    Best case lube?

    Re: Best case lube? I use RCBS case lube. I squeeze one bead along one case per 50. Put the cases in an appropriate-size bottle and put the bottle in a tumbler and let it tumble for about 1/2 an hour and get a uniform film on all the cases.

    SIERRA 5th Edition Rifle & Handgun Manual

    Re: SIERRA 5th Edition Rifle & Handgun Manual Why not contact Sierra directly. They may have tested French powders but did not publish that data since, as Kevin said, French powders are not available in the US.

    dillon quality ammo?

    Re: dillon quality ammo? I use the 550B to load match ammo from 300 to 1000yds. I do weigh each charge. For rapid fire and offhand loads I use the Dillon 'straight' (dump powder without weighing). The ammo gives loads in the teens (benched rifle) at 100yd and sub-minute at 600yds (slinged rifle).

    How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media?

    Re: How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media? It depends on the number of firings on the cases. The first time that I used SS media, my cases were fired 5 to 10 times and it took 8 hrs to get the inside of the cases clean but the necks were peened and therefore needed trimming. For...

    F T/R Competition WA State LR F-Class Championship June 23-24

    Re: WA State LR F-Class Championship June 23-24 Monte, Thanks for the clarification. If I had known that competitors pulled their own targets and the fee was so low, I would have attended the match. I always enjoys shooting at Rattlesnake.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Reticles

    Re: Nightforce Reticles I have a 12-42x56 scope with the FC2 reticle. This was considered radical by Nightforce and they were hesitant to do the switch but it work great for me. I shoot NRA prone competition and the .4 MOA dot within a 2moa ring (encloses the 9 ring)is great. It's to bad...

    Rifle Scopes fc-2

    Re: fc-2 I use the FC2 in a 12-42x56 NXS from 100-1200yd for NRA prone matches. The .4moa dot (at 42x) is great for shooting from a sling where wobble makes a finer reticle harder to see.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS questions

    Re: Nightforce NXS questions Try a hat with side flaps. Many highpower NRA competitors wear them to keep out the side light and distractions. http://www.creedmoorsports.com/store/home.php?cat=577
