    Blowing primers at MINIMUM load?

    Quantumkid, that was an interesting read. Thanks for the link. I contacted Forster about my N.M. dies and made sure everything was good. No problems with the dies. They walked me thru resetting them and checking case shoulder set back, i already knew how to do it, but had them walk me thru it...

    Blowing primers at MINIMUM load?

    I know sierra lists the load lower than Hodgdons recommendations of 42.0-45.0C. I have already ordered the Hornady cartridge case headspace gauges and will measure everything up again as soon as they get in. I have a feeling that its a combination of things and not just one thing in particular...

    Blowing primers at MINIMUM load?

    I have just ordered the Hornady cartridge case headspace gauges so that i can measure shoulder bump, but i have never had this problem before. But then again, this is my first time to sit down and work up a load for this gas gun. Also, seeing as George recommends around the 42 grain mark, what...

    G.A. Precision OR Texas Brigade Armory? Notice i didn't say VS:

    Knight11B4, i forgot about how much George has helped out not just this site but the shooting community as a whole. Between donations and everything else, I have a feeling your comment alone has reminded me where my money should go. Not to say that others didn't have a valid point. But i greatly...

    G.A. Precision OR Texas Brigade Armory? Notice i didn't say VS:

    Well, i need opinions and prior experience with this one guys and galls. I have an M24 with over 10,000 rds down the tube and its time to rebarrel. I will be going with a Bartlein barrel and both GAP and TBA say they either have it in stock or can get it quickly. So getting the barrel isn't a...

    RWS .300wm Brass, group buy???

    Re: RWS .300wm Brass, group buy??? Well JC, looks like its just the two of us. I will be contacting the distribution company on Monday to get a better idea of shipping, and total cost. Once that is done I will come up with a more accurate price per 100. I just have to make sure I cover my...

    How many reloads become unsafe?

    Re: How many reloads become unsafe? All great replies guys, thank you. Inode, No i havent done the math to see what it was saving me. I honestly didnt reload them this many times intentionally. In the process of moving i had my regular log still packed up and didnt use it to log the last...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint CompM3 or Eotech EXPS-3?

    Re: Aimpoint CompM3 or Eotech EXPS-3? In speaking about the "out of round" dot, i was referring only to when using the NVGs with a magnifier attached. I primarily own Aimpoint Micro T-1s But the eotech has its place when run with a magnifier attached to the PVS-14. I would recommend that you...

    Help me set up, please.

    Re: Help me set up, please. If I'm loading in quantity for my M4 to just plink, i use a Hornady LNL AP, but if im loading for accuracy in anything else, i still use a single stage.

    How many reloads become unsafe?

    Re: How many reloads become unsafe? Currently most of them have been trimmed 3 times. I am meticulous about reloading. I was into benchrest shooting for a while, so some of my habits are a bit anal when it comes to reloads. At times i still find myself chasing that 1 hole group instead of...

    Which 308 AR

    Re: Which 308 AR Personally, i would go Larue OBR. I have 2 DPMS rifles, one is a LR308 with the 24" ss bull and the other is the 308 sportical. The LR308 routinely shoots around 0.7 moa. The sportical, i have not shot enough to give a fair accuracy assessment yet. If i were just looking for...

    XM 193 vs DRT for HD

    Re: XM 193 vs DRT for HD I agree that there are FAR better choices. Personally i use 50 grain TSX or 75 grain TAP. To answer your question, If those are your only choices due to budget, I would personally choose the M193 because in those close ranges it will tend to fragment quite well. If...

    Montana Gold bullets?

    Re: Montana Gold bullets? I have had good accuracy with them. They seem to be pretty good for the price.. I personally wouldnt use them for SD/HD but for range and competition ammo, its hard to beat the price in my opinion. I have used the same bullets in my glock 23c and my glock 35.

    How many reloads become unsafe?

    Re: How many reloads become unsafe? I understand that in the firing process that your brass flows and that is what causes a case to get longer, hence trimming. But i have never read in a reloading manual or anywhere else, how many times you can safely reload brass. That is why i posted the...
