    Required MV for 175 @ 1,000 yards?

    I don't see any concern. My 20" 5R runs at 2624, and that is more than enough

    Gunsmithing 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup Donation Rifle

    I met Chad on Thursday and had the opportunity to get a "tour" of this rifle, dry fire it, and quite possibly shed a little tear on the fine camo pattern. I can assure you this stick is more badass than even these pics show. The bolt cycled like butter, and I swear the trigger broke just by...

    Morale Patch?

    Well done Frank...I'll definitely be looking at picking up 1. Good stuff.

    Inconsistencies with virgin brass and new bullets

    I had asked Kevin a similar question awhile back, and his suggestion is a sound one. I don't have a N/S or an expanding mandrel in .308, so I just used my Lee Collet Die to attempt the same outcome. It does seem to expand them just a touch, and absolutely took care of any out of round cases...

    Fed 210M primers in stock at Natchez

    Just picked up 2k. While paying the Hazmat fee + a stout shipping charge is no fun, I jumped on it after yet another verification yesterday at Sportsman's Warehouse that getting primers there will involve taking a day off work, and basically winning a lottery. It has been 6 months since they...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    Just wanted to get a read on if there are going to be any food vendors set up? Going to be camping with a buddy, and we are just planning out the trip. Should we just plan on going into town for dinners etc? No doubt we will be bringing up some food...just trying to get an idea of 'how much of...

    CZ 455 PT action screws torque value

    I've been torquing them dry...should I be doing it lubricated? A follow up question then for Justin amateur: Just to be clear--those values you stated of 28 in/lbs (rear action) and 24 in/lbs (forward action) was lubricated? I ask because that is basically what I've been using as well...only...

    Which bubble level is right for me? (List of available parts and issues with each inside)

    I'm glad I found this thread, as I've been going through the same process. I decided to go with the Accuracy 1st for my .308. I was looking really hard at the Tubbs, and may just pick one of those up for my .223 at some point. It seems like levels are a little more important than I had...

    Books for the new reloader

    I think a good flow would be to start off with ABCs of Reloading, then the Lyman 49th ed, and maybe the Hornady manual (for the discussions on interior & exterior ballistics). After getting some fundamentals and terminology under your belt...pick up the Zediker book. I'm really torn on Zediker's...

    Wow. That is about as good as it gets. Well done!

    cleaning rod size for .22

    I have been using my .22 rod that I use for my .223 Rem & 5.56. While it fits in my CZ455, it seems quite tight,and I'm wondering if the brass threaded collar is even scratching. I seems to keep getting 'blue' swabs out of it,and I only shoot Wolf. I'm wondering if I'm leaving bits of brass in...

    Just to be clear....that cashier is a girl, right? :p

    So hard to find reliable electronic scales.

    I've been liking my GemPro 250 as well. The only thing I notice is that it is a little slow on registering that last 1-2 kernels, which means I sometime trickle over. It is such a small mass (~0.02gr for Varget), that I think its kind of at the bleeding edge for the scale to pick up when...

    I winked at the cashier and.........

    Thank God the mystery is solved...that had been bugging me, and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out acronyms. No shit on the CO legislature! Although I did just receive my 10 mags from Magpul last week ;) OK...back to the regularly scheduled thread.

    OK, I've seen this multiple times and can't figure it out. What store is LGS? I'm thinking we don't have them in CO

    Which neck die?

    I set mine up like acts238 above...and not per the Lee instructions. I don't have to guesstimate how much pressure I'm applying, and do not get any exterior marking. Polishing all the internals (see YouTube for that) really made a difference as well. I've been happy with the LCD thus far. I...

    Tips on getting cartridge runout under .002"?

    You may want to ensure your seater plug is not the culprit. They can be honed/polished out a bit to account for VLD profiles. It is hard for a manufacturer to design something for every possible bullet profile, so a modification may be in order. I had this done on my Forster die (was free, after...

    Throwing out highest & lowest shots when calculating ES?

    I'm not even close to saying I'm versed in statistics...but I was wondering if anyone made a practice of discarding their highest & lowest chronographed velocities when determining their ES? This would be from at least a statistically significant population (at least 15...better to have 35+). I...
