    How bright a light?

    Re: How bright a light? Recently converted one of my Surefire E2's to a E2L. E2L has more light than the E2, way more battery life, low power setting that works great and gets way long life. I am finally impressed with an LED light! Thought about a higher powered one but for an all around...

    Good all around powder?

    Re: Good all around powder? I am experimenting with IMR-8208XBR for 223 & 308. Wide temperature range and heard good reports about it. I have not gotten to a point of a conclusion but it seems promising.

    75 Hornady's vs 77 smk's?

    Re: 75 Hornady's vs 77 smk's? Yes. Each load (bullet/powder/primer/case) shoots different in each gun. Each load has to be worked up when a component changes, close weight bullets included. You should not interchange them without working up a new load. My 18" Noveske barrel likes 77smk's...

    IMR 8208 XBR, thumbs up?

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR, thumbs up? I did but I did a half ass job compared to some pictures of other guys work that I looked up this AM. I need to redue and then re-evaluate. Hopefully I can get down to +/-0.1gr that some are reporting.

    IMR 8208 XBR, thumbs up?

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR, thumbs up? I have been working up loads for for several calibers but I am not to the point of being able to make a judgement on accuracy yet. However on metering in my Dillon 550b, it is better than 4895 but I still get easy +/- .3gr variations. So not the best in the 550b.

    Advanced Marksmanship How bad is this?

    Re: How bad is this? I'm left eye dominate and shoot right handed. Squint my left eye when I shoot a rifle. With a handgun I shoot right handed and use my left eye. My right shoulder makes a nice check rest! When I shoot shotgun I tried for a year straight (2500 rounds) to use tape on my...

    considering RCBS pro power trimmer

    Re: considering RCBS pro power trimmer I have used my friends RCBS Trim Pro Power Case Trimmer with a 3-way cutter head...it works slick. Get the 3-way cutter head and adjust it carefully and it will do a nice job of deburring the case mouth both inside and out. If I was going to buy my own...

    Anyone having any luck with 8208 XBR in .223?

    Re: Anyone having any luck with 8208 XBR in .223? This is the first batch I did. I wasn't going to even shoot for groups cause of the wind but decide...what the heck. The 69 Siera's at 2.26 OAL did good. Looking forward to further development. Need to figure out the SD on the velocity...
