    Very confused. Dope changed big time? What caused this?

    Good points. Well that has me worried as i have great loads using varget & h4350 as well as 2000mr but have been steering way from it due to temp stability. I can definitely see the pp move with temp but as i said not the hodgdon powders. Now i haven't had a chance to check dope at distance when...

    Very confused. Dope changed big time? What caused this?

    Weird, i have some test loads saved that i always start with prior to load development to make sure i am good to go as well as my magneto chrono. I've shot varget and h4350 in freezing weather and in the summer, 90+ F in direct sun, i've never seen my avg fps on those rounds change. Fwiw, while...

    Consistent seating off lands?

    I use a redding seater with micrometer. It doesn't seat off the ogive but gives me consistent results. Loading bergers, typically my rounds are +/- .001" when i check with my hornady comparator to the ogive, yes i check everyone. The only time this varies more is with high/low neck tension or...

    Range Report Barrel temp????

    I am with the others, i am shooting a 30" bull criterion in 308. It doesn't walk at all after shooting 20-25 rounds in 15 mins, and the barrel is blazing hot due to hot ftr loads. As long as i am not permanently damaging the barrel (it is an exceptionally accurate barrel) or significantly...

    Advanced Marksmanship Supporting weight with elbows in prone

    PS i have been in denial about the SH training for a long time, refusing to follow. Even formal training spoke against it. But i am here to humbly say, it works, they know what they are talking about. The trigger section is especially spot on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Advanced Marksmanship Supporting weight with elbows in prone

    I have been battling this for awhile. If i am low in prone and straight behind, the butt is directly on my collar bone and nothing else. Painful to shoot in long strings. If i angle slightly, the butt is in the meat of shoulder pocket but my groups suffer and i get knocked all over the place...

    Bushing Die, reason for Expander?

    This has been bothering my for awhile. Yes i agree an expander button is a common cause of runout, it's purpose (in my head at least) is not really to smooth dings out but to size the only thing we really care about, the INSIDE of the case neck, as that is where the bullet's going. Because brass...

    Elfster. CHARGEMASTER. Optional. Pen. Straw. Mod. (with pics)

    This is great, thanks for posting!!!! It's also weird because last night i was giving my CM one more try before i sold it. I was thinking if i could make the tube smaller ID, it would line the kernels up closer to single file or double file, versus the mound that forms now even with the straw...

    Anybody used imr 4007 ssc?

    Can't help you with the 30-06 part as i use it in a 308 but it was recommended to me by Andrew McCourt. It is in between varget and h4350 in burn rate. Temp sensitivity seems to be pretty good in my testing, probably the same or a little better than PP 2000mr with about the same burn rate, a...

    Beam vs. Digital scales

    Beam vs. Digital scales Model and price for what? A&D is fx 300i and it's priceless lol! I used the webcam (cheap ebay no software needed version) and fscamview program on my laptop to show beam scale parallax free and huge for accuracy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Beam vs. Digital scales

    I started out with a stock beam scale, then went to a tuned m5 beam scale, auto trickler, webcam etc rig. Painful to set up every time (auto trickler was also difficult to keep consistent flowing) and i found that while the tuned scale was sensitive enough to see one kernel, it wasn't...

    F T/R Competition Magnetospeed First Impressions

    I have the V1 and am very pleased with it as well. My poi shits up ~1moa but groups don't change. One thing i do is that i wipe the barrel and pad on chrono with alky to get off any lube before attaching it. One time my shots were moving around and it was due to the chrono moving slightly after...

    Annealing. First batch. How does this look?

    I agree with High Binder 100%. I use the dark room method in a somewhat controlled process, so far so good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Heads up. A&B FX-120I for 400$.

    Ordered one, flipping sweet deal, thanks!!! I didn't want to spend the money but can't beat the price. My gempro (2nd one) was working great for the first few months, starting to act up quite a bit now. I plan to put this scale on the same surge protector i have been using but what line...

    Range Report My Range

    Amen to that, i would love to move out west! ScudMarket, groundhog'n is what got me into the LR thing, i like shooting them more than i like to bowhunt, and that's saying a lot. Finding a farmer to let me do that is just as hard as just shooting. I've even offered to pay to shoot ghogs...yea i...
