Burn rate charts are just a guide. I don't rely on it, but use common sense and check multiple reloading manuals and powder selections in Quickload on a given caliber. Example #133 on the burn rate chart is H4350, and its a single base powder and temp stable compared to #134 which is RL 17 which...
Garmin Xero was awesome, setup was fast, responded on each shot with the .22 and I forgot to save the session, oh well. I just need to look for a case for it.
Had a .22 match today, used Lapua Center X ammunition . Rifle is the Vudoo equipped with the ATACR 5.5-25 . Range was 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards in 10 o clock 5-7 mph wind. 18 of us were shooting different sizes of steel plates from big to the tiniest plate that everyone will frown on, because...
Went to Bass Pro Shop to shop, found some Hi Mountain jerky seasonings, and grabbed the sampler pack of 5 different seasonings. When I got home, I defrosted a nilgai round roast, and a few days later I deboned the meat and used a jerky cutting board that has 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch slice sizes...

I gave up neck sizing long ago, learned from experience when I had a .308 back in the 90's, used a neck sizing Redding die. The bolt would close fine the first few firings, then it would gall the lugs and requires a full size to bring the shoulder back down to specs. I use a full length non...
You are right, I am confident on leaving my current brass alone, but in the future when opening a new box of Nosler brass, if it still measures .002" clearance I may want to shave .0005"- .001" to make it .003" - .004" clearance before the first firing.
Got the coffee and broke out the half box of virgin Lapua brass for the 300 Mag, felt like neck turning the remaining before I disassemble the turner to store them. It's already adjusted from the previous neck turn, so why not. ;) Not sure if I should shave .001" off the Creedmoor and the 6.5...
