At last the light comes on. A simple enough explanation. Thanks for the responses.

Ditto, Dobe66

What I am saying, Neuservrrat, is that no one has explained it to me in a way that supercedes my impression of how it should work. And my loads work just fine, thank you. Audacity has nothing to do with it.

the diameter of the comparator is a constant regardless of it's shape. Even if it were slightly larger or smaller than the diameter of the lands it would give you a measurement to compare (comparator) your eventual seating depth to. The type of seating die for the bullet is inconsequential to...

Here is where I am having trouble with the procedure. First, I know how the gauge works and what is happening inside the chamber. Next, the diameter of the comparator, allowing for a radius or no, and the inside diameter of the lands, allowing for taper or no, are constants as is the bullet...

I use a Hornady oal case gauge to measure different bullet types in my rifle and get different results. I would think that if the ogive of the bullet is stopping when it's diameter matches the lands diameter it shouldn't matter what bullet you measure with. The oal should be the same regardless...

Thanks for the input and links. Yeah, it's a swamp out there should you wander off the reload manual trail. I read some of the articles and had to stop when my eyes started to bleed from all the technical stuff. I was hoping for a simple "A" plus "B" equals "C" type of answer. Of course, no such...

I have been reloading for a while but just 45acp. Always used the same load as all I did was target shoot. Then I got into .308 rifle. I like experimenting with different load charges with the different bullet weights. I always stay within the recommended load listed in the manuals. I am...

Just noticed the advertising on the Ruger site regarding some of their hammer forged barrels with matte stainless steel finish. Now, do they mean that the barrel is stainless steel with a matte finish? Or is it a carbon steel with a plating of stainless steel in a matte finish? I'd call to get...

Will do. I was thinking different colored tape but that makes better sense. Thanks.

I called Burris about a way the intensity of the red dot could be adjusted on the unit as it is too bright for me. The solution was to put a small piece of black electrical tape over the electric eye ( a little dot in the front of the unit below the glass). This is the same as putting the...

Yeah, I have two of those aimpoints and they work just fine still today. Although they had about a 17 year vacation before being put back to work. No, the dot is plenty bright. I want to dim it down.

I recently purchased a Fastfire II to replace a 25+year old aimpoint. I like the fact that it is small and light. However, what I did not realize till I mounted the unit is the intensity of the dot is not adjustable manually. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

As all pistols are a little different, what I do when loading for my 45ACP Colt is take the barrel out. Place a loaded round in the chamber. If the base of the case sits higher than the hood of the barrel then your bullet is seated too far out and will jam the action when the bullet hits the...

If you aren't willing to use it, don't bring it. Know the local laws for such confrontations. One technique when confronting a bad guy and you have the armed drop on them, holler, yell, threaten to kill them, order them on the ground, make them think that if they don't do exactly as you say...

Is that "leopold" the chinese knockoffs? Or LeUpold made in Oregon??:neener:

Consider this just an opinion or observation and it's worth what you paid for it. Sometimes the "blurry" looking or "comet" effect you see when looking at a red dot scope is not the fault of the scope but of your own eye. Do you have an astigmatism? I do and when looking through my old...

Thanks for all the input guys. And yes, I was leaning towards a Leupold or maybe a Weaver. Some others are Burris or Nikon. Shooting around here in hunting mode is usually under 100 yds. but I like to target shoot and would like to at least get out beyond 200yds on a range. Then of course there...

I have been trying to do my research on scopes and have narrowed it down to a u.s.a. made scope in the mid price range. What I haven't figured out is some have AO's and some don't. At least not that I can tell from the pictures or comments. So my question is how do variable power scopes (3.5-10...

Those blokes have been herding sheep too long.
