    Rifle Scopes Value of Leupold? MK4 3.5-10x40 M1 knobs TMR reticle

    I agree on about $800. Depends who you're selling to. I'm interested to see answers though. I have this same scope with a FFP reticle that I'm selling to upgrade.

    neck expander....

    I'll second the FL sizing suggestion. I've actually been neck sizing, then expanding. Using a Redding bushing die followed by a Sinclair Gen II mandrel. The bushing is just enough to size the neck down enough so my mandrel will touch the I.D. so I can get uniform tension and not have to worry as...

    OCW/COAL question

    Just got back from the range. Got some good data to go off of. I started at my min charge and worked up in .4gr increments to max. No signs of over-pressure. I seated all bullets to match 175gr FGMM. After I explore this node a little further I will start playing with seating depth. My...

    OCW/COAL question

    Pinecone, that was my plan once I find a charge. Dauntedfuture, why drop the charge 1gr? Just curious.

    OCW/COAL question

    Ok thanks for the replies! I couldn't think of any reason it would work out one way or the other. Just checking my work haha. I'll do a set of the old recipe, at magazine length and the old OAL, and report back this weekend. Charlie, that's the best answer I could come up with by myself.

    OCW/COAL question

    Not yet. Just going to see if there was anything that I'm missing before I load the rounds tonight. I'm going to load some similar to the previous recipe for sighters and to just see how it works.

    OCW/COAL question

    Ok first I want to apologize if this seems like I'm rambling on. Ive been doing just that and my wife is tired of it lol. Long story short, I developed a load with my Rem 700 before I got it set in a Manners stock w/ a Badger M5 DBM. Now that the rifle is back I realized my previous load...

    COAL question on .308 700p

    I ave actually been wondering about this as well. I'm in a similar situation and I'm not sure how this would affect my load development. I'm limited by my AI magazine length as well

    Norma 202 powder

    Wow good info, thanks! I'm on my phone so I can't see the pics right now but those numbers make me feel better. I really appreciate the work, I haven't found that thread before either. Sounds like I've got some work to do. As soon as my new expander die gets here I'll be ready to load. In...

    Norma 202 powder

    Its out of a Rem 700 AAC, 20" in a Manners T6A. This thing shoots well with FGMM 175s but I wasn't sure on a good powder for the short barrel.

    Norma 202 powder

    Has anyone used Norma 202 powder for .308? I got ahold of a couple of pounds as it was the only powder I could find that was recommended for 308. I've read that it is the same mix as RL-12 but I still haven't found much info on how well RL-12 performs. Based on the little bit of info I've found...

    Sako TRG 22, not all its cracked up to be?

    Yeah he doesn't have 1000+ posts. He MUST be a new shooter. God I hate when people don't post as much as I do. Hell I met a guy once who had never been to a single internet forum because he was at the range shooting. What an idiot, right? OP I'm sure Sako will take care of you. I'm not familiar...

    The importance of keeping LOT# data

    Temp, that's exactly what I was wondering. I was WAY too tired to articulate any type of thought when I posted earlier lol

    The importance of keeping LOT# data

    Ok that makes a lot of sense, thanks. I guess I was thinking the lot #s changed too often to even bother, other than realizing that one is different from the other.

    The importance of keeping LOT# data

    Maybe this is a stupid question. I have been shooting and reloading for years (mostly bulk pistol reloads) but I'm just now starting to load for precision. I understand the different characteristics that different lot numbers can have. My question is, if you go to buy more components and have to...

    Short Action Precision rifle sling review

    Great review. I'm wanting to get into tactical precision competition and now I regret only having flush cups on one side and not both on my Manners stock lol

    Lets see your tactical plate carrier

    Not to nit pick here but why place the IFAK all the way on the rear? I understand the IFAK is to patch yourself, whether you do it or your partner. However, I've always kept mine out of the way but still easily accessible in the event I need to grab my own bandages or TQ ETA: Otherwise I like...
