    Robert Gradous .260 Remington beginning load development

    I have decided to use the OCW method. Wanted to get a sanity check before I went to the range. Steps 1-3 (select bullet, powder, and find max load data) The max load for the Berger 140 VLD hunting using H4831SC is 45.5 grains per the Hodgden manual. Step 4 sighters Sighter 1 = 7% less max load...

    Thanks, I figured I would try the H4831 since I had it on the shelf.

    Robert Gradous .260 Remington beginning load development

    Thread moved from general reloading section: I recently took delivery of a .260 Remington made by Robert Gradous. It was a joyous day. 24" Rock, 8.5-1, #5 contour, Surgeon Action. This is my second Gradous rifle, the first was a .308 that spoiled me as it was happy shooting 168FGMM - one hole...

    Robert Gradous .260 Remington beginning load development

    It took me 8 months to get all the parts together. The Rock barrels took the longest. All together it was about 18 months from start to finish. Be patient, it's worth the wait.

    Robert Gradous .260 Remington beginning load development

    I realize now that I should have posted this in the Reloading Depot section. Is there any way to move it?

    30 rd mags for M1 carbine

    OK, don't laugh. I was digging deep in the back of my safe and pulled out my old M1 carbine from my teenage years. Thought I might want to stock up on hi-cap mags for everything I have in inventory. A little research led me to R-Guns. They have them in stock for $12 each. Although min shipping...

    Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock!

    Re: Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock! That's amazing. The lady I spoke with at SG said they had 400 sets of 6-mag packs in stock at 12noon today. Maybe she was mistaken.....

    Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock!

    Re: Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock! Sportsman's Guide update: I called and increased my order from 4 to 8 6-packs of 20 rd mags. They told me that they have 400+ units of 6-packs in stock. I would prefer PMAG 30's but these are a nice insurance policy...

    Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock!

    Re: Thermold 20 round mags with couplers in stock! Many thanks for the link. I just bought 4 6-packs and they are still in stock. If you are not a member consider paying 29.99. If you buy 4 or more 6 packs, the math works out. non member price: 29.99 x 4 = 119.96 ground shipping free new...

    I have my stripped lower - now what?

    Re: I have my stripped lower - now what? I already have the mags covered. Was able to find 12 PMAGS for $15.99 a piece about 2 weeks ago. I called the next day trying to add to my order and they were sold out.

    I have my stripped lower - now what?

    OK, I will confess I bought in to the fear mongering and grabbed a stripped lower - assuming that lowers may be banned for new purchases going forward. What little experience I have is with bolt rifles - not black rifles. Am I safe now that I have my stripped lower? Can I just build at a...

    can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

    Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me. GunBroker: Be prepared to pay $475-$550 for a brand name lower. I have seen some "second tier" lowers go for around $300 over the last 36 hours. All this could change with the next news story.

    Shooting on a budget

    Re: Shooting on a budget OK, this option may not sit well with some but I'll go ahead and throw it out there. How about a Remington 700 SPS tactical .308. Bud's Gun shop has them in stock for $594. This was my first long range rifle. Some people might say I got lucky, but mine shot gold...
