    .308 opinions wanted

    Savage barrel change Another way to think about the Savage line. If you look on Midway you will find barrel kits for the savage rifles. If you get one in 308, and by the way having shot several, they are extremely accurate, you can buy a barrel kit and change the caliber for less than 200...

    Getting a Lee Turret, what else do I need?

    The listed supplies above covers the press. In addition you will NEED a powder scale, either digital or beam, and a set of calipers. Really frustrating to find out that you did not seat the bullet deep enough and now it won't fit in the clip. Nice to have a tumbler and a case trimmer but should...

    Will Lee Auto-Disk Riser work in Hornady or RCBS dies?

    Don't know if Hornady 0r RCBS dies will work with the lee powder riser. What's wrong with lee dies for the 45acp. I know the riser works with them. I reload 45 and have used the lee dies for years. They work great. I bought a powder thru expander die at Christmas and have loaded several thousand...

    Hornady LNL AP vs Hornady Progressive?

    Thanks guys, I will look at the serial number this weekend but you know, I looked right at the ad telling me about the free bullets and it did not register until you guys brought it to my attention. Why would I buy a used press when I know that I shoot about three or 4 hundred rounds a month...

    Hornady LNL AP vs Hornady Progressive?

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the two. Or is there a difference. i have a chance to purchase a used progressive for about 150 and I noticed that Midway has the AP new for 365. Am I better off spending the bucks for the AP or would I even notice the difference between the two? Thanks...

    Mini-14 accuracy

    For Mini 14 accuracy check out Accustrut.com. I bought a coupla these for my minis. If you visit the forums over at Perfect Union you can read about the strut. Advertised to cut group size in half. It did better than that for me. about an inch and a half from a 184 series mini and 2 inches from...

    Load for a bolt action 30-06

    try going to handloads.com. You will find powder and bullet combinations for every caliber you shoot. Personally in the 06, I shoot 49gr. of Varget with a 168gr Hornady Vmax. Groups under .5MOA. One of the thousand yard shooters uses 50gr. Varget. Check the manuals before loading any suggested...

    Lee Classic Turret And Uniflow

    Thanks, Dave for the information. I have been to midway and they do have the case activator in the catalog but is on backorder at this time. Now that I know what I am looking for, it should be a snap to set this up. And Creekwalker, I have the Lee Autoriser mounted on my Lee Auto Disk. It would...

    Lee Classic Turret And Uniflow

    I love my Lee Classic Turret and it works great on pistol. The Auto disk powder measure will not dump enough powder however to load large rifles. I tried mounting an RCBS Uniflow on the turret but it will not pass the safety prime. Does anyone know of a device that will raise the uniflow up...

    Howa rifles and barreled actions

    Go to legacysports.com I believe that is Howa's website. That should list the calibers available. Howa, in addition to making guns for weatherby also made a series for Smith and Wesson. I have personally seen one shoot .5 inch groups with custom reloads. About 1.5 to two inches with factory ammo.

    Accu-strut Mini 14

    Range results on Mini 14 with Accustrut So, here's the deal. I have a 181 and a 184 mini. Both of them shot 4 to 4.5 inch groups at a hundred. Not acceptable in my book. I really like the mini, rugged, easy to handle, low maintanence. But shoots like a shotgun. Never know where the bullet is...

    Another dumb .308 question

    Buy a Lee Crimp die. Follow the instructions and away you go. As for the why and wherefore, If you do not crimp your bullets in a semi, the recoil will continually pound on the bullets in the magazine until they actually are pushed back into the case. Opps. First time you take a loaded magazine...

    Accu-strut Mini 14

    I am a member of perfectunion's forum group as well as several others. I have been looking for anything that would improve the accuracy of the Mini. I own several and the accuracy has been terrible. Recently, one of the vendors over at Perfect Union has begun marketing a barrel stabilizer that...

    What is my friend's "mystery rifle"? - pics

    I guess I'm one of the old geezers here. I worked in a gunshop back in the early 70's and we sold a bunch of those Garcia Bronco's. I seem to remember about 40 bucks apiece. I remember they had a real spongy trigger and sad sights, but they were reliable. They were the competitor of the AR-7.

    How is Palestine TX?

    Every town in Texas over 5,000 pop. seems to have a Walmart. Palestine is over 20K I think. They even have what they would like to call a mall. Penny's and three or 4 other stores connected. Out toward Crockett. I think Ball 3006 is up toward the Davy Crocket Forest. And he is right, there are a...

    How is Palestine TX?

    Grew up in Tyler about 40 miles north of Palestine. Palestine lies between the East Texas Piney Woods and the Post Oak Belt. A little of both. Red clay country. Like northern Louisiana. Hunting is about the same. Trinity river is close and Lake Palestine is about 15 miles north. Good fishing...

    So fricken crazy spitting upset about gun laws!

    I think posting on the Anti-gun forums is an excellent idea. The choir doesn't need our message but the opposition does. Can we feel free to discuss this opportunity with the other forums, like Perfect Union or AR15.com. There are a lot more forums for us than them. Maybe we can get them to see...

    Info on Accuracy systems Inc for Mini 14

    ARS. in South Carolina is pleasant and professional. I know nothing about the new mini target that ruger has out. I have heard others say that accuracy is phenominal but no one will say what that equates to. I personally can attest that ARS can make you a gun that will absolutely shoot sub moa...

    Info on Accuracy systems Inc for Mini 14

    Having had a day to think about it. I really do like the mini and own several. I really do like the AR and own several as well. So without prejudice here is a statement to think about. ARS will charge you around 1000 to really trick out that mini. Now, if I had an extra 1,000 just laying around...
