    Rifle Scopes nikon m223 2-8x32

    Re: nikon m223 2-8x32 I have the 3-12x on a Remington 700 SPS tactical in .223 and other than the max magnification being a little low for my old eyes at distance I'm very impressed with the clarity and brightness. I wish they made a M-223 in a 6-24x.

    .223 bullet seating die

    Re: .223 bullet seating die I use Redding competition micrometer seating dies and feel they are superior. I have used the Forester Micrometer dies and I don't think they are the same quality. I don't crimp .223 because I only shoot it out of a bolt gun any more.

    Help reloading .45 ACP

    Re: Help reloading .45 ACP No and no. I've loaded 10's of thousands of 9mm and 45acp handloads and never trim cases and use a Lee factory crimp die only to just kiss the brass and take the flair out of it after seating.

    .260 Remington range report

    Re: .260 Remington range report Thanks guys I'll try the .3gr increments and post results this weekend. Do you think the 9 twist is too slow for 130 or 140 grain lead? (I want to try some Berger vld's also)

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 or .308 They both will be easy to load for. There is a great sticky on the home page here on reloading. It helped me a lot.
