    Chronograph accuracy

    In working up loads for a 222 Remington the third trip to the range higher velocities started showing up. The Caldwell chrony was set up as near to level and aligned straight between muzzle and the target as this old geezer could make it. One of the loads is plenty accurate for prairie dogs, but...

    Display settings

    Until a few weeks ago, the forum display was consistently easy to view on my phone. Something changed, and presently there are only a couple of forums presented that way. Most are displayed in a desk top format, which is really unhandy for viewing on this phone. I searched the faq, user control...

    Any experience with this outfit?

    best defense armory and range They sell reloading supplies online. I used Google foo and they seem legit. However, providing credit card numbers to an obscure vendor isn't something to dive into for me. Any opinions are welcome. And yes, they have Winchester number 41 primers in stock. :D

    Do you use the hash marks on scope Reticle

    I have recently purchased scopes that have Hash marks on the reticle. These "additions" are essentially useless because on the units I have they are only valid at the highest power magnification. As well, there are no obvious indicators of the true center of the cross hairs, except on a Burris...
