Hi CDT, I did not post the speadsheet, but rather the resulting range chart. Do you get that? I'll try to find the source for the spreadsheet that you can download. It's on a different computer, but there are a number of good ones out there for free. You can also email me at...

Really CDC, the Whisper or Blackout sub-sonics do not require high end optics as there is a practical limit of about 300 yards for this round. What you need is a way to repeatedly elevate the muzzle for a given distance because its almost like firing a mortar. I have been using a cheap ($60) 4X...

Re: Private NON licenced reloaders Just not worth it Guys. You need to consider the litigation risk in everything you do these days. If his gun blows up it might not even be your reload that did it. But do you have the resources to prove it wasn't? These are the times in which we live. God...

Re: Hunting with a suppresser I shoot a 300 Whisper with suppressor which is the bees knees in quiet shooting. But it requires practice to be effective because of its rainbow trajectory. I have been working for a year and a half in load development and establishing range charts. I am just now...

Re: New NV Bracket Thank you, mcmillanman5. Could not for the life of me get that thing to show. Sherlok

Hi All, I've been trying to utilize relatively inexpensive NV monoculars as sighting equipment for several months now and have come up with a pretty good system for those (which includes me) on a budget. It is what it looks like...3Gray.jpg[/IMG]</a>[/img] The beauty of the thing besides...

Re: What is needed to make .300 blackout from .223? Watch your neck wall thickness. It should be about .015" or less. You might need an inside neck reamer (I use a Forester .304" special order) which gives a nice grip on a .308 bullet. J. D. Jones strongly recommends sizing up from .221...

Re: Weight Sorting Brass Variance? It's been my experience that case weight has no statistical correlation with case capacity at least with military brass. I have more acute problems with bullet length variations and hence cartridge overall length variations even with match bullets. My time...

I'm reluctant to give credit card info to any company I'm not familiar with. With the name "Trigger Action", you pull up everything but information on their company when Googling it. No where in their site do they even show a physical address or location. They may be legit, but because of this...

Re: Remington 700 SPS tactical .223 question My SPS Tactical likes 24.0 Grains of H4895 the best with that bullet. Never tried RamShot, but it does not shoot well with Varget. Seat it as far out as possible as long as it fits the magazine unless it bumps the lands. Then back off a few...

Re: Ultrasonic cleaner review I just bought a small ultrasonic and it works in someways better than tumbling such as it cleans inside the case much better as well as the primer pockets. I use 50% vinegar/water and a touch of dishsoap. I will probably use both systems, but I'm a bit annal...

Re: Case trimming advice Well I'll chime in here. I've always used the RCBS Trim Die that you run the case up into and if the case protrudes above the hardened steel surface, you shave it off with a file. Then chamfer with a Wilson tool. The gripping case holders of the Forster type hand...

Re: which bullet puller???? You need both. Sometimes you can bump the bullet in just a tad to break the bond created by time and still get a grip with the collet, but usually not. So you have to pound them out with the inertial puller at least far enough to get a firm grip. Lead bullets are...

Re: cheapest source for sierra 69 SMKs Try Nosler Custom Competitions in 69 grain. They are usually cheaper and shoot equally well. I use them as well as their .308s in 168 grain. Sherlok

Re: Need help w/ a 223 load Actually Hodgdon 4895 is more accurate for me in .223 while IMR 4895 works best in the .308. 24.0 grains is the starting load for H4895 and works just fine. It's a .5 moa load in my bolt gun and shoots 1 - 1.25 moa in my un-accurized AR 16" (it does have a RR two...

Re: Mil Ranging Thanks for the link Lindy. Good info. At least if you have a target on a hill, you would be aware of it and know that it will affect both ranging and trajectory. My point was based on my experience, measuring things horizontally as per the manufacturer's instructions cited...

Re: Stevens Action vs Savage action are they the s If you have Academy Sports nearby they have Stevens in 7mm08 for $199.00. I bought one, slapped a cheap scope on it, resized some .308s to 7mm08, and shot 6.75" at 500 yards. I might have to get another one - like I need another rifle. Sherlok

With cheaper range finders available, not too much seems to be written about ranging with mil dot scopes. After finally figuring out how to do it, I find it fascinating and easy using distance cards that you can download free, laminate and have stuck between your stock and extra cartridge loops...

Re: Cheap, cheap truck rifle Eddybo, what I did was not lapping in the true sense where you use a lead lap with compound, but rather I used tight fitting cloth patches. I started with 320 grit and went higher (I only have about 3 different grits) and finished with JB paste. Run it back and...
