I developed a load without a chrono - I just shot for accuracy and used the elevation measurements from the scope to determine velocity. Using that technique, I figured that my velocity was about 2725 fps. Last Sunday I was out with a buddy. He had a Garmin chronograph. I placed it next to...

I have 5,900 205M, lot number is 5BY262. These are in 6 each 1k bricks. Always kept cool, dry, and in the dark. I need 215M. I don't need one-for-one but I am not desperate. Trade only, I don't need the cash. Face to face - show me yours and I will show you mine :) I am in southwest...

300 PRC, inconsistent at 1k, been screwing with it for a few weeks. Yesterday, I noticed that the barrel was not quite tight - about 1/8-turn. Stripped it down to the receiver, pulled the trigger, inspected the bedding, cleaned all the screws, new loktite, and re-torqued everything. How...

Hi guys, 8 pounds of vintage H1000. Metal cap. Note the reddish "rust" around the cap. Good? Or, not good? Smells like acetone, does not smell sour.

Shooting last Sunday. Conditions: rain visible in scope - moderate rate; 49 F ; 68 % RH; 28.24 inHg absolute. Bullet: Hornady, .308 230 gr A-Tip, 2700 FPS, barrel 1:9, scope height 2 inches. The rain was not falling straight down, I needed about 0.4 right most of the time - range 0.2 to 0.8...

I have a rifle with a Rem 700 long action, 532 (magnum) bolt face, Badger bottom metal, and AI long-magnum magazine. It currently has a 300 Win Mag barrel on it. I have a Bartlein barrel blank that needs a chamber and brake. I'm buying a SAAMI reamer for 300 PRC. I like long heavy bullets...

I charge cases by throwing a charge of IMR 4064 then use an Omega to trickle to the right number on a Sartorius. I notice after about 50 cases that my vision is changing - eyes dry, lots of blinking, and hard to focus. Smokeless powder consists of various organic nitrates, some include...

I have a Bartlein barrel mounted on a Remington 700, about 26-inch, 1:9 twist. I shoot either 240 SMK or 230 Berger hybrids at around 2700 fps MV. I use 7828 because the gun likes it but based on some notes I recently saw here, I will probably try H1000 again. This weapon can shoot better...

What are your top 3 drills for your precision rifle? I would break them down by 100 or 200 yard range and 200 to 1k range. Same question for carbine only I would break them down to 25 to 100 yards and beyond 100 yards. I'm going for those things that you do almost every time. Where you...

I have some well used brass - 308 Lapua and Lake City LR and 300 Win Mag Navy WW and Lapua. I did not turn the necks. After many firings, the neck thickness is not consistent from the top to the bottom of the neck. When I seat, bullets start smoothly then I push past a "ring" where the neck...

I have 128 pieces of this brass. I just prepped and weighed it. The weight is very consistent -- about 90% is plus or minus 1 grain. Primer pockets are tight. It seems a little softer than LC LR. I was going to load it up and shoot it. Anyone know any history on it? Why was it made? Anything?
