someone compared it to driving, and I can add to that... in the terms of sweet-spots or nodes in your barrel.
Let's just say that your tires are unbalanced and you are drive on a vibrating road (that goes up and down). The road would simulate the barrel of your gun and the car would simulate...
I haven't read the entire thread, but the digital camo now is a desert camo - it's more tan. There is a forest digital camo that contains darker greens and a few blacks and browns. It's much more suitable for American woods.
tips: if possible, stay downwind of the deer, but not by moving. They sense movement VERY well and spook easily; always make SLOW movements and be patient. If they have their tails up and wagging, sometimes they are on edge and ready to take off.
If the deer is moving too fast to shoot, say...
Not in my experience! Many old military bullets don't have data for them. If they're not published, my use for them would only be for plinking rounds that run much slower than anything published around that range just to be safe. You have to work up loads SLOWLY with an acceptable powder (this...
around 5,000 handloaded rounds through my 20 ga. youth Mossberg 500 and no signs of giving up at all. Handloads seem to kick more for me while still being safe. The 500 action is good to go for you. There's no way that you'll wear it out IMO!
looks like a 10/22 action that's actually machined by MRI. I don't know much about graphite barrels, but at only 4.25lbs, I wouldn't call it too overbuilt.
and $665... ouch for my budget.
IMO, the little lee c press is the best for pistol--you can load it from any direction because it's a C frame, and it's definitely strong enough for pistol. It's smooth and it gives you a much better feel than larger presses. And it's only $24!
VARGET or IMR 4895
It lights 100% of mine. I have the 142gr. M62's from Poly Gun Bag that cost $80 for 500. I've fired about 100 so far.
They're sold out at the moment: http://polygunbag.com/bullets.html
I believe vibratory tumblers would be easier on the tips because they move around VERY slowly, especially when they're full.
No guarantees though; I've never tumbled loaded lead points.
sounds like they aren't agreeing with your barrel. Have you tried working up loads?
For me, I test ALL of the powder rates from min to max charge at a certain OAL, then I take the most accurate group and write down the powder weight of that group.
After that, I use that powder weight and test...
My opinion: Plated can be just as accurate as FMJ or TMJ with the correct recipe.
However, the plated must be loaded slower and treated like lead bullets from my knowledge.
OH! and you can't crimp them nearly as much because they will deform slightly (the plating can be pushed up and the nose...
I'm for a remington 700 SPS Varmint. You can upgrade stocks and triggers and much more later.
Mine will shoot SUB-MOA and since i'm an amateur shooter, I'm pretty sure it outshoots me. Plus it's only $500some dollars. Then you can upgrade however you please.
I hate when that decapping pin goes into your finger to cause an insane amount of pain, but doesn't bleed. It takes 2x as long to heal when it doesn't bleed.
I'm absolutely no expert, but that weird case that you mentioned [I]looks[I] like it has soot on the case head. Either the primer lost its seal, or what I think is that the neck didn't seal in the chamber, causing the pressure to be directed around the case back to the bolt. The clean mark is...
it all depends on ballistics.
Once your bullet goes from super-sonic to sub-sonic, it destabilizes a bit, but can still travel accurately for a few hundred yards past that.
For a M.O.A. rifle, 1000 yards means a 10" group taking out wind and drop. When you add the inconsistencies of velocity...
Man! if I was a range owner that sold reloading supplies, I'd buy 10 cheap lee presses for $40 a piece and teach people how to reload. They would all enjoy it and get the actual hands on experience of the manual way of reloading, that way they can work up to progressive presses when they have...
