Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. One more reason I need to get a skid steer!
  2. Judging by the scenery in the background I would think you could reach out miles. Either way this is a sweet setup. I like the concrete blocks but I dont think my compact tractor would be able to move them. Our property has a low spot right in the middle which would be the furthest I would shoot and measures around 300yds. Just need to clear lanes and make an area like yours for steel/pistol. Thanks!
  3. I went with a RCA Titanium BCG. I tuned in my gas block and then made fine tweaks with the adjustable gas key on the BCG. Coupled with a JP Silent Captured System it shoots crazy flat and light. Probably moreso than my AR15. I would shoot it more if ammo was cheaper.
  4. I used to use a tumbler with corn cob/walnut media, some concoction of nu finish or brass cleaner/polish. It ended up being way more work and very dirty/dusty. Do yourself a favor go get the frankford Platinum tumbler. Dont use the stainless media. Just add hot water and Dawn dish soap and turn the timer to 2 hours. When its done you will be amazed at the nasty water that comes out but your brass will look fantastic. Then I just lay them out on a towel and let them dry or setup a fan to dry them quicker. This works just as well for any caliber even rifle.
  5. I have been trying to figure out the most economical way to build a practice range that would allow me to shoot both handgun and rifle without taking up a ton of space. I thought about setting up a covered bench facing down the longest part of our property with staggering backstops at various distances. Then at an angle from the bench setup a pistol bay 30-50yds deep. What have some of you done for at home practice as well as making it convenient to sight in and practice with long guns? Id like to see some layouts or pics to give me ideas on what to do this summer. I also have an electric thrower I thought about setting up with a little shelter. Everyone like busting clays once in a while.
  6. I have shot over 50k through my 5.25 with everything from hot factory loads all the way down to super slow 147gr over titegroup without a hitch. I do run a wolf 16lb recoil spring and springer trigger but it has never let me down. I have thought about adding an optic so Ill keep this in mind that it may require a heavier load than anticipated.
  7. We will never see the days of $25/k ever again. Greed and demand have shown that a large amount of people will tolerate these crazy prices. We can hope they drop all we want but I think those days are gone. The saying of "I wish I would have bought more back then definitely hurts now" unless you somehow managed to stash away hundreds of thousands of primers, we will have to buy them sooner or later.
  8. Tac is a great all around powder that will function well in your AR and Bolt gun. If you want to start tweaking for accuracy then look at heavier projectiles and my two favorite powders are 8208 and Varget.
  9. Its one of those "All the cool kids are doing it" I must buy one or twelve. 6 months later you move onto the next thing.
  10. I use titegroup for 9 40 and 45 with great results just have to be mindful of the low volume required. I have also had decent results with unique, bullseye, WST, 700x, etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I am just bulk processing at the moment to get ready for 3 Gun season. The press is properly adjusted and timed. There is almost no play in the ram or shellplate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Ok so I just got my RT1500 all set up on my LnL and I have been trying to dial it in to trim to 1.75 but I cannot get any consistency no matter what I try. Currently my die setup is Station 1 - Decap Station 2 - open Station 3 - Trim/Size Station 4 - Open Station 5 - Open I am getting anywhere from 1.740 to 1.755 which seems excessive to have 15 thousands variance. What is considered acceptable? Is anyone else running a similar setup or have any hints top tricks they have learned along the way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Ok these are 180gr precision delta FMJ. I went ahead and tested these loads. They were fired out of a Glock 22. 3.3gr TG @ 1.125" 809 780 813 798 796 787 776 812 = 796.375 for PF - 143.347 This load is still too hot. May have to drop it all the way down to 3.0gr. 4.4gr TG @ 1.125" 963 932 932 951 953 932 930 = 941.857 for PF - 169.534 This will probably be the one. Just have to test it out of an STI and a Glock 35. 4.5gr TG @ 1.125" (just for the hell of it) 962 971 955 949 952 = 957.8 for PF - 172.404 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Like the title says, I'm trying to work up a major and minor load with titegroup with 180gr loaded at 1.125" I was thinking about trying 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 for minor and 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 for major. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I run a safariland on an els belt with 5 mags for uspsa production Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
