    Military surplus 8208

    Hello, Black jug 8208 acc122910 is not 8208. This powder was never in U.S. inventory as a powder, or loaded round. What I could find out through the Army Ammunition Activity (worked across the hall from them for a few years), is they had to run it against NATO database in Germany and found out...

    Question on who is responsible for getting a gun to the buyer

    Here is another option.....if you agree upon a price of the gun without shipping. Then have the seller give you his address, dimensions and weight of the package. Go to UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc website and purchase the shipping and insurance yourself and email or mail it to the seller. The...

    A couple of questions for rail gun shooters

    If it is a good rail, Dwight told me to pay attention to the torque of the block. If I remember right, start at 40 inch pounds and go up to 80 inch pounds is 5 inch pound increments. You'll find where your block likes to be torqued....really made a difference and is generally repeatable between...

    Lapua 220 brass

    Check your cases.....if they are concave or convex at the base...they will cause problems. concave - will cause primer pockets to loosen rapidly. convex - will cause them to tighten rapidly. I have ran across many more that were convex vs. concave but have had batches of both....very...

    Velocity spread in handloads

    Corn, I don't think your very far off for your gun. Here is some things to check and ponder. 1. Save rounds from a previous batch and check them the same time you check the new batch. Extreme spreads and deviations will change from day to day, especially in a AR. I bet you find they are closer...

    Where can I buy some replacement "bags"?

    That is a Fudd top. I had a bad bag and called him. He no longer has the fabric or bags but he told me what he used and where to buy it so I ordered a yard of it. If you need some, send me your address and I'll cut you some off and mail it to you....no cost. I recommend making the bottom bag a...

    Loading Trailer Photos/Suggestions

    Are you going to be sleeping in the trailer at shoots? If so, there is a very good way of setting it up. In my trailer (it's a V-nose), I have the loading table built in the V with cabinets above it. Bolted the loading/range box to it. Have measurer stands and presses mounted. Underneath it. I...

    Are Machinists Skills Necessary?

    I would have to disagree. Looking at the HOF, most do not or did not do their own machine work prior to getting into the HOF, nor did they have tunnels, etc. I could go as far as saying it could be a distraction that takes away from practice. Just my thoughts on it. But all these guys have a...

    Rifles And How they Slide In The Bags.........Strange

    I have shot in about any weather imaginable and had every combination of slick and stuck rifles. Only when I got inconsistent release, was there ever a problem. If the front won't release consistently without left/right slop....tighten it down...or if the rear bag is stickier than the...
