    Jump friendly .224 projectiles

    Re: Jump friendly .224 projectiles Thank you for all the input. I will pick up a box of the Hornady 75s and the Bergers to experiment with as well as the Sierra 69s. I understand loading the Noslers to mag length "should" be fine but my results in my barrel suggest otherwise, as setting them...

    Jump friendly .224 projectiles

    Yesterday I was doing some load testing at the range and experimented with some Nosler 77 grain CC bullets just off the lands in my AR. They performed wonderfully, but single loading was a bit of a pain. I know they aren't a VLD bullet but they definitely liked starting close to the lands much...

    Flash Hole Deburring Tool

    Re: Flash Hole Deburring Tool I use the possum hollow tool for flash holes that indexes on the bottom of the case and I have found it worthwhile for some of the rifles I load for. At 100 yards a cleaned up flash hole vs factory punched hole doesn't seem to make much difference... I think it...

    AR barrel twist Q...

    Re: AR barrel twist Q... Yes. One of my favorite and most accurate loads uses the 52 gr hornady bthp. They will be quite stabilized. As others have mentioned it might tear itself apart due to the rotational forces imparted by the fast twist but unless its a really ask bullet or a really high...

    Suppressors Revolver 1500?

    Re: Revolver 1500? Thank you, I appreciate the information. It seems that practicing a DAO revolver at 50 yards would certainly help with trigger control (even though the actions are slicked up quite a bit). I might have to give Alan Tanaka a call one of these days, sounds like he does 1911s too.

    Suppressors Revolver 1500?

    This question is decidedly untactical but out of curiosity is anyone here familiar with the equipment for the revolver 1500 class of the NRA police matces? I've tried to find information and been unsuccessful. A buddy asked me about it after seeing the picture of Enoch Smith in the feb 2011...

    Sturdy Field Netbook

    Re: Sturdy Field Netbook Yeah the solid state seems like it would be a good choice, some of the other laptops have "drop sensors" to shut off the spinning HD before it hits the ground, but I don't have experience with either type. Maybe SH forum users don't use netbooks? we have 9 pages of...

    Sturdy Field Netbook

    I figured this wasn't quite tactical enough to go to the equipment section. I am looking at picking up a new netbook for school and field use, and I was wondering if anyone has found a sturdy netbook in the 300-400 dollar range. I have a desktop replacement for working or video editing so I...

    Harris bipod pads

    Re: Harris bipod pads Thank you everyone! I think I'll try the RTV. Ive used gorilla glue on other products and haven't had great luck with bonding very smooth things with it. I have a bunch of RTV from automotive projects so I'll use that.

    Harris bipod pads

    My first attempt at a krylon camo job ended badly so I stripped everything with brake cleaner... and the rubber pads that go between the bipod and the stock came right off with the paint. I think the brake cleaner ate the adhesive. Anyone have this happen? More importantly what should I use to...

    Wilson dies for semi auto

    Re: Wilson dies for semi auto Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know. Maybe a modified bullet seating stem would solve the ring mark? If I opened it up to contact the bullet lower or had someone modify the stem like the special hornady amax seating stems that might help with the...

    Wilson dies for semi auto

    Re: Wilson dies for semi auto I full length size the brass every time on a Rock Chucker Supreme. I understand that the best seater in the world probably won't do anything to improve runout on a case with a bad neck but what I'm looking for is a seater that I know won't contribute to...

    Wilson dies for semi auto

    I have been reading Zediker's book Handloading for Competition (learning alot) and I have been interested in using wilson seating dies. I was thinking about trying one out in .223 to improve my runout (its horrible, standard RCBS seater) but I load .223 for my AR15. I would like to be able to...

    Rigid FF tube

    Re: Rigid FF tube Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. Now it seems the badger would be the best bet due to optics mounting possibilities. It seems like Im not supposed to just mount the rings with one clamped to the upper and one on the handguard because of alignment issues but a solid...

    Rigid FF tube

    Re: Rigid FF tube Alright thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. I still havent completely decided what I will end up getting because another friend recommended the badger due to its top rails then I can mount a riser bridging the receiver and low rings for proper height/ eye relief but Im...

    Rigid FF tube

    Im putting together an AR upper in the next few weeks and Im trying to decide on a rifle length free float tube. I have been considering the WOA varmint tube (increased ventilation and bipod stud in the right place), the EGW tube (I like the 1911 parts Ive purchased from them- seem to make good...

    Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep

    Re: Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep I appreciate all the work that has gone into this tutorial, my loading manuals dont tell you how to set up a FL die just to bump so this has been very enlightening. Sounds like I need the tool. Maybe I am missing something because I tried the...

    Tikka T3 Varmint

    Ive decided I need a .308 and so I'm looking seriously at the T3 varmint in 308. I have 2 concerns about the system that I haven't been able to resolve through searching(perhaps my keywords are weak). 1st, I have heard some comments about weak recoil lugs bending/deflecting... seems somewhat...

    Barrel life with .532 bolt face

    Re: Barrel life with .532 bolt face Thanks for all the input. I am leaning towards the RSAUM, although after reading some articles on 6mmbr it looks like others favor the WSM case being necked up from the 270 or down from the 300 claiming longer necks and less case capacity. I havent found...

    Barrel life with .532 bolt face

    I have a Remington 700 in 7mm Rem mag and I am hoping to rebarrel it within the next few months. I am considering different chamberings as I like the ballistics of the 7 Rem mag but I would like more barrel life than the big 7 gives if possible. What I have read about the 7 WSM and 7 RSAUM seems...
