    Bullet drop to mil confusion

    Interesting thread. I use Strelok Pro with a Vortex PST 6-24x56 ffp mil/mil scope and have noticed actual adjustment is off by 2 to 3 clicks (.1 mil clicks) from the program when I get past 600m or so (on my dope card). I'll have to dig into this a bit more... Anyone know what Vortex uses for...

    Giraud trimmer set up help

    Last year before I got my Giuraud trimmer, when I was researching them, I remember reading about using die lock rings to make a "stop" on the neck collar. I have been looking for those posts but cannot find them... I have only been using it for .308 but I am about ready to switch to try some...

    Does any of you use a 3 way cutter?

    Is this your set up in the video? I have one of these three way cutting heads I bought for my rcbs trimmer I used with a hand drill, but I also have the forster power trimmer on my drill press and find it is easier to use. I would love to mount the 3 way cutter but not sure how to chuck it...

    Help with finding varget

    I have not been able to buy varget in over a year. 8lb jugs of varget came up on gunbot at normal prices ($157) at a few places a few weeks ago. Sold fast and I missed it sitting in meetings. I had bought 24 lbs of 2520 that did not work well for me so i sold most of it. I picked up an 8lb of...

    Fed 210 vs 210M

    Been using up a 1k box of 210 I picked up about 2 years ago while doing load development on a couple of .308 using 2000mr powder. Done ladders and ocw. Like the ocw process and it seems to have produced winning loads for my guns (finally got a .5 moa load for my lr308 that I have been dicking...

    Whose ballistic software?

    Strelok Pro on Android. Run it on my phone and on a 7" Galaxy tablet for matches. Works great if you put in good info. It was like $8 iirc. (Started with free version, then got the $4 paid version, then pro to use G7 BC.)

    #&%@*%$!!!! Question on DPMS .308 upper rail height...

    As a late follow up... The Troy "low" rail matches the DPMS upper almost perfectly. However I found that the bottom rail retainer block inside the front of the tube was touching my gas block (I chose Wilson combat as I needed a .936" with the adjustment screw in the front and this was the only...

    Range Report .308 FGM 168/175 Temperature Effect on MV

    24" Lilja 1:11 barrel in LR-308. 73F 29.36 in Hg Prochrono digital @ 15' (note the MV data for prochrono appears to be aboubt 34fps lower than data taken with a magnetospeed for my pet varget load (prochrono vs magnetospeed) on same rifle. Did not test FGMM with Magnetospeed). 15 rnds...

    Varget.....Has anyone seen Varget?

    And this is why most of us can't find any... I loaded 150 .308 last night which leaves me with about 3 lbs out of 24 I bought 1.5 years ago. Been looking for 10 months and the only Varget I have seen in stock was 1 lbs with a limit of one or two (not worth the Hazmat) or 8lbs for $179+...

    Gunsmithing question on mounting barrel in LR 308 upper

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I cleaned everything with a spritz of brake cleaner and paper towels (takes the grease/oil right off). I wound up using the rocksett to bed the barrel as I figured it would be easier to remove than Loctite (should I ever need to) and just needs to fill up the...

    Gunsmithing question on mounting barrel in LR 308 upper

    I have a DPMS LR 308 upper and a 24" Lilja heavy barrel, JP brake, along with a PRI CF round forend. I had taken it to a shop to have it assembled "the right way" as I have only done AR15 uppers a couple of times. Alas I think they did a half assed job of it. I broke in the barrel and have...

    Nice rifle soft case suggestions?

    I have this exact case (rectangular) in sand color and it is very well built and works well enough as a shooting mat. Use it for my Savage 10BA-LE. It can be a little lumpy as a mat on concrete as the pack shoulder straps don't want to lay flat but if you are on the dirt you don't really...

    Looking for Hide vendor discounts - for Magnetospeed V1

    I was able to borrow a magnetospeed V1 to try out from a friend while at the range yesterday. What an excellent tool. Worked very well (on my LR-308 with a Lilja bull barrel and JP large Bennie Cooley comp) in testing my different loads. Now I only want to buy one, but I am quite averse to...

    Midway promo code

    Bet that doesn't even cover their outrageous shipping charges... They have gone the way of Amazon.com ("free super saver shipping" but it is still cheaper on other sites when I pay for the shipping). Seems like I can almost always find what I am looking for (delivered) cheaper elsewhere...

    How far is too far?

    Did not try any factory ammo. I have a few boxes of 168 FGMM or Hornady TAP. Also have some mil surplus (south african battle packs and some M60 belts). I will try some on my next outing. How do I "verify" firing pin protrusion? I posted a picture... Is there a "spec" for how far it should...

    Bipod recommendation

    I tried the kool-aid. Got an Atlas because it was a rail mount and "better", but I always go back to my Harris. The Atlas collects dust in my gun safe. Now I am looking for an intgral QD mount for my Harris. Just saw that you an get the Larue LT706 QD mount for $120 if you call them direct...

    How far is too far?

    Background: I finally completed my LR-308 Franken-SASS after 10 months and took it to the range to break in the barrel and start working up a load for it this past Sunday. I had loaded up 50 rounds using some IMI match brass that had three firings from my Savage and used the charge my first...

    Rifle Scopes Good scope for a .308 Savage 10FCP McMillan...?

    Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50, ffp, mil/mil. Retails for $950 but I have bought two for about $100 less each. Try a dnz freedom reaper 1 piece 20 moa savage (round receiver) mount. Works great and reasonably priced. I shoot 900 yards with it no problem. Great scope and mount for the money...
