    Cardboard Sleeves & Stripper Clips

    Once you get a cardboard, you can make your own if you want,..usean original asa template. I had time this past winter when it was too cold to get out and made twenty or so 223 cardboards out if cereal boxes and a glue gun. Not too big of a pain but it certainly passed time for a few hours. If...

    Blemished Bullets at Midway

    Yep, I just ordered 500 of the 178s. I thought I would try then in my M1A. Nothing precision so I figured I couldn't go too wrong with the blems for blasting.

    F T/R Competition 308 ft/r go to bullet?

    I received some good advice from right here on the Hide regarding 185 bergers and Varget. In my last 1000 yard match I shot a 99 on my last string of 10. Pretty good for a hack like me. I don't neck turn, point, weight bullets, brass, etc...I already spend too much time reloading and not...

    Garand Reloading

    Thanks for the comments. I not had any reliability issues with just letting my press cam over but I think I'm probably setting the shoulder back too far,...in the .013 - .010 range,...which I'm sure is over working my brass and probably having a negative affect on accuracy. Would this have...

    Garand Reloading

    I need some help reloading my Garand and my M1A, specifically resizing the brass. I typically set my resizing die up so that my press "cams" over and I leave it at that. I have had no problems with this set up and my rifles run just fine. But, I'm wondering if I'm doing this incorrectly and...

    .308 Sniper chamber ???

    Re: .308 Sniper chamber ??? I have a 95 Palma chamber and shoot 175 SMKs and 185 Berger Hybrids. I use the 185 s for 1000 yd work and the 175 s for everything else. They both shoot good but I like the heavier 185 at 1000.

    Sorting LC brass by production year

    Re: Sorting LC brass by production year I really wouldn't use regular LC if I was looking for the kind of accuracy that I think your looking for. Sure the match and LR LC is great, but, if I'm looking for accuracy to the point of sorting regular LC by year then I would use Lapua brass or...

    weighing brass

    Re: weighing brass Lapua is pretty "kick ass". Its all I shoot in my F class rifle. If I was shooting something different,..not a match barrel, tight chamber, etc...then I probably wouldn't spend the cash on the Lapua brass.

    weighing brass
