Re: Better powder dispenser

Neither way is wrong, or un-safe, so to each his own definitely! Unless there is a specific issue(static problem, etc), you can't just "check the weight" of your volume dispensed. Because of the variability in burning rate/density, the same volume will always weight somewhat differently. T...

Re: Better powder dispenser

I'm using the LEE one that came with my kit. It is acturate about 80% ot the time. With a larger load it would not be a big deal, but with my 204, that .1 grain makes a big difference. I don't really trust it too much to do any bulk reloading, I'm finding myself loadfing .2 grain low and topping up...

Re: Thompson Preditor in 204, enyone ?

That's my question, Not sure where he works, but I assume he is talking about the Dimension, NOT the Venture.... Which is what the thread is about :P

Re: Thompson Preditor in 204, enyone ?

Ended-up not buying it. Trigger was fine in stock form; not great, not terrible.
Just decided to spend my money on components and upgrades to what I had.

Re: Barrel twist for 39 gr Blitz King

My 12-twist Savage shot them alright. My barrel was really particular. SOME 40gr it would shoot, some not.

Re: Best scope?

Opinions please- what is the best varmint scope for about $1k? Best scope made period, money is no object. So money is no object, or $1,000??? Really depends upon the distance. For 500 yards and less. I'm happy with a 10-ish power. Othwerwise I end-up fiddling with the zoom, and not shooting. Leupo...

Re: cfe-223 powder

Glad to hear you like it! A friend fooled around with it in the non-canister version, SMP-842 and liked it also.

Darkker that looks like an excellent price, how were you able to get it so cheap? http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/default.aspx Several local's do bid-ness with Davidson's. Griggs Dept. Store is my go to gun haus. Normally they charge $10 FFL, but due to my relationship with them it is usually $5...

It is the Ogive that contacts the lands, not the nose.

Re: Talk me into (out of) a 20VT

Dan, I think RIO has some very good neutral advice for you. My personal thought on it, is a question for you. IF you can swing an entire new gun, then the discussion is over. IF NOT and a potential rebarrel is the discussion, think about this. The question for YOU becomes this: For you, what is more...

Re: Thompson Preditor in 204, enyone ?

Getting ready to pick mine up as well. $435!! Why not!!?!

The 10-twist should take you into the 50 grain realm with ease. Standard is a 12-twist.

Re: savage 10/110 problems/guestions

Jo1911 has you on the correct path. Sounds exactly like a hard carbon problem. Sierra was the folks that got me tuned into that issue. Their recommendation(which worked great for me) was to clean, then scrub the ever-loving crap out of it with JB bore paste. DO NOT be bashful in this step, then stan...
