i have been successful in reaching out to 1000 yards with ar. i put a 24" shilen barrel chambered in .223 wylde and used 80 Nosler and Yellow box bullets. Not hard to do at all. You can see the results at NTSA when I went with him to 5 pts tx to shoot at that range At 20 hits in a row on a...

how the pros do it Cheers, I don't want to muddy the waters with reference to another site. Email me and I will send reference for a 6 or 7 parts reloading reference that taught me a lot on reducing group size. Neck sizing is one part of the overall approach to precision reloading. +1 on...

another problem STI? this is the first I have read about another STI that would not run other than my own. Got mine today from the fifth (5) gunsmith to look at it and it did not run 25 rounds before a double feed. Within 75 rounds I have 11 failures to got into battery or failure to extract...

In that case you are a little locked into closer ranges. I have trouble getting 75 grain bullets to stablize out of the lower twists barrels. Lots of folks don't seem to have any issues, but they have not worked well for me. kreiger makes great barrels ( at least that are the reports from...

out past 400 yards Are you married to that one in 9 twist? With a faster twist and a heavier bullet you can get out well past 400 yards and give your friend with the 308 a run for his money.

I would suggest that you take state certification courses instead of the NRA courses. you can get some credentials, but you will learn more getting instructions of the requirements for your own and surrounding states. Tom givens' instructor course comes to mind as one of the best. Massay...

You are headed in the correct direction I had a few flattened primers till I made sure all the swage was removed from Military brass. Once you have the swaged removed and the pockets uniformed I think you will find your issues disappear. Strong was right on the correct solution. It has...

Aa2230 Consider this powder. It was designed for the .223, it pours like water out of a boot and for me produces the most accuracy at 10% under the max suggested loads. I have loaded 10K + rounds for my Ar's and probably 500 precision rounds for my bolt gun. My .02 LM

I stand corrected Thank you for pointing out the error in my post. LM

1050 Super The No BS warranty does not now for has it ever applicable to a 1050. I am going to guess that you two don't own a 1050. If you were happy with the repair that is great to hear. JM

Anyone have any experience in getting their Dillion refurbished? The price seems pretty reasonable ~ 15% of the cost of a new machine, but I have not seen this discussed before. So if you have sent a machine in to them let me know of your experience. JM

Thanks for all the feedback. What I will probably do is sell this rifle at a gun show with the understanding that it is a pos. I checked my inventory and I have 67 different firearms and this is the first time I have purchase one that did not work out of the box. I can see that we are divided...

So you just read I was unhappy with a gun. If the gun ran just fine, I would not try to get my bucks back. If the gun ran I would be happy. No harm, no foul. How about sharing where you store is? Just so you and I don't cross paths. I guess I did what the seller, wanted I parted with my...

I purchased a Colt Ar-15/22 thinking it would be the answer to have a dedicated .22 rifle. It is a POS. Lots of problems with it and I purchased a different brand which has not exhibited the same problems. Twice I have attempted to return it to the seller saying it was a POS and that I...

Original premise I think the original premise of this thread was a comment on how many reloads failed during the ISHOOT 1000 match. Correct me if I am wrong Double Naught Spy, but isn't one object of that match was to test the functionality of guns that don't fail with a session of 1000...

Seems to have taken a little different tone There is always lots of talk on these threads about how good "my gun" is, how well my "ammo" works or shoots, but it takes lots of time, money and ability to actually demonstrate or prove up such claims. To make claims of ability and quality using...

Wow- Only one way to prove it. Seems to me that we have as many reloaders whose ammo will shoot 1000 rounds as we have pistoleros who guns will shoot 1000 rounds without a problem. The Truth of the matter is ---few guns will go 1000 rounds without a problem based on results during the...

Anyone out there make your own jackets for 45 acp and 40 S&W. I am going to get started in this venture and was looking for formula on how to design the dies, I am reasonable sure that it will depend not only on the thickness of the material I start with for the jacket, but the style of...

Originally this match was a grudge match to determine which platform could go the distance of 1000 rounds without a problem. It was limited to glocks and 1911's. One problem that developed was that many folks (some who traveled a good deal) were out of the competition early due to problems...

This is a record of malfunctions for a 1000 round match held on 10/18/08 Each shooter who finished the course was presented with 1000 targets. The object was to get the greatest amount of hits, time was secondary and used only in the event of a tie Eric 715 hits 45 acp Wilson...
