    .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 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...

    Problems with Redding Competition Seater

    I just got a brand new Redding Competition seating die for .308 from Sinclair this week. For the last few nights I've been trying to get it set up to be zeroed at 2.350" (to ogive) and I still can't get it. I'm using 175 SMK's so I thought this would be pretty easy. I followed the included...

    Anyone familiar with Front Sight Nevada?

    Basically, I have the opportunity to purchase one of their "Diamond" memberships through another "Diamond" member for $125. Has anyone else done the same thing I'm thinking of doing and was it all that it seems to be? I wouldn't consider myself a novice shooter so I'm more interested in the...

    How important is brass length for accuracy?

    I just got finished prepping some twice fired .308 brass and after trimming and chamfering and deburring I measured my cases from the base to the end of the neck and they varied from 2.008" to 2.012". I use a Redding 2400 case trimming lathe and I set it up with a case that was 2.009" in length...

    RE-15 or IMR-4064?

    Hi guys, just a couple quick questions. I'm switching from 168gn SMK's in my SPS Tactical to 175 SMK's. I've always used IMR-4064 on my 168's, but when the big powder/primer shortage was going on I couldn't get ahold of any so I bought two pounds of RE-15 when I came across it because I knew it...

    Reloading process for an AR?

    Hi, I'm looking for information on what is needed to reload for an AR15? I've found a lot of stuff on reloading the .223/5.56 but nothing definitive on the AR. I've got a bushmaster with 16" barrel, 1/9" twist. I'm also looking for reliable loads that are safe for the gun for shooting coyotes...

    Advanced Marksmanship Prone shooting on cement

    Hi, I want to know if anyone thinks shooting bipoded off of cement has any effect as opposed to shooting bipoded in the dirt. I know that if you rest your forearm on a hard surface you should use a soft material between your stock and the hard surface. SO, does that mean you should use a soft...
