    Reloaded .308

    Re: Reloaded .308 It’s actually a bit more complicated since you pretty much have to include the cost of the brass. The flip side is if you buy factory match ammo and they use the brass that you are already using for reloading, you do recoup some of your cost since you inherit that once...

    Range Report Newbie To Persision Rifle - Keep Getting Flyers

    Re: Newbie To Persision Rifle - Keep Getting Flyers It could easily be something as simple as your ammunition. Even if you are shooting only FPGMM, the ammunition IMHO is not that perfect that you will not get a flier if you are shooting 5-10 round groups. Most people that get those fliers...

    5 FTFIRE with reloads for 223, WHY?

    Re: 5 FTFIRE with reloads for 223, WHY? If you are going to pull unfired round this weekend, you can easily check for the existence of high primers – put your finger on the head of the round and swipe it across, you will easily be able to detect high primers which sticks above the case head...

    5 FTFIRE with reloads for 223, WHY?

    Re: 5 FTFIRE with reloads for 223, WHY? This usually happen when you did not seat the primers in properly i.e. high primers. What happens is when the firing pin goes forward, it hits the primer but some of that force is used to push the primer in, the other problem is if the primer is not...

    WTF happened to this muzzle break?

    Re: WTF happened to this muzzle break? Remember, a muzzle break is designed to direct the muzzle blast sideways and backwards so that it’s energy will cancel some of the recoil of the gun. In order to do this when the bullet arrives at the port, it acts as a seal for the muzzle so the...

    Re: Krestrel 4500 NV eating batteries? Actually, this is the second time that my Krestrel has run out of power after 3 months. The first time I thought I had accidentally left it on, but it appears not to be the case. As for turn off the auto store function, I think the manual says that...
