80 new pieces of weight sorted (95.1-95.2) 39@ 95.1g and 41@ 95.2g Lapua 223 brass. Asking $85 shipped.
100 new pieces of Lapua 300 Win Mag brass. 1 piece has been necked down to 7mm for measurements. It won't work for me without neck turning, which is why I'm selling it. Asking $170 shipped...
Took my 6 Creed out yesterday evening after scrubbing the barrel clean and put 5 more factory 108 ELDMs through it to track barrel speed up and accuracy. When I first got the rifle, I bought a box of factory Hornady Match 108 ELDMs as a controlled test. My plan was to shoot 5 shot groups from...
Dropped off my R700 223 at the smiths few days ago. Had an extra MBM beast 4 port and figured I'd throw it on there. Has just enough muzzle flip to prevent spotting your impacts at higher power unless you were holding the rifle tight.
The MBM beast 4 port brought it down to virtually nothing. I...
Took the R700 223 Wylde with 80.5g Bergers out again this evening. Shot 10 rounds at 1040 yards at the 20" plate. CB was just over the top, the next 9 is what you see. Wind was pretty light at 1-2mph and consistent, but every now and again it would pick up just a tad. 8 of the 10 went into...
I'll be picking one of these up in a month or two. My cousin is selling it to me for a price I can't refuse. No real use for it, but I have a couple ideas anyway...I already have 3 LR rifles that weigh 16-17#. A 223, 6 Creed, 7-300 Win mag. So my thought was to make this a lighter alternative to...
Wanted to find a spot to shoot 1K at the range just a couple miles from my house. Typically can only get out to 500. I played around with onx maps and line distance and came up with a spot that would allow 1040 or so. Time to load the 4Runner up with the gear and head down the road. I got to the...
Finally got a decent break from the heat and wind this morning so loaded up the 4Runner and took the wife's Kimber 7/08 with a freshly mounted Vari X III 6.5-20x Leupold and the new CVA 45-70 with a fresh DNZ mount and a Burris Fullfield E1 4-14x. Ammo for the 7/08 was handloaded 150g NBTs over...
It's been a while since I've shot, or done anything with the wife's Kimber lightweight 7/08. Bought this for her as an all around rifle for deer and elk about 8 years ago. Nathan added one of his 4 port brakes to tame the recoil from a 7# scoped rifle. At the time just to get her started I threw...
Went to the Bi-Mart this morning and wandered over to the sporting goods section for a bit. Came home with a nice little CVA Scout in 45-70. It has a 25" barrel with a brake. The wife asked what in the world do you need that for, elephants? I got a good laugh out of that. I've always liked the...
I was talking to my dad a couple weeks ago and he said he was thinking about selling his BAR 22. I said for what?! He says I want a 10/22...I said ok, I'll buy the BAR from you then. This was the rifle I learned to shoot with at 4 years old. I can still remember seeing the mud fly along side the...
Made it to the range this morning with the R700 223 Wylde, 28" Bartlein HV 8 twist. Loaded up 19 more rounds with the 80.5 Berger/24.5g N540 and did a 10 shot group at 100 and a 9 shot group at 300. By the time I got to 300, the last 4 or 5 shots the wind had picked up a bit and so did the...
I've got 100 virgin Lapua 300 Win Mag brass. I'd like to get $190 shipped.
I bought them to use in my 7-300, but they won't work without neck turning, and that's not something I'm looking to do or invest in right now.
1 case has been sized down to 7mm for measurements. After taking notes and...
Shot some 53g vmax over Benchmark and 73g ELDM over IMR8208XBR yesterday. Loaded the 53s to 2.260" and the 73s to 2.3" in ASC mags. These were the winners. Good enough for a gasser with Hornadys and throwing some loads together. Not going to mess much more with it. 1/2 MOA with an AR in my mind...
Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady...
Well I figured since I've had an Aero AR15 lower for almost 10 years sitting on my bench, I figured I'd get to building it. I put the LPK in it (minus the trigger) when I bought the lower and just been sitting ever since. I ordered a LaRue MBT trigger and LA Ruth MBA-1 Stock and bought a MagPul...
Got my bolt back from being bushed a few days ago and had to wait for these crazy 25-40mph winds to die down before I could get out and test a few more loads and see if that bushing helped any. Well, it definitely cured the cratering! Super happy with that as it was quite annoying. Also shot 5...
A buddy of mine wanted me to load 100 rounds up for his 300 Win Mag with new Nosler brass, 200g ABs and RL22, and in return he would give me 600 Fed 210 LR primers in trade. I gladly accepted as I'm down to my last 200 LR primers, and I've yet to find any locally the last couple years. Since I...
Went back to the local gun shop in hopes they still had some of that N540, well they did and I came back with all of it. Too hard to pass up at the price, and the 223 absolutely loves it with those 75g ELDMs. Oh yah, they had a few 500 count packs of those too, so I snagged two of them as well...
Brought out the CZ457/Bartlein combo today to just get some added trigger time in, cronograph, and shoot a few different types of SK match ammo. Had the Standard yellow box, Rifle Match red box, and the Long Range Match. Shot two, 5 shot groups of each at 50 yards. Also put 10 on the 2/3 plate...
