      CMP match

      Hello all, been a while since I've visited the forums. Anyway, I recently moved back to the DMV area and want to get back into the CMP matches that the Thurmont range runs periodically. I saw that their next match is next month but their site also says the rifle range is closed due to...

      What Gives?

      Even if accuracy was great, I would still be replacing the stock. The Magpul stock is much better than factory, but there are some things about it I do not like. Before I replace anything though I do intend to track down what the problem is. I'll start with getting some of the recommended...

      What Gives?

      These are the only pics I have at the moment. The first is the best group it has achieved so far at .9" so just barely sub MOA. As you will see in some of the others, there will two or three grouped together then the others will be off on their own. The measurements I took from the center of the...

      What Gives?

      Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll buy a box of that ammo and see what happens.

      What Gives?

      Hello all. I bought my Remington 700 Varmint in .308 a little over a year ago. Since then I have been experimenting with load development but so far have not been happy. At 100 yards shooting off a bench the best I have been able to get was a 3/4" inch group. I am using 168 gr Speer Target...

      RT 50

      I used to cross the Severn bridge 5 days a week...westbound in the morning, east in the afternoon around 5 PM. To this day I do not understand why traffic piles up on the eastbound side every afternoon. Do people naturally slow down going over bridges? Are people afraid so they instinctively...

      Forester Neck Sizer/Bump Die

      Good point...not sure why I didn't think of that. I guess maybe because the directions didn't say anything about adjusting the die to change the bump. Through trial and error on some previously fired cases that were getting stiff to close a bolt on, I was able to set it at .002" and was...

      Reloading Components

      Bass Pro is the only place I have found to have a decent reloading section within a reasonable driving distance. Whatever I can't find there I order online.

      Forester Neck Sizer/Bump Die

      Dang...wish I would have known about those shell holders before I bought the die. Oh well I guess. The die has some other cool features so I suppose I'll keep it and see how it does. Thanks for the information.

      Forester Neck Sizer/Bump Die

      Hello all. I have a Remington 700 Varmint in .308. I have been experimenting with different loads of IMR4895 as well as bullet seating depths and think I have found a combination that works well using Speer 168gr bullets. I am trying to shrink my groups even more by making my reloads as...

      TCSC Garand match?

      Thanks for the link. It doesn't say anything about a Garand match. Guess I'll give them a call and see.

      TCSC Garand match?

      Yes, I believe the Garand matches are CMP. Do you have a current schedule or know where to find one?

      TCSC Garand match?

      Hello all. Anyone know the 2017 JCG match schedule at Thurmont? I was under the impression there will be one next month but their website still has the 2016 schedule up. Thanks.

      M1903 or M917 - send me to school

      I own two 1917's, a 1903 and a 1903A3. I prefer shooting the 1917s over my '03's. The 1917 just feels sturdier and I like the sights better. However for collecting purposes, you need both. With all that said, I too am a Marine, and as such there is no excuse to not having an '03.

      M1 Carbine Jam

      My Carbine recently started doing the same thing. I was shooting reloads but I had never had a problem before with them. It had the same issue with all three of my mags (non USGI). I too came to the conclusion that it was a bad slide spring as that is the only thing left that made sense. I have...
