    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    I got pressure signs really fast with CFE223 in .308 with Sierra 175TMK Work that stuff up carefully.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Looking for pressure/velocity on a 20 Practical 24" AR. 40 gr Berger, H335, Norma USA Brass, CCI BR. Berger manual stops at 24.1gr, Sierra 39gr goes way higher. Started at 23.2 going to 25gr in .2 increments. 5 each. 25gr got me 3630fps with no pressure signs. Looks like I can go higher...

    Wilson Arbor Press w/ Force Measurement

    A tip I got from another member is to dump about half the ceramic balls out. This keeps them from spilling out when inserting cases and gets better distribution when shaking. A dab of graphite goes a long way.

    Wilson Arbor Press w/ Force Measurement

    Try the Redding Graphite. https://redding-reloading.com/online-catalog/162-imperial-dry-neck-lube-convenience-pak I use the same press set up as you. I see about 30-35lbs max iirc. I anneal eveytime. I also use a mandrel instead of relying on a bushing. Calipers aren't a great tool for...

    Trijicon RMR or Crimson Trace laserguard

    RMR. Shoot both eyes open. Focus on the target and bring the dot to bear. Practice, there is a little learning curve. Not a laser fan. RMR should be less than $650.

    Dang it! I think I finally solved the puzzle.

    Gas operated?🤔 Passed over the 340PD for the 329. The wood grips while pleasing to the eye, as many have said, should be a criminal offense to ship on the gun without a disclaimer. Double check function with factory and hand loads. An insufficient crimp turns ot into a kenetic bullet puller...

    Small Powder Charge Dangerous?

    Most prevelant with slow(er) burning powders and low percentage case fill. Powder ignition is inconsistent. 2 rough schools of thought, one the powder is laying horizontal and the longer area is ignited versus the base of the column. Or possibly the charge ignites and pushes some of the powder...

    Sound moderating shed: Noise abatement

    These pics are from a range in Monterrey MX. That is pretty much in the middle of town. Rifle went to 600 or 800 if I recall. Bigger scale then most need.

    Different stock options for Savage 112BVSS .223, short action, blind internal mag?

    Why the hate? What are you looking for in options? I went from the original to an old Choate, to the fiberglass (Prariedog tactical), to an XLR. Wanting a removable mag was my driver.

    Handloading log app reccomendation.

    Does any one use an app as a log book for handloading that they would recommend? Not interested in a laptop. I don't want to deal with excel. Would like to be able to do a back up or to transfer data to another device. I've found a couple in play store. Curious what others like or use.
