    SW Ammo in 260???

    Re: SW Ammo in 260??? Haven't tried the 142s but the 139s shot well enough in my Spartan that I used them for a match while I worked up my own ladders. Order waaaay before you need the ammo though - my orders have been 1+ weeks late shipping in spite of being "in stock" when I called.

    Rifle Scopes We no longer sell Premier Heritage riflescopes

    Re: We no longer sell Premier Heritage riflescopes That's deeply unfortunate. Any suggestions for a comparable reticle to the gen II xr from other manufacturers? I'm not sold on Horus, and would like something finer than the MLR, with a mil Christmas tree if possible.

    Dillon 550

    Re: Dillon 550 Does reaming the powder funnel help at all? ie., is this an artifact of powder bridging? If an alignment issue, make sure to blow out any grains under the edge of the shellplate, and see if it helps. Good luck!
