    Baffled, does Brass ever Shrink in size?

    Think of the chamber or your gun in profile, obviously it's wider than factory brass that has to fit inside any chamber. Upon firing you blasted your brass to match the larger chamber dimension. Think of the new brass as a road of 10 mile road length, upon firing you now took a longer route...

    UPS can kiss my a$$!

    I had a pistol in a fed ex box requiring adult signature left on my door step of an apartment complex. I was not amused. That was at another town where I used to live. My current Fed Ex delivery guy is pretty damn good and I always try to meet him in the driveway so he doesn't have to haul 3...

    Is it over!!!????

    No shit, I bought 2 cases of CCI Blazer for blasting, a case of CCI SV, a half a case of wolf, and a few bricks of SK SV long before the panic. I'm pretty well insulated on this one.

    Loads for 22-250 Rem

    I've always hated 4064 in any of the .22 cal necks. Not because it won't shoot because it will amazingly, it's just that I have to fight the powder through the neck and often enough end up spilling powder tapping and shaking the funnel when it log jams. My 700V .22-250 loads all with 52...

    anyone use 308 maching gun brass for a bolt gun

    Re: anyone use 308 maching gun brass for a bolt gun As a former 0331 in the old days I used be told to toss it in the dumpster at the reserve center and instead walked to my truck with it. I've loaded it for hunting guns and my Fed Ord M14 at the time. It was horrible to resize at the time...

    A tip on tips(rant warning)

    Re: A tip on tips(rant warning) yep, all those silly jargon words just prove the writer is a tool. I do frequent the cast boolit website, there it's their convention that their cast lead projectiles are boolits and copper clad factory stuff is bullets. yea it's corny but I bite my tonque...

    Powder Valley has Varget right now

    Re: Powder Valley has Varget right now Bruno's was always steep anyhow. they seemed to have boutique pricing not catalog store pricing. I found out of my local gun shops was actually buying factory new brass there at high retail and marking it up 20%. WTF I thought.

    Sizing Die for each Rifle?

    Re: Sizing Die for each Rifle? Well I would segregate cases to the rifles anyhow, that's just good house keeping. I even do it on my .260's that were made at the same time; both FN SPR actions, both cut with the same reamer on rock creek barrels, one varmint contour and one sporter weight...

    When to use a Full Length Die

    Re: When to use a Full Length Die Carter I would hazard to say that the majority of reloaders, other than here, are setting up their dies wrong and according to the maker's directions. I know I did it for years just like the directions said or partial sizing with FL dies. Only the...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold

    Re: Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold Thanks for the input guys. Always like hearing from guys with in hand experience with stuff. FWIW I'm not looking for another big honking tactical scope, more a standard sized hunting scope but with good knobs, possibly low profile...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold

    Re: Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold Interesting, didn't know about the US OPtics scope. Chris, is the NF 3.5-10x32 noticeabley better than the zeiss conquest at dusk? I was rather disappointed with the conquest and all the reviews said how bright they were. I couldn't use...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold

    Re: Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold Damn, nobody has nothing on these scopes? I realize they're not my NXS 5.5-22x50 on the heavy SPR in .260 but I figured there'd be some hunting rifle scope discussion here.

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope input desired - NF vs. Nikon Gold

    I've been kicking around replacing my Zeiss conquest on my custom sporter weight .260, it's a 3.5-10x40 with their Zsomething or other range compensating reticle. Frankly on dark gloomy days at the magic evening watch time you can't use that reticle as it pretty much disappears. Would work if...

    Izmash Biathlon KO new in the box

    Re: Izmash Biathlon KO new in the box Very nice grab. IIRC they've been out of production or simply not imnported for about 8 years now. The used market is where you'll find them (if you're lucky).

    Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

    Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom m My idea was to make a frame that drops in the mag well with adjustments for height and pitch angle to play around with a Marlin or other common magazine. That way you could tune it til you get reliability and then make solid units from those...
