    Load Development Log

    Re: Load Development Log Sorry...forgot that....I appreciate the feedback. OAL - 2.810 - 2.813 they vary due to the bullet tips not being exact.

    I loaded my first 20 rounds last night....

    I finally loaded my first 20 rounds. I went and picked up some powder and primers the other day and started on it last night. The cases (50) have all been prepped and cleaned for a few weeks, so I was ready. I'll tell ya...the first few primers I pushed in were nervous moments indeed. The powder...

    my new reloading bench....

    I made this over that weekend and stained it the next day. I used tongue oil to seal the top....it's pretty sturdy. The Lee press I clamp to the end so I don't have to have it up all of the time. Works out well. Now if I can get the wife to quit parking her car in my man cave. M

    how far can you really see??

    Re: how far can you really see?? Thanks for the replies everybody.....I was a bit confused as well as my buddy. I guess it kind of makes sense now. I will have the Konus in my mitts tomorrow when I get home from work.....which is nice since I'm headed to the range on Sunday. Will try to...

    how far can you really see??

    I have a friend that has a spotting scope that only is good for about 100 yards. I've used it and it sucks...I have been reading the threads about all of the spotting scopes that are a little on the less expensive side. The one I have decided on is the Konus Konuspot 20-60x80mm Spotting Scope...

    Best .308 Ammo Prices?

    Re: Best .308 Ammo Prices? I've used SouthWest and was very pleased with its performance. I've tried Black Hills as well and thought SWA was better....and cheaper.

    Re: My new Rig..... Nice agr490.....not sure my wife would go that far....but she is fairly tolerant of my shooting. My shooting buddy just got a savage....nice rifle. Going to the range on Sunday morning, so I'll let you guys know how I did...

    Re: My new Rig..... Thanks Merritt.. Don't get me wrong....she's not THAT excited...she didn't give me a bunch of sh!t over it is all....and she took the time to actually look it over... To me ...that's excited. Already got most of the reloading equipment I need save for a few pieces...

    My .308 reloading setup

    Re: My .308 reloading setup ahh....gotcha.....so basically the same piece of equipment, but one to use before and after cleaning brass. Seems like a smart move. My goodies will be delivered by Mr. UPS today....and I won't reload for another several weeks at least. Gonna suck having all of...

    My .308 reloading setup

    Re: My .308 reloading setup TJ.....I thought the RCBS Die Set I bought had the depriming piece with it? Is the Decapping tool necessary for me to have? I'm not even sure what that does to be honest.

    Re: My .308 reloading setup Thanks 308.....I won't be doing hundreds at a time, but that certainly does look like it would make things easier... Mallard...thanks for the input. The Lee manual was for me to get started reading and get a good idea of the fundamentals of what I'm going to be...

    My .308 reloading setup

    Re: My .308 reloading setup You know what's funny is I was going to get the powder trickler and it was on the list, but I didn't think I needed it. I guess I'll go ahead and pick one up. Like I said, this is my first venture into this arena so I have a lot of learning to do. I guess I really...

    looking for suggestions on new gear....

    Re: looking for suggestions on new gear.... Thanks to everyone that replied..... I ended up getting that Midway Range bag. I looked at others that were very similar, but the video of the bag is what sold me. I like the fact it's big enough to hold all my gear. I also called Southwest...

    looking for suggestions on new gear....

    Greetings everyone......within a week I will have my new rifle that I have been waiting on for about 4 months.
