    .223 Bolt Rifle Barrel and Bullet Compatibility

    I had several barrels that did not like Hornady 68gr BTHP, handloaded with two powders (Varget and RE15) to all kinds of lengths and the usual suspects of variations, nor would it shoot Black Hills factory loading of them either. 69gr SMK, 77gr SMK, and even 75gr Hornady shot fine which I...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 for hunting

    I almost bought a 2.5-20x a few months back but the eyebox kept giving me issues. Had to be exactly 100% perfect which, when hunting or shooting a match, isn’t guaranteed. That said, the higher the magnification on the high end could help with target ID (minimum point/antler requirements if you...

    Primer Shortage

    Wish my SW would stock some I’ve reduced my shooting by 80% because of this. I have started dry firing more and shooting about 2 rounds for practice for every one in a match now and cut back two matches a year. Used to be considerably more

    Primer Shortage

    I’d been posting in stock Varget in the “in stock” thread but kind of stopped. I can tag you in the next one Primers are available if you’re willing to pay asking price. CCI BR2/4’s are like $160+ before shipping and hazmat most places. Even regular 200/400s are about $90+. They’re...

    New reloader, . 223 oal variance

    Some of the SMK meplats are very jagged. Hornady tends to have a more consistent open tip but measuring to the ogive is the most accurate way (as mentioned). I load to mag length (2.260”) and use PMags which allow for a slight overage, so I know that if I get a meplat with jagged tip that...

    I bought CCI 400 and 500 primers two weeks ago at Natchez for $85/k. They’ve gone up $10 per brick since then. Damn this market Hodgdon has 1lb Varget bottles right now https://shop.hodgdon.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-varget

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    It sucks but literally has not been available in 2+ years in my local shop. There isn’t another reloading supply store within 90 minutes of my location and that option is a big box store that has some .50BMG powder and little else. If it wasn’t for $50/lb Varget and $100/K primers plus Hazmat...
