luck Resto Guy. It was incredible luck that we were flying in pairs and the leadship did not get hit, was able to get the mg nest that got us and was able to land nearby and get me and the rest of us to a field hospital I was watching them cut my clothes off and then cut me open...

R-25 reloading Thanks again CC. I did really well at the range today. The gun shots pretty well and my loads were light-on the safe side. I will bump them up next weekend. Yes, I think slower powders are best...more so as you get into longer barrels and closer to pressure limits. I necked down...

Thank you CC. I use H4064 in my M21/M14 and in my 06 Garand and in my AR10 and it shoots lights out in all of them and is very kind to the operating rods in the older guns. I am going right out to load up some 107 smk's with H4198 and H322. Take it to the range where I work, tomorrow. Will let...

gun wounds Twice shrapnel wounded in Viet Nam, then got hit with ten rounds from 7.62x54 Russian squad machine gun. lost lung, kidney, most of intestines, part of arm and a leg wound. I was very, very lucky. Spent years in intensive care and many operations. I am very glad to be alive, but very...

Hi folks, does anyone have any experience loading the Remington Ar clone, the R-25, in .243 Win. I would like to know specifically about loads and coal for 107 gr. SMK;s, 105 gr. Nosler Custom Comps and any other long heavy bullets. Can I seat them to magazine length without the bullets being...

869 Thanks Smitty? (Do you go by Smitty?) No wonder it does so well in my 32" Kreiger. I am going to concentrate on that and see what kind of accuracy I can get. So far, looking mainly for velocity, it has shot fairly well. What kind of barrels do you believe are the most...

6.5x.300/7mm RUM Thanks NCSmitty for the advice. I know throat erosion will be rapid and I will be backing off just enough to get out of dangerous pressure range. I am finding that I can get a bit over 3500fps with 142 SMK's with 8700-8690- 5010 and maybe 50BMG without any discernible...

6.5x.300 RUM Hi folks. I have built and worked up loads for various wildcats out of .300 and .338 RUMs. I am currently working on loads for a 6.5 x .300 RUM. I discovered after I had started that one can save some effort by starting out with 7mm RUMs. I started out with the slowest possible...

I have a new Rem. 700 SS 5-R Milspec in .308 and am looking for two different but related items: 1- What are the most accurate loads for this rifle using these bullets; a) 155 gr Sierra Matchking Palma match b) 168 gr SMK c) 175 gr SMK d) 190 gr SMK 2- What is...

ammo, etc. Gun Control is using both hands and putting all rounds in the X ring. MMCSRFT is sorta right about too many calibers being difficult to keep track of, especially all the data and materials for reloading, however when the Fit hits the Shan the more weapons and calibers one has...

M1-A's, etc. I appreciate your help in your quick reply. Thanks. Just what I need. I do indeed love my M1-A's. That is the weapon I trained on at Ft. Lewis, for Basic and Ft. Polk for AIT. I remember being amazed how easy it was to knock over those pop-up targets on the range out to...

Thanks and a few more ?s The warm welcome is greatly appreciated RugerOldArmy, USSR, MTMilitiaman, and Brian. You are right about my tongue being stuck in my cheek. But it is only meant as lighthearted fun. I agree completely with reloading not being an area related to courage or...

ps Me again. I forgot to mention that I do shoot weekly to 500 and monthly beyond that. We have IBRSA shooters practicing at our range every week and putting on matches several times a season. They put out and share windflags with me. Ditto for High Power shooters and our CMP matches...

6.5 X .300 load s Thanks for the replies RugerOldArmy and USSR. I did as much as I could. I looked at 7mm RUM, 7mm STW, 7mm Weath, 6.5 STW and 6.5 x .300 Weath. I have and use H1000, H50BMG, Retumbo, 870, 869, AA8700, and RE-22 and 25. I started with 8700 at 15% (?cowardly?) reduced...

intro Hi good people. I have many weapons and would like many more. I reload for most all of them. My main interest is in highly accurate, but practical, long range rifle shooting. For those things I currently use 5.56 and 22-250 and 7.62 at moderate ranges, 7mm mag and...
