Re: New to reloading need a starting point for .223 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. When I said long range I guess I should have said something more like " shoot as far as I can accurately". I guess everything is relative.

Re: New to reloading need a starting point for .223 I don't have a manual yet. I'm getting the Hornady single stage kit as a gift for Christmas and the manual comes with that. I want to reload for long range / precision.

I'm just starting to reload and I was wondering if anyone had a good baseline for .223, 26" barrel, 1:12 twist. From using factory ammo I know it likes 55 grain bullets so I was going to use to experiment starting with them. I'm more curious with different types of powder and primers to use.

Re: Foward retaining pin in rem 700 trigger mech yea you guys were right I didn't remove the bolt stop reset. Once I completely removed the rear pin I was able to take the front pin out. But man it was a PITA getting that spring back in.

Re: Foward retaining pin in rem 700 trigger mech I've removed the rear one with no problems. I also tried lubing it up pretty well

I just got my Timney trigger mech in the mail and I can't remove the foward retaining pin from the old mech. any suggestion?

Re: NEW PROJECT - Need Some Guidance - SBR Bolt Action You could just buy one 26" barrel blank cut it down to 10". If that doesn't work then use your original scrap and have a 16" barrel which we know does work.

Re: Shooting at an angle Ok so the distance that you're shooting at is essentially the base of the right triangle. Because the is basically the distance in which gravity is affecting the bullet got it.

Re: Shooting at an angle The difference in elevation is large enough that it needs to be taken accounted for.

So I read a few other posts about this subject but I'm still a little confused. When you are shooting down hill at a target how do you account for the angle in the trajectory? Do you adjust your scope so that you are basically shooting the straight line distance?

Can you clean the bolt of an AR-15 with an ultra sonic cleaner? An if I can what should I add to the water?

Re: First precision rifle! I'm on the one year plan. I plan on having my rifle completely set up by next summer and then use next summer to play around with reloading. Also I'll be done with school by then so hopefully I'll have a lot more time.

Re: Using a Lens Filter to Protect your Scope's Lens I was thinking the same exact thing this week. I might spend the 10 or so dollars to try it out.

Re: Nikon M223 I already have it and I like it a lot. The turrets feel really good and it seems very accurate but I haven't shot it past 100 yards yet.

Is anyone else using the Nikon M223 scope? I bought it last week and I like it a lot I was just wondering what other people thought.

I'm looking for a scope that cost less than 400 dollars. I'm putting this scope on a Remington 700 .223 with a 26" barrel. I would like to shoot accurately as far as possible. I was looking a millett and thought they look pretty good does anyone else have any input?

Re: LONG ISLAND N.Y. Shooters????? Huntington here. I go to Calverton and Brookhaven when I can.

Does anybody know any gunsmiths on LI or southern NY that can do a good job working on a Remington 700?
