    recomendations for heavy 5.56 loads

    I just got a new barrel for my LMT 18" 1-7" Id like to run 90 SMKs if I can. This is strickly for long range work target work. 600-1k yrds. I am OK with it being limited to one shot at a time. I have heard issues with the throat not being deep enought to take the longer pills. Has...

    Varget powder for 6mm Creedmor loads in GAP-10

    I just got my GAP-10 in last week and broke in the barrel. Beyond that, I haven't had a chance to work anything up. I have 6 lbs of the Hodgton's Varget and it served me VERY well in my bolt gun. I was wondering if anyone had worked up any kind of load I could use as a starting point. It...

    Vapor Trail.. what am I missing

    I know that watching the vapor trail is very helpful in marksmanship. I shoot out to 1k successfully, however I know that viewing the vapor trail would be more helpful. I have only observed it 1 time. When spotting, i am directly behind the shooter. My spotting scope isn't great, but its OK...

    question about 6mm CM max effective distance

    I have a question for the folks that have shot 6mm Creedmoor. I hope this is the correct forum section. What is the effective range of this round? I'm only a paper puncher, so ability to take down a target isn't an issue. Hitting that target is. I assume it will go to 1200m .. will it go...

    question/concern about 1-9 AR barrel

    I have a question about shooting heavier bullets in a 1-9 barrel. My main bullet is 69gr, which is great until the wind picks up. I had a few 75gr bullets and tried those on a windy day (8MPH avg. 13MPH gusts). Shooting at 500 yrds. My 69s just couldn't buck the wind. I've worked up a load...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns suggestions for 9mm supressed pistol

    I am looking at possibly getting a new pistol (HK Sig?) or just getting a threaded barrel for my Beretta. Does anyone have any suggestions? If a new pistol, why over the Beretta? (note, I'm a civilian and don't have a need for a 5k per month pistol) Thanks for any suggestions.

    Ultrasonic brass cleaning

    I have been thinking about getting an ultrasonic for a while. I purchased this at a buddy's recommendation: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018IIPFK/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 I have tried using dish soap/tap water and now simple green/tap water. I have run it for (5) 8 min cycles...

    neck down 308 brass to 260 ?

    Is this possible for the average joe? Is it practical? Is it a piece of cake with good dies and liberal amounts of case lube? Or am I going to spend copious amounts of time and energy? Would I have just been better of sucking it up and buying 260 brass? Thanks for the input.

    Suggestions on higher-end AR-10 platforms

    Im looking at 3 rifles: Larue OBR 20" POF 308 20" GAP-10 20-22" + Noveske switchblock upgrade. I intend to shoot these at 800-1000 yrds. I will tune and hand-load for these rifles. I will be running them supressed most of the time, as such adjustable gas block is key. Weight isn't an...

    Kestrel 3500 vs. Kestrel 4000

    I searched and couldn't find anything specific for the 2. So here goes. I like shooting out to some distance 800-1000 yards. And as my skills increase I'd like to push the rounds I have to their limits. Currently, environmental elements are kicking my butt. As I'm learning more and...

    Why are 168's no good past 500-600 yards?

    Hello all, Not knowing better in my 1st run of load development I chose 168's over 175's due to them grouping better in my rifle. I'm not super precise with reloading, (read neck turning, annealing, etc) but I do shoot for consistency .. to a point. I do realize I have to accept a trade off...
