    Precision Mic Question

    Re: Precision Mic Question Even though you didn't say what caliber you are checking, I don't think it makes any difference. New brass SHOULD be at zero. I've seen readings as high as 5 out of some rifles, without any issues. If you are at 2-2.5, you have a pretty tight chamber. When you...

    Am I the only one who reloads .40?

    Re: Am I the only one who reloads .40? Or, Titegroup, behind a Zero, 180 grain jhp. If you can't find Zeros, Montana Golds will make holes too.

    RCBS Precision Mic.....(One more time)

    Re: RCBS Precision Mic.....(One more time) I believe the OP is on the right track. I don't remember how many I have, but, I've used the .223 the most, in ARs, and boltguns without any issues, but, I can't get the .308 to work in my DPMS. Maybe one of these days I'll try to take the extractor...

    Eley ammo in Volquartson

    The last time I shot my Volquartson, 10/22 I was using Eley "standard" ammo. I think I tried about 30 different loads, and although the Eley "Tenex" was a little more accurate, the "standard" was about 1/4th the price, and the 2nd most accurate out of my rifle. So, now I find out that Eley has...

    155 Scenar .308 - what an I doing wrong?

    Re: 155 Scenar .308 - what an I doing wrong? I've never used XBR powder, but, 155 grain scenars, with 46 grains of Varget behind them, will shoot 1/2" groups at 200 yards. The best I could get with the same load, with Sierra's was about 1".

    Favorite Powder for 52gr./53gr. Bullets?

    Re: Favorite Powder for 52gr./53gr. Bullets? I used to have an AR that LOVED Black Hills 52 grain. I couldn't find a handload that would ever match the accuracy of the Black Hills 52 grain stuff, in that rifle.

    Volquartsen 22lr

    Re: Volquartsen 22lr Tom did a "sniper" conversion on my 10/22, many years ago, when he was still doing centerfire pistols. He was the "gold standard" of accurate, 10/22 rifles. What ammo are you having the chamber cut for? Mine was cut for Winchester, T-22, but, it shoots more accurate with...

    eley tenex

    Re: eley tenex Tenex has always shot most accurate out of everything I tried it in, but, that was years ago. In my guns, I could usually find a more economical version made by Eley that shot close.

    Fireform/Neck only with an AR platform

    Re: Fireform/Neck only with an AR platform Ammo that has been neck sized only is generally more accurate, and it is a lot easier than full length resizing. Several years ago I neck sized, and loaded 3,000 rounds that I THOUGHT had been fired in the AR that I was taking out to South Dakota...

    WC844 in 308 w/175+ weight bullets?

    Re: WC844 in 308 w/175+ weight bullets? Several years ago I bought several jugs of 844 from a guy I knew and I shot some really nice groups out of my .223s with it. When I couldn't get any more, I tried some H335 and it wouldn't shoot nearly as well out of MY rifles. Every time I hear there's...

    .308 federal match brass

    Re: .308 federal match brass I no longer will use Federal rifle brass. If I buy Federal ammo, I'll sell the brass before I use it. Lapua is No.1, but, I'll use Winchester, or Black Hills as a close second.

    Varget volume?

    17HMR Ammo Sorting by Concentricity

    Re: 17HMR Ammo Sorting by Concentricity Do you think that maybe, along with heat being a factor, the shifting wind spoiled your findings? From the little bit of shooting I've done with my .17HMR, it seems that it doesn't take much of a wind to blow those little bullets around.
