    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? I don't think they make any types of .223 ammo.

    Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo

    Re: Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo Great to see someone who has done this over a long period of time without any ill effects, thanks Kraig. TonyAngel - I heard about Remingtons having a longer throat as well, thus why I also don't think there is any problem shooting 5.56 ammo...

    Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo

    Re: Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo No actually after hearing some not so great reviews of him and his longer than expected work estimates, I decided to go with a guy named Sean from CDI Custom located in PA. I met with him in person, and went over what I wanted for the...

    Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo

    Re: Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo Thanks, I didn't figure there would be a big problem. I think my smith told me this cause he knew I didn't load my own rounds. If I'm not mistaken, a common way people measure distance to the lands is with a bullet half crimped seated far...

    Remington 700 in .223 shooting 5.56x45mm ammo

    I've seen quite a bit of back and forth on this topic from forum to forum, time to time. I'm wondering if specifically my Remington 700 5R chambered in .223 can safely and effectively shoot 5.56x45mm rounds such as those with M193 or M855. Now I know what the general rule is. No one should...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? Ended up just eating my words, bought 1000 rounds of Black Hills 69 grain MatchKing Blue Box today. So no more cheap ammo for me at least for a while...Pretty good price too, $500 shipped. I'm glad I have a nice slow bolt action. My buddy...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? I never realized I should be so worried about the potential dangers of other people's handloads. If its a legal issue okay I accept that. There is a level of responsibility and financial liability of any product being sold to the general...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? LongCut, I was doing a little more research last night and actually stumbled upon that PPU Match 69 grain as well. Lots of people had good reviews for it and it was about a third the price of Federal Gold Match. I saw some posts the other day...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? Thanks for the info. I have been saving all the brass so far. I will be trying some of the 62 grain USA Ammo brand .223 which is part of Winchester. The prices seem good around 15 bucks for 50 rounds. I'll see if it has any marked...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    Re: Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo? I see, so legal issues pretty much make it illegal to try and sell handloads to the public. That explains why I don't see too many private individuals selling it on the forums In regards to safety, for a reloader with experience, is really...

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    Re: Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting As a follow-up to my original post, I ended up buying that Pentax PF-65ED spotting scope along with a fixed SMC XW 10mm eyepiece which is 39x on that model. It is the first fixed eyepiece I have ever owned and the view is amazing. The sheer...

    Why don't more people sell handloaded ammo?

    I'm really just getting started with longer range shooting (300 yd limit). I bought a Remington 700 5R in .223 a few months back. My question is why don't more people sell handloaded ammo that they prepared themselves? I hear there is quite an advantage in cost from loading, and I assume many...

    Lightweight Spotting Scope Tripods

    Re: Lightweight Tripods For my new Pentax spotting scope I just bought this one from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EE7XYW I haven't received it yet but should be great for prone and bench position shooting for my spotting scope. The downside is that it only extends from 10...

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    Re: Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting Awesome, i found a good deal for that 80mm Pentax eye piece. I was worried since the focal length was different on the different models it may be a problem. It seems the 8-24mm piece is quite a bit wider in view than the XF series that...

    Midwayusa or Optics planet drag bag?

    Re: Midwayusa or Optics planet drag bag? I only have the Midway sniper drag bag so I can't comment on others. Before this I only oned Allen soft single bags so it is definitely stronger and holds two rifles. However maybe i'm just not used to it but it feels very front heavy when lifting by...

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    Re: Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting Great info from eveybody. I'm actually looking to get the Pentax PF-65EDA model. It is relatively small and light, accepts 1.25" astronomy telescope eyepieces, and has ED type glass for a reasonable price. Only problem is the standard 20-60x...

    What rifle case are you using

    Re: What rifle case are you using I use the Sniper drag bag from Midwayusa, they're on sale now and of decent quality. Since i just needed a range bag i took off most of the extra straps for backpack carrying and just left the main sling...

    Range Report Hornady Responded to my Superformance Performance

    Re: Sell your Decapping rod and Buy Superformance ammo That doesn't sound good. I just bought 10 boxes of the 53 grain superformance rounds. I hope the problem you're facing does not apply to .223. After i test mine later in the week i'll let you know if i also face those issues.

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    Re: Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting Nice Vortex spotting scope! That's my thought as well, that a 80mm lens or larger scope with upto 60x zoom might not be needed. I agree about the mirage statement. Even at 70-80 degrees at 36x I can see a good helping of it that's why I...
