    Range Report Know-It-Alls (We all know at least one right?)

    I will shut him up my own way. I tried to explain it to him first. Guess he has to see it to believe it.

    Range Report AAC-SD 175gr Sierra MatchKing/RL-17 ladder testing (400yds)

    This wasn't an OCW test. It was my first attempt at a ladder test at 400yds.

    Range Report Know-It-Alls (We all know at least one right?)

    Funny you say that. He is a deputy. Not saying they are all like that but just happens to be true this time. I think what I will do is take him to our range one day in the near future and let him show me some 600-1000yd shots and see what he can do.

    Range Report Know-It-Alls (We all know at least one right?)

    Had a friend stop by last nite and saw my ladder targets I had sitting around and he said "Man, somebody needs to work on their form." I told him it was at 400yds and each ladder had 11 shots and none of those were the same charge. He said "Man, you ought to be putting em in a quarter at only...

    Rifle Scopes Struggling with scope options: fixed, var, cheap, midrange?

    If you are going to ONLY shoot 100-300yds then a swfa 10x will definitely fit that need and cheaply. A 6x or 8x would be even better to me. There are plenty of people out there shooting to 1000yds with a 10x scope and if the military doesn't have a problem with it why should we? Some people...

    .308 Honady 178 HPBT & RL17 Need load

    These are the numbers I got shooting 175gr Sierra MatchKings in my AAC-SD(20"/1:10 twist) today. Should be pretty close to 178gr HPBT. Of course, velocities will vary depending on your barrel length. I saw no pressure signs all the way up to 49gr and may load some a bit higher looking for a new...

    Range Report AAC-SD 175gr Sierra MatchKing/Varget ladder testing (400yds)

    45gr was just starting to compress the powder at 2.80" OAL and one of the 2 shots had a slightly tight bolt. From shooting 178 AMAX I know that 45.5gr is my max on Varget for that weight bullet at that OAL. I made these rounds a couple weeks ago before I decided to start loading everything to my...

    I hope I can get my lil girl to do that one day. Looks like I have almost 12 years to get her there.

    What is causing these gouges on my brass?

    Did it only happen at 43.5gr and no other charge? Did you do anything different for those rounds when you loaded them? Different neck tension, different OAL, etc?

    What is causing these gouges on my brass?

    Look like ejector marks from too much pressure to me.

    Price Gouging

    Yeah, I sent CTD a couple of e-mails almost a year ago when they switched over to all the different warehouses. They spread everything all over then you have to pay double the shipping to get what you really need. And why do they need to charge a shipping fee and a handling fee? If you are going...

    Price Gouging

    Although I don't like this situation either and I speak my mind to those who are taking advantage of the situation, I guess they have the right to do whatever they want but I am paying attention to the situation and will decide who I will still buy from after all this is over.

    For the first time in almost a month I actually ordered some and it was shipped on the same day. Thanks.

    .308 win seating depth

    I would think 43.8gr would put you pretty close to 2500-2550 range. That's looking at numbers from my aac-sd and an average looking at that charge on many different forums. I know exactly what you are talking about when you say deep throat. Mine works out to 2.935" touching the lands with...

    Marking your brass???

    I put one line on the rim for once fired brass, 2 for twice fired, etc. The only problem with this is after it comes out of the tumbler the line may be faded or completely gone. I try to only put brass in my tumbler that has been fired the same amount of times and when I take them out I remark...

    Desperately seeking Varget.

    Just backorder it if someone will let you. If I find any locally I ain't telling because I need it too. I have some on order over at midsouthshooters. Probably won't see it for a month or more but at least I am in line.
