    Cleaning up an old powder measure adn other old equipment.

    I recently acquired some reloading gear including a Rock Chucker press and a Uniflow powder measure. Both are dirty but the measure more so. It has gunk on the cap and in the body. I can also see dust/cobwebs? in the lower chamber. I plan to take it apart and clean it. Is plain soapy water ok or...

    I got some free stuff and have some questions

    A coworker gave me basically a full reloading setup that was his grandfathers. He wanted to see it used, rather than sit in his garage. There were also some components. How long are primers good for? There are some unknown age CCI BR2 and Federal 210M in the lot. The packaging looks dated, but...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk4 6.5-20 TMR reticle calibration question

    At what magnification is the reticle accurate for ranging etc? Since it is a SFP scope, it should only be at one point correct? The reticle stays the same size no matter what magnification it is on.

    What bullet to try first? 155 SMK Palma or 178 AMAX?

    I have 100 SMK palmas and 200 178 AMAX. I'm debating which to try out first. The gun is a .308 Rem 700p LTR 20" 1/12. The only powder I have right now is IMR 4064 so I'm going to use that since its so hard to find anything right now. 155s will be fast and according to some buck the wind better...

    First range trip with the new rifle

    Rifle is a Remington 700p LTR .308 topped with a Leupold Mk4 6.5-20 TMR (and trying my homemade rear bags. two sock bags and a shoeshine kit bag, all with airsoft BBs). It was a nice morning with light wind from 6 o'clock. I was zeroing the scope at 100 yards and had 168grn PPU "match"...

    308 155 load, OCW range

    I am about to work up a load for my .308 LTR. I have IMR 4064 at my disposal and 155 grn SMK Palma bullets. What charges have people seen do well with this powder and a 155 grn bullet. Just trying to do my research and not have as wide of a window to go through. Thanks!

    Anyone heard of Magnetospeed LLC chronographs?

    Pretty cool looking concept. Uses magnets just under the barrel to clock speed. They are a local to me company and seem resonably priced if they work as advertised. Link and picture from their site below. No affiliation, just curious. MagnetoSpeed

    Range Report Shooter or Ballistic (non AE)?

    I'm new to the game and looking to learn and get a ballistic calculator app for my iPhone. I've searched as much as I can on here and have seen both sides. Considering I'll be getting the non AE (the $10) version of Ballistic or Shooter which is recommended, especially for a newer long ranger...

    FNG here from Central Texas

    Just a new guy checking in. I have been shooting for years but just recently got seriously interested in longer range stuff. I just got my first "precision" rig, a Remington 700P LTR. Just looking for glass to top it off. Looking forward to learning a lot from the experience here.
