    Anyone play with this new Lyman priming system?

    I bought the Accu-Prime Manual Bench Priming Tool. I have only used it to prime 100 5.56 cases. It works well, and better than my Frankfort Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer that kept on jamming and cost twice as much. It's not as fast of course, but I'm a high drag, low speed kind of guy...

    Best Sub $750 optic for target and varmint - 2025

    That's because "glass" is the most overrated item in the optics spectrum when it comes to rifle scopes. Your scopes mission is not to read news papers at 500 + yds. It's to put rounds on targets. In most cases if you can see your target thru the scope glass, you can hit it, as long as your...

    Looking for Badger Ordnance rail 306-06 and 34mm medium rings… please!!!

    Maybe here: BO 306-06 Not finding any of the medium rings in steel about. Unless you have a compelling operational need for steel rings and bases, BO 306-06A (for 20 MOA alloy base) and 306-63 Alloy 34mm Medium rings are readily available, and are plenty strong and 50% lighter. What caliber...

    Low Recoil AR Load

    If your worried about temp stability think: H322, Benchmark, and Varget. Recoil is moderate with even heavy 5.56 loads. 24.5 grains of Benchmark and a good 52-55 grain bullet ( like Hornady's 53gr BTHP Match w/ Cannelure) is an outstanding and accurate combo. They are not much more than the...

    Vietnam War….April 30 , 1975 ….its a wrap !

    I was there. In 1970-71 as a QM3 my ship was conducting Operation Market-Time patrols as a member of USCG Squadron 3, aboard the USCGC Morgenthau (WHEC-722), which oddly enough was then sold in May 2017 to Vietnam.

    Apparent over pressure from mild load

    ADI powder equivalent's are only accurate to within 5% (or 2.5 grains in your case) Powder equivalents This chart shows ADI 2217 as being slower than H-1000 Relative Burn Rates In other works there is no clear answer as to whether ADI -2217 is exactly the same as H-1000.

    Of all the parameters that must be met when reloading, what do you think is most important?

    Things I think about before starting a load: And yes they are all important. Correct powder & charge weights, loaded from below and worked up. Correct Primer for the case & task. Correct Bullet for the application & ranges that I have in mind. For example: Target bullets for targets and hunting...

    Rifle actions round vs flat bottom

    For those reading at home: Sayre’s Law dictates that: “In any dispute, the intensity of the feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake.”

    Rifle actions round vs flat bottom

    I prefer round bottomed women, over flat bottomed. Anything else regarding bottom contours, as in one is better than the other, is irrelevant. :sneaky:
