    Jam Seating

    I loaded up some 300 WM (in process or working up some loads). I must not have measured the distance to the ogive in my chamber accurately. I used the Hornady comparator gauges. Anyway, when I double checked the measurement, w/ a 212 ELD-X bullet the gauge indicates that the length is 2.924"...

    Bulged some cases with Lee Collet Die

    Unfortunately I cannot blame a sticking collet. I am happy to inform all of you that a 300WM case will reliably bulge when using a 308 collet die.

    Steel head, nice pic - that is what I have- the LCI

    Bulged some cases with Lee Collet Die

    I bulged some 300 WM cases w/ a lee collet die. Tried to resize the case but the shoulder is too big. Are the cases now scrap or is there a way to resize them?

    How to Paint Stock

    I modded my B&C M40 stock by cutting filing & buliding up with Devcon to get the same grip as my Manners T2A. Also added a PTG flush mount military style BDM (for AICS mags w/ up to a 3.775 COAL). I need to paint the stock now, as it looks like a stock that has some bondo slapped on top of...

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Agree with both of you. Will shoot paper out to 500 yards or maybe even take it out to 700. Use that to determine where I am really hitting. Then start worrying about truing. Unfortunately, it will be a pain to hang paper out there...

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I was shooting steel, 3 to 5 shots for each range. The twist is 1/7, 4 groove Bartlein, but can't say that I verified it.

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Good point. I did not even consider the bullet going transonic which it probably does between 900 to 1000 yards. That may explain the BC at long range, still confused why shorter ranges being so off. As 6.5SH said - I need to recheck zero.

    Hearing protection

    I need to get some better hearing protection. I am also going with double ears. Slowly losing my hearing and want to preserve what I have for as long as I can & will continue to shoot. So, looking for recommendations for GOOD ear plugs and ear muffs.

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Yea, I'm wondering about that. Zeroed the rifle @ 100 yds. was off initially by 2" (high & to left). Re-zeroed & could not see bullet impact (was looking through scope) and assumed that group was in solid black square. Should not have been lazy & went down to check. At the same time, I...

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I'm probably more concerned about the data at yardages below 700 not lining up very well where I thought that I should be adjusting the velocity.

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    The chrono is a Labradar & the MV should be at the muzzle

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I am shooting Hornady 75 gr. BTHP w/ a published G1 of .395 & cronographed speed of 2800 fps. The first column is actual dope. The second two are ballistic calcs from JBM & Strelok @ MV=2800 & BC=.395. The fourth colum is JBM w/ a MV of 3150 & BC of .28. The last column is strelok w/ a MV of...

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Do not think that I made mistakes in dialing the scope as I would write down the values at 300, 400, 500, 575, 700 & 1000 yards. Did not think that the scope may not be tracking properly, I guess that would make sense tp check next. Easiest way would be to switch scopes between the .308 &...

    Brass Catcher

    Need to get a brass catcher for my AR15 & AR10. Plan to shoot off a tripod, so the bag needs to be fully supported by the rifle & not the bench. Who makes a decent one that does not impede with function?

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Yes, the scope height is correct. Also, the altitude, temp, baro.pres. & RH was input for actual conditions that day. That is why I am unsure about what is going on. Both MV & BC are significantly off to get the drops to line up.

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I shot my AR out to 100o yards yesterday and my ballistic prediction (JBM) was off. Going thru the I was going to correct the velocity to 700 yards and then the BC to 1000. I am shooting a Hornady 75 gr. BTHP that has a published G1 of .395 @ 2800 fps (per labradar). To get the JBM drops to...

    R700 B&C M40 Stock Mod

    Trying to do a cheap precision rifle Build. Started w/ my R700 Long Range (#84164). This model had a BC M40 stock, which I modified by filing & building up w/ Devcon to have same the grip as my Manners T2A. Also added a PTG flush mount military style BDM (for AICS mags w/ up to a 3.775 COAL)...

    H870 for 300 Win Mag?

    A buddy of mine gave me 5 lbs. of H870. I cannot seem to find any load data for this powder. Would it work for 300 Win Mag & if so, does anyone have any load data?

    Kestrel?

    Will the standard blue Weatherflow work? The one they market for precision shooting is on backorder. Noticed that the precision shooting one has DA but I don't think that the standard one does. Is that a big deal, or will the ballistic app be able to provide the density altitude?
