    Load Verification: .223

    Re: Load Verification: .223 I have the same problem with Sinclair comparators with .223. I had to switch to Stoney Point units (now made by Hornady). The hole in the Sinclair units are a little too large, and I was either touching the case neck or was too close to tell. This only happens with...

    Can't FL resize brass sufficiently

    Re: Can't FL resize brass sufficiently You stated that you are cutting to length, then full length sizing. Have you measured the case length after resizing, as the casing will stretch? The case could be too long for your chamber, and that will create many of the problems that you have. It...

    Gunsmithing Does Cerakote insulate barrels?

    Re: Does Cerakote insulate barrels? I use DuraCoat on most of my rifles, not that it makes any difference. When I shoot P-dogs in AZ, the sun heats up my black barrels, and the tan ones seem to shed heat faster than the Rem. factory black barrels. More reflective I would presume. If I could...

    Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday I just went to the range today. 850' ASL, 30 deg F, so bad conditions to stabilize a marginal bullet. The 105 A-MAX shot great. My best was a group at .367 at 100 yards. My load was 40.5 of H-4350, 2.160" measured with a Stoney Point 24 ga...

    New guy, and new gun questions

    Re: New guy, and new gun questions If you go online and search bullet samples, there are places like Sinclair that offer 12 packs of sample bullets. 12 will give you enough to check stability of heavy bullets, without having 88 sitting on your shelf.

    $350.00 ADL from Dick's?

    Re: $350.00 ADL from Dick's? Adam B. I was not having a fit about the $100, even though I bought 2, so that would be $200. Check my OP, do you see a fit in it? i was having a problem with the advertising. If, in fact, the sale started at 5AM, (which it apparently did not),I would have been...

    $350.00 ADL from Dick's?

    Re: $350.00 ADL from Dick's? WELL, if one is lead to believe that the rebate is valid at the time of purchase, completes the tranaction, then finds out the the rebate is not valid because it was purchased too early, it is a $100 mistake. I had to wait for a NICS check after 6AM, even though I...

    $350.00 ADL from Dick's?

    Re: $350.00 ADL from Dick's? Graham, have you read the rebate sheet that they handed out after the sale? If so, your reading skills are less than a 2nd grader. If not, then why are you commenting on my skills? The rebate form that you have to fill out and send in says (in two places) that the...

    $350.00 ADL from Dick's?

    Re: $350.00 ADL from Dick's? I emailed Dick's customer service. I got the usual BS about being a valued customer, but read the terms and conditions of the rebate. I guess I have to go farther up the food chain. I will try the route you suggested and see where it takes me.

    $350.00 ADL from Dick's?

    Did anyone else go to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick up the $350 deal on an 700 ADL? If you got it before 5 AM, the $100 rebate is junk, and you just paid $450 for it. Faulty advertising?

    Suppressors TacOps 30 suppressors

    Does anyone have the dimensions of the TacOps 30 suppressors? I want to get a few of the Tab covers on order, and have not gotten an email back from Mike R. yet. About 2 weeks until I should have my stamps on 2 TacOps 30s and 1 338 Surefire. Should be just in time for a LR NM elk hunt.

    Bench Source annealer setup tips?

    Re: Bench Source annealer setup tips? Get yourself a couple of 5 foot hoses, set the cylinder on the floor and tie wrap the hoses to the leg of the bench. You can take the weight off the torch heads, and it makes vertical adjustments simple.

    Gunsmithing PCR service

    Stopped in to Phoenix Custom Rifles the other day to drop off some work for them. I explained to Keith that I needed one bolt back ASAP for an upcoming P-dog hunt. He asked if I had half an hour of spare time. I watched as he made and installed my new knob so that I could leave with it. You just...

    Hunting & Fishing Box Blind Build lots of pics **UPDATE 8/27/12**

    Re: Box Blind Build (lots of pics) A couple of suggestions. 1) Bury your posts a little deeeper, to get dowm below the frost line. 2) Run cross braces (in an X pattern) between the posts. This will stiffen them up and prevent the wind from moving and twisting the blind. At 10' elevation, a...

    Range Report Shooter ballistic app

    Re: Shooter ballistic app The velocity variation is a function of temperature affecting velocity. If you know that a 1 degree drop in temp costs you 2 FPS, enter 2 here. If your powder is not temp sensitive, just enter 0. The zero offsets are how far off your zeros are at your zero range. If...

    Rolling your own 308 168 gr. FGGM

    Re: Rolling your own 308 168 gr. FGGM Beyond 800, I use 185 Bergers in the 308, or go to my Scalpel 6.5 Creedmoor or Remedy 338 LM for the really long stuff.

    Rolling your own 308 168 gr. FGGM

    A few years back, I got a new Tac Ops Tango 51. While I was waiting for it, I bought 1000 factory 168 FGGM in two different lots. Next, I bought componets to roll my own. I am no noob to reloading, but was confused when measuring the ogive length and comparing to the COAL of the factory loads VS...
