What is the best caliber for shooting 1300 yards?
Re: What is the best caliber for shooting 1300 yards? Grab a reloading manual and look at the velocities of various bullets that would be needed to keep them super sonic at that range. Once you decide on a caliber then all you have to do is figure out how much pain and how little barrel life...- doc76251

Reloading in an Apt?
Re: Reloading in an Apt? I'm with Greg as far as the first years of experience loading in an apartment, but I did load there. I found it VERY helpful to put my bench/table on top of 4 phone books to deaden the noise of the "thunk - thunk" of the reloading press. The phone book was also...- doc76251

Re: Need an official FAA/Pilot question answered, fast Dun't know about the official rules but I can promise if you get too close your plane will disintegrate in a stream of 30mm shells. You'll probably also have a visit from some three letter club prior to the pieces hitting the water...- doc76251

how often do you clean your weapon?
Re: how often do you clean your weapon? On gas guns you would be well advised to clean the bolt and carrier after each range trip. Clean the barrel when accuracy degrades, IMHE 3 - 500 rounds. Nothing goes down the bore except boolets until its time for a cleaning, the gun will tell you...- doc76251

Re: Im having trouble aiming with my new glock...... You might be screwing the pooch on the trigger but something tells me it is the gun/sights. If you can roll a .45 to good effect then conceptually you should be able to drive a 9mm similarly. The fact that you are cognizant enough to hold...- doc76251

Re: VA's "instant" background check? There has been a lot of this lately. The SP are understaffed, under funded and over run. Talk w/ your local dealer and ask him/her about their volume this year.

Poor velocity spread in reloads for AR-10
Re: Poor velocity spread in reloads for AR-10 Consistency in powder charge is nice but case fill volume mitigates many wild swings in ES. What did the rounds do on paper/steel? If they were all grouping well w/ a 100fps deviation your chrony may be to blame. Cheers, Doc- doc76251

Same Setup, different ogive measurement. Need Help
Re: Same Setup, different ogive measurement. Need Help With .008 - .004" and only 16 I would say the operator has changed how he operated the ram when seating.
