    Lee auto disk

    Does anyone use the Lee auto disk to load pistol rounds? I haven’t loaded for pistol before but was thinking of starting for a .45 I just bought. I have the auto disk setup minus the die needed and was thinking of using it.

    6mm Ar question

    Before I spend hours going down the rabbit hole I figured I’d just ask. Will any of the 6mm offerings in an ar15 platform allow me to push a 95VLD to 2900 out of an 18” barrel? I’m looking for a lighter hunting setup to use when I don’t want to lug my 15lb 6.5 out.

    Fieldcraft 10-meter radio questions

    Several years ago I bought a General Lee radio to run in a semi. I never messed with anything other than “E” band channel 19. It messed up and I no longer drive so I stuck it in the basement. I got it out and sent it to the shop to be fixed the other day and have been looking into the other...

    Next step

    Looking at this 5 shot group it sticks out that there are 2 different groups. 3 and 2. What would you do to try and tighten them up. This was shot at 290yds and it is a .6 but I can’t help but think that it could become a .4

    Geoballistics

    I can’t get the button for the shot bearing to work. It always stays on 0. Location and shot angle both work fine, is there a setting that needs turned on or does it have to have a weather flow connected. I would assume it would use the phones compass but maybe it won’t. iPhone.

    Reloading company?

    I have seen several companies that offer hand loaded ammo to your specs but I haven’t found any that will reload your brass. Is it due to liability or cost vs time?

    Powder throw loading

    I was curious if anyone was using a powder drop/throw to dump charges. I’ve been playing with it in my 223 and it has been surprisingly consistent using varget. Couldn’t seem to get it very consistent with H4350. This is a lee perfect powder measure. What have you found to work. I would like to...

    Couple questions

    Question 1. What would you say was the 1 thing you have done in the reloading room that gave you the most improvement. Question 2.Where do you reach the point of diminishing returns? Weight sorting brass/bullets etc. i know it truly depends on the use. Obviously F class shooters are going...

    Square to target

    How much could a target be angled to the side before it would affect group size. I’m thinking if the target is angled 10-20 degrees to the side and then measured without accounting for it then your groups would open your groups up.

    6.5cm 130vs140

    Do you prefer the 130’s or the 140’s and why? Is the +-100fps enough of a difference to give the edge to the 130’s? Been playing with different loads and bullets but I’m fixing to get some Berger’s for my Comp load and have been arguing with myself as to which one would be best.

    Vibe tumbler media options

    Can stainless pins be ran in a vibrating tumbler? My corn cob media is about shot and I’m having to soak the brass in isso? Case cleaner for about 5 minutes to get them clean. If the stainless pins aren’t an option what’s the next best thing?

    Anyone have both a 5 & 10 round AICS pmag? Magpul told me that the 5rounder had a follower that helped with a nose dive on 6.5CM. I was wondering if the follower would fit the 10 rounder.
