    .338LM - .50 Cal

    Re: Loads for .338LM- .50 Cal I loaded up some Hornady 285's with 90.0 , 91.0 and 92.0 of Retumbo. I got 2695 fps with the 90.0 and 2725 with the 91.0 load (which was very accurate.) The chrono strap (MagnetoSpeed..sigh) broke on the first 92.0 shot so I didn't get a speed on that. Running...

    Opinions of what will happen.

    Re: Opinions of what will happen. 100% background checks will probably make it. Gun Show Loophole is too easy to say on the news. Hopefully we get the immediate family exemption that NY somehow left in their bill. I don't think the ban on semi-autos will pass but I'm not so sure about the...

    The future of a firearms enthusiast

    Re: The future of a firearms enthusiast I don't post much but read the forum almost everyday. I had much the same thought lately. I'm not ready to throw in the towel but I wonder if our generation (50 yo plus) will be the last to experience the joy of recreational shooting on a large scale...

    223 and twist - quick question(s)

    Re: 223 and twist - quick question(s) I can only reply to question 1. I shoot 6.5 twist Pac-Nor barrels in all my match guns. It can shoot the 90 grain amax but I shoot match bullets all the way down to 55 grains without issue. 90% of the shooting is 200-600 yards with 80 amax bullets at...

    Suppressors ATF takes forever

    Re: ATF takes forever I sent mine in 2 weeks ago. They cashed the check last week so I know they got it. Hopefully it will be closer to 5 months than 6. Tick-Tock....

    Barrel Question for those that know the DTA SRS

    Re: Barrel Question for those that know the DTA SRS I can only speak of my experience. I bought a DTA 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for mine as part of a recent group purchase. First day out, the worst group was .65". Cleaned and shot it this past Saturday and the worst group was .44". (all with...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread I finally got a chance to shoot the new 6.5 Creedmoor barrel today. Tried 140 Amax and 120 Amax Hornady factory ammo. I also got to use the new MagnetoSpeed chronograph. All the shooting was prone from the mat, using an Atlas bipod and...

    Suppressors Register mail for Form 4?

    Sorry for such a simple question, read through a few pages of posts and tried a search. I have everything to send in my Form 4. Regular mail, certified return receipt or something else? I see where folks used a personal check as a way to confirm receipt leading me to believe certified isn't...

    Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR

    Re: Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR I used the same 24.0 load and played with loads up to 24.5 without any noticeable improvement. They don't shoot as well as the SMKs or Hornady 75 HPBT in my guns. I had hoped they would be a good replacement for the SMKs but I guess you...

    Priming 338 Lapua with Lee handpriming-tool?

    Re: Priming 338 Lapua with Lee handpriming-tool? I used a Number 8 Lee shell holder for the auto prime. Fits fine as far as I can tell. I use a #35 Redding shellholder on my press. Hope that helps.

    Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR

    Re: Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR As others have said, there are 4 or 5 powders that all shoot well. RL-15, Varget and N140 are what most folks I shoot with use with the 77SMK in 20" SR match barrels. Pick one and go. You hear comments about RL-15 being more temperature...

    .223 load rl17

    Re: .223 load It seems hot to me. I shoot all my match 223 out of PacNor 1:6.5 barrels with a Wylde chamber so my experience is based on that. At 25.0 with the 80 gr. Amax I get pierced primers when the temps are over 90 degrees so I limit it to 24.5. RL-15 seems a lot more temperature...

    Priming 338 Lapua with Lee handpriming-tool?

    Re: Priming 338 Lapua with Lee handpriming-tool? Not necessarily true. I used a Dremel and ground the opening on the Lee tool and crimped a batch of 338L last week. I can't remember which shellholder I have in it. I can check later and post it. This applies to the older Auto Prime tool...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th I emailed them a few weeks about the same thing. I would buy a Creedmoor barrel if you do a group buy.

    Advanced Marksmanship Analyze This

    Re: Analyze This Having there a bunch, if this is offhand, my guess is the shooter is firing while the front site is leaving the center rather than moving towards it during the wobble. I know Tubbs explains it well but I can't do it consistently yet. If sitting, how far out at 3:00 is it...

    Progressive or single stage pres

    Re: Progressive or single stage pres I shoot competitive high power and I don't know of many Master or High Master shooters using progressives on their match ammo. I have a 650 I use to crank out handgun ammo (for IDPA type shooting, that works fine.) I also use it for 223 plinking stuff...
