is...

    @ 1000,600,300 yards are the courses of fire level

    I was playing in google earth this morning. And the safest 300 yrd range I could come up with on my property has a drop in elevation of roughly 30 feet. At 100 yrds I can call a shot on a beer bottle with a 22 or my savage 17hmr. i.e. taking the neck off and leaving the rest of the bottle. So...
