I wasn't worried much about load development with these loads as they are simply cast plinking loads. If safety isn't much of a concern, I'd rather just burn them up.

Would y'all recommend pulling the bullets in the loads that may be charged up to 7.6 grains? Or should I shoot them and watch for pressure?

Back when I was very limited on what powders I could find at my LGS. I foolishly bought a pound of 800-x to satisfy my need for a powder that useable in 9mm, .44mag, and .45 acp. During my last reloading session I was loading up some cast 215 grain lrn pills for .45 acp. I set my measure to drop...

chicharrones, where did you find 6-40 screws?

Thanks for the pictures fellas! That's exactly what I want to do. Gameover, I love the idea of stepping it up a notch with the caliber conversion. I have been contemplating the same thing but using a .338 federal barrel.

chicharrones you have done exactly what I want! Could you post a picture? Thank you so much

Jmr40 Thanks for your reply I have never had a scope fail either. I just simply like the looks of irons and I also like to take my scope off occasionally to shoot with irons. I don't like the look of the xs rail, so that's why I wanted a rear sight in the traditional position on the barrel...

* Join Date: February 26, 2014 Posts: 11 custom ruger gsr I'm getting a stainless 18" Ruger Gunsite Scout. I plan on removing the rail conventionally mounting a scope (prostaff 2.5-10×40) via ruger rings. I'm still wanting back up sights. I don't want a forward mounted optic and I...

Also I'm wanting whatever action I get to be Ceracoated to match the matte finish stainless barrel.

Thank yall for the replies. A new cz action is 599 from brownells, kinda pricy so I will definitely be looking for a used rifle. My plan is a crf action with a 22" fluted stainless barrel bedded into a boyds stock. A zastava 98 action, cz 550, or interarms mark x action is what I'm looking for...

Getting components together for a .35 whelen build. Definitely going with that cartridge. Unsure on what action to use. Do not want a rem 700 or any other push feeds. I'm thinking about using a cz 550 action from brownells. Any thoughts?

The lee 160s I've tried are round nosed and they catch in the chamber throat. In order to avoid this I have to seat the bullet so deep that they delay in hitting the feed ramps and they hit the too of the barrel estension and jam. The weapon I'm using is a smith and Wesson m&p15. According to...

Osage, the cheap fmjs you speak of are what I've seen. I've been shopping around looking for some around 12 cents a piece. If you know of a place that sells them cheap, please send a link. I'm wanting to essentially have three loads for my .300. A cheap cast plinking load, a fmj general...

Anybody using cast bullets in their .300 blackout? I've tried lee 160gr 1r slugs with no success. I just bought a lee 155gr 2r made for the 7.62x39. I plan to size these down to .309. If anyone has any suggestions/comments, I'm all ears. Oh and on a side question, where is the...

Thank you. I'm thinking my stock is closer to foliage green. But the stock seems to have the effects of a sun baked plastic car bumper. Maybe some armor all would make it look better. I just want to grip, hand guard, and stock to match. And I want them to be somewhat green. I'm planning on my...
