      CONFLICTING 62g .223 H4895 & IMR 3031 LOAD DATA

      Thanks for the responses everyone. Now to go back and read the section on dippers I skipped over... Either way it looks like this will take a few trips to the range to clear up, which certainly isn't a bad thing.

      CONFLICTING 62g .223 H4895 & IMR 3031 LOAD DATA

      Thanks Uncle Duke, Good point! This is one of those times I wish I'd have devoted more time to college trig LOL... Going to read up on this and crash on it, and wanted to thank you and the other folks who chimed in on my question. This is a wonderful resource! Kind regards, Dave

      CONFLICTING 62g .223 H4895 & IMR 3031 LOAD DATA

      Hadn't thought of that but makes sense. As I did here I traditionally presumed weight as the controlling factor but, like tracer vs ball, length can certainly be different. Unfortunately I've not seen published data of things like bullet length. Hopefully one of the producers will shed some...

      CONFLICTING 62g .223 H4895 & IMR 3031 LOAD DATA

      Thanks for the quick responses. I was thinking test barrel length and seating but tried to keep it too simple. Still seems a long way off though. I've had no problems using Lee's Modern Reloading data (sticking to > or = min OAL specs per) but this is the furthest deviation I've run across to...

      CONFLICTING 62g .223 H4895 & IMR 3031 LOAD DATA

      Recently got in a batch of 62 grain FMJ bullets to reload for my ARs. This is my first experience with loading 62g bullets and I noticed some rather severe conflicts in my load data. Hodgdon's online data for H4895 w/ a 62 grain bullet lists a 21 grain minimum load (2740 fps @ 42,300 psi) and...

      9mm RED DOT LOAD DATA

      Anyone have any book (reliable) load data for 9mm Luger using Red Dot? I'm adding a few more data manuals to my library but until I lay eyes on each it is a hit or miss proposition for specific data. Bottom line, I've been reloading since the mid-80's and have worked up and been using Red Dot...

      Velocity Factor .308 Win/7.62 147 Grain FMJ

      I am in the process of putting together some reduced loads for my M1916 Spanish mauser but I cannot find some of the data I need. Without getting into the debate over whether or not it is safe to shoot full-power .308 ammo (I've done more reading on that than I care to) what I can say is the...

      Finnish Captured and Reworked 1941 Tula SVT-40

      I've posted more this evening than almost ever- though usually quiet, can't help but compliment you on this SVT. The stock is beautiful and condition appears darned good for weapon through what it has been. To say the least. Thanks for the info, I love learning from folks here.

      unusual fox sighting

      I can't argue with the more experienced fox hunters here, but after decades of trapping & hunting fox, I've never seen a group like that. I find it telling you equated them to mini-coyotes. Those, even here in semi-suburbia, I have seen over the last ten years for the first time. Never a coyote...

      Why Load Common Rounds?

      Depends on what dies, reloading gear, primers and powders you have on-hand. I'd forget a progressive press. I have 4 shotgun reloaders and even the cadillac of them all isn't worth what it was when I was shooting 500 or more rounds per week in the 80s. I have shot etc on-hand but not worth my...

      CMP M1 carbines

      My order arrived on the appointed day, nada so far on the E-Store. That said, my QHMC will likely hit the For Sale section soon here either way.

      CZ porn, anyone?

      Well, I've seen more than a few here already but here is my eye-candy. I like the look, feel, and prefer it over the same old thing... ah, my CZ-82, that is...

      Sign of the times

      I don't disagree an ioda with your assessment of where this nation is being dragged, but at least someone is giving those of us stuck here for a while an option. I thought for sure they'd be off the table next month.

      Spanish M1916 Mauser...7.62 NATO $170 at Samco

      I purchased mine in 1989... suffice to say shooting .308 Winchester out of that weapon is not advisable, despite the import mark.

      Wideners Not Selling to MD C&Rs

      I see your point, but why the lack of clarity? "Assuming" is just that. I for one would expect them to make it clear- if it is indeed the case- that they will still sell C&R to Maryland residents. I won't be bothering to myself.

      Wideners Not Selling to MD C&Rs

      I understand- it actually appeared today when I was getting ready to order a CZ82. Wasn't there yesterday.
