    Range Report COLD BORE WITH SUPPRESSOR

    POI shifts all have to do with the harmonics of the barrel. This can be effected by changing the weight at the end of the barrel like a suppressor or even a small muzzle break, to a lesser extent. Shooting different weight projectiles and different types or weights of powder effect harmonics...

    Mandrels expanders and different efforts

    Very interesting. How much time and money did you invest into your induction annealer? Your own design or did you have schemes?

    How much jump is too much?

    Once you set your seating depth on the die, and say 3 of 5 bullets are at your desired depth, the other 2 are still too long. Do you just keep cranking them out or do you adjust the die and try and fix the 2 that are too long? I'm loading 77gr SMKs and using Hornady custom dies and rarely do i...

    Rifle Scopes Why Not More Talk About Delta Stryker 1-6?

    I have never seen a lpvo with a parallax adjustment. That is terrific if it actually can be adjusted from say 25 meters up to infinity.

    IMR 8208 XBR and Hornady 68gBTHPs

    Fired 20 rounds of 77gr smk at the 600 yards today. 2 shots went off the paper. Didn't hold over for cold bore, left 0.2 mils. Wind hold was about 0.3 mils right, I can see that now. My ballistic calc app had me low 0.2 mils. Brought the wrong battery cable with the Chrono and was not able to...

    75 ELD-M....no one has them....why?

    After a lot of searching, i got lucky today. With your advise, i felt like i should have bought more, but it wasnt cheap. I'll just have to conserve and keep hunting for that 8lb jug.

    IMR 8208 XBR and Hornady 68gBTHPs

    Isn't the Lapua brass 223? The LC is 5.56, hence the higher pressure its able to tolerate.

    Reloading Equipment Looking for IMR 8208

    Can anyone spare a jug of the good stuff? Im local to Houston TX but will drive to pick up. Everything online is dry. I just started reloading back in March and finally settle on a load recently, but missed the panic buy train.

    Good fast powder for 77gr SMK out of 10.5" AR?

    Ive recently settle on IMR 8202 as my long range load for my 18" SPR because of the exact points you posted. But now i can no longer source any of this excellent powder and have used up the last of my bottle. My second powder choice is AR-Comp, which i have to accept a slightly lower MV and...

    Good fast powder for 77gr SMK out of 10.5" AR?

    That's great info, thank you. I had always thought the terminal performance of 77smk mushroomed and not yawed. There are some gel videos on youtube and one by AR15.com showing it expands fairly well even at low velocities. They tested out of an SBR IIRC.

    IMR 8208 XBR and Hornady 68gBTHPs

    Today 3 groups at 300 yards to confirm 23.2gr imr8208 with 77smk 1.846" to ogive. Seems to be around 3/4-1 moa. Maybe if I anneal the brass it will shrink the groups? When measuring the bullet seating depth to the ogive with the Hornady tool, I usually measure 8 times while turning the...
