I have a 1:8 twist with a Wylde chamber and have had great success with the 69 and 80grn SMK using RL15. The 80's can't be loaded to magazine length but work great out to 600 yrds if you single load. The 69's make it to 600 fine but anything over a 2 MPH wind makes it tough. I tried Varget but...

You have a lot of options in that price range. Check out cameralandny.com they have demo sales sometimes. I bought a ziess conquest 6.5x20x50 a couple months ago for 549.00. I would recommend leupold, vortex or ziess. I've had a few nikons but for me they don't seem as sharp. As far as the...

Thanks for the info. I'll be on the lookout for those.

Yes I'm very happy with my Savage. It's amazing the kind of accuracy you can get out of a inexpensive stock rifle these days. It really likes Eley club (have shot numerous sub moa 5 shot groups at 100 yrds) but haven't been able to find any lately. What's suprising is that it shoots the CCI as...

Shot this yesterday. All out of match ammo so I had to shoot this with CCI AR Tactical. 50 yrds. Savage mark II, Mueller APT scope 14x, shot off the trunk of my car using bipod and towel for rear.(forgot the sandbags). I was fairly pleased with this considering the ammo I was using. 85 deg...

I found a few of these a few months ago. Out of curiosity I loaded them up with some with normal size flash holes and then chronoed them at the same time. I did see a slight increase in velocity with the larger flash hole. About 25 fps. This was with a mild load (172PF) so I can't say what might...

1/4 teaspoon Lemi Shine, 2 tablespoons Dawn per gallon of water. Too little Lemi shine won't get as much shine, too much and brass comes out shiny but darker colored.

I think it must have been the Lemi Shine. It looked like this when I opened the tumbler. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to shoot it up so I can clean it again. Poor me. :) (wonder if it will stay this color?)

Could this damage or weakened the brass?

Can using too much Lemi Shine cause cases to come out a darker color. I cleaned a batch today and I put in (spilled) about twice as much Lemi Shine as usual. I've attached a pic of one that I did today (on the left) with one that I used the normal amout of Lemi Shine (on the right). As far...

I've seen many different brands with small primers, most common are Blazer and Federal, but today I found one that that surprised me. The headstamp was "Winchester +P". I guess that should answer the question about whether they work as well as large primers.

On Jan 4th I ordered a 223 case gauge, 550 tool head, powder die and a carbide 223 die set. Got everything except the die set on Jan 10th. I called dillon that day about the dies and they told me I should get them in 3-4 weeks. Has now been 6 weeks and still nothing. Guess they didn't know...

I have shot many times at MCTS. They have great matches. Very organized and always fun. I also shoot at Mid TN shooters in Manchester. Same thing. I shoot at Manchester more because it's closer. You won't be disappointed by either.

I've had several P220's. They are great shooting guns. I found a used one about 2 years ago for $600. It was also about 10 yrs old but in like new condition. Standard P220 with no rail. I sold it about sold it about 6 months ago for $650. From what I've seen in my area if it's in great...
