Acquired a suppressor within the last few months. This suppressor shot great when I first received it, and still does very well with standard velocity rounds in 308 Win. However, its performance with subsonic rounds has deteriorated in a strange way. When I first received the suppressor, the...

I was reading another thread where the above statements were made. The thread went a bit sour, so I opted not to post there. Projectile weight doesn't determine how well a bullet performs at long range...it is the ballistic coefficient (BC) of the bullet. I realize that weight and bullet...

Saw them for sale on one of the internet sites for less than $25 per thousand...are they good quality? Jasper

I have been thinking about buying several thousand of these bullets for general plinking purposes since they are relatively cheap. My question is...does the open boat tail of the bullet expose the lead core to the heat of the burning powder and change the dynamics of the bullet's center of...

Six or eight months ago I purchased some Lake City once-fired brass. I am finally getting around to processing them. Tonite I was trimming some of the pieces and noted that a couple of them were annealed. The head stamp on these two pieces said LC 07 LR while the rest said LC 07 with the...

I recently purchased a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50mm scope. Great scope...near perfect tracking around a 20MOA box, clear glass, etc.; except, after zeroing the scope at 100 yards I found I only had about 25 MOA upward elevation adjustment with a 20 MOA base...and that won't get me out to 1000...

Tell me, is it true that if I FL size .308 Win cases that have been reloaded 5 or 6 times, should I get a little more velocity than with just neck sizing? That is, because I am sizing the body of the casing, does that bring the interior volume down a smidge and provide 20 or so fps more...

I was out on the www and noted that PVI and Wideners have Federal Gold Medal Match Large Rifle primers for sale at $30 per 1000. Does that seem like a really good price? I seem to remember that not long ago, maybe a few weeks ago, they were upwards of $40 per 1000 and higher on some internet...

Do any of you folks who have been doing this for more than a few decades have any methods of tumbling and cleaning brass without an electric tumbler? Given ample supplies of reloading components, electricity isn't needed to reload except for tumbling brass...how was this done before electricity?

I have read various threads that mention this topic, but I wanted to resurrect it in a new thread to see specifically what powder chargers we believe are best and how much we trust in their accuracy...and to what extent do you believe their variations impact the accuracy of your rounds out past...

http://www.polygunbag.com/.30CalSabotLargerView.html Well, has anyone tried this with their .308 Win yet?

I used my Lee neck collet die for the first time today, and had sized about 10 cases...really liked it, until I pushed too hard on the press, and pushed all the inside pieces up about a quarter inch and stripped the top threads. Yes, I know, you must ask, "How could one do that?" Yes, I...

Today, I was shooting in a 500 yd F-Class match. My first sighter shot on a 10 inch metal plate was about 4 inches at 6 o'clock. My scope was adjusted 7.5 MOA up to compensate for a 300 yard zero. About 7 or 8 shots into the string of 20, I dropped the elevation adjustment down 1 click to...

The Central Alabama Gun Club in Shorter, AL will host its final F-Class competition of 2011 on 8 October. There will be an F-Target Rifle match in the morning and an F-Open Rifle match in the afternoon. The link to the CAGC web page is: http://www.centralalabamagunclub.com/ For...

I have read and been told that match grade primers are significantly better and will improve consistency. But given all the variables involved in a day of shooting, how does one really empirically document/see the difference. Suppose I shoot one day with STD primers and score very well...

I have searched THR and found no definitive and coherent information in one good post about barrel twist rate and bullet size. I have a Rem 700 .308 Win with 11.25 twist rate and 24 inch barrel. The rifle shoots very nicely (out to 500 yards or so is as far as I have been able to shoot) with...

A few days ago I decided to get some Hornady Amax 178 grain projectiles in .308 Win. I loaded them up according to the Lyman manual and noted that the COAL according to Lyman is 2.780. I noticed this to be true also of the all the bullets greater than 175 grains, except the Sierra 180...it...

Recently, the threads on the spindle of my RCBS FL resizing die became stripped so I emailed RCBS and asked if they would honor their warranty even though I didn't have the original purchase receipt. The tech rep simply asked what caliber, and 3 days later, I received not only a brand new...

Today I met my Dad at the range to zero in a new scope on his .243 Win. Dad brought a long time friend with him who was shooting a newly acquired 1970s Remington semi-auto in 30-06 cal. I think it was a Rem 7400. After shooting about a dozen rounds through the 30-06, I was looking at the...

Has anyone had any experience/problems using mil surp reloading components? I recently purchased some reclaimed mil surp powder from M118LR rounds, supposedly equivalent to the Reloder 15 canister grade I normally reload. The fellow who sold it to me said it shoots the same as Reloder 15, and...
