    F T/R Competition Camp Perry F Class 2112

    Re: Camp Perry F Class 2112 Forgot to mention that it would be fantastic to structure the long range competition so that a shooter could partake in the f-class and sling matches.

    F T/R Competition Camp Perry F Class 2112

    Re: Camp Perry F Class 2112 I get the idea regarding squadding, its done side by side at the matches I attend. Even occasionally cross pollinating f-class with the HP folks on the same target depending on turnout. It would be nice to know the course of fire, or am I to understand that...

    F T/R Competition Camp Perry F Class 2112

    Re: Camp Perry F Class 2112 This is very welcome news. Like jetmd, I am curious at how shooters will be squadded. Any chance that the program would allow a shooter to participate in both f-class and HP sling matches? If so that would make a great but totally exhausting week!

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F/TR, gear other than the rifle

    Re: Starting out in F/TR, gear other than the rifle I'd add a large readout timer, depending on how the match director has things set up you can really adjust your strategy if you keep track of time. Especially if you are in a block time situation. Everyone has some kind of shooting mat, but...

    forster bushing bump die

    Re: forster bushing bump die I really like the bushing bump die. Very easy to adjust, very nice quality, and perfect for anyone not wanting to full length size, but control setback and neck tension. I have Forster and Redding micrometer seating dies. I prefer the Forster.

    New Winchester 308 brass

    Re: New Winchester 308 brass avidflyer, just loaded 250 new win .308 cases. For me all I do is use a mandrel die to smooth out the case necks, chamfer the mouth and get them fire formed. After they are fire formed, then I do the full prep (primer pocket uniforming, flash hole debur...

    What causes split necks? help please

    Re: What causes split necks? help please Since you have measured the brass to compare loaded vs fired, just set up the sizing die to bump the shoulder.002-.003 back from the fired dimension. Granted, since this chamber does seem a tad large, using a standard sizing die set up to just bump...

    reloading .223 for AR

    Re: reloading .223 for AR Like the posts above, Varget works very well in 223. Also, try Reloader 15. It is slightly more foregiving when metered.

    What primers for AR?

    Re: What primers for AR? The issue with primer selection in an AR platform, especially in .223/5.56, is the need for a harder cup. This need is due in some part to the design (floating firing pin) and operating pressures. The Rem 7.5, CCI, and Wolf Small Rifle Magnums all have a cup that is...

    155 Lapua

    Re: 155 Lapua The 155 Scenar shoots very well and tolerates jump. This can be a great solution for long throated factory Remingtons fired from the mag. While I have not yet found the upper node sweet spot in my rifle. 45.2 grains of Varget will yeild solid 1/2MOA groups, and many measure...

    I bore brushed my CZ .22 to death!

    Re: I bore brushed my CZ .22 to death! +1 for Kroil and JB Paste. After you are done shooting, while the barrel is still warm, punch the barrel with the Kroil and let it work its magic overnight. Then a couple of kroil swabs the next day followed by dry patches. It is amazing how well this...

    New AR breakin

    Re: New AR breakin Besides punching the barrel with a clean patch, and lubing the BCG, you should be good to go. For the first 2-300rds, make sure to inspect and relube the BCG just to watch for abnormal wear/and keep an eye on the carrier key bolts. (a non issue if correctly staked) If you...
