    help with subsonic 308 rounds

    Try loading seating them backwards, point in, base out. Seriously. The CG on a streamlined bullet is on the wrong end for optimal stability. Firing them bass-ackwards makes them easier to stabilize. Free bonus, with subsonics, a blunt meplat tends to have better terminal effects than a...

    Quickload (or chrono?) way off for 300 win mag or H1000

    Look over QL's "Change Diagram" for your load and it's easy to see why even tiny differences at the start can make a substantial difference in the end. Looking at my .308 Win load, the "usable case capacity" is 48.6 grains of water. Which means that the gunpowder starts off in a space of...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    I overheard one of the salesmen in Ronnie Barrett's gun store, who was trying to sell an M82 to what looked to be a student in the local university, tell that very tale.

    Movie Theater Vikings

    I think I heard the story from Paul Harvey, in one of his "The Rest of the Story" stories, that the Vikings who'd come to Nova Scotia to settle were doing fine, had reached a point of accommodation with the Indians. Until they brought in a bull. The Indians apparently took it for some sort of...

    Movie Theater 300: Rise of an Empire.

    But the pivotal question is, does Eva Green allow us once again to gaze on her splendiforous breasticles?

    help with subsonic 308 rounds

    The filler substance most commonly mentioned is Cream of Wheat. Also used for fire-forming new cases. Oatmeal, farina, grits, rice crispies, Cap'n Crunch; any 'cereal' that will confine the charge to a smaller space, but still will crumble to dust under pressure. I've also heard of tissue...

    Michael Schumacher in coma, 'critical' after France ski accident

    In today's La Gazzetto dello Sport, they claim they got something of a sound bite from MSC's spokeman, Sabine Kehms, while she was attending the Geneva motor show in the company of Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo. What she said, allegedly, is that Schumacher is out of danger, but still in...

    Possible Move to Tennessee

    TWRA estimates there presently are 900,000 whitetails in the state. After WWII, the state only had a total deer population of about 2000 (two thousand!!!). Somewhere along the way, TWRA figured out what a goldmine deer licenses were and got serious about stocking and herd management efforts...

    Wet tumbling drying rack

    I beg to differ. Yes, there really are "magical" numbers because there are temperatures at which the material is either too hot or too cold for (non-phase transformation) annealing to occur. And time is irrelevant when either of those conditions exists. The annealing of brass starts with...

    Night Vision $450 (+iPhone) for thermal rifle scope add-on

    A company that goes by the catchy name of Flir One has just released a $350 iPhone 5 & 5s add-on they call the (equally-catchy) Flir One, that adds thermal imaging to your iPhone's camera. It supposedly registers temps from 32°F to 212°F. here. So it occurs to me that you also can...

    Wet tumbling drying rack

    +1, but I generally throw it in the oven once my biscuits are done, the oven is switched off, and the temp is down somewhere <400°F. From "Handloader's Manual," A Treatise on Modern Cartridge Components and their Assembly by the Individual Shooter into accurate Ammunition to best suit his...

    2014 Nascar Season

    I fell asleep during the rain delay and didn't get to see the finish until last night. Am I the only one thinks the rest of the teams have a secret meeting before every race and draw lots to see whose turn it is to crash Danica Patrick out of the race? She must be approaching a NASCAR record...

    Michael Schumacher in coma, 'critical' after France ski accident

    Dr. Hartstein reacts to the Focus.de story. He interprets the news to mean they have resumed sedation. And he reiterates the point that a lot of MSC's chances for recovery comes down to whether he yet has been weaned from the respirator and is breathing spontaneously.

    wider groupings with higher magnification @100???

    The answer is so obvious, and I can't believe you all have overlooked it. At the higher magnification, Shooter_308's bullets are taking longer to go to sleep. :whistling:

    Michael Schumacher in coma, 'critical' after France ski accident

    A German news magazine, Focus.de, is reporting doctors have halted the efforts to try to wake MSC. This prompted the family spokesman Sabine Kehm to issue a non-denial ("no new developments"), which in itself was unusual. They don't say how they came buy this information (no doubt with...
