    Lyman M die on 650

    I was loading 308win today. Cases are Lapua on their third loading. FL sized, and trimmed with the Dillon rt1500. I put a Lyman M die in station 1 of the loading toolhead, because everything I read said that I would not need to chamfer. Somewhere I went wrong. I was seeing copper shavings after...

    Scale drift issues

    I have an old Lyman 500 and a rcbs digital scale. I was loading some 308 yesterday, and the rcbs was being a pain in the ass. So I checked it against the Lyman, and it was consistently 0.2 high. It would read 44.9 when the Lyman beam would read 44.7. Unfortunately the check weights that came...

    308win trim length question

    I trimmed a bunch of lapua 308win once fired brass. And going through case gauging and measuring case lengths. I am throwing everything that’s 2.007-.008 into the use bin, stuff linger in one shorter in another. My question is, how much of a difference does .001-.002 in length make on 308...

    Lpvo setup/sig tango mer

    I have a pst2 1-6 on a 14.5 carbine right now, but am curious how people like the mer by sig, the 1-10? I want to keep it under $1000 when I go to buy a new one. Or are their any other good options out there that will work. I have a 2-10, and thought of just putting a micro offset on it. But the...

    Good electronic dispenser under $400?

    For years I had been using a manual powder dispenser and beam scale. But I am over it and want something electronic, but I am not willing to spend the money of the v4 at. I don't shoot enough pr to justify that expense. I usually just shoot for fun out to 750yds or so, a few times a year. Most...

    Case separated 556

    This happened several months ago while shooting a prairie dog. It is cfe223 24.1grs cci41 and 77gr smk. Bullet exited, I didn’t feel anything wrong with the shot. Bolt wouldn’t go into battery and was a little tough to get open. The shoulder part was stuck in the chamber, it ejected the body...

    Fixed Rear sight suggestion

    Other than the lmt l8a rear, is there another fixed rear sight, not a carry handle, that has windage and elevation adjustments? It is going on a 6920 that does not get used much, but want to be able to adjust for windage and have dual apertures. Thanks

    Rt1500 on a xl650

    So, I want to get a rt1500 and use it on one of my 650s to trim 556 and 308win brass. Was thinking universal decap station 1, s2 re size, s3 or 4 trim. How hard and much work is it going to be to change calibers on the trimmer? I can get two tool heads, set the decap and resize and just move the...

    VV N150 175gr smk 308win load?

    I am about out of Varget. Found 4lbs of n150 and am looking to see what people are getting speed wise and what luck they are having with it. I used n530 in a 300wsm with awesome results, and use n350 in pistols with good results, hopefully the n150 will prove to follow the same path. According...

    First time out with the magnetospeed

    Wife got me a v3 magnetospeed for my birthday while back. Finally got it out to the range today with the 308win. This is 5 shots but was amazed at the low sd on it. Tried it on the ar and it was all over the place. Finally was getting code 4 readings that it couldn’t read the bullet. Is that...

    Range Report 77smk as sd round

    I have a really good load worked up for one of my ars, with 77gr smk. I got a new ar pistol with 11.5” barrel yesterday and went to zero it today. That being said I used the loads I had already. The 77s were averaging 2280fps. Is that going to be fast enough to fragment as keep them loaded as a...

    Anyone use this 75gr hpbt?

    Found some 75gr hpbt from Evergladesammo. Ordered 1000 of them, price was right. Was wondering if anyone here has experience with these? I’m shooting a sionics upper on a colt lower. 16” barrel, mid length gas. I’m not expecting .2moa at 1000yds. Just hoping they’ll be 1.5 moa at 500. If not...
