    Bullet choice strictly for 100 yards score matches.

    Exactly! Shooters overlook the importance of flags. I volunteer as an RSO at a local range and in 12 years I have only seen one shooter using flags. Look at ballistic tables and see what a 3 mph "breeze" can do to a group. Wonder why your load development groups aren't that great? Maybe it's...

    Concentricity guage

    Concentricity gauge I use the older Sinclair gauge. When checking concentricity of 22-250 cases I discovered that my Redding bushing sizing die induced runout (RO). It went from .0005" RO out of the gun to .004" -.005" RO after using the Redding die. After running the same cases thru a Forster...

    Benchrest accuracy with Lee Classic Turret Press?

    Thanks to all who offered their opinions. I'm going to set up my dies in a Dillon 550 press to see what kind of accuracy and concentricity I can get. If it works out I'm just going to use this press for my 22-250 varmint rounds. I'll be using Forster dies and might try the Lee collet die.

    Benchrest accuracy with Lee Classic Turret Press?

    I been looking at a few turret presses and really like the Redding T-7. But at $300 it seems a bit high. Looked closely at the Lee Classic Turret Press and was impressed with what I saw on You Tube videos. Was also impressed with the price. I like the cast iron base and the steel stands and...

    Lee Classic Turret Press for accuracy loading?

    I have numerous sizing and seating dies that I would like to have mounted on a press and they would not be removed once adjusted. I like the Redding T-7 press but not their high price. Buying additional turrets would makes this even more expensive. From all the reviews I've read this looks like...

    Request your opinion for a scope

    Have a 26" bbl AR used primarily for coyote and PD hunting. Max range probably 500-600 yds. I have narrowed my choice of a scope to the following: Nikon M-223 4-16x42 with BDC 600 reticle, OR Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 with Dead Hold BDC and 30mm tube. Would the extra power with the Vortex be...

    Are we starting to see a run on shooting supplies ?

    If he doesn't get re-elected, the time between the election and Jan 19, 2013 could be very dangerous. The most dangerous weapon of mass destruction to the US is obama.

    Anyone have their "old" PACT Digital dispenser upgraded?

    I have a PACT digital powder dispenser and scale that is about 8-10 yrs old. I guess you can send in those units to PACT to have it upgraded to the new high speed configuration for $75. Has anyone had this modification, and if so, was there an improvement? Thanks

    22-250 Free Bore

    I have a mid 80's Savage 110V in .22-250 that has the same problem. I wanted to shoot Sierra 52 gr Matchkings but there was hardly any contact area between the neck and the bullet when seated to within .005 of the rifling. I had to use the Sierra 53 gr Matchkings as this was a flat base bullet...

    "Ideal" barrel length for a .22-250

    Most gun makers use a 26" barrel length for their .22-250, some use 24". But what is the ideal barrel length? Has anyone done any experimentation to see if a 28" or 30" barrel would be a better choice to obtain higher bullet velocity? Thanks, John
