    More load testing today, have questions (308win)

    Re: More load testing today, have questions (308win) http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/reloading/o-rings-on-dies-may-reduce-run-out/ makes sense to me. Allows the die to rock a little, similar to the co-ax press and not move the brass away from the direction in which it was...

    More load testing today, have questions (308win)

    Re: More load testing today, have questions (308win) thanks for the responses. yes, i have a problem, but admitting it is the first step! i've got a redding bushing die and the way it works makes sense to me....size the brass a thou or so under what you want then let the precision ground...

    More load testing today, have questions (308win)

    I have been doing a ton of load testing for over a year now but today was the first time using my Magnetospeed chrono vs the cheap Chrony I had been using. First impression of the unit is I really dig it, awesome....for all the known reasons; ease of set-up, use and data collection. I also am...

    Omega Electric Powder Trickle ??

    Re: Omega Electric Powder Trickle ?? I have never used a CM so no experience with that but here is my 1.5 cents on the auto-trickler. Customer service is excellent! I spoke with him before and after I ordered it as I had a unit that was bad out of the box. He shipped me a replacement that...

    F T/R Competition 'Flex' bipod

    Re: 'Flex' bipod thanks for the pics and great review. so weird as i have bounced around a bit between bipods and thought of making my own, similar in concept to that based off of some conclusions i have come to regarding my own shooting form...although his is definitely much more refined and...

    F T/R Competition Got winded at Butner 12/2/12

    Re: Got winded at Butner 12/2/12 Thanks for the response and the suggestions. I was actually really hoping I could find a puller for hire as I wanted to spend more time at the line studying the wind and other shooters. I was/am willing to pay for a puller for sure, just don't know how to go...

    Do you still need varget?

    Re: Do you still need varget? Yes, I e-mailed ADI, they said they are still shipping it on time/as normal to Hodgdon...no worries. As mentioned, not selling their best seller would be completely ridiculous. Place a BO and you will get it much sooner than you think. I got my shipment of...

    Where the Varget at

    Re: Where the Varget at As mentioned, best bet is to get on backorder somewhere for Varget. I actually had an 8lb'er in my cart along with the primers I finally decided on and some other goodies, (all in stock) a week or so before the world ended but felt guilty as I had not done my...

    What Alliant powder is close to H4895

    Re: What Alliant powder is close to H4895 think most people are finding ar-comp to be about the same burn rate as h4895 versus what is advertised. more temp stable too

    F T/R Competition A slightly different barrel cleaning question

    Re: A slightly different barrel cleaning question Well thanks for all of the responses guys and for the info. To clarify, I don't think the barrel shoots any worse dirty, it may be more of the loose nut behind the trigger getting back into the groove after 2-20rounds or so, making it seem...

    F T/R Competition A slightly different barrel cleaning question

    Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! So my gun does shoot just as good, if not better with more rounds down the tube (Criterion 30" SS). Usually I clean when I get home, whether that's 20 rounds or 200, but not because it needs cleaning, but because I don't know how long it will be before I...

    Anyone tried 208 AMAX's with CFE 223 or 2000 MR?

    Re: Anyone tried 208 AMAX's with CFE 223 or 2000 MR? Edit, this group was thru a Criterion 1:10 barrel and the fps were a little less than the 2770 I got with the stock barrel, more accurate too.

    Re: Got winded at Butner 12/2/12 Wow! That's some great shooting! Pass the congrats on for me. I have a 13mo son, I can only hope that one day he will be out there with me...good healthy time together for sure. The second relay I felt like I was catching the switches and sort of staying on...

    F T/R Competition Got winded at Butner 12/2/12

    Re: Got winded at Butner 12/2/12 XTR, lol yes there was a lot of praying going on that string for me...mostly wild guestimating. gstaylorg, very good point! Some of the other shooters mentioned that so I will for sure try it next time out, makes more sense. Honestly the main thing on my...

    F T/R Competition 200 berger hybrid for F-TR

    Re: 200 berger hybrid for F-TR I thought I found an excellent load with 2000MR, great velocity but it all went out the window when the ambient temps went up. I can load for that, but what I can't control as much is chambering a round just prior to shooting, then having to wait a min or so...
