    Optics Planet reviews

    Eurooptic is a better choice I bought several items from optics.planet but there was always seems to be a delay in shipping, or out of stock. I finally starting ordering from eurooptic.com and i have never had a problem. Good prices and fast shipping. I will not buy from optics.planet.com again

    New Powder Measure

    I love my Reddings Reddings are hard to beat! I gave up on my RCBS uniflows with the micrometers when I began High Power Rifle shooting and I turned to the Redding competition BR-3 powder measure. I use one for Pistols and one for Rifles and they are very accurate. I gave away my RCBS to my...

    Cell phone interference & digital scales

    I have never had a problem I have used an electronic scale since 1994 with no problems whatsoever. I was an NRA high power service rifle shooter for 10 years and I used a Pact/RCBS electronic scale with great success. I still have that scale but I upgraded it to an RCBS rangemaster 2000 and I...

    no IMR powders I have been looking for some IMR 8208 for a while with no luck. I did find some IMR 4895 and some 4064 from midway a couple of months ago but no luck since. I did order 5 lbs of varget from Hodgdon.com for $315. That should help me get through this drought. I also found some...

    varget for sale at hodgdon.com

    varget or BLC-2 I was a competitive high power service rifle shooter and I tried BLC-2 but it was too temperature sensitive. Varget is not temperature sensitive and it is very popular in the competition circles. It performed very well in my .223 rem loads out to 600 yards. Of course, YMMV

    varget for sale at hodgdon.com

    shop.hodgdon.com is selling varget at $49.99/lb with a max of 5. $40.00 shipping + tax. They also have other powders such as US 869, CFE Blk, H4831, BL-C2, titegroup and HS-6. Varget will probably sell out very quickly so better act quickly.

    M-1 Ammo: A Question?

    M1 garand loads Yes, He is right. Modern 30-06 ammo is loaded too hot for the M1 Garand and may bend the op-rod. The ball ammo for the M1 Garand was 150 gr at around 2700 fps. A few years ago, Winchester made a batch of commemorative ammo loaded for the M1 Garand and you may be able to still...

    .223 / 5.56 NATO

    5.56 chamber has a longer leade and round has more pressure The leade on the 5.56 is longer and the round is loaded to higher pressures than the .223. You can shoot .223 in a 5.56 chamber but you cant shoot 5.56 in a .223 chamber. Too much pressure. Cheers! Good Shooting!
