    Range Report First time to 1000

    Well, I finally gave it a try... Woke up this morning to a sunny day with calm winds, and enough previous dry days to allow the field to dry enough to ride the Polaris back and forth to the target..... Shooting a savage 10 fcp 308. 180gr smk's with 43.5gr varget and lake city brass... By the...

    New annealing tool/invention

    For some of you guys with a lathe, this is a neat little gadget I made last night.... They are heat sinks to help keep the case heads cool during annealing... They work better than expected... I actually had to shorten them a bit because it was taking forever for the cases (especially the 308)...

    Butler creek caps

    I have a vortex viper pst 6-24x50 and was looking for caps. I went to a site that had butler creek size chart but nothing really matched the size of the scope. The closest I can find is a #40 and a #14. Just curious what you folks are using.

    Rifle Scopes viper question

    Got a great deal on a 6-24x50 pst. This is my first vortex optic other than a strikefire red dot on my ar.... I have it mounted on a savage 10fcp in .308. After firing 5 or 6 shots, I have to readjust the side focus for a clear view. I also noticed that the numbers on the side focus are off on...

    shoulder bumping

    Where do you guys measure the shoulder bump when resizing? Is it measured where the body meets the shoulder, neck meets the shoulder, the datum, or any of the above? I made a gauge comparator gauge to help measure the shoulder bump, and made the measurement point on the datum (.40") on .308win...

    Gloves

    The weather is cold and I hate fingerless gloves... Anyone found a somewhat warm pair of gloves that still offer decent trigger feel? It seems that in most cases, warmth comes with bulk... Hoodlum

    Marpat camo attempt

    I am fond of the marpat woodland digital as far as looks go... I have been debating an attempt at matching as close as possible, and since it's icy/cold outside, I thought today was adequate for some indoor projects....Realizing I can't match the digital pattern without the use of a template, I...

    bullet runout

    Made myself a tool to check bullet runout last night... Some come out within .002" and some come out as much as .005". Saw a video where a guy drilled a hole in a piece of wood to straighten the bullet out.... My question is, do I need to move the bullet only, or does the neck need to be tweeked...

    case sorting question

    I am sorting some .308 lc brass by volume.... I am filling them with water with a touch of soap for surface tension... My question is, what tolerance do you use in the groups? I have, for the majority, 55.4-56.1 gr of water, but have a few in the upper 54's and a few in the upper 56's.... Should...

    How the heck do I make a load for this?

    I have reloaded .308 for several years for a Howa 1500 and a Savage 10.... With both rifles, I could watch the groups open and close with different powder charges, oal, etc... Well, last week I bought a Remington 700sps tactical with a 20" barrel... I loaded 5 168smk's over starting load of 43.5...

    LC brass sorting

    I spent the better part of 3 hrs tonight sorting out some LC brass I have resized in the past and had stored away... It ranges from LC74 to 69 to some 89's, and some with the nato cross on them.... Several have just a few of certain dates, and a few with the cross with the majority being 74... I...

    Fire formed cases

    I have been loading .223 and .308 for several years for hunting purposes, but within the last 6 months I have been leaning more towards longer range accuracy instead of 150yd kill shots.... I loaded some full sized lc cases with a load of 43gr rl15 behind a 168gr A-max which seems to be the load...

    Rifle Scopes Took a chance...

SightMark Rifle Scopes. and thought I would give it a shot....I mounted it on a Howa...

    Movie Theater Django Unchained

    Got a chance to watch this downloaded from I-Tunes.. Not just a huge fan of Jamie Foxx, but there were appearances from several well known actors, lots of action, and a decent story line.... Worth watching..... Hoodlum
