Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I have a lee c-frame and handpress for when I am tinkering and experimenting with stuff.
  2. I cut the spring under the shell plate to reduce the snap, also got the bearings, very smooth now. I have a small thingie thats just a small washer with a thin handle, I shove this onto the primer indexing arm so I can stop the indexing when I want to. The primers being fed all the time was annoying as heck so this is my most useful mod. I do tend to tweak & fiddle with new loads and unloading the press of primers for every time would be cumbersome. The other thing I want is uniquetek micrometers on some of the measures.
  3. Well I've had my old TA-11 for a while now and I really like it. I don't think I will be swapping it out anytime soon, I really just enjoy using it, and the donut reticle which I thought I would not like, I very much enjoy using. It's a completely different type of scope but I think I am more suited to it
  4. I would have liked to have seen the test done over say a few months, to give the barrels time to cool down between shootings (of enough bullets to simulate a 3gun stage, say), to more closely resemble normal usage.
  5. Well I bought that TA11 I mentioned, so now I get to compare and contrast the two.
  6. I have that same model. Anyone have experience with say the VX6 from leupold, or other 1-6x scopes, how are they on this front? I've also been offered a TA11 with donut reticle (tritium is said to be nearly expired) for 650 euros.
  7. I have the recon X mount and I don't need to get it further away really, on 6.5x I need to move closer infact.
  8. It's my first scope so I am not sure if I expected too much from it, but the narrow eye box that requires a very careful placement of the head at high magnification has been hard for me to live with. I used to have an aimpoint so maybe I've been spoiled. I'm currently the only one in my whole club with a 1-6x scope so I haven't had much chance in comparing with other people. Most people here use irons or aimpoints, so I ask the question here. Do other 1-6 scopes have as narrow an eye box as this scope does? What are your experiences? I've also been wondering about 1-4x scopes, do they give greater "flexibility"? I was told by some guy on a forum the increased magnification range of these scopes in combination with the small objective contribute to a narrower eye box and other issues. I have been starting to contemplate trying to find myself an ACOG TA11, since I've heard is that it's a top notch optic with a giant eyebox that makes it great for fast shooting from various positions. I would dearly like to try one but they are practically unheard of here.
  9. Nope I use a light load of 3.6g of N330, no compression at all, I can hear the powder shaking around even. It's definitely the crimp die that causes the OAL variation, I have verified this.
  10. I've got my stuff back together now, new custom expander that makes the ID of the case to .355" and bullets are now sized to .356". The problem still persists, the crimp die touches the bullet and pulls it out as the cartridge backs back out of the die. Can anyone tell me if there's some other design of crimp die, that does not touch the bullet? Or is not as liable to as the dillon one. My problem is likely the profile of the bullet rather than it being fat, it being a 147gr flat nose profile.
  11. I think the narrow eyebox is the biggest issue for me, it's not bad at 1x but at 6.5x I sometimes have to readjust a few times to get it right. Not sure how other scopes compare to this one though, I have no experience with optics. This is my only and first scope aside from a cheapo 4x20 I got with an old levergun, that I promptly removed. I read elsewhere that the biggest cause for the tight eyeboxes on scopes like these is the small front objective and it gets only worse if you increae the zoom range so I wonder how that 1.8x stacks up here. I wouldn't say no to a simple 1-6x with a larger front objective, maybe a 32mm like I've seen on certain IOR scopes, if that would give a bigger and less sensitive eyebox.
  12. I understand the principle of that and I am looking into having someone making me a custom powder funnel for my Dillon measure that would act like a two-step expander. I don't think it's relevant to my OAL problem though.
  13. They are clean, they're new dies and this is their first use, I have loaded maybe 10 rounds so far. EDIT: The seating die produces the same OAL on rounds, I have loaded and checked the rounds after being seated, the OAL is correct there, it's only after crimping that they get longer.
  14. Would you still recommend a bigger expander plug if I size to .356" in the future? Do I want a Lee expander plug if I am running Dillon dies? I am not sure how the expander plug is responsible for inconsistent OAL though? I can see it causing another issue by maybe making the bullet diameter too small, but OAL issues?
