    Thinking to retire my P-35 chronograph

    It looks neat. Does it come with the full foam so you can precut it to fit?

    Is there a Better Burn Chart?

    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...

    Thinking to retire my P-35 chronograph

    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.

    .22 Match with the Vudoo

    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...

    smoked nilgai jerky

    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 decap the primers prior to measuring headspace, some primers do protrude very little and affects the readings by a half thousand or so.

    With a 28 inch barrel you will still have 95.21%, it will only increase slightly.

    300 RUM 220GR bullet, US-869, OCOL 3.640

    What is your H20 case capacity and velocity / powder charge to determine a more accurate assessment? And your temp in your area.

    Yes, it helps to determine your headspace.

    Resizing question

    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...

    300 Win Mag / 200 Accubond test (after neck turning)

    Yes, donuts can form from this, but I was curious if it also causes the entire necks to get thicker where it needs shaving.

    300 Win Mag / 200 Accubond test (after neck turning)

    Is it true that after so many firings, let's say 10-12 firings, does the brass flow towards the shoulders / case necks?

    300 Win Mag / 200 Accubond test (after neck turning)

    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.

    300 Win Mag / 200 Accubond test (after neck turning)

    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...

    Oregon Roosevelt Bull

    Man, now I am thinking to switch from nilgai hunting to elk hunting. :) Never bagged an elk nor ever tasted elk. Nice pictures as usual Guy.

    .300 WSM 150 grain Corelokt Tipped

    That will work, its a first I have seen a polymer tip on a Core Lokt, if Remington would sell those bullets for the reloaders to try.
