    Varget powder replacement

    Man oh man if you can find Varget then get it. But I am kinda partial to H4895 for 168's and .308. I really like the CFE 223 with 178 AMAX & Nosler 180's for .308 too. .308 & IMR 4064 can't really go wrong either.

    Rifle Scopes Please tell me about SWFA

    I have two of them. A SS 12x42 & the SS HD 1-6x24 FFP. Great quality and performance. I can't really come up with any real complaints about the two. Buy with confidence...

    What is the slowest burning powder that is safe for Semi Auto 308 AR rifle?

    In fact I have tested and ocw'd with h4895, Varget, IMR 4064 & CFE 223 in my LR-308, 168 grain Amax's and SMK's. H4895 is probably my top choice because I achieved tightest groups with it. Velocity is superior to Varget and 4064. The CFE 223 is the slower burning of the bunch & I was creaming my...

    Phase 5 EBRV2

    I use the Phase 5 Tactical EBRV2 on my LR-308 that I built. When I was getting all the parts together I came across info about them and just thought it looked way better than the Magpul or any other and it is one piece. It has a wicked look to it on the gun. It works great. Some here just...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa ss 12x42

    I had been shooting short ranges with a 1.5-6 USO on a LR-308. Good for hunting, but I'm not hunting & I needed something g with more magnification and a much thinner reticle for precision. I didn't want to spend a bundle either and went to SWFA site to looked at a lot of options. The SWFA SS...

    Full length sizing or not

    Yeah I'm no know it all either but I think if you do not full length size for your bolt gun that does not mean you never do. I think after so many cycles of neck sizing or neck & shoulder bump sizing you should do a full length sizing every so often, like every fourth time or something? I've...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    I'm going to try this in the dark at a power of 1-3. At night you may not need it at even 5 power. Maybe 1-3 it won't be so pronounced from the front?

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical 1-5 Power Vs SS 1-6 power

    SS 1-6 Go home happy I promise you.... I am completely stoked over mine. Can't tell you anything about the weaver. What about the bushy 1-6.5? Azimutha pretty much said what I think of SS 1-6 already, and the glass is great!! One thing it needs is mag lever. I also have a SS 12x, love it...

    Varget fast enough powder for an 18.5 inch barrel and 175 SMKs

    I can achieve 2500+ fps from 16" barrel using CFE 223 under a 178 AMAX, Hornady .308 brass. LR-308 with JP Supermatch barrel. Chrono is PACT XP. 47.3 gr CFE 223 is as far as I went and it was an accuracy node for my barrel. 46.8 gr is accuracy node too and I like to use that one. Brass won't...

    I'm Rich! Powder Valley order finally arrived.

    Joe, it is a multi facetted tool. There are many uses and mine are many. Yes indeed it is a puller, in fact this is it's purpose, but I pull other things using it. For bullet pulling that could be great idea, I can see that now, thanks!! It is self lubing too. The lube can be preferred by many...
