    Zeroing a Redding Micrometer Seating Die

    Re: Zeroing a Redding Micrometer Seating Die Why zero it. Just dial it to your desired seating depth, and rock on. If you need .020" longer or shorter, just dial it in. Plus, if you switch to a different lot of bullets, your OAL can change and your zero will be off from an exact 2.800". It...

    Ejector mark on Brass

    Re: Ejector mark on Brass The ejector marks are caused by excessive pressure. When ammo or the chamber area of a rifle gets wet and a round is fired, the moisture in there causes an increase in pressure. It has to do with water trying to be compressed. Keep the ammo and chamber area dry and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry gun - Your thoughts?

    Re: Carry gun - Your thoughts? I've carried a G29 (10mm), Kahr PM40, and Kimber Ultra CDP II (3" 1911). I carry the Kahr PM40 when I'm wearing athletic shorts and light weight clothes. It truely is an easy carry weapon. If I'm wearing any shorts or pants that have a belt (90% of the time)...

    Range Report Federal Gold Medal Match in 308

    Re: Federal Gold Medal Match in 308 When you shoot from a short barrel you need 1 of two things (or both)- high BC bullets and as much speed as possible, leaning to the higher BC first. A 155 is ok since you can get it going decently fast. I personally like the 190 SMK. It has good BC, and...

    Range Report Hornady SST - anyone use these for hunting?

    Re: Hornady SST - anyone use these for hunting? I love the SST's, and they are my go-to-bullet for low cost (lower than premium stuff) and great performance on customers' rifles and my own. I've taken many deer and pigs with a 130 SST out of my 270 Win at 3198 fps, and they all have been DRT...

    Range Report 165 gmx vs 165 tsx in .308

    Re: 165 gmx vs 165 tsx in .308 Several things- The Barnes bullets will copper up a barrel quickly. The faster you push them, the faster they copper up. Clean the rifle every 20-30 rounds. Start with a clean rifle for each bullet. I have not had good luck mixing BTHP with Barnes bullets. They...

    Range Report Milk jugs to stop a 225.

    Re: Milk jugs to stop a 225. Yes, I would reduce the load to 600 yard velocities and test it at 50 or 100 yards. I will have a report on the 225 grain on deer and pigs when hunting season opens. I can not imagine a 225 grain 30 cal bullet not knocking something on it's @$$ from any distance...

    Range Report Milk jugs to stop a 225.

    Re: Milk jugs to stop a 225. 6 to make sure you catch it, but I think it should only penetrate about 3-4, maybe 5. I'd love to see the results!

    For the .270 whores

    Re: For the .270 whores William, I'm as big a 270 fan as anyone. What twist rate does it take to stabilize a 165 and 175 grain bullet in a 270? I don't see any info on their website about it. I wouldn't mind playing with some!

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards My hunting scopes I like to keep on about a 3 to 6 power, or more when needed. When target shooting, I run a 5.5-22 Nightforceon 22x. So, for 600 yards, a 3-15, 4-14, 3-12, power is good, and even a 3-10 is doable. I also look at the features of the...
