Will be headed that way in the morning if the weather holds up, looking forward to shooting with y’all again. How many sighters do we get?

All brass was wet tumbled and very clean then annealed and ran through a vibratory tumbler. Straight out of the tumbler produced 50lbs of seating force, dry graphite 30 lbs and wet graphite applied to the necks 18lbs. When I varied different bushings (altering squeeze tension) the numbers moved up and down…[Read more]

Also built a 308 on a Panda Fclass action for long range matches. Going to try and make it out the 20th and shoot with y’all but I might be moving that weekend

I tried some new lube last year. I need to seat some a little deeper and see if they pop or not since they have been loaded since November.

This will be the only weekend I can shoot for a while. I’ve got the itch, hadn’t shot in 4 months. However, I understand if it’s too wet also, no need in making a mess.

How long from Meridian? Looks to me to be about an hour. Anyway I can get someone’s phone number to call in case I can’t find the place. It would suck to stop on the side of the road and wait until I could hear the shooting start to find the place, lol.

It’s been in Seekins extra wide rings so ring marks should be very light if any. Glass has no scratches or dings to the tube. Paid 975 for it and asking 850$ or best offer.

The only thing I did differently was to calm down and concentrate on executing each shot like it was the only one I was going to take.

How is the forcast looking over that way? What are yall’s plans if a few showers pop up. Good to know there is another place to shoot only a few hours away.
