Had the same challenges on stage 6, so I bought Binos and the SIG Kilo 1400 BDX. now i need to start practicing using the combo. might go to reiveille this weekend just for that.

Hi all I’m a limited 3-gun shooter using a Vortex Spitfire. I dial elevations for each target. In local matches range to targets are usually shared, but in the Texas 3-gun championship i was scrambling to get info from other competitors. So, for future matches I would like to supplement my equipment with a 1000 yds rangefinder. What rangefinders should I be considering? Any recommendations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I placed my order for two cases on 8/2. I was charged and still waiting. At the time the time to ship was 10-12 weeks. So, mid-October, 10 wks from order, I’ll start following up with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What power factor are you getting with this load?

Same here. Any fixes or workarounds?

I guess I’m not shooting enough as I was not aware that BlueB stopped offering the 147 g Flat point w/ lube groove bullet. Or is this just because of COVID-19? Is anybody aware of what happened? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use 23.5 g (2,850 FPS)of SW Tactical rifle for 55g and the same loading for 68g (2744 FPS). I am planning to switch from the hornady 68g HPBT to the 77g Nosler CC HPBT w/ cannelure and was in the search for a powder. Since I am new to reloading rifle, I tend to stay away from max charge and look for powders that give me more headroom in the high end to get max velocity with low pressure. From this topic, I reviewed the load information for TAC, CFE223, 8208 XBR, SW Precision Rifle, and varget. I settled on CFE223, because of the above. I’ll report back when I get a chance to load and test some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bumping As I’m getting ready to setup my son’s belt for 3Gun, I’m much interested in feedback about this topic. I currently use TeK-Lock, which allows me to add remove, but requires to remove belt, which is a PITA. So I’m too considering TMMS vs ELS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My prairie dog perfect flow control was not so perfect and drifted midway through a 100 .223 bullet reload session. I already pulled the bullets with a brand new hornady cam-lock bullet puller. Now I have 100 primed cases. Is it ok to just reload them? Would neck tension be affected? Any other considerations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I load 3.14 gr of SS behind 147 Blue Bullets @ 1.145” and get 890 from my XDm. btw, I get single digit SD. And max spread is less than 20fps At 3.3 grains I get 907fps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check out MidSouth, they have free haz mat in Shooters World (19HAZS) and alliant (19HAZA) powders, $5 haz fee for federal primers (19HAZP) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I usually follow the die Manufacturer’s instructions, so I was not expecting the cases to be short. I read Dillon’s instructions that mention the use of the case gage, which got me concerned. I may not even use range brass going forward, but I had a bunch collected and wanted to process to see if it is something I want to get into. But depending on my shooting volume, may just buy fully processed and setup a loading only toolhead: decapping, powder/prime, Bullet seater and crimp die. Newbie mistake and lesson learned. Thanks for the feedback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do I need to scrap my processed brass? I’ve been Reloading 9mm for 5 years, and yesterday started Reloading 223 in my XL650 for hoser ammo. Range brass, wet tumbled. I adjusted the Lee resizing/decapping die according to Lee instructions (1/2 turn after touching shell plate) an processed about 500 223 cases. When I checked with the LE Wilson case gauge, all case heads are below the lower step. So, a few questions: - scrap processed brass for excessive headspace? - what is the correct process of adjusting decapping die in the XL650? Thanks for your guidance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I installed the large bar and using H335, drops are very consistent. Now, I need to buy a second micrometer adjuster for the large bar to create the calibration curve for each powder. The addiction continuess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m changing caliber from 9mm to 223. Range of powder to be dropped is from 18 to 23 grains of Tactical Rifle and H335. According to Dillon manual small bar is for 3-20 and large for 20-45 grains. So looks like my loads are in between the two bars. Which powder bar should work for my range and provide the most consistent drops? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I don’t shoot right over the sensors of the chrono I get similar erratic results. Also distance from the chrono play a role. Finally, if you have the competition electronics deluxe chrono with built in Bluetooth, it has a quirk when recording duplicate velocities. When you have the same velocity in 2 or more consecutive shots, if the string in the chrono is full, it does not record the subsequent velocities to your phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I used for several years. I agree, vibraprime does not like them, but otherwise they work perfect in my 650. Not a single malfunction in my PCC or XDm. Helps with your math too, 12 rows + 4 more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was doing the same search yesterday in the Dillon website. For 6.5 CM in the 650XL you need the Large Rifle Casefeed plate, refer to case feeder manual - https://www.dillonprecision.com/docs/Dillon_Casefeed_Manual_2018.pdf For dies, Dillon website only offer Redding two-die set stock #71005.

My reloading area is in my workshop, which is also my workspace for doing all repairs at home, including car repairs. Whenever I’m going to reload I tidy up the bench and the work area around it, including removing the a vise that is next to my 650XL. After the reloading session, I clean the 650XL, pick up all spent primers that fell to the floor, dust around the machine and put the cover on. During reloading is about a 7, but between is a 2.5.

This answers many of my questions regarding reloading equipment and supplies as I’m also moving. But in my case, for all my firearms is a bit more complicated. I live in Puerto Rico and moving to Texas. PR has one of the strictest gun laws in the US after CA. Firearms permit, target shooting permit, CCL and separate license to buy powder as it is considered an explosive. Renewal of all of these are in the thousands of dollars. Hence my firearms are registered, as well as my ammo and powder purchases. For the move I am planning to transfer FFL to FFL all my firearms to make sure they are taken off the PR registry. For ammo and powder, I am now trying to consume my inventory to avoid any hassles during the move. Selling ammo or powder is not allowed, only FFL can sell those in PR. I guess I’ll need to get used not having big brother overseeing all my shooting activities in TX. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately I live in Puerto Rico, so no ammo shipments to U S. Hence, I need to bring my reloads in the plane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, let’s see how to handle the following situation. I am traveling to Ares 6 with my 11 year old son. I am shooting Limited and he is shooting PCC. PCC, pistol, belt, etc is traveling inside a non-TSA lock locked hard case. I am planning to bring one additional bag to be checked under my son’s ticket with our clothes and ammo. I reload, hence I want to bring 400-500 rounds each, which will require each of us to put our ammo in our respective bags. 500 rounds in the hard case and 500 in my son’s luggage. Since he is underage, would TSA/Airline allow me check his bag with ammo in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I load 135 for my son’s AR-9 with 5.25” barrel from Taccom at 3.05gr of TG 1.125” OAL for 132 PF Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am shooting 135 gr truncated cone blue bullets over 2.7 gr of TiteGroup for 941 fps or 129 PF @1.120”. This is for a AR9 style rifle using a KVP 8.5” long barrel I built for my son. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
