    Reloaded 308 issues

    Re: Reloaded 308 issues Thank you all for the input. I have learned a lot. I have found that with all things in life, it's not what you want to hear that is important. It is what you do with the learned advise of others. It is hard to admit that an old guy does not know it all, butr I...

    Reloaded 308 issues

    I have a small problem with my reloaded 308 ammo. Compared to factory Federal Match, my ammo does not chamber as easily. I have dissembled a new Federal round and measured it all over and compared the measurements to those from my cases re-sized, trimmed and ready to load. In all cases, my...

    Vibrating tumblers from Harbor Freight

    Re: Vibrating tumblers from Harbor Freight As I mentioned,I once had a Lyman vibrating one and it worked great for my needs (I don't shoot/reload for a living). I think a Lyman can be purchased for about $75 delivered and a RCBC for around a hundred. The HF one is $55 plus tax. Except for...

    Re: Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Tactical 30mm Riflescope Thanks for the link nhm16, it will initially go on a 700 AAC/SD 308 build and I will eventually put it on a 22 unless the scope turns out to be a "dandy".

    Re: Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Tactical 30mm Riflescope Thanks for the input. As I said, it will probably end up on a CZ 455 I want to purchase, so I will order one and shoot it for a while.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Tactical 30mm Riflescope

    Anyone here have any experience with this scope? From the reviews it looks like it might be a good starter scope for my 700 AAC/SD build and something I can move to a 22 build later. Here are the specs: http://swfa.com/Falcon-Menace-4-14x44-Tactical-30mm-Riflescope-P47408.aspx

    308 Brass

    Re: 308 Brass I will be using it in a bolt action. I had ordered 50 rounds of Nosler brass, but noticed that the samer company had a sale on Laupa brass and I could get twice as much for less money. I'll check on the LC also. Right now I have a lot of mixed brass and I have been loading it...

    Re: Barrel Swap Thanks, Just wanted to know if they would interchange. Plan on maybe upgrading the 700 AAC/SD in the future and might put the AAC/SD barrel on the model 7. Of course I would get someone qualified to do it. Thanks
