    New Project!!!

    Re: New Project!!! Sounds like a fun little rifle. I have considered doing this quite a few times for the same reasons. The prices for quality 223 hand loading supplies are crazy cheap. Make sure to post up some pics.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS 5-15x44 Mil-Dot

    Re: Vortex Viper HS 5-15x44 Mil-Dot To the best of my knowledge it is a SFP. It could be set up like the SFP PSTs meaning the reticle substentions are accurate on 15X and there is a mark on the mag rings at 7.5 letting you know it's 2X at that mag level. Perhaps Scott can chime in on this...

    Hunting & Fishing Fishing pic thread

    Re: Fishing pic thread Nice Largemouth. By the looks of your location I am guessing Norris Lake or the that general area. I spent a lot of time down there growing up. Grandparents had a lakefront house by Twin Cove Marina. Had some good days on that lake.

    FN SPR 284 Win - short action

    Re: FN SPR 284 Win Build Complete (pretty much) Looks like some good info. Were your loads at 54 grains compressed? I am glad you had no pressure signs yet. I am confident you will reach 2,900+ with the 162s

    Some 284Win / 7mm projectile findings

    Re: Some 284Win / 7mm projectile findings Yea I will be dissapointed beyond belief if I cant get mid 2800s let alone 2700s. I would like to know a little more detail on his load, rifle and more. That seems way to slow. Or wrong powder selection. I have high hopes for 2000MR in the 284!

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design I doubt I am up for a project like that. I like the idea of my own lathe though. lol. Honestly that is the only feasable way to get a mid BC .224 bullet out of a 22 rimfire barrel. I also have a better understanding of the 22LR as a whole and now understand why...
