OK One more with Scenery and a shooting "double' bench with sun protection that we need for our next Spring trip, and possibly long sleeve shirts. http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss170/hemiallen/IMG_1545.jpg Most of our shots were inside of the telephone pole seen between the shooting benche...

If you don't mind more Springtime shooting pictures http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss170/hemiallen/IMG_1543.jpg My son, his 223/ PSS stocked SPS That I bedded, Jewell set at 12 oz for him , inexpensive 6-18 Banner that shoots 50 gn V-max into the .3's ( when I drive, lol) and a nice Alturas ranc...

Thanks again Rick. Now that I see it written, I apologize, you already gave me that Gunsmiths name a moon or 2 ago. I am much closer to that gun being modified, am writing all the info down and now filing it in my new cabinet. I suspect is is a hummer like all your other rigs? I may go 22k or 17AH, ...

Interesting option for my conversion from the K-hornet contender. Rick, who installed the barrel for you? Mine is a ruger #3 in 45-70, a caliber I'll probably not need in my future, and what trigger(s) do you use ? The K looks like a chrome trigger blade, the 223 looks like a Canjar, which I missed ...

ALL SOLD

I have a few lots of brass, the ones that are left are all 221 FB turned into 17 FB R-P brand. ALL ARE NOW 17 FIREBALL http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss170/hemiallen/17fireballbrass2.jpg Sorry for the picture having some already sold brass. The bags left are the boxed brass, and the other top 2 ...

What a cool project. Looks very nice, what a nice tribute to your dad, especially since he saved the wood from becoming carbon ash. I have an old black walnut stock in my front yard, we cut down almost all of the English limbs and it has lived with fresh Black walnut shoots for 10 years since my wif...

Interesting . The first firing to fireform is what you see, I assume you are thinking once formed maybe this will go away? I'll resize one and give it a try. I have never used Rem primers before, always used WW primers for everything. This is my first attempt at Rem, and soon Fed 205m primers in the...

No, I just opened a box from my 7-TCU fired brass ( 20 years ago) and the primer dent looks half the diameter and the rest of the primer has flattened, not concaved like in the pictures, although they could have been used with my other frame. Good point.

I have a "new to me" contender carbine barrel in 17 AH, and initially I thought it was a light load causing the depression in the fired primers, but I loaded up 18.6 grains of H322, a Vmax 20 grain bullet and used 6 1/2 Rem primers and got the same condition. http://i572.photobucket.com/al...

My 17 Cooper went back to the factory for a tune-up, and came back shooting teeny tiny groups, as all Coopers should. A friendly call to ask what they used to poke sub 0.1" 3 shot groups had me buying a box of 50 HSM 20 gn Vmax ammo. The first range session wasn't quite up to the guns potential...

Taking up space in my reloading room. Cool boxes.




Thanks

Allen

I picked up a TC super 14 barrel in 223 Rem thinking it would be cool to shoot vermin with, but it doesn't seem to get much range time over my bolt guns. It has a front sight, no rear sight. I want to keep the scope and rings/ bases. I shot a 3 shot group, 2 touching and the third made the group 3/4...

Nice Cooper pickup off GB I am currently soaking my Cooper 17 Remington in UBC to reduce fowling. Mine took a ride back to the factory as it wasn't shooting as well as I expected, and I have other guns I have shot bugholes with , even on the same range ( private) session. They informed me with a ver...

Thanks for the update. My FIL was running a 22-250 AI and had an issue of key-holing, albeit much less than your target. After a conversation with Sierra the Tech he spoke to said he had the same experience with the BK bullet my FIL had issues with, and to fix the problem.......... Drumroll......Use...
