Hey JJ, moving it further away does no good, unfortunately. Thanks for tip on the c-more. I can’t really see the size of the window on the pix. I’ll see if I can find one some way else because it looks like the frame around the glass is kinda “thick”. I’m trying to get as much of the...

Gents, I have a unique situation I am trying to work thru. I've been shooting for many years. I've been shooting TSA (two gun) for about 5+ years. I have permanently lost the vision in my "strong eye" and am now having to shoot left handed with my Tavor. My issue is, I'm finding using a...

Hey gents, thank you so much for the help! We had our TSA match Sunday and I checked out a buddy’s Burris RT 6 ( I think it is). I thought it worked pretty well for me so I started looking around. I ended up purchasing a Vortex strike eagle 1-6x24 Tactical Scope With Leupold Mark 4 Mount. I...

Thanks gents. I will start with your recommendations. I think I have seen some “adjustable” scopes.(????) but not sure. Sorry for the inexperience. I’m learning. Thanks again.

Hey Gents, I'm looking to get a new optic, and I have a little different circumstance - I'm a right hander but lost vision in my right eye and have to shoot as a Lefty now. Besides it obviously making everything more difficult, one of the worst seems to be target acquisition as I am not as...

Very good point, Iron. Bad thing is, I have SOOOO many dang gone hobbies, and a business to run, I'm not sure what that "boredom thing" is that you speak of. :) LOL That is why I am looking to somehow save time. But, I will say, I do enjoy reloading and especially fine tuning a round for a...

Thank you!!! I appreciate all the help! I will look into a swager. I'm already in deep so I it's either that or sell the dies and trimmer. I guess I figured it was going to take more time, which ever way I went but, I guess it's a fact of dealing with .223's. I will keep the dies and maybe make...

I have been reloading some .223's for competition shooting. (T.S.A.) It seems some of the brass with the (for lack of a better term) 4 point crimp is shaving off little slivers when I press the primer into the case. (I'm using a Dillon 550). The tiny finger nail shaped shaving then get between...

Hey, THANKS!! I was not aware. I'll try that!! I appreciate the help.

Good stuff guys. Thanks Bart. Commercial shoots OK. Certainly could be better and why I was trying to find a good round/recipe. It may be such a thing as there won't be much difference but, I figure if I am going to spend the time reloading, I want to do my due diligence and load the best round...

Good stuff guys. I will fit in with the pif crowd as well. (I have been told I do it too much.) I will sort and figure out what I have and post on the sites suggested. Thanks for steering me! Chaz

Just curious if anyone ever swaps brass? I sometimes get brass I don't reload and would like to just swap/trade it as opposed to............whatever. I don't have much other than what I reload but...just curious.

100 yards max for competition. I guess, from what expressed, I may not be able to gain a "great deal" from building the most accurate round I can but, I would like to be able to know that it is me that is the weak link and not my gear or ammo. And altho I'm not a "competitive person", per se, I...

Thanks again gents. I'll start "at the other end". :) :) BTW, it is a 1:7 twist. I'll go with heavier bullets when I shoot these up. Great info!! Thanks you!!

You guys are awesome. Thank you very much. I will keep on researching and testing, using your suggestions. I do love running this gun. There are several benefits for it in competition but we all tend to like what we know. And the mag changing is lighting quick when you get the hang of it. I...
