    surgeon 260 load

    I'm assuming you are in Texas, where the winters (at least where I lived) don't get to cold. If I am wrong and your temps are lower than the fifty degrees, the summer day situation could be even worse.

    surgeon 260 load

    OCW is a different test than a ladder. It stands for optimal charge weight. Do a search for it if you are not familiar with it, or do a search for Dan Newberry, he pioneered/discovered. If you are showing pressure signs back off. I suggest reading the reloading stickies if you haven't...

    Savage 10 bolt problem, ejector stuck

    With hot loads I have had the ejector deform around the retention pin (the cross pin). After driving out the cross pin I was able to beat on the bolt face with a rubber mallet and eventually got the ejector out enough to grab it with some needlenose. The spring was ok, but the recess cut into...

    price for used ar upper?

    Not knowing the cost I can't really offer any advice except wonder what the cost of new barrel and hand guard would be, with the used upper, seems like it might be a wash with a new one.

    Sorry to be contrary a 1:12 twist at 3000 fps is 3000 revolutions per second, not minute.

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    could barrel time be called barrel timing? As in finding the node which would be the charge weight where the barrel acts the same, harmonically, plus or minus a small percentage? Not trying to beat a dead horse, I just want to understand.

    price for used ar upper?

    he's looking for an upper receiver. with a bcg or no? I don't know what they would be used but I think you might be better served buying new for a hundred dollars or so more. I have used model one sales for this before and I very happy with what I got (24" ss heavy barrel flat top, floating...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    I am confused. Are you saying that you get the same muzzle velocity from both powders but at distance one powder is faster? It seems to me that once the bullet has left the barrel, under the same conditions, with the same bullet and the same velocity they should exhibit similar, or even the...

    Check out my muzzle...

    yup. keep shooting and it will just be a big glob. I just took the brake of my .308 to look at the crown can't see much but about a 1/16" layer of gook (see Fletch) built up on the muzzle. Still shoots better than i do.

    Hi from cold north-east BC

    bummer. Here a fifteen minute drive in almost any directions and you can shoot as far as you can see. Decent range twenty or so minutes away, a little over six hundred, plenty of shooters. Come on down, I'll feed you Christmas dinner and then we can go shoot. It's about mid forties which...
