    Love my Vic123

    After much harrassment by my best friend to get an Acculab VIC123, I finally did. WOW!!! I love it. I've had an RCBC 304 (Ohaus) for several decades and trust it implicitly. It's big, easy to adjust to what ever weight I want and, like throwing powder, will weigh very accurately if the same...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting w/ your tact rifle, packing it n your gear

    Thinking about hunting this fall with my 16 lb Surgeon in 6.5x47L. My favorite spot is a skootch over 11,000'. I normally use a Eberlestock J107 but this rifle won't fit in the scabbard. Thinking of buying another Eberlestock with a larger scabbard but wanted to see who hunts with their...

    Re: 140's In 260rem Have pushed it upto 42 gr of H4350 in my Rem 700 CLD SF Limited w/ 26" barrel. Several cases showed ejector marks with OAL at 2.825". Vel hit 2733 fps with 1.66" groups. I gave up on this powder/bullet combo because for this rifle 1.66" group was terrible. I have no...

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR Saw 4 lbs of 8208 at the Sportsman Warehouse in Provo, Utah the other day. Probably means if you have a SW near you, they might have some too. Alan

    AICS 1.5 vs McMillian A4/A5

    Re: AICS 1.5 vs McMillian A4/A5 I'd also ask how soon do you want it. Could be months to get a McM; days for an AICS. That's the way it was for me and I love my AICS. Alan

    runout....where to measure?

    Re: runout....where to measure? On my Berger VLD's I measure right on the very end of the bearing surface before it turns into the ogive. For numbers I take the total run out and then with a fine point marker write it on the bullet's surface. The bullets are then sorted in my MTM cartridge...

    Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep

    Re: Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep TresMon, I'm thinking out loud here so this is not a hit on your technique. Why do you anneal "after" you size? If one anneals after sizing could the necks dimensions be tweaked a bit out of round or intended size via the heat. Do you...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope

    Re: Spotting Scope I got my "used" US Spotter from a Hide member last fall. It came with the MOA reticle turned 90 deg since he mounted on the side of a tripod which also steadied his rifle. I had a side by side test with my Zeiss 15-45 and their was no comparison. So, I thought I'd sell...

    Preferred attatchment point for AICS

    I'm going with the TAB sling but wanted to get opionions from those who have the AICS about where they prefer to attach and why? I run a Harris bipod if that makes a difference. Alan
