Re: Manual decapping rod for .204?

+1 on the Lee Universal Decapping Die. I deprime spent cases on a separate dedicated press to keep all the filth away from my main press. Have decapped as small as the .204 Ruger, and large as the 500 S&W using the same die. Have had no issues at all.

Re: Please verify this drop chart for me.

While cleaning last night, I found that I did have more than 40 clicks adjustment on the elevation turret. It was just sticky, and you're not supposed to force it at the extreme ends of adjustment. I took it apart last night and put some CLP on it. Can get +23 MOA now. This still doesn't explain set...

Re: Please verify this drop chart for me.

Here's the formula to calculate muzzle energy.... E=MV2/450400 or E=bullet mass(in grains) times muzzle velocity squared divided by 450400. For a 40 gr bullet at 1066 that equals 101 ft. lbs rounded to nearest whole number. With that in mind the 86 ft. lbs for the 34 gr is right on. Thanks for the ...

Re: Finally got my 16 gauge A5!

When Woods does return When Woods does return, his 2010 golfing résumé will include a T-4 at the Masters, a missed cut at the Quail Hollow Championship and a WD at the Players Championship. Knowing what we know now about his injury, the showing golf clubs for sale at Augusta seems even more i...

Re: Please verify this drop chart for me.

Do you guys notice anything weird about that chart from the JBM page I posted? I expected the 34gr dogtown, with a BC of .149, to run out of gas out past about 400, but something on that chart I posted above doesn't make sense. At 600, it says the 34gr bullet will still be going 1066fps. That's the ...

Re: Please verify this drop chart for me.

I noticed I read from the wrong column in that first scope chart too.

So just take the numbers straight from the JBM chart eh? Like this?

That should be much quicker than counting so many clicks. Thanks

Please verify this drop chart for me.

In case you guys haven't been the the JBM ballistics calculators site lately. They've been making improvements. Remember that batch of 1000 rounds I loaded up? That's a 34gr Dogtown bullet with a 3900fps muzzle velocity (chrono at 10ft). I hadn't shot it at more than 200 yards with no wind. I'm actu...

Re: Free Recoiling

I like your setup there Quoddy.

I thought free recoil was more for those 15 pound BR rifles with the 2oz trigger. Video

I've tried a light hold myself and had terrible results so far. Would be interested to hear some of the finer points involved in the correct technique.

its interesting that you are such an expert on flash hole debur tools. I find it odd that you are so focused on trash talking my tool when you haven't even used it.

Re: Garmin GPS

Looks like the Garmin 765T is best bang for the buck right now. ~$190 plus ~$90 for lifetime updates . (Fast Internet connection recommended. The update file can be 2gb+.) Both of the above prices can be lower if you wait for a sale or %off coupon code somewhere online. Also, don't worry about buyin...

Re: Garmin GPS

I got my first handheld Garmin GPS back in '04. Since then I've had a couple dash mounted versions, and a data logging bluetooth model with no screen or anything. It really depends on what you want to use it for. The turn-by-turn directions type for your vehicle don't translate very well to carrying...
