The CZickness XXXIX Waiting on what's next.

That is a Wiebad Mini Fortune Cookie. Very well thought of bags. I've had it a couple of years. I originally got it for NRL22.

I still need to pick me up one of those. I have two of their bags already and use them frequently. Very well made.

Spent most of the evening getting prepped for tomorrow's range trip. Got a pleasant surprise today, ADM had overnighted me replacement scope rings, so I get to accuracy test the 308 tomorrow as well.

Cool. I should get the scope and rings tomorrow and will spend tomorrow evening getting it installed and leveled for Saturday.

Actually, for my (non-competitive) usage, they might have a bag that is better suited to my need.
My gosh, they have so many ! .... I'm going to study that Wiebad website for a while.

Patience0830 had a 'monster' bag, that I borrowed one time for a front-rest.
I swear, that thing was more stable than my bipod !

A good bag is better than a bipod in most situations

Just thought I would put this out here for you Sig/G**** lovers.....
17 rds of high velocity hard hitting rounds in 10 mm

I give you a 2011.......

Ordered my SuperBio belt tonight. Not as expensive as I thought they'd be.

Pulled this one out today as it had not received any mouse love this winter and every other gun I own did.
All the way down and spent some serious time in the ignition controls as the gauge shows.

It will be at AllenM's next week for the slide to be re-colored out signature burnt Bronze. I am not sure if that goes against me saying I am in a quite place with my collection.....

Better take a rain check, might bump into my Glock slide and catch something lol.

The litter will be interesting....

I had loaded 10 rounds for testing on Saturday, using the Hornsby manual for reference. When I plugged the recipe into QuickLoad, it showed it as a dangerous load with pressures above spec. Not by a lot but in the red. So, I checked a couple of other sources and the both agree with QuickLoad.

I disassembled the rounds and reloaded them. Sierra lists the optimum load as 39.3g 4064 for a 175g Matchking, so that’s what I went with this time.

On a happy note, I had ordered 168g HPBT Matchkings but had been wanting 175g. Turns out, they sent the 175g by mistake back in January. I had never looked closely at the box but when checking the bullet weight before loading, I was surprised to see them weigh in at 175g. I checked the box ad sure enough, they sent 175g by mistake. I’m not complaining about that screw up.

On the off chance you haven't discovered this yet, military .308 brass like Lake City and some commercial brass like Lapua (I think) has lower case capacity than most commercial brass such as Winchester so pay attention to the case used for each published load. It is recommended to lower the charges by 1.5-2grs for the lower capacity cases.

Some of the handloads I shot last Saturday were loaded in LC brass but the published data used Winchester brass. I reduced the loads by 1.5grs and the velocities matched perfectly with the published loads and Win. brass.

Yup, I saw that too. Lots more to reloading for rifles than just cranking out handgun loads on the Dillon

I don't think my brain can ever handle reloading my own ammo. Just saying.

I could if I wanted to dedicate the limited hard drive space in my limited little mind.
But I am basically a HotRodder so no.

It's not bad, you just have to pay attention...always. It's also the easiest way to increased accuracy.

Oh, and don't get analysis paralysis.

Morning all...

Oh, and don't get analysis paralysis.

That leaves out Carlos...

Yeah, I'm screwed then, Analysis Paralysis is my middle name.

TAPD. Hmmm.

Damn. Kilt it.
