    Range Report LoadBase 3 and Verizon HTC Trophy smartphone

    Re: LoadBase 3 and Verizon HTC Trophy smartphone I actually did e-mail them twice. I'm surprised I didn't get an answer back. I use Verizon for my mobile. There's not a lot of phones which use their OS. Would be really cool if they also wrote an interface for the Droid OS. I also asked...

    I'm wondering if the LoadBase 3 software will run on the HTC Trophy Verizon phone. The OS is Windows 7 Phone. Thanks -

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Dan - I use the same draining basket as you showed in your photo. I just spread the arms across my sink from front to back and it is very functional. William

    Shoulder Set-back surprising results

    Re: Shoulder Set-back surprising results Just came back from the range. Today groups ran the same with shoulder set back .01 as received or with my FL resizing and set back to .002-.003. I really can't explain why the groups had opened up before but right now all is fine. I used both today...

    Trimming Brass .308

    I know there's been some recent threads on .308 trimming but my question is a bit different and would appreciate some suggestions on what <span style="font-weight: bold">you</span> would do. After fireforming I trimmed all my brass to 2.005. After the second firing and doing a full length...

    Shoulder Set-back surprising results

    Re: Shoulder Set-back surprising results Good question. I didn't have my chronograph with me but I suspect velocity is different otherwise it should group the same with everything else constant.

    Shoulder Set-back surprising results

    I normally fireform my brass before working up a load. However I purchased quite a bit of once fired 7.62 LC brass from Scharch. Really beautiful brass fully resized, cleaned and trimmed. With so much brass I thought I would work up a load which I did while fireforming it. In my REPR is shoots...

    First ladder test

    Re: First ladder test Isn't it a bit to early to detrmine the optimal load. If you have a node at #s 4,5, & 6 wouldn't you then load 5 rounds of each to see how each grouped. If they individually grouped the same you would then pick the one with the highest velocity. If they did not all...

    A Giraud setup question

    Re: A Giraud setup question I just received the Giraud about a week ago. I have used Hornady locking rings on both .308 and .223 case holders. With a witness mark it's very easy to change between case holders quickly.

    sizeing die question

    Re: sizeing die question Here's what I do. I use a Redding FL die. I adjust it so that when I fully move the reloading press arm in resizing the die it just "cams" over. The the bottom of the reloading die actually presses slightly against the shell holder. Once it cams it puts the shell...

    Do You Set The Soulder Back on a Semi

    Re: Do You Set The Soulder Back on a Semi John L I agree with your advice. I will set the shoulder back about .002 to .003.. I have looked at my reloading notes and I set the shoulder back on my AR15s / .223s .003. No reason not to do it on the 7.62x51.

    Do You Set The Soulder Back on a Semi

    I just started loading for a LWRC REPR 7.62x51. Fired formed case shoulders measure 1.6380" using a stoney point headspace gauge. Fully resized cases measure 1.6280". That's a difference of .0100". If this was a bolt gun I would set the shoulder back about .003" and continue to try to develop...

    media for tumbling

    Re: media for tumbling I also saw a post where someone used a clothes dryer with a rack which was meant for sweaters or sneakers. Since my dryer had a similar rack I purchased a cutlery insert for a drawer (rectangular basket) and then put my brass in that which I placed on top of the the...
