    Here's a tip that might be of some value to those starting out in the LD game.

    At a match yesterday, I made a stupid rookie mistake that cost me 12 points: 12-15 mph winds yesterday, lots of shooters. I was spotting and scoring the shooter on the second, long distance stage. The MD came up as we finished up the shooter and told me "You're up, get it done." I got my...

    Zeroing a 7.62/308 Battle Rifle

    Tomorrow I will help a friend set up his SCAR H and thought it apropos to ask the question: How do you prefer to set up your zero on a similar battle rifle? <EDIT> Assume NATO 147 ammunition use. 25/350yards, 50/250 yards, or just 100 yards? I just zeroed my FAL at 100 knowing that I would...

    Is a SCAR 17 really worth the asking price?

    They all seem to be selling for $2500 plus. Are they really that good or just the phan-boi toy of the month? Thanks,

    Primer Change: Are Wolf Primers hotter than CCI?

    I ran a test run with Wolf primers today in my 308. I was shocked to see the average velocity at 100 fps higher than I get with the same load using CCI LR primers. ES and SD were very similar when comparing the two runs. Temp was a bit cooler today, but not much. Are wolf hotter primers...

    Norma 308 Brass

    I bought 100 rounds of Norma 308 a good while back, primarily for the brass, but I enjoyed shooting it as well. Today, I though I would load the brass for an upcoming match. I started priming with Wolf LR primers, WTF??!! The primers will barely seat using a Lee hand primer. Fought...

    CTS Trimmers

    Guys: I bought these in 308 and 223 versions to speed up my processing. I cannot seem to trim to the length I want. I have talked to Jim both on the phone and via email and he has been very helpful, but still I struggle. EX. I set the 308 cutter to length using a case that measures 2.0045"...

    The best flashlight I never heard of

    I was SOing a match this weekend for a friend down in the Alabama Styx. Walked into the clubhouse for lunch and the M.D. called my name. Seems I had won a flashlight in the drawing. I pocketed it and said thanks and didn't think any more about it. Later, I was sitting on my can at a...

    CFE pistol

    Well, this is the only pistol powder I have found in the last six months. It came in today. Hodgdon lists 7.4 grains as starting @ 1042fps for my 200Gr LSWC. 8.2 Gr @ 1142 for the upper limit. I don't need that velocity so I am going to start at 5Gr and run to 7Gr in 0.5 increments. it...

    CFE Pistol

    In my never ending quest for ANY powder to load pistol, I scored some of the above. The factory data shows the starting load to be >1000fps which is way faster than I need to push a 200 Gr LSWC. Anyone have any experience working up 45 ACP loads with this stuff? I just want to make power with...

    Consistency, Precision, and Tolerances

    We are all taught that consistency is the key when reloading precision rifle. My question is what tolerances are acceptable to you with respect to tolerances you see on your bench? Let's play based upon a 308 Win load, which most of us are familiar with. 175 grain projectile, primer and...

    Moses on a moped: ROUGH Bore!

    I have a little Mossberg MVP that is a play/excuse rifle. Had it for a short while and I have shot maybe 150 rounds thru it. Went out yesterday to run an OCW with some new plinking bullets and it shot very poorly. Slung bullets all over the paper. This morning I decided that I need to...

    Charge reduction for Jammed Seating Testing
