  1. How much to back off in powder to try a new bullet (same gr weight)?

    Most folks I've shot with start off at least 10 thou off and see how they group in three shot groups. Then move 5 thou either in or out at a time and retest. Keep in mind, most .308's I've tested don't like the jam, while others have loved it. What I do in testing a new bullet, is to find the...

  2. This Just in From Oregon

    Carlsbad, What you say may well be true. But the liberal sickness had it's genesis here in CA and has spread, over time, to other places. Remember, the Tech Cos you mentioned, started here in Silicone Valley and have moved to other states because of the over-Taxation by the liberal Governors...

  3. 22LR ammo

    Also Champion Shooters Supply. Don't think its the same as Champion Choice. Alex

  4. This Just in From Oregon

    Looks like some of the rejects from my state (CA) moved north to screw up living and gun advocates rights there. Its their diseased minds. Simple solution....build a wall...against LIBERALS. Alex

  5. Proper hold off bench?

    I agree with what VaRandy has written. BUT the equipment muleman listed isn't the best available to get the best results out of his rifle. I shoot Benchrest which is the discipline I have been shooting for several years. And whatever "goal" you settle on for best accuracy, is ALSO dependent...

  6. .308 load suggestion

    If you are loading for a 1:10 twist barrel, I'd try either RE15, IMR4895, or Varget in the 41.8 - 42.2 Range. I like RE15 the best in my .308 with Varget being the dirtiest shooting powder of the three. And that's at 100 yds because anything over 300 yds will require a 175gr (or heavier)...

  7. Redding Competition Dies

    Great analysis Ron! With all your explanation in play, I've found I actually get better runout on a finished cartridge when all else Ron has done which also makes for a better/more consistent overall load in terms of prepping. Alex

  8. New brass

    Matt, I agree with most of what jepp2 suggests. But I fireform all my brass and DO NOT trim my brass UNTIL after fireforming because you'll likely have to TRIM again after the first firing of your brass. Of course measure the length of all new unfired brass to make sure you do not have a...

  9. What is service rifle competition?

    I had the pleasure of attending an NRA sanctioned competition a few years ago, to watch, not to shoot since I don't own a Service Rifle. I went with a friend who has three M1 rifles he uses to compete around the country. mostly on the west side of the country. And a couple of Marines from Camp...

  10. Dog or coyote track

    Maybe BIG FOOT? (LOL)

  11. How much would you pay for a good gun club membership?

    Clunker, Without knowing exactly where on the West Coast you are talking about, if it's Californicate, we have less than half the ranges available to shoot anymore compared to 10-20 yrs ago. So the problem for many of us is not a membership fee, its where a range is that can accommodate...

  12. Chargemaster scale wandering

    uncle buck, Just a suggestion/thought. I know you have your scale on an "Anti-Static Pad" but have you recently added anything within say 5 ft around your scale that emits an electronic signal of any sort. And that includes any "cycling" electric plug in device or any electrical device that...

  13. PLEASE READ Annual Message to Members -- Why Upgrades Are Important

    Boss, Just renewed for 2019. Lets keep this ship afloat as it's the best "Shooting, Weapons/Equipment and Reloading" info website I've seen in the last 10 yrs. Alex

  14. Peterson and Starline 260 neck thickness?

    6.5, New untouched Peterson .260 brass has .014 neck thickness and IMHO, excellent brass and has produced better result downrange in my .260 than Lapua. I do clean up all my brass meaning I turn my new brass to .012 to make sure I get the best concentricity when loading. My loaded neck...

  15. Selecting First Bullet

    Phil3, Like the others above have said, depends on what you are going to use the bullet for. Also remember, just because a specific bullet or load works in one rifle, doesn't mean it'll perform the same in another. Barrel make and twist rate do matter and that is coupled with the distance...

  16. measuring case neck thickness?

    Not meaning to hijack this thread, but in case anyone is interested, I have a relatively new Sinclair mic setup like the one Zombie Killer pictured. Used it once and put it away as I like the Mitutoyo Ball mic much more. So the almost new Sinclair is available to anyone who wants it...asking...

  17. Where Did All the 6mm 108 Berger's Go

    Pawnee Bill, Seems to me not as many of the 108;s are being made as before the merger/sale of Berger Bullets. Also, the big boys are getting ready for upcoming competitions in 2019 and usually buy in huge amounts (thousands) of the same lot. And I have a feeling those folks get a "HEADS...

  18. .308 not grouping

    Johnny, Sounds like a good build to me and the bullet (168bgr ELD) is a good bullet for that caliber rifle. Now back to a basic....what powder and how much are you using to test with? For 100 yds I use 42 grs of RE 15 to get right at half inch or less in two different .308's made by two...

  19. Adjustable ButtPlate - Useful for BenchRest?

    Phil, I've been shooting rifles most of my life (55 yrs+) without an adjustable cheek and butt plate. But I just bought an nice H & S stock with both adjustments and I have been shooting strictly Benchrest for the last 15 yrs. And what I've found, is that the adjustability factor allows me...

  20. FTR Bipods

    KeithF, Just saw your post. Have you looked at an Atlas A10? And as for pricing, you said it yourself, buy once cry once. Over the years, I've found that disregarding the pricing allows you more room for variability and finding what works best for your needs with your specific rig. I have...
