SIE107

Yes, never having that come to mind that is a great point to make.. and by the way.. it arrived today..

Yes I am truly looking forward using it. I have a question though, would it be worth the money to later add the air pressure attachment for the lube?

I bought some n320 too.. I have a pound of Tightgroup that I am going to use up before I get into the VV powder.

Well I will not need one afterall.. I have discovered that once I started using my RCBS sizing die to size the "glocked" brass.. it sized it enough to fit in my tighter chambered Performance Center Tactical .40.. so I am not going to worry about it any more.

The only powder to use in .308 is Varget or RL-15 and 4064, these are the best powders also for the M1A. If you shoot an M1 Garand.. I wouldn't go any slower than H4895.. unless you want to bend your op-rod.

Read above.. those are the popular powders .. BLC-2 is not on the short list.. never will be.. and it is way too temp sensitive. Another powder that gives excellent accuracy and meters well is WW748.. but again.. too temp sensitive and is not on the short list.. The popular powders for .223 are in order. Varget, RL-15, N540, N140, AA2520, H4895.

Well I ordered a Star sizer on the 26th of March, they are shipping it two weeks before they said that they would! Yea!

Varget is the powder, but if you can get Reloader 15, that is good too.. also. VV N540, N140. RL15, 540 and 140 will usually yield higher velocities than Varget, but Varget is more temp tolerant.

Got the powder yesterday.. should last me a while. At the rate that I plan to shot my pistol, this 8 pounds should last me a couple of years.

There was a word that I was trying to think of while I was writting my previous post, well .. while at work last night, it hit me. Equanimity

I look at being in the "bubble" as being in a state of concentration that nothing around you, you will notice.. Just as in like when I shoot prone matches or national match type rifle matches.. the person next to me.. When it is time to focus, I am aware of the fact that I am not the only one on the line.. but those others, they are lost in my mist of concetration. A person could be shooting a 338 Lapua Mag next to me, I will not notice that they are there till it is all over. My bubble is: me, the target and my scorer. My focus zone, is me and the target. Notice that I have not mentioned the firearm.. that is because, in part, my way of thinking is that you must become part of the weapon that You using. In essence " Be the Bullet". I do a lot of "imaging", going through everything in my mind. Position, sight alignment, calling the shot. See everything in your mind. Over and over again. Always remembering the basics, building upon them.. when I come into a problem, I start over from the foundation.

Your right.. I went back and looked at it.. it is from the 2006 PDF file of the VV reloading info.. I must have mis-typed it.. it says 4.3grs and not 4.5grs like I had originally posted.. sorry for my fat lil fingers getting in the way. Randy

I have recieved a couple thou of once fired Winnie .40 brass.. My RCBS sizing die sizes the "glocked" brass perfect to use in my S&W.

If you go to the VV website it list the following information to which OP is referring to for charge wt. Fiocchi 180gr LTC bullet, starting load of 3.5grs (883fps) and a max load of 4.5grs (1010fps) of N320. OAL 1.126. This is the only 180gr bullet in their load info that they used N320 with. They do not state what type of firearm they use, only that the test bbl was 5.5 inches long.
