    For the capable, experienced, non-combatant sportsman shooting steel or paper targets is there a significant objective reason to choose a $7K AI over

    And just to show that its what people like, for literally 1$ more then that 7999 package. I bought a 40 year old, 40 year old technology plain Jane Remington 700...lol

    Rifles are like beer. Everyone likes a different kind. Some cost more than others. They all get you drunk! Buy what you like!

    Custom Powder Funnel

    How about a kitchen funnel jammed into an RTV gasket maker nozzle? Works great!

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    No way man, I appreciate it! I had the RCBS hand primer 10-12 years ago when Ibwas doing this. It was alright, made the process a little faster but thats about it. No matter the tool used, its all about the "feel" of seating a primer. I dont mind using the press, it does a fine job once that...

    The Colt Accurized Rifle

    Yep, about 20 years ago and round aluminum hand guard with 2 bi pod studs. And yea I know you can do better but I remember that particular rifle and thought Id ask.

    The Colt Accurized Rifle

    About 15 years ago, I seen one in a gunshop. I swore I was going back to get it but I never did. It had a 24" stainless free float barrel and I think a 2 stage trigger. I am kind of thinkin I want one. Anyone have experience with them? How do they shoot? Not even sure if they pop up for sale...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    @Nodakplowboy , have you used the primer seater on the top? You have the early style like mine. Curious to know how yours works. I did 100 the other day. I thought the primer cup part is supposed to be screwed all the way in but had to back it out about 2 turns to get the primers in deep...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I took a 20 minute drive, scored a tumbler for 25 bucks off FB marketplace, stopped at the pet store and grabbed a bag of crushed walnut, added a shot of nu-finish and started cleaning some brass!

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Great info and yes, I see the worthy in it. Id love to be able to shoot to 1000 on a regular basis but Im cutoff at 300 yards.

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    I was typing while you were editing. I dont have anything against it. Just the way I was taught I guess. Back when I was shooting, Ive seen the guys with those fancy benchrest guns setup with chronos. Here I am plopping down with my clunky "sniper rifle" shooting just as good, better then some...

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Alright.. mind you, I was taught by an old timer and I haven't fired a rifle in 10 years, so I ask you this. What exactly is a chrono going to do for me other then telling me velocity? We still have to work through the load range and lengths to find what the optimal load is chrono or not, yes...

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Once again, you insist on me having a Chronograph to produce the most accurate loads for my rifle and and if I don't have it Im just assuming things. That may be the way you work and thats fine. "You keep doing you". That is probably the only way you know so thats why your insisting its the...

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    We all know different rifles= different results. Tuning the load is fun, isnt it? My M40A1 is also PWS built so its going to interesting to compare what I do to what you have already done. I was surprised to see what happened at 2.8771 with yours. Thats out there. You have done some fine work...

    I didn't go through it yet but that thread pretty much covers this one so maybe @lowlight can delete this one.

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Nice to know it is but not absolutely necessary. Others seem to think it is I guess. How did we all function without smartphones? If I dont have a smartphone, do I still need to be told "good luck"? Nahh, not my first rodeo but whatever. Its just conversation....

    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Ladder testing and group sizes at 100 has worked out pretty well for me. Not everyone needs state of the art technology to find what a particular rifle likes and shoot bugholes. I can start at 40g and work up or I can start at 41.5 which I know is real close and work up and down. End result is...
