    Rifle Scopes Paid for a SWFA and got a Tasco. Should I be mad?

    Re: Paid for a SWFA and got a Tasco. Should I be mad? Old history lesson. TASCO never made the SS scope. They marketed it. When tasco went tits up SWFA picked up the name and marketing rights. Still made in the original factory by the original folks. ( Never made by Hakko ) An SS1042M is...

    Can the Libyan Rebels Win w/o US Boots on ground

    Re: Can the Libyan Rebels Win w/o US Boots on ground Don't know if the untrained can defeat those with training without outside influence. I'll be prepared to care when we start supporting our fellow citizens in the border states rather than persecuting them for defending their rights...

    178 amax / 175 SMK

    Re: 178 amax / 175 SMK The 168 SMK in some loads/twists will make 1k with ease but the wind fight will discourage you. The 168 Amax will do 1k in good form, equal to the 175smk. The 178 Amax will make you wonder why you ever shot smk's as far as wind deflection goes. Having said all that...

    Powder Temperature Stability The bottom line!

    Re: Powder Temperature Stability The bottom line! Vaget doesn't move much, my experience mirrors Robs. Do a load with N160 at 70 degrees at try it at 100 degrees. It is not at all stable in temp swings and has a huge knee in the curve from about 50 degrees F downward. Re15 swings but not as...

    Tsunami Warning for US West Coast

    Re: Tsunami Warning for US West Coast I was living on the Oregon coast when Anchorage had their 9.2 quake and generated a big wave. We barely had high tide. With today's media reporting I'm certain we'd all have died.

    repeating stuck cases.

    Re: repeating stuck cases. I went so far as to write and ask Hornady to take that stuff off the market. Had the same issue as you, as well as not being able to control headspace consistantly. The aerosol works fine.

    Dillon 550B & Match Ammo

    Re: Dillon 550B & Match Ammo if you're not going to weigh charges, get the adapter and put a uniflow measure on the Dillon. Reserve the Dillon measure for ball powders. You can still use the dillon while weighing charges; there will be a good increase in production just from processing 4...

    Dusty cleaning media??

    Re: Dusty cleaning media?? Chad, About 10 minutes before you remove the brass, dump in a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol and close the lid. Cases will come out shiny and clean.

    .338-06

    Re: .338-06 Nothing bad to say about the 338-06. Good bullet selection, light recoil ( as compared to a full on 338 winmag ) great accuracy and good trajectories make it an easy rifle to hunt with. Mine is on a VZ24 mauser and gets used for everything except cotton tails. Tried it...

    223 vs 22-250

    Re: 223 vs 22-250 I've had both. If I could call the barrel twist it would be 1:7 and 223 all the way. Was an avid 22-250 fan using heavy bullets until I got my 1st 223 rem and shot 80gr sierra's.

    Case Trimmers: Forster vs L.E. Wilson

    Re: Case Trimmers: Forster vs L.E. Wilson I use the Foster units in multiple calibers without incident. Much of the problem with trimming is the shell holder collet. Use the correct collet, and seat the case head consistantly, you'll see improved results. Mine at least will trim straight...
