    Ejector Marks

    Re: Ejector Marks I doubt the rifle is the problem. Federal brass sucks for semis. Use Winchester or better, Lake City, but not machine gun brass. If at all possible, use new brass. Someone else's brass could be nothing but trouble. Freeze the brass before loading it and it will be...

    Rifle Scopes USO SN3 Reticle/EREK Knob config.

    Re: USO SN3 Reticle/EREK Knob config. The windage knob? Leave it alone when shooting. Set it for zero, ensure your scope is mounted correctly such that holdovers amount to no windage corrections, i.e; scope elevation must track up and down in a straight line. Hold into the wind for...

    Rifle Scopes USO SN3 Reticle/EREK Knob config.

    Re: USO SN3 Reticle/EREK Knob config. The fix is easy. Have USO to make for you a custom elevation knob in range increments, and then, the difference won't matter. I run mine like this and like it. The only difference between mine and yours is my reticle is subtended in mil. Learn MOA as...

    Ejector Marks

    Re: Ejector Marks This is strange. FGMM, to me, was mild when I last used it several years ago. And, the label was ".308Win". So, in addition to the label, there must be something different about his ammo. Hotter?

    Re: http://zediker.com/books/handloading/hlmain.html CEL. That's fine. Several years ago I got back in the game after a 20 year absence. So even with years of familiarity I too had to study and make sense of hand loading all over again. I would study a step while loading that step at...

    Re: http://zediker.com/books/handloading/hlmain.html Stop. Before you even start. Yes, the book is not perfectly written. But the information contained is excellent.

    Gunsmithing Browning Auto-5 restoration; A work in progress

    Re: Browning Auto-5 restoration; A work in progress I use a gel stripper that contained in a bronze colored can - don't recall the name, but it works. Use care on the fore stock. They are fragile.

    Re: RL 17 Temp Sensitivity I'm sure you know what you're doing, and sometime in a statement I actually mean for someone else to read it in addition to the OP.

    RL 17 Temp Sensitivity

    Re: RL 17 Temp Sensitivity This is an example of how rumors and lawsuits get started. I did not write that a good load could not be developed without OCW. Here's what I wrote: And, if you develop your load properly (OCW) <span style="color: #FF0000">ambient temp swings are even less...

    RL 17 Temp Sensitivity

    Re: RL 17 Temp Sensitivity Research Optimal Charge Weight. I'm worn out from preaching about it. Put it this way. Not knowing what it is is like a mechanic not knowing how to change earl in the motor like Goober on Mayberry, RFD.

    Re: Buttstock squeeze bag materials Dead grass/hay. I discovered this by accident - got down prone - not fn pinch bag, but I had a flannel bag that zipped closed on one end and was sewn on the the other three sides, that was a silver ware bag I'd found without the silver but I was using it...

    Why go 6mm creedmoor/XC over 243?

    Re: Why go 6mm creedmoor/XC over 243? Too many shooters allow non-issues to be issues such as making a long action an issue. I've run both. After a few rounds in the long action I became accustomed to, and proficient with the long action. But then, 6Rem does not require a long action...
