    Precision Rifle Gear Is the Garmin Xero still the Whiz Bang Chrono to get? Is there a new(er) model coming this year?

    Used the Garmin for the 4th or 5th time yesterday. Graduated from a prochrony to a magneto speed to the Garmin. Got asked if it was worth it. Hands down, and absolutely was worth it. Never missed a shot, No errors. No BS set up. Compact. Still on the first charge. Areas for notes and...

    65gr ARX 9mm

    Anyone loaded any 65gr ARX for 9mm. Tried 4.8gr Tite Group in once fired Blazer brass and Ginex SPP at 1.150 coal with no joy for use in a G19 (1447 fps) and a G19MOS with factory threaded barrel and an RMR (1495fps). Stovepipe and FTF galore at that charge weight. Going to 5.0 grains next...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Stopped by the local indoor range and bought 30lbs of once fired brass for $25. Sorted through the sifter trays Dillon sells. 3/4 coffee can of .45. A handful of .40s and 7.62x39, a few odd balls and a shit ton of much needed 9mm. Hardly any rimfire included; pleased with the ratios. Waiting on...

    Ammo purchase

    Belom for sure has crimped and sealed primers they will lock up my APP. I'm on my 2nd case of 124gr CCI Blazer Brass without issue.

    Ammo purchase

    Do you reload? Check if the S&B has crimped and sealed primers. They are a bear to remove. I'd shoot either if the price is the same assuming brass cased and un crimped/un sealed primers.

    There is an unused prison in north west Illinois. Built and never utilized supposedly due to union pressure. The Feds bought it for $165M. Obama wanted to use it after closing Gauntanimo but that fell through as well. We ought to start utilizing it for illeagals. Deport the unworthy and the...

    Somewhere I read Somewhere I read that was the plan, but the op.was compromised, so they detonated them early. Who knows. Still a pretty effective outcome.

    @918v, I know I've gotten some solid advice from you, but RE26 in 308 isn't one I'd consider.

    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    Your rifle/components/seating depth/neck tension/etc. may not reach 2625 with the same load as published Check some other manuals for powder weights. You will see there can be a pretty large difference from each. What is Bergers max charge weight? Are you close to it? With a 168 I think you...
