    RCBS ChargeMaster 1500: Some Comments to Improve Consistency

    I've noticed that RCBS ChargeMaster 1500s appear frequently for sale on the forum. In case the reason for selling is erratic measurements, I would like to offer some comments based on my experience. About the first thing I did when I got my unit was to find the hacks to speed it up. As I used...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    As the weather here has gradually warmed, the ground squirrels (striped and Wyoming) that were absent all winter have returned. Not being farmers or gardeners, we enjoy watching the little rodents.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Had one. Road it coast-to-coast a couple times (escaping my first wife). Greatest all-around bike in the world. Sold it when money got tight. One of the dumbest things I've ever done.

    Range Report Hornady Frontier: A (Very) Modest Test

    I normally reload for my ARs but thought it would be handy in case of emergency to see what factory ammo gave reasonable performance. A fellow shooter had recommended the Frontier line, and knowing that at least two of my ARs preferred Hornady bullets, I bought three boxes of the 5.56 NATO BTHP...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Okay, no religion and no luscious naked bodies (of the female persuasion), but if you occasionally like your blues raw, loud and delivered with high energy, it would be tough to top this Irishman. Rory Gallagher Live At Rockpalast 1979

    The ship would actually pull out of Norfolk Naval Base on a "training" cruise, get past the 3-mile limit, and open the ship's store until all the cigarettes were gone. (About 14 seconds.) And then steam back up that looong channel.

    How about $2.50 for a carton of Marlboros? Thank heavens I quit 20 years ago. $5 a pack many places.

    Range Report Berger 144-gr Long Range Hybrid

    I'll have to give these a try. So far, my 6.5 barrel (Krieger) will accurately shoot *only* Lapua Scenar 139 gr bullets. Berger 140-gr VLD and 140-gr Hybrid just shot patterns. They work just fine in another rifle.

    The best German beer I ever had was Schwabenbrau Bock beer that I had in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. I normally could easily hold my own with beer, but two tankards of that at the festival definitely got me little woozy. I quit drinking beer when I returned to the States.

    This one fits perfectly. I'll take it; two sizes smaller.

    Had one of those do that to the water hose on my car while I was deployed. Cute but remarkably destructive. And why they like rubber and plastic is anyone's guess.

    Reloading Equipment WTB: .308, 110-gr jacketed bullets

    A good suggestion. I'll do that and see how they work in a regular M1 Carbine. Thank you, Richard

    Reloading Equipment WTB: .308, 110-gr jacketed bullets

    I load to standard velocity of 1920fps. (Actually, I'm a little closer to 2000fps.) Because of that, I've never used the Berry bullets. I'm not sure what would happen if used in my M2 Carbine. Thank you, Richard
