    Peltor ear pro battery issues

    I've got comtacs, fairly new, and I must have 10 hours on them easy and they are still on the first set of batteries. 6hours seems way short for battery life.

    swage vs chamfer primer pocket

    swage I've got a RCBS powered case prep and can cut the crimps, but my hands get too sore after not that many cases. I came into 25,000 308 Mil LC cases and I sure wasn't going to that by hand so I got a dillon 1050. I also had > 10,000 556's sitting on the shelf because I didn't want to hand...

    QuickLoad QL - need load for 338 Lap

    Fusion, or parallels. Works OK in Wine, but there are some minor UI issues. You really don't need QL to get your starting ladders... I'd start with the published data from Lapua for the VV570 powder Products - Lapua looks like a range of 80-91gr's

    Hmmm I must have 200 + pc of max brass in the basement. I knew it was yellow, but didn't know it was gold!

    Sanity Check from the Hide's reloading Gurus.

    So SAAMI has a range of dimensions that are acceptable for ammo to be within... your FGM might have had brass that was a bit to the larger side of spec, and didn't expand as much. Your Lapua brass might have been closer to minimum size specs, and therefore could stretch more. Also: The...

    Suppressors Date question on "Assignment of Property" document (with pic)

    The assignment date is the date you transferred 'ownership' to the trust. The date on the form 4 is the day the trust is allowed to take possession. I've had this discussion with my lawyer already. The result of the discussion was there is no need to assign property to the trust that the trust...

    Results From a First Time Reloader and Some Questions

    something I actually show students in the basic reloading class. Depending on the technique, where on the jaws they put the item to be measured, how they orient it in the jaws, and how hard the close the caliper.. we can get 3-5 thou of variance across 5 people on the same item to be measured.

    Results From a First Time Reloader and Some Questions

    I don't measure them all the time, but when I did, I recall .002 variance. 0.010 base to ogive seems way out of the norm for SMK's

    premature case head seperation

    can't happen if the chamber doesn't have a defect, and the bolt is keeping the back of the chamber sealed. define "big" .002 .020 ? pictures might help. Is the bulge uniform around the head of the case, or only on part of the cartridge? If non-uniform, can he attribute it to a consistent...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    The big magnums don't work well, but I don't think you can even get Contender barrels in those chamberings... More of an encore's problem. Also any of the holds a ton of powder rifle cartridges don't work so well as there isn't enough barrel to get the powder burnt, and all you do is make a big...

    300 blackout loading data for rem 700 16 inch bbl

    working with 220 SMK, and 1050 as a target velocity. powder charge pk muz unique - 5.5 33K 1.4k bulz 5.0 33k 1.4k w231 5.8 40k 1.3k I'd personally like a slower powder, but some of these are possibly viable. The %fill sucks, and ES may be highly erratic, but at 50-150 yds, it...

    300 blackout loading data for rem 700 16 inch bbl

    head over to 300blktalk.com/forum and take a read through the reloading section. Lots of load data there. With the bolt gun, you have some options that the gas gun ar-15 crowd does not. I've got a 700 action at home with a 300 barrel haven't started working up loads for it yet, but have run...

    if you are getting a .020 variance measuring from the ogive... then something is not right with your setup. 001-002 I'd be able to live with, 20 thou... no.

    7mm Remington Magnum Users

    Short of dangerous game, and some of the VERY big bears, this is enough gun for just about everything else on the planet. If you want a do it all rifle, 7mag, or 30-06. and don't look back. I like the 7mm as ammo availability is good, and during the panic it wasn't one of the first sections...
