    Need advice on dealing with unresponsive respected gun smith

    I ordered a barrel over a year ago (Feb 2012) and was told it would take 8 months. I checked in on it just after April 2013 when I hadn’t received any word or barrel and was told a virus got his computer with orders and made a mess of things. I provided a copy of my check he cashed and gave...

    Wish we could get this guy on prime time TV

    It would be great if I knew where to begin with getting someone on prime time TV like the Factor, however I also think it takes the "means" and I have verry little means these days. BTW: Wife just got her check and the Obama Taxes are applied so we are now less 250.00 +/- a month just so the...

    Wish we could get this guy on prime time TV

    Amidst the Noise is a very effective video presenting the facts on violent crime and firearms. It helps that the fellow presenting the truth is easily identified with by everyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooa98FHuaU0&feature=player_embedded

    Fire Mission: "We the People:To recognize the second amendment"

    I agree, and believe if we can get it to 100,000 signatures it will make a good statment. Need to get the word out on it.

    Question on barrel length

    I have seen some uppers in the 10.5" range and if I were to attach my 8” suppressor then would it still be SBR when attached to a lower in the eyes of the ATF?

    Digital Scale?

    I currently use the RCBS 10-10 in conjunction with the hornady LNL auto charge powder dispenser. I feel this gives me the assurance that the digital scale is dead on. It does throw a little light by .2/.1 grains and I typically take what it dispenses and dump that into the 10-10 scale to make...

    Velocity consistency question

    Thanks GLShooter, your distance between the lowest FPS and highest is much closer then mine. My groups are great (.31 to .19) I just want to get my FPS more normalized for work at 1000. I'll keep working with it.

    Velocity consistency question

    Something that keeps coming up in my mind is my methods for powder measure. At one point I found myself using four different scales to measure the same charge to see if all agreed on the amount. And yesterday I came across a thread about a lab quality scale that will measure the individual grain...

    Velocity consistency question

    Today it was about 10' and I try to keep it close to that. Near by shooters can cause it to err so I have to wait till they are taking a short break.

    Velocity consistency question

    Today upon recommendations of using better brass I bought some Norma and loaded 10 rounds with Berger 52 Grain and 10 rounds with Hornady 52 Grain AMAX all seated the same and all with exactly 25 grains of benchmark and all same CCI bench rest primers. The results of the Hornaday showed a FPS...

    Velocity consistency question

    Thats pretty interesting Don. Makes me want to know just where the difference is in manufacturing. I was looking at the head stamps of some BH "Blue Box" 223 and its LC like the other lake city I bought. Now the BH in the Gold Edition 300 I have is all stamped BH. GTS Dean, your not out of...

    Velocity consistency question

    Oh, thats something else I did not know. I was under instruction from a ex-Special Boats Service sniper and this is what he did to get an avg for generating a drop chart. Then we validated the chart. So in general, how many shots do you call enough to get your average?

    Thumbler's Tumbler Model B

    I have to agree with fremder, I too use this set up with stainless steel media and it is absolutely the best thing I have going. If you go this route using stainless steel media then I recommend using an old T-shirt to separate the media from the water.

    Velocity consistency question

    I didn't have any idea that the brass was going to make that much difference. I had figured that if I did good case prep that they should all be the same no matter the manufacturer because they would all then fit the specifications of size. I have weighed some of the Lake City brass and have...

    Velocity consistency question

    I did not think to weigh the items individually. So when I said everything is the same I basically said everything between each of the rounds was the same brand of primer and same brand of brass and same bullet and same propellant with same propellant charge. I can see how a bullet that had a...

    Velocity consistency question

    I did not think that would factor. The brass is new Lake City from midwayusa. What factors does this affect?

    Velocity consistency question

    Thank you Walkalong, and I do intend to shoot 1000 yard but not with the .223, I also purchased equipment for my AIAW 300 and plan to load AMAX 208 Gr with H1000, and am currently wondering how I should expect better consistency in the velocity when I don't seem to know why I'm not achieving it...

    Velocity consistency question

    Hey guys I have just begun reloading and so far have turned out about 30 rounds of 223 for a Remington model 700. As far as I can tell I have made sure everything was exactly the same for every round and I even weighed the power twice with two different scales a RCBS 1010 and a Hornady LNL...
