    Case trimming: Hate it!!

    Re: Case trimming: Hate it!! Would Love one of those Super-High-End rigs but ended up with a RCBS Trim-Pro 2 with the 3-Way Cutter head. Get out the right angle drill and cranks 'em out. Very good uniformity with nice inside-outside chamfers. Not quite as sweet as above but had to keep...

    Case trimming: Hate it!!

    Re: Case trimming: Hate it!! Hey Sean...If you didn't hate case trimming we'd all be wondering what's the matter with you anyways... It's a normal and healthy aversion... That will be $300.00 please for your "shrink" session. He, he, he.

    8208 XBR and 69g Noslers

    OK, let's see how these 69g puppies fly sitting on top of XBR. Am looking for <span style="font-weight: bold">ONE</span> load to quantity-produce a really sweet 100-300 yd. combo and stop screwing around in the "mad-scientist lab" everytime I make ammo. Cooked-Up 15 rounds each of 6 different...

    Re: Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy Thanks for posting a Picture Temp9! Now I have a Really Good feel for kernel size with the best possible things to compare them to...the other powders...Super! I think I will give that stuff a shot after I burn-up the AR-COMP. It' looking pretty close to...

    Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy

    Re: Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy If it's anything like the extra-small extrusion kernel of Benchmark it will be great in the progressive. I just don't know if the 8208 XBR is made up of extrusions like AR-COMP ( a little smaller than Varget) or the really small and easy to throw...

    Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy

    Re: Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy Hello xmark, AR-COMP is just not holding really well in the progressive press measure as I was hoping for. Better than Varget, YES, but still an un-predictable range of .1 - .3 spread. Too Much for my liking. What has been your experience on the 8208-XBR...

    Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy

    Re: Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy Great feedback everybody. On TAC comments above, I see that stuff would progressive-meter like water if anything like their X- Terminator. I don't have any feel for how close TAC will get to Match-Bench grade accuracy. You just never hear it used in that...

    Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy

    Re: Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy Hi Temp9, great info there and thanks much. By the "popcorn" remark I meant the crunching & chomping it sometime takes in the reloading press stroke to shear-through those darn Varget kernels. It just reminds me of chewing on un-popped corn kernels. I...

    Reloader 15 and AR COMP Accuracy

    Hello Gent's, Any input or real-world experience of how AR-Comp should / does cmpare to RL-15 when running 69 g. Nosler CC's in a 1-8 twist, 18" barrel? Not interested in Varget as I may as well put pop-corn kernels in the PTX measure. Sometimes so bad it closes sized neck with up-stroke force...

    I'm stuck on 2 barrels for my build... help?

    Re: I'm stuck on 2 barrels for my build... help? Yes, they are shown on Ranier's site. 18" SPR, 1-8 twist, rifle gas, Wylde chambered, hand lapped, ratchet-rifled, Shillen blank. I think they are chambered by WOA or Compass Lake. Not cheap but a very nice pipe.

    I'm stuck on 2 barrels for my build... help?

    Re: I'm stuck on 2 barrels for my build... help? What TEMP9 says. I have this 18" Ranier Ultra-Match SPR stainless barrel in 1-8, Rifle Gas and it is a consisten Tack Driver. Reaches tightest groups after 20-30 fouling shots and then stays tight. Leave it fouled between trips to range with...

    New Timney Trigger Installed

    Re: New Timney Trigger Installed Got a 3 Lb. Timmney and like it. Good, clean break. Actually wish it was about 1.5 lb as I just shoot groups, but still Quality kit.
