Any way other than with an erosion gauge?
I bought a used m1a from a friend who I trust takes care of his guns.
My problem is that after about 500 rounds through it, I have come to the conclusion that it is a 4-5moa gun at best. I have tried factory Federal gold medal match, hand loads...
I am getting a SA M14 with a synthetic stock. The stock is in matte black. I want to do a duracoat camo job on the stock, scope mount, rings and possibly the barrel (part of the question)
I have zero artistic talent. I think I suck artistry out of the room when I walk in.
Is a duracoat...
I am having some issues with the RCBS trimmate. I have found that I am having to use my hand held chamfer and debur tool to properly prep my cases. The debur tool that comes with the trimmate is useless, though I did see a thread where someone attached the handheld debur to the machine one...
Ok, I received my Sierra 5th edition manual from midway today. I have worked up a load for my .308 rifle that is I have found is the most accurate in my rifle.
Sierra MK 168gr hpbt
43.8gr Rel 15
Lapua brass
CCI BR LR primers
I worked this load up over about 6 months of trying...
Well, I thought I would share if anyone else thought this might be a fun idea.
The range I go to has alot of skeet and sporting clays ranges, and I can easily pick up 100 or so undamaged clays when the range is clear.
I have wanted to figure out a way to use them for 200 and 300 yard...
There is an enormous thread below with people arguing the pros and cons of ammunition storage. I have a different question:
Does the ability to reload change your numbers?
I have found it somewhat easier to stock up on reloading supplies than live ammunition. That is not saying stocking...
I was wondering if there is a table or list somewhere that has the drill bit sizes needed for specific calibers to make loading blocks. The proper depth would be a bonus :)
I searched out a thread on here that mentioned the correct size for .308 and that family, but was wondering if there...
Well, after about 3 months of reloading experience, I finally got my load and bullet combination worked up to a good point for me and just had to post :)
Tikka T3 Tactical .308
IMR 4064 43gr Sierra 168gr HPBT
CCI BR primer
Wind gusting to ~20mph but otherwise a beautiful day today...
Ok, I started loading up some 80gr Sierra MK HPBT along with several other bullet weights to see which shot best in my 1-7" AR.
When I got to the 80gr The hodgdon manual lists the COL at 2.55" but the Spier manual says max COL is 2.25".
The cartridge at 2.55" will not even fit in the...
I saw someones thread about working up a .308 load, but I am trying to work up an optimal .223 load for my AR.
It is a 1 - 7" twist 16" barrel
I had it zeroed to about 1.5MOA at 100 yards with Fiochi 55gr factory loads.
I then made 2 sets of 50 loads with Winchester 55gr FMJ bullets...
Ok,
Shot my first 38 special reloads this past weekend.
The cases were once fired Blazer brass.
Rem SP 1 1/2 primers
4.7 gr Universal under a Bery 125 FP bullet.
Very light load it turns out, wouldn't even knock down the steel targets, almost no recoil. No pressure signs...
New reloader here,
Have resized a bunch of 308win brass on my RC single stage press, no issues. Went shooting today with my 223 and brought the brass home and decided to try my new 223 RCBS die. First 50 rounds zero issues other than some minor linear scratches at the bottom of the case which...
