Don't weigh primers it won't really get you anywhere. I have always used CCI Benchrest Primers in rifle cartridges. Don't use brake cleaner or solvents as they can make the brass brittle. On new cases uniform and deburr the flash holes and chamfer the inside of the case mouth. Some rifles shoot everything well while others shoot bullets with a specific profile at a certain velocity best. With a 160 gr case vs a 162 gr case the difference percentage wise is just over 1%. Not very much and unless you fill each case with water and weight it you can't be certain if that deviation is in the volume of the case ot the weight of the case itself. I'm no math wiz but if the difference is say 1.25% and it is actually in the volumn of the case then a 243 case at an average charge weight of 45 grains we are looking at a case volumn maximum deviation of less than 1/2 a grain, to the case mouth. If you weigh each charge using extruded powder there will be a bigger difference than using ball powder just because ball powder is finer and getting a more exact charge weight has a higher possibility. Some cases like the 222 and 6mmPPC are inherently accurate and squeezing each cm of accuracy from them is less of a chore. Last thing you want to do is wear out the barrel and spend hundreds of dollars chasing clover leafs or one hole groups if taking snap shots at Coyotes or Coues at 200 yards on a windy day is what the rifle will spen 95% it's time doing.

Thats decent enough to shoot PD's out to 400 yrds and sorting cases and bullets by weight "should" tighten up a group. Curious, what are you doing to prep those cases and which primers are you using? One thing you can do is take one case of each different weight from low to high and using bullets that all weigh exactly the same and hand weighing each charge shoot a group and see how it compares to another group using the same amount of cases that weigh exactly the same, then compare the results. The weight difference of two grains would not be of big concern to me as it "could" be in the base which would not effect the actual case capacity and that is what decides the consistency of pressure and ultimately, velocity. Provided that OAL, case length etc are equal and thus removed from the equation. Chronographing loads is helpful and an the information logged is useful when developing pet loads.

I have probably seen one but can somebody post a picture or link to what it looks like. I have never heard of a called that before.

His comments on abortion will cost him many of the women votes. I don't think there is one person on here who would vote Obama/Biden.

In a factory rifle and chamber you are not going to notice enough if a difference to amount to anything due to the inherent differences compared to a rifle with a match chamber and blueprinted action. If your rifle is consistently capable of being able to cover 10 shots with a dime at 100 yards then you can weigh cases and bullets and sort them but it's not really necessary in a big game hunting rifle under field conditions.

I haven't used one personally but could use a new one, provided it's not heavy as I don't need too much extra weight in my pack. Found a few of them here, http://www.nextag.com/ravelli/stores-html If you get one let us know how it does.

Also not a fan of BT's for big game.

Notify the Sheriff and file a report.

Probably just natural causes and dogs like people suffer from being overweight. Why do you suspect foul play? I know Beagles can be notorious barkers and that can definately be a major issue living in a subdivision. We just lost our Boxer but she was about 13 and her body just gave out. She went from being a 13yo puppy in the morning to stumbling and loosing the ability to stand by the afternoon. Vet said it was her time.

Must have missed that. Too many long days at work. Apologies to the poster.

Just Trolling or do you have something pertinent to say along the lines of the thread topic? There are plenty of other Topics tearing down G&F so my suggestion is for you to leave this one and start your own thread. BTW,. Welcome to CWT.Com

Probably won't get 1/2 of the Republican Vote.

If you go on Gunbroker.com you can get an idea of the value. Your Dad did a great job of taking care of it, looks new. so I'd say it's worth what you are asking for it.

That will be fine. I'll be passing through Tucson in November to hunt WT in 36B, maybe we can meet up on my way down or back. Either way we will work something out.

I have Talley on a Tikka and man are they light. The guys on Alaska Outdoor Directory swear by them.

Discounts are good. I have about 1600 sq ft downstairs that will need covered, so I'll have to get the boss (aka, the wife) to settle on the size & color she wants. Just an FYI, they hate it when you say "I don't care honey, whatever you decide is ok with me". LOL

Know what you mean. After you push that button it should as you "Are You Sure", (Push Button), ARE YOU REALLY SURE!

I'll send you a PM.

Good luck guys, leave one for me I have the November hunt.

If you don't mind me asking, why front shoes only? Do they not need shoes on their back hooves?

I just listened to the debate on the radio and think I probably got more out of it than if I had watched it on the TV. Four or five times I felt like reaching into the radio and slapping Obama with his talking over Romney. I feel so much safer knowing that Romney said Automatic Rifles are illegal. Better buy'em soon and it wouldn't suprise me if they went up in price very quickly from here on out. Let the hoarding begin.

Maybe I'll stop by during lunch and pick up a pair.

I haven't found anything that comapares to Smartwool for wicking away moisture and they don't get matted down even after having them on for 12 hours. I have actually worn them two days in a row ( taking them off at night) and they just seem to go and go. I hate the high price though and while looking for better pricing found a company called sockcompanydotcom which has free shipping offers and good pricing too. Has anyone found something better?

Can you post up the number for their Service Dept? I would like to get a new pair of front lens covers for a pair of 42 EL's. The originals are starting to loosen up but after 8 years thats to be expected.
