before you jump all over me let me explain
i have a doe tag this year for population control, theres deer friggin everywhere.
since i just bought my 223 i figured i might as well use it for something usefull
i plan on using the 60gr PT and keeping the shot within 100 yds, in reality itll...
so i gave in and bought a stevens 223, with a bushnell banner 4-12, cheap and great for what i want, complete setup ~375
as soon as i got it i trimmed the damn mold marks off the tupperware stock :roll:
then adjusted the trigger down as far as i was comfortable, closer to 3 pounds now then...
since this is my first time reloading i planned on going real slow to get to max anyways
once i got my gun back i realized i didnt resize the brass far enough, so i have to pull everything i had done and resize them again :roll: oh well, guess ill learn from my mistakes
finally got my gun back from the shop, so i went to load some rounds, and bad things happened
i checked the bullet to lands clearence and then checked the magazine length
its like ~.3" difference, if not more, 3 full turns on the seating adjuster in the die
for the AB to fit the magazine its...
thats good to hear that the 4831 will work great to
ive heard its better for temp variences and stuff, so i might load it up anyways
looks like ill be dropping some money at sportsmans wharehouse today or tomarrow
i need a chrony ($80)
a good rest (they have one of the H shapped sand bags for...
the worst part about that one was that when she dropped into the snow and started to spasm, her legs started kicking s oit spun in a circle 3 or 4 times, with no brains all of the blood was spraying out the head
left like a 10 foot circle of blood spray in the snow
i was like 14 and thaught it...
really old topic but i got a good one
was whitetail hunting with my dad and a buck jumped out abotu a hundred yard in front of us down the hill a little bit
my dad not wanting to ruin any meat shot it in the head, dropped like a rock
couldnt fnd a single hole, anywhere
get back to camp and...
thanks yall
as long as my gun gets dont at the shop on fri it looks like im gonna be spending all day at the range on saturday trying out the loads i have so far
how long should i wait before shots to let the barrel cool, itll be in the mid 70-80's when i go
besides primers having strange...
the 300 mag is a great all around rifle
ive used mine for about 4 years
my dads had his model 700 for 32 years, only gun he has ever used and it is a tack driver
and my grandpa has been using his 1963 model 70 since then (damn i want that gun)
none of us have ever had a problem with the...
damn thats alot of varience from just the primer
i need to get a chronagraph before i go shoot these
would just the basic Chrony F-1 be acceptable for checking out this load and various other unting type loads ill end up making for other people
ya, from what ive read on here i figured the primer might need to be changed, but thats what i had yesterday when i primed 50 brass to do test loads in
when is the next book scheduled to come out
a nice thing to have would be ballistics tables that covered the AB's better
they dont go high enough for the 200 grain .308 :roll:
hi yall, I’m a newbie here so i have a few questions :lol:
I’ve been shooting me 300 mag. for 4 years with 180 core-lockts hitting approx. 1 inch groups
well anyways, I’ve had some bad experiences with the capabilities of them
so I’ve decided to start reloading some better rounds
I’ve...
