I'm just looking for a sanity check here. If a couple folks do the same as I did with their scales and get similar results, then I'll know it's a reasonable result.

But that agrees with what the US Mint says: https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coins-and-medals/circulating-coins/coin-specifications The pic you showed says a dime weighs 2.27 grams (actually 2.268, per the Mint). And then there are plenty of things like this: "All U.S. dimes minted since 1965...

So, I've been using an RCBS Chargemaster for several years now, without any apparent issue. However, it was fairly well-used when I got it, and I've had a concern about it dying unexpectedly on me. So, I've kind of been casually keeping an eye on the FA Intellidropper as a possible second unit...

My buddy has used the Nosler 240 and the XTP 300 to take several deer with his 44 mag Henry lever. They both worked well.

So, what would be the difference between the padauk and the flamed Osage?

Does the wood type make a difference in the tone, or is it just for appearance?

FYI, this thread is 15 years old. I figure he got his load worked out by now, lol.

Not that I'm a big-time turkey hunter, but I have yet to see the need for anything more than 3" shells. Every single one that I've fired has resulted in a dead bird, I think the count stands at 6 so far. I hunt a wooded area, so not trying to take 60-yard shots into a field. Our season here in...

I have my Marlin XS7 243 in a Boyd's Prairie Hunter stock. Drop-in fit, all I did was a little sanding in the barrel channel to make sure it wasn't touching anywhere. I've seen a few other rifles in their stocks, as well. Seem to be well made, just a little heavy for the laminates.

Jim, just curious. What distance did you shoot those targets? What is acceptable accuracy for you? Don't have any answers, just wondering what your goals were here.

Very cool!!

I guess that's why I've never run into this problem. I always use a 1-piece base and standard rings.

Wow. I've never run into a situation that called for specific rings for a specific model. I usually just use a Weaver or Picatinny base and then the appropriate height rings for the scope. I don't usually go cheap-cheap, but usually a Weaver 4-screw ring (or something similar, like Warne) works...

Forgive my ignorance here. But what is it about cheap rings that doesn't let you bore sight? Are they just too tall, and you can't adjust the scope to compensate? Being too tall isn't a function of being cheap, you could have expensive rings that are too tall. I'm trying to understand what...

Years ago, I got the idea to do some load development for my SKS. That never came to fruition, but in cleaning out some stuff in the garage today I found a bag of some new, factory primed Winchester brass that I had bought. I'd have to open the bag to count, but I'm guessing it's a bag of 100...

I have this constant dilemma: I like to buy and try new rifles, but then I regret that the other ones don't get enough attention when it's time to hunt. Only so many days and critters to hunt, and it's never enough. Something to look forward to doing after I retire, I suppose. This year, I'm...

I'm not sure I understand the issue here. There is nothing wrong with using the Lee rifle dies, with the expander/decapper rod left in place. The original problem is that the brass was sized without using an expander ball. You were sizing the outside of the neck, but not the inside of the neck...

Same here. I'm also using the Chargemaster 1500.

Chuck Norris just blows on the case mouth and they pop right out.
