    what bugs me about public ranges

    Again as a RO at a PUBLIC RANGE, if that's what bugs you then try going to a PUBLIC RANGE that is unattended by a RO and all the John Wick, Rambo, Urban Cowboys are roaming freely.. I personally know of a few of those.

    "Upgrades" to a Savage Axis (not an Axis II)

    This is what I am shooting now. It is a Savage model 11 that was purchased as a barreled action in 243 with the intention that it would be rebarreled into something else. I paid $125.00 for the barreled action. During the course of purchasing a stock and deciding on a new barrel I just happened...

    What the hell just happened with my Lee Drum?!

    I'm struggling to understand how this could possibly happen if the drum was fully seated. Even if the drum is out of position it will not line up to allow a straight drop thru. One or other of the drum cavities will be covered. Then I would think if the drum was not fitted fully seated it would...

    About as good as i can do i think

    I've used many of the RMR 69gr and I believe with a different powder and a little work you can get it to even tighter than that. Try a bottle of TAC.

    what bugs me about public ranges

    Agreed it is not just gun ranges that suffer these heathens. I also fish and Kayak on public waters and see the same miserable attitude. Discarded junk, half eaten food or drink containers, the streams and rivers are full of crap that belong in scrap yards. At our public range which I am now...

    What new rifles are most exciting to you this year? Or over the past year?

    Savage Switchback in 6mmARC with 22" light Varmint barrel, 20MOA rail and factory muzzle brake. Intrigued by what this cartridge can do in a bolt platform at higher pressures. 6mm PPC? 6mm BR Norma?

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Up late last night after wife went to bed. Started with a verification of max length for a Hornady 105gr 6mm bullet in my ARC bolt rifle. Then loaded up a three shot ladder in .3gr increments with AA2460 powder using Berger load data.. 23.9 to 26.3 though I actually stopped at 26.0.

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Took a couple hours and started clearing my bench and removing all my 223 gear, parts and pieces. Many trays of brass in varying stages. All to make room and make way for a new 6mm ARC chambering I am now undertaking. This is all designed to be used in a Bolt rifle for short range (100-300yds)...

    223 headstamp

    I had about 400pcs of once fired Hornady 223 brass that I was going to use for shooting in a target league. Had 100pcs that after the 3rd firing I threw away all 400pcs. as the third load my groups fell apart. Went back to my Norma brass and all was normal again. But that is just my first hand...

    223 headstamp

    That is a fact. Though in my case I work on the range and get to watch it be shot. Those that do not reload mostly gladly leave it for me.

    223 headstamp

    I too have unlimited access to all the brass I want. So I am selective and only pick up Norma and PMC for 223. Not going to waste my time removing primer crimps..

    6mmARC bolt rifle

    I would love to but the target I set up is a mess. I did as I normally do and made up a target with 3 rows of 5 1" stick ons. set 3.5" on centers. Should have just did individual targets for each powder. I did take a picture of the target between powders so I can make out which is which. I'll...

    6mmARC bolt rifle

    The rifle is my new Savage Switchback with 22" light varmint barrel. Shot at 200yds, bright sun, 50* and a steady 5-7mph head wind. Just finished shooting up 4 powder load OCW ladders using a 87gr Hornady VMAX. Powders for this were; BL-C2, TAC, Benchmark and A2460. All but the BL-C2 were...

    Limited Component Load Development

    Rear bag suggestions?

    At our local informal league one of the few requirements are that all shooting is to be done from a Front Bipod and a Rear bag. For the past two seasons now four of the top five scoring shooters have been using Armageddon Squishy Bags. I've just tried one and like it but still undecided on an...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Another approach. Take a fired empty case and try and chamber it with the barrel out of the gun. Then size that case and repeat. If the empty sized case chambers and drops out then load that case into a dummy round and try again.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Here is what you do. Make a couple dummy rounds with no primer and no powder. Use A Win. or Federal case and just keep seating the bullet deeper until it will drop into the barrel chamber all the way and drop out when you turn it upside down. Then do the same thing with a R-P case. I say this...
