    Rifle Scopes HELP NEED OPIONS ON THE BURRIS XTR SERIES SCOPES

    Re: HELP NEED OPIONS ON THE BURRIS XTR SERIES SCOPES I have had and still have a few Burris scopes. The glass is really good for the money IMHO. I have spent more money on optics and not gotten the quality of glass. I agree with Bob's comments concerning use. Hope that help.

    147 Grain FMJBT in 1 in 10 twist

    Re: 147 Grain FMJBT in 1 in 10 twist Thanks everyone for the comments. I have the Lee and Sierra reloading manuals so will consult those as well. I will use these as a test to see how accurate and consistent I can get them. will buy some 168 and 175 grains as well. In any event it should be fun!

    147 Grain FMJBT in 1 in 10 twist

    I have a Rock River LAR-8 with 20", 1 in 10 twist barrel. I am going to try 168 and 175 grain Sierras but I have 1000 of these 147 grains that came with brass I bought. A couple of questions: 1) Are these too lite for this twist rate? (i have found differing opinions on the internet) 2) If...

    This has probably been asked numerous time but....

    Re: This has probably been asked numerous time but.... Does that one work on an AR10? I have an AR15 wrench for my other rifles and tried to see if it would work with no luck.

    DPMS chambered in .223 vs 5.56

    Re: DPMS chambered in .223 vs 5.56 I have a DPMS .223 and called DPMS and ask them the question. The answer was. "Do not fire 5.56 in the .223 chambered barrel." for the same reasons listed above. Hope that helps.

    This has probably been asked numerous time but....

    Does anyone know where you can get a barrel nut wrench for a Rock River LAR-8. It has stock plastic handguards, 20 inch barrel and stock barrel nut. I searched this site and did not find anything, maybe it was the way I was searching. Thanks for any help. I am trying to replace it with a free...

    .223 Runout I guess

    Re: .223 Runout I guess Thanks. Lee had me check that and the plug goes down over the bullet near the end of the ogive. He also had me wrap the plug with enough tape that it would sit in the cap and not move. This did not work either. the suggestion to partially seat the bullet and then...

    .223 Runout I guess

    Re: .223 Runout I guess Cabela's is replacing my dies. We will see if that fixes it. If not, What other dies would be good that will work with my Lee press?

    .223 Runout I guess

    Re: .223 Runout I guess I called Lee and the guy there went through a few things with me but concluded that it is probably the bullet as there is less surface on the 223 that is straight to align in the case. I am not an expert so I dont know. These are bulk bullets from Scharch. Any...

    .223 Runout I guess

    Re: .223 Runout I guess Thanks for all the responses. I am using a set of Lee dies that I bought with the presses. I will check the dies, try the rotate method and see what happens. If I rotate it and it works is it me or the die? having to rotate every shell seems time consuming. Thanks

When I load my .308 rounds on the single stage the bullet is very straight. When I load .223 on either press the...
