    After all Prep, Weighing/Sorting Loaded Rounds?

    Beginners Confusion... Who's got it right?

    Re: Beginners Confusion... Who's got it right? If you are shooting the 168 SMK's, it's hard to beat the 42 grs of 4064 load. For 175's, Varget and Reloader 15 are good choices. Work up your loads, especially if you don't know exactly where you are to or in the lands. Pressure can vary...

    Trim to what length - really

    Re: Moly burnished barrel Moly coat increases the diameter of the bullet ever so slightly and creates a tighter bullet to bore seal. Increased velocity is the result. I am not a fan of moly for some of the reasons posted above.

    Range Report The Wind and My Sore Thumb

    Re: The Wind and My Sore Thumb I'm with Lowlight on this one. If there is one variable that is always variable, it is the wind with terrain playing a major factor. While many of us shoot 'square' ranges and golf course like venues (myself included these days), there are those that make...

    Range Rumor: Viht powders will"tear up" barrels?

    Re: Range Rumor: Viht powders will"tear up" barrels? VV has about the same burn temp as Varget. This premise of VV burning up barrels is BS. Faster velocities create more heat which burn barrels.
