Get some G.I. issue ammo cans with good seals and put your ammo in them. I had one full of ammo sitting in the live well of my boat and some how hit the switch and filled the live well full of water. I realized what I had done, I grabbed the ammo can opened it and it was dry as bone inside. They...
Fair enough. It just seemed like a chest thumping response to worksalot , with no useful information to the original poster because you didn't know what his intended use for either one was. You are correct that the 50 Beowolf may not have any hunting utility in Indiana, the poster may intend to...
melensdad, I maybe wrong but the way I perceive your response to worksalot is a negative chest thumping my rifle is better than your rifle response. In reading the post it seems like worksalot was giving a straight forward answer to the original posters question. I have no idea what the original...
My favorite long range load for my 308 is 42.4 gr of IMR 4064 pushing the 175 Sierra MatchKing. I am using Win. match prepped brass and a Fed. 210M primer. Velocity runs 2680 fps out of a 23 1/2 Lilja 1 in 11 twist barrel. Extreme spreads run consistently under 15 fps. I have used that load for...
I always store mine bolt in. I wouldn't just throw them in a pile. If you decide to go the bolt out route. I would make sure I had each bolt in something that had the serial number of the rifle it went to on it.

kwatters, excellent post. I didn't know there was a difference in the anvil position on the CCI 41. I have been reloading for 41 years and didn't know that little piece of information. It is a good day when I learn something I didn't know. Thanks!

They are hotter than the Rem. 6 1/2 or the CCI 400 in my experience. The Federal 200 is another mild thin cupped primer that is prone to piercing when the pressure gets higher. The WSR is a good small rifle primer, and in my experience milder than the Rem. 7 1/2. I have just had more consistent...
You have been given good information. My AR loves Varget with the 69 gr. MK. My bolt gun prefers VV N140 or N540 with the same bullet. RL 15 works very well also. In my rifles it is just dirtier than the other powders. I use Rem. 7 1/2 primers in both rifles.

You will find the Rem. 7 1/2 has a thick cup. I would not use the Rem. 6 1/2 or CCI 400 in an AR-15 or any high pressure load even in a bolt gun. The CCI 41 was developed as a military from what I understand and have seen somewhere...
Regardless of her political voting record, the bottom line is, she is someones daughter, a wife and mother who is fighting for her life. It is my opinion that discussing her political track record is in very poor taste at this time. I also feel that the situation was handled very quickly and...
A shooting buddy of mine gave me 60 pieces of Prvi Partizan 6.5 Grendel brass. It appears to be once fired. Have any of the resident Grendel shooters reloaded this brand of brass? I use Lapua and Hornady in my Grendel, but thought if this stuff is worth reloading it would make good hunting...
I never touch the fore end of any rifle when I am shooting off the bench with a bipod, sandbags or a front rest. That includes rifles chambered in cartridges up to the 300 WSM shooting 210 gr. match bullets. Yes the bipod does come up off the bench, does it hurt my accuracy, not at all. I do put...
