If you can hit something at 400 yards you already have an advantage over half the people that will be there that have never shot a .22 over 100 yards. All steel targets and will be a great time.

The testors matte clear coat model car paint makes rattle can jobs pretty durable.

If I looked down and saw my foot like that I'd probably sent the next one through my skull

Yup. Which would serve most cardboard hunters just fine.

Composite. I imagine a laminate stock would look like hell after a short time in my hands.

It's 9" long, 1.5" in diameter, and black.

If I was looking for a cheap spotting scope I'd pick up a fixed 20 power SWFA scope. Better glass than cheap spotters and can always mount it on a gun whenever. High magnification on cheap optics is usually shitty.

I feel like you're one post away from telling me I can't load accurate ammo FL sizing my brass and without weight sorting my components.

No you brought the wind in as a variable in longer range accuracy when your initial statement was that lee dies were only good for 100 yard ammo which is simply untrue. A load that shoots a one hole group at 100 yards shouldn't be expected to shoot a one hole group at 500 yards but one that's...

Reading the wind is on the shooter not the round and certainly not the die. As I said a sub moa load at 100 yards with tight velocity numbers and appropriate bullet choice will be sub moa at 500 given the shooters abilities. Micrometer seating dies have dials for easy adjustments in seating...

You said they were only good for loading 100 yard ammo. If they'll produce accurate rounds at 100 yards they'll still be accurate at 500 yards given the shooters ability, proper bullet choice, and low SD/ES none of which have anything to do with the die.

Based on what logic?

I should have asked you what kinda die it was lol my .223 lee die does the same thing to the bullets now that you brought it to my attention.

I bought a used RCBS rock chucker and just started adding stuff from there. You'd have to look hard at the "complete" kits to see if they're for you. They do save you money vs buying all the pieces separate but I realized I wouldn't use some of it and wouldn't be cheaper for me. Handloader is...

Looks like it went good. You can see the nodes where it comes together then goes to shit then tightens back up. I would load some at 24, 24.1, and 24.2 when you have a chance to use a chrono and see where you're at. I like 24.1 because it's in between your two good groups and gives you a little...

No doubt. It was a series of 5 matches with a .308 division and an open division. Winner of each division had a shoot off with the rifle that was up for grabs. Shooting the matches is fun enough but one on one was pretty intense.

Waiting for a counter offer that hopefully includes a mutual JO before I commit

Throw in a brick of thunderbolts and we might have a deal.

Could be the bullet profile not jiving with the seating stem in the die and the compressed loads would obviously amplify the effects due to the increased effort to seat the bullet. I remember the 175 tmks seated to the same length to the ogive as my SMKs gave me a really long COAL. Faint marks...
