I only really have 1 tip & it's as much shooting related as it is reloading. Actually, no. I have 2, but they're basically all rolled up together. This one will annoy & possibly anger some people, but I've never had it fail yet. When you look in any load data book, it'll show a 'min' & 'max' charge. Load your cases from min to max at 10% intervals. Only 1 of each. You're looking for pressure signs, not accuracy now. Now, shoot them 1 at a time, at any range. Hell, shoot them into the ground. But starting with the hottest. You shouldn't, but if you see any pressure signs with the hottest, grab one from the middle & then work up until you see pressure. Pick the load below pressure signs & load 30 of them. Also, learn to read real pressure signs. Extractors marks, ejector marks & bolt swipe at minimum. Primer flattening may, or may not be indicative of pressure. Don't rely on just that. Use that load to zero your scope & then shoot ALL the rest as a group. Everyone bases their accuracy from 3 or 5 round groups & that's not enough. I guarantee, pretty much every book load, from min to max, will shoot into roughly the same group size, given enough data points. 10 shots minimum, 30 is better. That 4th round 'flyer' is almost guaranteed to be part of the natural accuracy cone. You're just not shooting enough to notice. Here's a perfect example of why 3 & round groups don't tell the whole truth. If I'd stopped at 3, It'd be a sub .250 rifle ("all day, if i do my part" The group of 5 on the right would get me bragging that is a sub-MOA gun (ADIIDMP) In actual fact, when you combine the 2 & the 2 that most would call flyers (they weren't) is a 1½moa gun. And honestly, as hunting rifle go, that's pretty frikkin' stellar! There. That rattled a few feathers, didn't it?!

Anyone? Bushnell Elite 3200? Anything?

I'm looking for a not-fancy, low power, small objective scope. I'm thinking something along the lines of a Redfield Revolution or Burris Fullfield kinda thing. A step up from Bushnell & Tasco, without going to Nightforce. Absolutely no Vortex please.

Bump. One of these would be perfect! https://www.tnarmsco.com/store/tnarms-carbon-fiber/tnarms15-carbon-fiber-black/ (Please hold the comments saying "Well just buy that then!" There is a very good reason that I can't. I'm happy to PM the reason.)

I'm looking to build a non-gassed, uberlight AR on a budget. For no other reason than gits & shiggles. I'm looking for a polymer lower & side charging bolt, or someone who can modify one (right hand CH preferred) I'm not looking for quality, well used off-brand is perfectly fine

There are some fantastic builds, ideas & info here..... https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/ultralight-ultralight-rifles.329402/

Oh maaan, if ONLY you'd asked before I sold it. I mean, I'd still have laughed derisively, but at least it would've been relevant....

Bump.

Price drop to $400

Are we allowed these on pistols again, or is it SBR only? I can't keep up with the flip-flops.

Sorry, you spelled "The CIA" wrong.

Upsy-daisy

I'm looking to build a Gordon-esque type rifle. I have most of the bits, but I'm struggling to find a fixed handle upper with the rear sight assemble for non-comedy prices. Anyone have one lying around?

Bump

One time only, New Year, pick it up from my house, price-drop deal. $650

Bump.

Not a problem, i thought it was worth a punt! Happy New Year brother!

Ah crap. Feel like trading for my Tikka, plus a touch of boot?

Bump

Yeah, I know, but I can only drive 1 & this new F150......hoooo-WEE! It's quiet, smooth, comfy, economical & quicker'n a lunchtime stripper with a 5 bar shift.

Back up. Buyer backed out.

Oh you know.... just mooching around n stuff!
