    Question on LC 7.62 brass

    How can LC LR brass be I identified? Is it just an LR added to the head stamp and it is heavier/ thicker? This brass is FL sized, swaged, trimmed, and stainless media tumbled. I will run it through my fl sizing die first for consistency. Since these pieces have already been sized prior to...

    Question on LC 7.62 brass

    I have an opportunity to get some LC 66 and newer LC brass with modern year stamps. I am told the LC66 is extra heavy and real primo brass. I will be using it for precision reloads in my LR 308. What is everyone's opinion on it for this application? I would prefer some Winchester but if the...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Thanks for the info Dan. I would try it but 168 and 175 FGMM don't shoot well from my REPR anyways. I will however duplicate some M118 LR and some MK 316 and see how they do.

    Looking for 16" Match Grade Barrel for AR

    After a lot of reading I went with a noveske recon 16"er. I haven't got the build finished yet but you won't be able to beat them.

    LC Brass sorting???

    I am considering using LC brass in lue of the scarcity of Winchester 308 brass. Is it comparable to Winchester for quality, durability, accuracy, etc?

    Strange things happening in load development. Thoughts???

    Mike, it might help you if you try your load work up at 300 if you can. 400 was a little long but gave me some good info in addition to the 300 yard line. Is your gas setting on N? Does the gas knob move freely? I only had 2 nodes from 40 up to 45 grains. There are two good articles you can...

    Keeping your powder dry!

    I'm in the great state of Wyoming where it is always DRY and distances are LONG. So I don't have to worry about it. :cool:

    Strange things happening in load development. Thoughts???

    Mike, I don't have a chrono so I don't know what my speed is. My drop at 400 yards is almost 34", and using a couple ballistics programs my fps should be about 2509. Its not precise but it will do for now and I will continue truing as I move out further, until I get a chronograph. Why are you...

    Strange things happening in load development. Thoughts???

    I have a REPR 20 that I am doing some load development for. My load work up was done at 300 & 400 yards. At 300 the POI was the same as you described. At 400 the POI was as you would expect. Higher charges hitting higher. I'm curious what your loads you are coming up with are. I have come...

    Source for Nylon and Velcro?

    Great thread. Thanks for the link LCJones. My wife is going to make me a shooting mat soon and this info was just in time. I'll be going with the good ol' MARPAT. :cool:

    Nickel Boron BCG's?

    Also check out phase five tactical. I have used 3 of their bolt carriers and no complaints so far, although not many rounds through them.

    Question on winchester once fired .308 brass

    I need to build up a stock of brass for my LR308. Currently I only have 29 pieces of Winchester brass for my load I have worked up. Will performance suffer from buying once fired 308 brass from midway, Natchez, etc. as opposed to waiting for brand new brass? Of course I will fl resize it and...

    What packs are people running for thier bugout bags?

    Thanks for chiming in ceylonc I hear a lot about you. I am leaning towards the eberlestocks because of their quality, price point, and internal scabbard design. I have also thought about the ILBE and alice pack.

    Noveske bbl production status?

    That is too bad. They were out of stock, but I got on their email notification list and ordered one when they came in.

    What packs are people running for thier bugout bags?

    I am wondering if you guys are using cheapo bags or higher end packs such as eberlestock, etc. I don't have any type of pack yet and am considering doubling my future purchases of and eberlestock to be used as a hunting, rifle match kit, and BOB. Any cheap (-$50) american made packs out there...

    Rifle Scopes If you could go back in time....

    I would say save up for a while and in the meantime keep researching what you want for when you order. You will thank yourself in 6 months when you have a S&B. You could also think about USO. I have an SN3 3-17x44 that is outstanding and slightly cheaper than the Schmidt. Don't forget about...

    My First AR Build

    I acquired a Noveske barrel a while ago for a build I am in the middle of. I would say go with the barrel that has the best reputation for accuracy that you can afford. Go with a quality mount, QD if you prefer, and buy the best glass you can afford with just a little more magnification than...
