Wish I had bought one when I was younger but then for what I do the RCBS R2 does a good job for me.
One thing is sure is that you will get a proven performer if you decide on buying one.
My Dad used to shoot factory150gr WW Sliver Tips in his pre war M70 30-06 and when hunting heavy thicket areas he would switch up and use Rem 150-180gr core locs. For years I did the same in my 30-06s until I discovered the 165gr Hornaday SP flat base bullet. My 725 Rem had been rebarreled to...
Funny that this is happening to you since I use a lot of Tite group powder for loading 45acp and have never experienced what you're saying.
I load on Dillon reloading presses and though I see some static cling every now and then I have never had it melt my powder hopper.
Bullseye powder is the...
My main reason for having a 35 Whelen Ackley Improved built was to have something different with a little more punch but got a whole lot more of everything.
No rifle information I can only give you pistol information.
There's a reason that SK Pistol Standard plus, SK Pistol Match Special is always sold out and hard to get, It simply outperforms the more expensive ammo and you can't beat the price compared to Eley 10x and the other higher priced...
Thanks for the response Fotis.
My targets are at 25 and 50yds, 10- 21yds is cutting it pretty far to get an actual good muzzle velocity, isn't it? I'm just used to setting my Chrony up at 10ft from the muzzle and don't understand how the Garmin can give a reading for velocity at the...
If it doesn't read pistol velocities, it's of no use to me. I need muzzle velocities for my .45acp and .38 Super so I can create accurate loads and to keep the velocities low enough, so they don't lead my barrels.
Very interesting Fotis, I still have the little Chrony you sold me, and it is outperforming some of my friends more expensive equipment as long as I keep it in the shade during bright full sun days.
Thanks for selling it to me, I don't need all the fancy stuff just need to know how fast my ammo...
Maybe I should have made myself a little clearer. By eating I meant to imply that people who reload and get lead poison usually eat before washing their hands or shoot and eat without washing their hands. Lead is also ingested while shooting and breathing in the smoke from fired rounds while...
No i don't and I cast lead bullets for my practice ammo and unimportant matches.
I do wear a respirator when casting lead bullets.
After casting, reloading and extensive range time I do wash my hands with DE leading soap.
That stuff leaves your hands squeaky clean.
Most lead poison cases come...
Congrats and may you enjoy many more years.
My Wife and I have been enjoying 56yrs together, not all have been bliss, but we have worked or way through hard times and good times.
It takes 2 to make a long-term relationship and I made her my best friend from the beginning.
The Baker's though well-built and stable once set up could come off your feet until you modified the straps that held it on your feet
I still have mine but haven't used it forever.
I had a self-climbing stand slip off my feet 25' up and was left holding onto the climber handle.
That was a hard slide to the ground wearing only a camo Tee shirt many years ago. Not a lot of fun, I fixed the straps so they couldn't accidently slip off my boots.
Lesson learned the hard way.😠
Depends on what you're using it for. If you have a match chamber in the pistol it doesn't matter much if the OAL of the brass different from piece to piece. I want mine to be .89"-.90" and anything undergoes (.88") into the practice can anything under that goes into the recycle box. Pistol brass...
They were custom Ranger shooting glasses with removeable lenses, each lens for a different shooting application, red dot and open sights, ground to my prescription. All lenses were tinted a light Rose to counter UV rays.
I have gone several was as my eyes aged and now looking at cataract surgery and single distance vision and wear reading glasses when I need to see things close up.
At present I wear progressive lenses that worked fairly well for years but did have a doctor make up a pair of shooting glasses that...
I used to use nothing but Nosler brass only I bought their blemished bullets and brass except for their .45 JHP 185 gr bullets that I used in pistol matches.
Nosler had some growing pains several years ago and bought out a company to handle product distribution for SPS.
QC seemed to go...
