9mm Browning Hi Power 22 Colt Woodsman 22 Ruger Mk IV Competition 45 Smith & Wessons Model 457S 45 Kimber Team Match II 38 Super Kimber Stainless Target II 40 Sig Sauer P239 SAS 40 Sig Sauer P229 Equinox 41 Magnum S&W Classic Hunter Stainless Steel

My Sigs which are the P238 and the P229 in 40 cal are what I use for daily carry / home self defense. For those pistols I just use iron sights and the Crimson Trace laser grips. I can easily put the laser dot on any target quick and only downside is that its hard to see the laser dot on a bright...

Some of the pistols nowadays have those recessed slides for optics ready to install. That is cool.

Emailed Kimber asking some questions if my Kimbers can have those slides milled to adapt the optic sights and they said no because there is a safety mechanism under the rear sight and to use a aftermarket dovetail mount which I found some on the internet. I'll wait till tomorrow and contact them...

That is nice. It's cool to anneal your own brass. When I first started annealing, I was pretty scared to see whether I do it right or not that I spend a lot of time adjusting the flame and case height on the BenchSource to direct the flame at the junction of the shoulder and neck. I started with...

At our age, our eyesight is declining to focus clearly like when we all were young. I had a severe eye infection on my right eye when I used a pressure washer to clean my boat about 20 years ago, there was a stubborn dried up shrimp head on the deck and the high pressure ( 3600 psi ) blew it...

I have not tried any other powder in the 308 besides Varget and IMR 4064. It shoots well with Varget for me that I have never switched to any other powder, works great from 150 to 178 grains for me. I have yet to try the 180 Ballistic Tips, I'm sure I can make it shoot. ;)

Very nice. You got a keeper JD, you going to be cooking and cleaning while Sue brings home the bacon. 😁

Good find, seems those bullets are capable for hunting as well.

My Rem 700 300 Win Mag used to be a 7mm STW with the push feed magazine before I converted it. I would start by checking the maximum box length, and seat the 165 -180 grain bullets about .020" shorter and work a load from there. The Accubonds and Ballistic Tips can be seated long to get close to...

That is a good find, what do you plan to sew on your next project?

7mm Mag 7mm STW 300 Win Mag 338 Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor

Did the Kroil and JB remove it?

I used Hoppes, Butch Bore Shine, Wipe Out foam and some Sweets for many years before I settled with Bore Tech products, I currently use Eliminator for normal cleaning, Carbon Remover for tougher carbon and Copper Remover for copper. I don't really need to vigorously clean my bores unless...

Good to hear you a 308 / 6.5 Creed fan as well, I love my .308 GAP and 6.5 Creed. Don't miss out on the 6.5 x 284 as well, they are sweet. Easy to find killers loads for them too! I just need a 30-06 or the wildcats 06 in my arsenal and don't get me started yet. 😁

I'm in the same boat, my garage and mancave out in the back is a mess as well. Hot weather is coming, and I better get to it real soon.

I never had any issues finding blood trails with the 6.5 Creedmoor. I have used 120 grain Ballistic Tips, 143 ELD-X and the 147 ELDM, all deer dropped fast and a few have run off with double lung shots, and never went far. Blood trails were good, and I have used the 178 ELDM with my .308, and...

Welcome aboard. There are knowledgeable and experienced guys on the forum that are willing to help out with any questions you may have.

I love my GA Precision 308 Crusader, shoots like a dream. Currently using 178 ELD-M with 43.8 grains of Varget, a hair over 2750 fps. I was banging 8 inch steel at 800 yards, love hearing the ding a few seconds after the hit. The 178 ELDM is deadly on whitetails, never went far with pass...

I never liked the pilots making groove marks on the inside of the case necks either, nor cranking. I went with the Giraud and its fast and I can do a hundred cases in less than 15 minutes. A Sinlclair Wilson trimmer is nice where you do not need to use pilots.
