Excited To Start A Sniper Rifle Collection From FL
Cool, I like the M14 rifles. Prefer the "classic" M14 based sniper like the M21 or Port Security versions vs the newer EBR.- smoothy8500

American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders
Update to the various MP powders listed as "Similar to AA2230". American Reloading responded to me in an e-mail that they were all the same bulk powder, but different lots as @RegionRat suggested. Therefore they assigned a different number to each. Thanks- smoothy8500

American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders
Cool, thanks. Just curious on the different numbers. Both 424 and 425 say similar to 2230 and wondered if there is a difference between the two or if it's just different lot numbers. Regardless, it sounds like it will fit the bill for the intended purpose.- smoothy8500

American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders
Anyone have experience with the cheaper powders available from AR? They list it as "similar to" AA2230. I tried to search here and Google but not much luck on reviews or past experience. Just looking for powder to make some cheaper rounds when participating in the "Run-n-gun" matches that only...- smoothy8500

If there weren't benches to sit on, then 99% of shooters in America wouldn't even be able to shoot at all......- smoothy8500

Wild ES with Tac 223 Load
Not that this is related to your SD's, but an extra step that is working against you. The neck tension at .002" is insufficient for semi-auto. Just use the factory expander button that gives .004/.005" neck. Dillon dropper sometimes need polishing and "tweaking" the springs and assembly to...- smoothy8500

Brass for precision Semi-Autos.
I have used everything from Federal, GI "once fired" LC, Winchester, PMC, etc., and they all have a lifespan of 4-5 firings. I inspect for imminent case separation and find the number increases dramatically at the 5th-6th reload. No one mfr was significantly more accurate or longer life with my...- smoothy8500

Out of the box problems with my ZCO 527
I'm guessing this....or maybe the "other guy" with a broken scope at the match was operator error/mount/ring problem...Either way, hate it when a complainer shows up here but doesn't report on the final disposition. Easy for a novice/uninformed shooter to assume it's the scope because they don't...- smoothy8500

Old eyes and iron sights......or I can't see shit anymore.
That is true and I agree with the psychological factor impacting our ability to aim accurately. Perhaps I should rephrase it to "the common rule of thumb" for 90% of older shooters.- smoothy8500

Old eyes and iron sights......or I can't see shit anymore.
Using that "formula" will have too strong of a script, which leaves the target blurrier than necessary. Stick with the formula I gave in post #3. Those numbers have been tried and tested for years. You are correct though as to the vertex being close to the inner edge/bridge of the glasses. This...- smoothy8500
