    Do I have to quit reloading for the same reason I started?

    And if you want an ultimately accurate scale, you have a small window of opportunity. Sartorius GD503-NTEP Class II legal for trade Carat Scale Satorius stopped making these in May of this year. This place apparently still has some (as of a minute ago) but they must be getting low as they...

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    I think it goes with the sport. I bought a t-shirt today that says, " I have CDO, it's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order, as they're supposed to be."

    Well, hello Ernie. I received your email with Joypod info and replied with my request to be placed on the waiting list. Thanks, Ron :^)

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    I'm having a tough time tracking this down. It is not on the website I finally found ::: SEB ( Coaxial Front ) REST ::: so I emailed them and Seb emailed me back and said he had forwarded my email to his US distributer, someone named Ernie Bishop. That wouldn't by any chance be you xphunter...

    %%Uhut-Oh, Did I ruin this brass?%%

    Wondering about the safety of using this brass. Not THAT big of a deal, it's 13% of a batch of 3000 range brass I bought to load plinkers with. It was in REALLY bad shape when I got it. I experimented with different ways to clean it up. I vibrated some in walnut shells, some I tumbled in...

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    Thanks, but that was only at 200yd, and I am already learning at 300yd that it doesn't get any easier. Two weeks til my first experience at 600yd.

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    I am serious about F-TR (not to be confused with good at it.) OK, I get it, I need to go big. That means more equipment (not a problem, grin, I'm a hardcore tool junkie. e.g. Sartorius GD503) Thanks to all for the advice. Denys, see you at Juliff Range on Sept 15 for the 600yd prone.

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    I just received my membership card. Also, I shot in the last 300yd F-TR and am planning on shooting the 600yd F-TR this month. Last month, from what I remember, most of the F class was Open. I saw one guy with a Sinclair type bipod and didn't really notice the rest.

    Beam vs. Digital scales

    +1 on the final verification. I had a near KABOOM and I always verify the final weight of each round now. I apparently had a light/no load which propelled the pill a short distance down the barrel. On the next round, click. I disassembled the upper receiver from the lower, saw nothing...

    Beam vs. Digital scales

    I read about the same McDonald's straw trick with the RCBS Chargemaster also. There's one in mine.

    Beam vs. Digital scales

    Takes me about 1.5-2 hours, but I am using two digital scales. First I allow my RCBS Chargemaster to "throw" an approximate load, then I move it to my Sartorius GD-503 Magnetic Force Restoration scale where I trickle Varget with an Omega powder trickler...

    MK262 clone 77Grain 5.56 load problems / updated OCW tests

    Yeah, I consider it, but it's not a factor for me. Since I am shooting F-TR and must shoot single shot for which I use a Bob Sled http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1354, I don't drop the BCG until I am ready to fire. I use a bolt release that allows me to use my trigger finger...

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    That's what this guy was saying. Since you went to the top competitions, were these people using a traditional bipod (Harris or Atlas, or such) with sled feet, or were they using a Sinclair type bipod? If so, I have a decision to make. I was hoping to keep it somewhat practical, and the...

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    No, he wasn't using a bipod. He was using a SEB with the joystick and all. Speaking of which, he thought he saw a Sinclair type bipod with a joystick. I have not been able to locate such a beast on the web. As for his advice, it was similar to what I am hearing here. He said he has not...

    Dillon Square Deal or 550B

    I posted about the light, and Actually, it's just OK. Main problem is that if you forget to turn it off, it is afterall just battery powered, and not standard batteries at that. Go somewhere like ebay and several people are selling LED lights. They come in a strip about 3" by .5" by about .3"...

    MK262 clone 77Grain 5.56 load problems / updated OCW tests

    I keep fooling with seating depth, but someone on this site pointed out that an AR is the worlds most expensive bullet puller. Guess that's one reason mil-spec is crimped, as I tested a few rounds and found that they do move out a few thou due to the BCG slamming home.

    MK262 clone 77Grain 5.56 load problems / updated OCW tests

    Yeah, the CCI #41 are mil-spec. I've been using Fed 205M because I haven't had any slam fire problems; however, when I finish up this batch of 5000, I have 5000 of 205MAR (I think that's the designation) that are made specifically for AR's to prevent slam fires (they have a thicker cup.)

    +1 to the Varget. Plus, it is supposed to be very temperature insensitive. I wouldn't know though, it's ALWAYS hot in Houston. lol

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    I thought I knew how to use a bipod. I have been shooting F-TR for close to 2 years and have a 600-42X behind me at 200yd with a 5.56 black rifle. Then I heard or read someone saying something about if a person knew the right way to use a bipod. I didn't get to ask them to elaborate, but I...

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F/TR, gear other than the rifle

    +1 That's a good idea. I have never brought mine to the range, but I should. Here in Houston it gets very hot and humid in the summer. I have gotten up off of my mat and found puddles of standing water from sweating. And they work great. I am a volunteer fireman, and while they have not...
