      I need waterproof storage.

      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...

      How do powders get their numbers?

      Supposedly H322 was given the name because it worked so well in his 222 Rem. benchrest rifle. PaPa 260

      .50 beowolf / 6.5 Grendal

      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...

      .50 beowolf / 6.5 Grendal

      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...

      Odd place to see some 308 load data

      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...

      Bolts in or out for storage?

      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. PaPa 260

      Primers for the .223

      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! PaPa 260

      Primers for the .223

      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...

      Reloading .223

      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. PaPa 260

      Primers for the .223

      Check out this link for primer thickness. Primers And Pressure 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...

      Arizona

      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...

      6.5 Grendel Brass

      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...

      Do you hold down the forearm of your rifle when you shoot off a bench?

      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...

      Crosley today, not so good

      It sounds like the Crosley range has really changed since I shot there in the late 60's and early 70's. Seldom did I ever see anyone there. They had a 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 yard targets. The only one with a berm was the 100 yard target. That berm was shared with the 200 yard bench. I never saw...

      Best reloading manual???

      338 has it right. The Sierra manual is the best out there and the guys on the tech line are top notch. They man the tech line till 8:00 PM central time. You can also go their website and get the email address and email questions to them. They respond promptly with quality answers. PaPa 260

      E.R. Shaw Barrels

      I suppose you can call me a barrel snob, if I am building a rifle, I will use either Krieger or Lilja. I feel they are the best of their respective rifling techniques. Having said that, I do have a 6.5 Grendel with a 20" E.R. Shaw barrel on it. I wanted a Grendel and all the custom builders had...

      indiana dangerous hunts

      Roger the cougar hangouts, very cunning, dangerous species indeed. Often times found in not so seedy bars and suburbia as well. When captured, they are seldom successfully domesticated. Now the cougar alert has been covered, in the woods the only thing I worry about is other people. And then...

      6.5 Grendel Stinks

      Besides the other options listed, J&T Distributing offers a 6.5 Grendel. So there are other options available. I bought one of J&T Distributing uppers because they had one in stock and I didn't want to wait for months for one. It has a 20" CM E.R. Shaw barrel with a 1 in 9 twist. It shoots very...
