    10 grain difference

    I got a small pile of 7mmRM brass, I sorted it by weight since it came from different boxes. The difference between the light and heavy is 10 grains. Is this going to make enough difference to cause pressure problems between the extremes? The gun it is for is a hunting rifle only. I can only...

    reloading for friends

    Re: reloading for friends If they bought their own powder and bullets and used their own brass, would that be enough to keep me out of the liability problems? What if I get them to sign a liability waiver?

    reloading for friends

    I know this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything. I have a couple friends that want me to load them some accurate ammo for various rifles. I know I probably shouldn't for liability reasons, but was wondering what you guys do? I currently load for my family, which is less than...

    Rifle Scopes $100 budget

    Re: $100 budget I have a Bushnell 4200 3-9x40 that I took off my 308. It has some heavy ring marks and the power ring feels like it has some grit or a rough spot in it. I was thinking of sending it in for repair, but I don't think it is hurting anything. My uncle agreed to $200 cash if I...

    what to do?

    I tested a few loads today for a .243 that belongs to a friend. I found a load that shoots less than 1/2" at 100yds using a 100gr remington corelokt and 41.0gr of IMR4350. The velocity was 2785. He uses this gun for a hunting rifle for his kids. The velocity seems a little low and the powder...

    Range Report Does this seem right

    Re: Does this seem right I'm running the same 155smk and 46.5gr varget. SPS-T with a velocity of 2720. The eskimo card is very close. I only tested it out to 300yds, but it works. Less than 1/2 MOA difference.

    which reloading press?

    Re: which reloading press? You guys always make me spend more money than planned, but oh-well. T7 it is. Its nice to have a place to ask questions and get real answers fast.

    which reloading press?

    Re: which reloading press? I'm not sure I need a turret press, I haven't got that far into the reloading game yet to understand the need for the turret. Does it make reloading 20 or so shells at a time that much easier? I usually load a few then change calibers and load a few more. The...

    which reloading press?

    Its time for me to get a new press. I was looking at the redding Boss, Big Boss and Big Boss II. What is the difference and how do they compare to the Rockchucker supreme?

    Chrony Tripods?

    Re: Chrony Tripods? I bought a cheap telescopic tripod from chinamart for $14, it folds down to 12" long and works fine for a chrony. Its actually smaller than the chrony and makes my range bag have more room for bullets

    Rifle Scopes $100 budget

    Re: $100 budget I am more concerned with the reliability of the scope than the clarity. I know you can't get much for $100, including the sight-in, I bet he doesn't shoot 15 shots a year. He normally sights it in by leaning across a 4-wheeler seat or proping on a tree limb at 100yds, and if...

    Rifle Scopes $100 budget

    Re: $100 budget I was thinking maybe a Sightron S1 or Nikon prostaff or such if I could find one on clearance or used. I just haven't had any experience with some of the better cheap scopes, if there is such a thing.

    Rifle Scopes $100 budget

    My uncle needs a new scope for his .308 hunting rig. The previous simmons POS broke, imagine that? He dont want to spend over $100 no matter how much I try to convince him that a higher end scope will hold up better, you al know people like this. I figured I could find something decent either...

    Is it me or what?

    Re: Is it me or what? Same brass, all came from a batch of hornady match. The barrel was warm and fouled since these were the last 5 shots of the day.

    Is it me or what?

    Re: Is it me or what? Thanks for finally noting the group numbers MT300RUM. I had a hard time believing both of us pulled to the same point. It is correct that my group and my dads group was split. I shot a 1.5 inch group at the same distane just minutes before using 155SMK's instead of...

    Is it me or what?

    Re: Is it me or what? 1 inch squares. zero wind. no adjustments. They are all low because the scope is dialed for my 155SMK load. I knew they would be low, I just wanted to get a idea on the grouping of the 175's so I didn't move the scope at all.

    Is it me or what?

    Re: Is it me or what? This was the last five shots of the day. I shot about 25 times before this set. These five were shot within a 2 minute span.

    Strechin' out the SPS-T

    Re: Strechin' out the SPS-T My so called range is really a power-line right of way on my deer lease in the middle of nowhere. The grass is too high to lay on the ground and a rest heavy enough to be stable would require extra people to load it, and I dont want to leave it out there, since it...
