    AAC-SD break in period???

    Re: AAC-SD break in period??? Load data from lyman 49th edition. Already did a ladder test at 500 yards from what I could see my best loads were 43, 43.3, 44 but that's with it shooting like crap so my data could be way off. Guess I'm gonna have to get a torque wrench and start all over...

    AAC-SD break in period???

    I have put about 200-250 rounds through my new AAC-SD and I still can't get it to group any better than 1.5-2" at 100 yards. How many rounds does it take to break them in? I have tried running a hand load I worked up but it did not do any better. I have a B&C stock, brake, bushnell 3200 elite...

    Reloading Set Up/Trimmer Needed

    Re: Reloading Set Up/Trimmer Needed I have a Forster and I really don't like the collet style case holders like the Forster has. It's a pain and takes too long to get the case set properly when the trimmer is flat on the bench. The only way I can get it to sit right is pick the trimmer up...

    how much does it cost to hand load properly?

    Re: how much does it cost to hand load properly? I started off with the notion of trying to keep it cheap, but the more I read and the more I learned the more I spend. Yes, you can do it cheaper but the more you learn about reloading the more you will spend so that you don't have to buy...

    Targets

    Re: Targets Yeah search my posts I had a description of how to make the top shot targets with the .22 tannerite. You use packaging tape the tannerite and a piece of 2x10 wood. Its simple and works at almost any distance. Its makes the tannerite last a lot longer than just one shot and...

    Stuff to shoot.

    Re: Stuff to shoot. I use that exploding tannerite target material and have a way to make it last a lot longer. I set it up so I can get about 10-15 8'' targets out of one tub. When you shoot it it looks just like the targets on top shot. It doesn't explode but it creates a nice fireball...

    shot my .308 for the first time today

    Re: shot my .308 for the first time today I have the exact same scope on my AAC-SD and I love it for now. I'm new to the long range world but I have made plenty of 600 yard shots with mine no problem. As my fundamentals get better I could justify buying a better scope but for now its...
