    My 280AI RidgeLine likes em. I found 3 more lbs of 8133. That is a good combo in mine. Too bad they quit making it. 7977 wasn’t too bad.

    I did not keep the targets. I shot for speed. The targets were at 100 yds and all were in a 1/2" group most of them touching. Obvious way to close per everything ive seen heard or read, 300yds is the minimum everybody says. ill never hunt with this rig past 300. I have to say I am not a big fan...

    I purposely ran it 3 times for that very reason those results are the 2nd and 3 time. Previous numbers look identical. I'm so confused now my head hurts. its obvious the starting and ending loads are not good (73 & 29 fps difference) the rest are within 3-4 fps. There is the actual scratch paper...

    Well, hear me out on this. I’m not being an ass and I’m not trying to be a jerk that you’re telling me that all these people that are shooting across lab radars and shooting across magneto’s are wasting their time? I’ve been told there are two ways to do. This. One of them is to shoot paper at...

    I just want to know what the OCW is and what is max. After that I like to find what jump is best. Those Barnes monolithic bullets DO NOT like being jammed into the or right off the lands. Somewhere in the .050-.075 off is the best I have found.

    Ya lost me. I have done this same test and seen wildly different results in other guns. What do I do differently? None were heavy bolt lift or high pressure signs that I could see. That is 1 grain above book min to book max range of powder

    OK guys wheres my node? Obviously its not 40.3 or 42.1 they were the worst. That is 2 strings, Same day, shot in opposite order (Low to high then high to low). Carefully look at the different colors on the graph. They are almost identical. the load is a 243 Winchester, 85 gr TSX, RL-16 powder...

    TSX 85 in a 243Win

    I’m hoping they won’t see it coming haha. 1/4”ish clover leaf. Plenty good for hunting out to 300

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    I am somewhat of a electronics geek and HAM radio guy . I mess with electronic stuff all the time. I am currently working on an antenna array (to bounce a signal off the moon and over to Europe on 144Mhz) Is there anyone willing to just build this thing for me if I pay ya and send ya the parts...

    The Stress just keeps building seven dead in VA

    These type of shootings are making it very hard on those that own firearms and CAN keep it together. Sad day for the victims. I can say first hand as a Paramedic in a major city I have seen this personally. It’s all bad! Horrific scene.

    Demo how to cut foam in rifle case from Optics Planet

    Too bad those high end cases don’t come with an extra foam piece cause after 3 attempts mine look like crap 😂🤣😆 I’m ordering number 4&5 for another try.

    Good deal man my fire forming loads are MEH at best after that its on! Mine likes 7977 as well with 162s. Dont know If I mentioned it but all 6 of my Christensens will max out BEFORE book max. Normally about 2 grains BUT BUT BUT the speed will be there. They cut them chambers short and tight. It...

    I'm telling ya don't worry about the COL. if it shoots good at .007 off the lands go with it. So many guys get all bent otta shape cause their bullets aren't seated way out. Every stinking one of my Christensens shoot FASTER than book with LESS powder and shoot good hunting size groups (<.5MOA)...

    I’ve got 5 or 6 lbs of 7977. Never will use all of it. I’d trade some lb for lb for some 8133
