    .223 AR-15 reloading dies and process

    Re: .223 AR-15 reloading dies and process Thanks again guys for all the information. I think I'll give the pacesetter dies a shot. I'm kind of curious about Lee's claims that the factory crimp die can produce results similar to seating right off the lands. I know when I started doing that...

    .223 AR-15 reloading dies and process

    Re: .223 AR-15 reloading dies and process Thanks guys for all the good info. Would a primer pocket uniformer be an effective way to remove the crimps?

    .223 AR-15 reloading dies and process

    First off, sorry if this subject has been tackled before, I tried searching for it and couldn't really find anything. I'm looking at dies to reload for my AR. It has a .223 Wylde chamber if that makes any difference. I've reloaded for my .308 for quite awhile now and if money wasn't an issue I'd...

    Hunting & Fishing Need GPS Recommendation

    Re: Need GPS Recommendation I just got a Garmin Legend HCX at Cabelas for black Friday. I found free maps at http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ and got a map that shows land ownership and another topo map that shows public lands. Once you figure out how to transfer the data back and forth between...

    Re: camo gun wrap If your not worried about a specific pattern you can use vet wrap or self sticking first aid bandages. I like the white for in winter and I use the tan out here in the prairie.

    Hunting & Fishing 175 SMK -VS- Coyote

    I just thought some of you might find this as interesting as I did. I recently shot a coyote at ~425yds with my .308. I actually shot it twice, first shot hit the shoulder and then after it quit jumping around I made a better shot into the vitals to drop it for good. This picture shows the...

    Using Shooter App to build a DA Dope Chart

    I am in the middle of rebuilding my data book and I want to switch over to using DA. I was going to use JBM as highlighted here http://www.arcanamavens.com/LBSFiles/Shooting/Downloads/DA/ but I see it doesn't compensate for your change in velocity because of a change in temp. Since in Montana we...

    Harris adapter necessary for medalist a2?

    Re: Harris adapter necessary for medalist a2? I've never needed one on mine, but I would recommend a think piece of foam cut out and placed between the bipod and the stock because the bipod will rub a little.

    Sray Lube Question

    Re: Sray Lube Question I thought the purpose of the spray lubes was to lay down a coat of it on the pads, and then roll the brass across so you don't get any on the neck, therefore avoiding oil dents. I also spray a plastic bore brush with it and run that in and out of the neck a couple times...

    Problems with Redding Competition Seater

    Re: Problems with Redding Competition Seater My load isn't compressed any. I'm only running 43gns IMR4064 and trying to seat to 2.350". I do believe majority of my problem was with my seating technique. I never realized the ram would flex if I put any pressure on it. After I quit doing that...

    Problems with Redding Competition Seater

    Re: Problems with Redding Competition Seater Nessal, Thanks for the advice on this. It's not that I rammed the handle down, but when I do get to the bottom I usually just press on it slightly to make sure it is bottomed out. I didn't realize the ram would flex. I'll go seat a few and see how...
