    Looking for a good Chronograph

    Re: Looking for a good Chronograph I'm a happy CED M2 user. I got one of the first M2's as my first chronograph. I've used the club's chrony once or twice and always was concerned about the kill shot to the chrony.

    Can't get comfortable with a good sight picture

    Re: Can't get comfortable with a good sight picture I'm another that dislikes wide round combs as I certainly tend to roll my head over. I try to hang my cheek bone on the comb for a consistent stockweld. Heck you can take a ream of paper and some rubber bands to do some try fitting. Grab...

    .260 Rem case forming?

    Re: .260 Rem case forming? I did. Now if I can find my notes. I'm thinking 17 thousands which is in the ridculous range. OK, consulted my notes which as usual aren't as complete as I'd like. They were at 17 thousandths at high spots sized, unreamed or turned. I didn't write down the 4th...

    .260 Rem case forming?

    Re: .260 Rem case forming? I normally use .260 rem brass for simplicity but I did run an experiment with .308 Lapua brass. I ran the .308 Lapua through my 7mm-08 Redding FL sizer with the expander ball removed with Imperial wax for lube. Then I sized with my .260 FL bushing die. Trimmed...

    Fieldcraft Kiss item you made

    Re: Kiss item you made Not my original but I went out and bought one and used it. Needed to push my front sight on my swiss K31 rifle. Front sight would not budge with a drift and hammer. Went to the bearing shop downtown and purchased a 1 1/4" locking shaft collar. Removed the allen...

    Rifle Scopes Getting pissed... 2nd Zeiss Conquest prob.

    Re: Getting pissed... 2nd Zeiss Conquest prob. I have one on my deer rifle. I also got the special rapid Z bullet drop reticle and plotted my load to it and rubber banded my data to my stock for the field. Toward the end of the day I can't see the cross reticles to use them on an overcast...

    help me out, case stuck in die!

    Re: help me out, case stuck in die! Sometimes tossing it in the freezer for a couple hours works too. Since I purchased a stuck case removal kit I never had another stuck case! It's kind of like insurance I guess, mine is in it's unopened original package in the drawer. Hope it stays that way!

    Ballistic Loophole Clearance

    Re: Ballistic Loophole Clearance I was wonering if I had deja vu all over again. As a LEO and former 0331. I don't need it for my work and have just a touch of curiosity but not enough to pry into things that are wanted to kept closer to the vest. I can respect that. In my bookshelf I...

    Nosler 50 Gr load for .223

    Re: Nosler 50 Gr load for .223 My load for that bullet was 27.5 grains of BLC2 in a Win case with a CCI 400 primer. Wednesday I shot 4 rounds in 3/8" and the 5th about a 1/4" out. This was in a plastic stocked ADL at 200 yards in a 8mph switch wind. I was shocked it shot that well. yeah I...

    Sinclair case holder wobble

    Re: Sinclair case holder wobble Try chucking the holder in a jawed chuck drill. If it still wobbles then it's the holder. Otherwise it's the looseness of the slip in holder on the electric screwdriver. MY Black and Decker is a loose wobbly POS for turning. Unfortunately that's why I...

    Weird reloading issue

    Re: Weird reloading issue +1 First thing I thought when I read 3 o'clock; right hand bolt rifle with button ejector and snap over extractor. If you had a left action then it'd be at 9 o'clock. If you had an FN or Win with claw extractor and fixed ejector then you would get next to no marks...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Mornarch x or Zeiss Conquest??

    Re: Nikon Mornarch x or Zeiss Conquest?? I picked up a zeiss conquest with the drop compensating reticle for my custom .260 deer rifle. Great theory but in practice it's too busy to use at the magic few minutes before sunset. Those hashmarks fade right out. I'd get a more standard...

    Sierra screw up?

    Re: Sierra screw up? Great bullets........in the right rifle. I'd bring them back for exchange. Even though they're an odd ball caliber they're great bullets. I wouldn't pay what they're asking for a my Finn Mosin or my Enfield but I'm sure they'd shoot.
