    M1 Garand Reloading

    Hey all, Have had great success in this forum with questions for suggestions/advice, so figured I'd post this one up. Have a M1 Garand, re-barreled with the Criterion match barrel. Gorgeous gun for sure. Have a spam can of greek 1973 surplus ammo, and also 200 rounds of Federal M1...

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Next time all I need is a 1" reference. Or any reference. Check that On Target software out, pretty cool stuff, easy to do also. R/ Chris

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Alpha, Scored your target best I could. Guesstimated the one inch reference best I could. What a phenomenal group bro! If my bullet hole markings are off, please let me know and I will rescore. OnTarget Precision Calculator is what I used to score. I came up with .461 MOA! WOW!

    700 Action Rifle Build

    Thanks all! Yes, set on caliber, .308. Will be shooting most times at 100 yards, but at times out to 300 and possibly 500. I do live in MD. LOL Appreciate the replies on "truing", will you tube it. Hmmm, maybe just better off buying a trued receiver/bolt. Yeah, I am prepared to dump some...

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Varget did not print well for me. H4895, Varget and IMR4895 was what I experimented with. Was all I had in stock. The 4895 performed the best for me, but the H4895 was better than the IMR. So, CFE223 is your go to POF 308 powder? I'll check that availability. H4895 unfortunately has been...

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    So, I printed a .438 MOA 3 shot group at 300 yards, could likely be better but that is the shooter, not the load or the rifle. I did put a light taper crimp, I am only loading 42.2 and was a bit worried about the cartridges in the magazine unseating a bullet, even a little. What would you...

    Alpha, Do you put any kind of crimp on your reloads?

    700 Action Rifle Build

    I kept saying action, meant receiver. So, when I look on Brownells, I see for the .308 they offered both the LA and the SA. That was what I was questioning, and the reasoning behind choosing one over the other. R/ Chris

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Have you experimented with the 168 SMK? Reason I ask, is awhile back a Marine Sniper on here mentioned that for my barrel length (20"), that the 175 SMK would be preferred. I still have yet to work up/experiment with a load. R/ Chris

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    I have heard/experienced and seen this also. The FTF issue. A quick call to POF solved that right away. Normally it is when the rifles are brand new. They come with a coating (forget the name), but if one cleans like the video they show on the POF website one will likely have no issues. In...

    700 Action Rifle Build

    Hello all, I am contemplating building a precision bolt action rifle. I have settled on the 700 action so far and that is about it. This will be a "slow" build. I have a friend that works for Remington, and may be able to get a factory action from him. I am asking him for only an action...

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Awesome, nice shooting for sure. WISH I could get my POF-308-20 out past 300 yards. Tough here in MD to find a place. One of these days! What bullet were you handloading? What weight? For mine I found it loves H4895, 42.2, WLR, COAL 2.80 with the SMK 168 grainers. Was this shooting with...

    Rifle Scopes Question on MOA

    Hello all, I have what is likely a NOOB question. Attached is a pic of a 3 shot group I printed today at the range with my .300AAC. My optics are low end, all I can afford for now. Leupold MARK AR 3x9 40mm, and the turret adjustments are 1 click = 1/2 MOA at 100. This group was at 50...

    Lee hand loader good enough?

    To learn the process, it is adequate. My .02 cents...., then when you go "All IN", which you probably will......keep it, great de-primer as stated! LOL Learning the process, is important. This coming from a NOOB, who owned all the reloading stuff to make "match grade" ammo for well over 15...

    Which 3-in-1 case trimmer?

    Giraud, if you can AFFORD IT...., Still Saving for one here. RCBS 3 way cutter heads, I own 2, one for .22 for 5.56 brass, works AWESOME when adjusted properly, and one for 30 cal, again, read instructions and adjust properly. Freaking awesome invention there. Pricey also, Around $60.....

    Stainless steel tumbler, case discoloration?

    Easy on the lemmishine, just like adding salt to a meal! LOL I love the Thumlers! I started using HOT water, and tablespoon of Joy detergent with a spritz of lemmishine! When I do my first "dump" of water, I then fill tumbler again with hot water, swirl stuff around by hand, and dump...

    Baffled, does Brass ever Shrink in size?

    Hey all, Noob question here. Awhile back a friend of mine, while teaching me to reload "necked" cases, walked me thru loading some 30-06 junk loads, to "fire form" the brass to my T/C Encore. Just getting around to reloading them. I have done quite a bit .308 reloading since, so am...
