    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sights for an FNX 45

    guys limited on pistol sight knowledge and googles not helping much. i have a voice vortex viper on my FNX 45 that I had milled out out and now looking to add suppressor height sights. Im not looking for tritium sights; normal irons or fiber optics would suffice and be cheaper. Dawson...

    Question about Hornady bullets.

    You're gonna have to play in your rifle. I always recommend starting 20 thousandths off the lands or 5 thousandths off max mag length, whichever is more feasible

    Unburned IMR 4451 in barrel throat

    Take out the piece of debris and see if it is actually a kernel of powder. Do a flame test on it to see if it's energetic (burns like a kernel or burns like something else). What primer and brass are you using? Whats your barrel length? IF you have had your rifle in field conditions have...

    Why Does Velocity Drop The Shorter You Seat The Bullet?

    There's more to it than case pressure. There's also pressure in the chamber wall sealing from the case neck. then there's pressure when the bullet hits the lands and seals the bore. There's always let offs and pressure build up going on from different actions. At this point it's only an...

    Cost savings of reloading

    One thing for sure: a reloading class or mentor. many people think you can get by by asking questions on forums like snipershide. All it does is just create confusion really and many times bad judgement calls because opinions aren't tailored to the OP. If anything, follow one persons...

    Cost savings of reloading

    Eddie, here's another way to look at it. 100 rounds of 6.5 Hornady match ammo = 130 dollars + shipping on midway. Let's just call it 140. 100 eld 140gr = $34 1# of H4350 = $30 (forget hazmat) 100 primers = $4 100 cases: let's say you saved up your once fired from match ammo. So Now after...

    Cost savings of reloading

    Reloading can definitely save money when you're shooting wildcats , uncommon cartridges, or magnums. Its also required when you're shooting at ELR or trying to achieve better consistency vs match Ammo for a 308 or 6.5 you can get by with factory match as it's priced well. It's really your...

    Is sd a true sign of accuracy?

    I don't know why this thread turned into a pissing contest. You load to your discipline. if you're a 300yd BR shooter and your tightest group turns or to be bad ES/SD then you keep that. If youre shooting for distance where youre approaching the transonic zone then you you need to aim for...

    Is sd a true sign of accuracy?

    That's one thing I don't like about the wez calculations. Not saying that you're regurgitating it but it gives many the wrong sense of conclusion. Youre still hitting a 90+% rate at 1000 yards given certain parameters. And unless the gun is on a rail, no one is ever able to say with certainty...

    Is sd a true sign of accuracy?

    It's a sign of consistency (accuracy is different) small groups at close range with a high SD doesn't mean squat at long range. standard deviation is basically how consistent your FPS is shot to shot. Albiet, it also depends who you're talking to and what caliber / size target you're...

    Loose primer pockets. Problem?

    I invested in a primer pocket tightening tool and it's been awesome. Keep using brass until I get case head failure signs from many firings on hot loads. Kept the same brass for 3 barrels on a 260 and just chucked 2 out of the 300 I have because a slight ring started to show

    Can't Get Standard Deviation Out Of The 20's

    One thing about reloading is that EVERYONES procedure is unique. For example, saying "interesting, my friend doesn't anneal but his SD is still low" doesn't mean it will/won't work for you. What if if he doesn't anneal but he uses an expander ball/mandrel to uniform his necks somewhat but you...
