    Annealing

    I have a question on over annealing. Why is the brass considered trash if it's over annealed to a dead soft condition in just the neck shoulder junction? I'm aware that some of the alloys are burned off when the necks are over annealed. But don't know why that would make them unsuitable to...

    Father's day shooting one mile

    My son and I spent the day shooting at one mile and 825 yards. We were shooting a .338 Big Baer (.408/.338) and a .338 Baer (about the same as the .338 Lapua just a tad faster) and a 300 Win Mag at 825 yards (ran out of elevation and had to hold for it). https://photos.app.goo.gl/ipcy5dzoZbMnvDoB8

    Thoughts on annealing 5.56 ammo for AR15

    I've been reloading for 60 some years but new to loading for 5.56 AR15. I usually anneal after each firing of my long range guns (408/338) and others. But not sure about doing that for my 5.56 I don't like to crimp my bullets but was concerned I may not have enough neck tension (usually 0.003"...

    Rifle Scopes Help with Schmidt & Bender PMll 5-25X56

    After focusing the crosshair to its’ sharpest point using the ocular lens adjustment, say at 5 power and viewing a target at say 500 yards, if I zoom to 25X the target gets distorted (out of focus) and can’t be cleared up using just the parallax adjustment, I have to use the ocular lens...

    Rifle Scopes Do I have problem with this scope

    I have a S&B PMll 5-25X56. After mounting the scope I used a Bushnell bore sighter with a grid pattern. During the process I noticed that when I adjusted the side parallax the elevation would moving up and down as I rotated the parallax back and forth. It would move about two squares which would...
