as a "civie" I hate the sniper word... & don't want anything I'm doing to be associated with "sniping" I'm looking for a better version of a shooters log than what I've started for each of my rifles... yup... I'm cheap, & started with 3" X 5" spiral wound notebooks... now that I've had...

so I'm not a huge fan of Weaver bases on my bolt action rifles, but am looking at getting one of the new Mossberg MVP Varmint rifles in .308... I'm not seeing a conventional one piece base like I like in my bigger bore rifles... the gun comes with Weaver bases installed... on the couple short...

I'm still sighting in some of my rifles, that I changed out scopes on over the winter... MRS was out of town Sunday, so I took advantage of the day, between rain showers, & took a couple rifles out to at least get them on paper at 100 yards... I started at 50 yards, got them sighted, & then...

brass & primers as good as their premium ammo ??? I've been trying for a while to get more 17 Fireball cases... unfortunately they are really only made by Remington ( so far ) & getting empty cases are tough... in fact I've seen once fired cases sell for the same price I can buy bulk pack boxes...

so... I have an old Lee hand prime tool I inherited from my FIL... & I love it... but alas, it's starting to get too worn out... I've seen less stellar reviews of the new Lee hand prime tools, & I load a lot of different calibers, & have a pretty big investment into the special Lee shell...

So... I built a custom 6.8 SPC Remington bolt action rifle... I have a Contender Carbine also in this caliber... like the 45 ACP, these cases are mixed between both primer sizes... in the case of the 6.8, seems like the manufacturers are about half & half... so... since I'm wanting only one...

was talking to my buddy the other day, he has one of those take down 10-22's, & was commenting that he had a hard time using the iron sights ( which IMO, are pretty poor on that gun ) I mentioned I had a set of Tech Sights on my 10-22, that I put on there, specifically for Apple Seed shoots... I...

so... I'm going through all my brass, now that some of the shortage is behind us ( this time ) & in doing so, I hit my 30-30 cases... I noticed that when MRS dad died, I didn't find any 30 Herret cases or ammo, even though I had a barrel & dies... I was assuming I must have just looked at the...

any thoughts on more obsolite cartridges... so 1st & foremost I'm a reloader... & for quite a few different calibers... some calibers, for like 7 X 57 Prvi make pretty cheap loaded ammo in brass cases & boxer primed... finding new brass is pretty tough... I'd like to accumulate about 500 cases...

so I've been wet tumbling for a little over a year now, literally 5000 or more cases... normally my water is "dirty" colored... I'm in the process of prepping 500 newer Remington headstamp once fired cases in 223... & the water has been coming out green ( which I assume is copper ??? ) I'm using...

buddy picked up a bunch of old reloading stuff a while back, 2 items included a pair of like new lead hardness testers... the pair turned out to be Saeco testers... he asked if I could find instructions on the www. which I did... he told me to print 2 copies, & when I took it over there, he gave...

yep... I'm one of "those" guys :o always looking for a better group... so it seems like I perpetually sit there with 500-1000 empty cases because I don't want to load up too many, if I could find a more accurate load... so... my intentions this year, is to come up with a "realistic"...

as my quest for one of the last spaces on the wall for a bolt rifle goes forward, I ran across the MVP Varmint in .308... I'm really liking the looks of it, bench rest laminate stock, medium heavy 24" barrel... curious if these are shooting like a winner, or just "look" like one???

any help??? I've tried Sarco, & Numeric, at least basic searches there, as well as Gun Broker, & E-Bay... any other thoughts ???

got a call from a buddy the other day, that works at a local scrap place that I haul scrap to regularly... seems someones estate just brought in a big box of rifle actions & gun parts, a 55 gallon drum of brass cases, & a 30 gallon drum of new bullets... no complete guns, & no loaded ammo, but...

well looks more like bacon bits :) still loving my wet tumbling with the stainless pins... however I don't love all the corn cob media I keep finding in my pins afterward... last night I tumbled 500 - 30 carbine brass I bought used ( actually really nice ) that was ready to load, but I wanted...

even better if it takes GI magazines ???

we've probably all seen it... those antique lead bullets that are all white with lead oxide... was thinking the other day, as I shoot a lot of those old guns that take that kind of ammo... Aluminum Oxide is very abrasive... how does Lead Oxide fair on the abrasive scale ??? if you are going to...

so I'm working on loads for my 17 Fireball, & on the internet I found a recipe for it using 8208 XBR... highest velocity, & lowest pressure... seemed pretty interesting... one of the local shops had a full shelf of it, so I bought a bottle... it must be a new powder, as I've yet to find printed...

I just bought my 1st... A Burris C4- wind reticle 4.5 - 14 scope... you go to their site, & enter in "a lot" of info, including humidity, elevation, etc. they expect to have you "right on" through a wide range of distances & wind speeds... any of you with experience... how close can I expect...
