    johnd liked post by Mooseman On thread : How hard do you typically push your loads?
    Generally stay at top end of load rates so long as they shoot ok and are safe, I like to get close to around the 3000 fps mark for several of my rifles as it seems to give a good balance of power...

    johnd liked post by MB On thread : Vacuum Sealer
    Russell-Hobbs is single seal. You can of course double seal manually if you want to. I occasionally do this when there is too much moisture in the food for whatever reason.

    johnd liked post by Husky1600 On thread : Sighting in a rifle on a short range
    I often sight my rifles in at 25 metres, only one shot at a time, 2 or 3 to get smack on. But then I verify it at 100 with a 3 shot group. Most times I can get it all done with less than 7 shots. And...

    This is true. I had 2 horses roll down the mountain and fall in the river and they got out just fine. The saddles were a little worse for wear however.

    A less destructive way is to insert a feeler gauge of the required thickness under the case in the Shellholder- I.e. poke it in under the base. Works well and you don’t need to try and mess with...

    No, but I'd like to give it a burn in my 6.5 Creedmoor. Will do so with a variety of bullets in the next couple of weeks and check it for accuracy and also velocity with the Labradar .

    I use a Harrell BR powder measure, a RCBS trickler and old Lyman scales. I set the powder measure to throw just under the desired weight and trickle up. Fast and accurate. Occasionally, I'll check...

    I use it in a 260 improved. Goes better than all the other recommended powders I have tried in my barrel behind several different projectiles. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
