    Just a thought, might not get further...

    I was dry-fire practicing and thought (I am a bit new to this "thinking" stuff, I wear ACU's for a living), "Hey dood, try this without your left hand gripping the stock (I'm a left-handed firer); just press the trigger as you normally would with the rest of your fingers off of the rifle." I did...

    Cold (9*F) chamber and warm (60*F) ammo?

    Sunday I was shooting and had some flat primer issues. The load was .308 168 grain Berger Hunting VLD, 42 grains of Varget, once-fired FGMM brass trimmed at 2.005", CCI 200 primers. The rifle sat on the firing line for about an hour, while the ammo was in the truck. The first five shots had...

    Gunsmithing Remington firing pin issue (Pic update)...

    I hope you can assist me here... I have put 255 rounds through this Remington 700 SPS Tactical, when it was new, the firing pin was about 1/16" proud, now it is about 1/32" inside the shroud when cocked... Is there any need to worry? Cocked and on "Fire" Cocked and on "Safe" Fired Cocked...

    Deactivating Live Primers...

    I just got 500 <span style="font-weight: bold">free</span> once-fired Lake City '05 7.62 cases. The only problem is that they're <span style="font-weight: bold">all</span> primed. So now I have to go to the range and fire 500 live primers. If they don't chamber, then what do I do? I don't know...

    I need to vent! "Tactical" shopping... (Long)

    I went out to get some reloading stuff and saw a store that had "Tactical" in it's name, so I stopped by to see what kinda stuff they had in stock. There were some really cool military firearms on the walls that belonged to the owner's father. Garands, M14's, some Winchester 97 Trench Guns...

    Range Report Dual purpose ammo (Steel & Hunting)

    After working up .308 Winchester loads (for a 20" stock Remington SPS Tactical) using 168 grain Berger “hunting” bullets, I am planning to use the 185 grain version of the same bullet for the range as well as the field. What I plan to achieve is better exterior ballistics. When looking at...

    Might be a stoopid question. Military brass crimp

    After spending a LOT of time clearing crimps on Lake City brass, I was wondering... How in the good name of decency do they get the brass crimped AFTER seating a primer?

    Swage or uniform primer pocket?

    On my once-fired LC brass, I swaged 200 rounds (with the RCBS swager) before I got my primer pocket uniformer. When I inserted primers in the swaged brass, the primers seated very easily. When I uniformed the pocket alone (using an RCBS uniformer in the Case Prep Center), the crimp was gone, the...

    .308 168 Gr. Berger VLD load testing

    I loaded some Berger 168 grain "Hunting" VLD's with 36 to 44 grains of Varget to develop a good big game load for Alaska. The recommended minimum is 38, and the recommended maximum is 42, I am dyslexic (as well as impatient) and rushed my process. I got to the range today about 1100, it was 31...
