    Best targets for open sights?

    Working on that too. last time made an upside down T with dark duct tape and stuck an 1 1/2" orange circle at the intersection. Seem better than some targets Hold just below the circle/intersection. Better than a dot or a cross alone I think.

    Old Powder, Old reloads

    I'd still deprime them and then clean the brass. If not with a tumbler, go old school and rinse a few minutes in vinegar, then several rinses in water, then air dry. Consider annealing if the brass is very old or very used

    Old Powder, Old reloads

    Making the brass from 06 is doable, but you have to turn the necks since on 22-250 brass you are making the neck out of the brass body of the 06 and making the neck thick. That's one potential problem that would lead to high pressure, difficulty chambering and inconsistent performance. If a lot...
