Is jealously appreciated :-) What was the cost, please.
Check for tolerance stack on your mount screws, i.e., a too long screw in a too shallow hole.

First, Muddy Waters rules. Second, the NOE RCBS 30-180-FN @ 205 grs RTL works great in my SKS @1700 fps. Third, you couldn't pay me $100,000 to hunt the hogs in my woods with a 22 short!
Same here with no problems with bad or broken Burris scopes returned for repair. Only think I don't like is they are now made in the Philippines, and they don't have the disk-like covers. The...

JWFilips, this has me taking another look at my Turk. I have about 800 - 900 Lyman 323471 bullets @ ~220 grs Ready To Load. As the photo below shows they shoot very well indeed @ ~ 1600 fps. When...

When the hoarders start unloading their stashes we can expect lots of improperly stored powder to hit the gun shows. I won't buy it for $1 a lb.

Conclusions:
(1) My SKS's 1 - 9.5 twist doesn't like MY ALLOY cast bullets @ over 1700 fps. Velocity must give circa 120,000 rpms or less. My alloys are wheelweights and reclaimed shot. ...

Another vote for the Lee Perfect. I can't believe how much I like this cheap and cheap looking measure!

I had h e double l getting the 5D sight on my SKS adjusted after moving the sight as mentioned in article #3. But it's zeroed and the 204 gr NOE + 1.8cc s4895 just shot a 3-shot, 50 yard group of 2...

The COAL = 2.164". 1.9cc of my s4895 = ~ 25 grs. A FL-Resized case will hold 1.9cc with an original RCBS 30-180-FP, but it is heavily compressed. Even with a heavy crimp, I would be afraid the...

I'll also take a two cavity with a Hunter band. Is there a chance of getting a HP option?

Put me down for a 5-cavity original design.

There is--with a camera. I've seen many photos of jacketed bullets in flight. Exactly none of a cast bullet in flight.

Another great mold, Al!! I cast my first batch with this mold yesterday. Alloy was reclaimed shot. AV weight = 199.6; AV diameter = .3115". AV Ready To Load weight = 203.56 grs. That's with...

It would be nice to see high-speed photos of cast bullets at different, increasing velocities at maybe 2 feet from the muzzle. I wasted many hours and many bullets trying to understand why my Turk...

I've had three heart attacks starting at age 39. But here I am at age 71 still alive. The key to staying alive is this: take your prescribed medication and exercise, even if it's mild exercise. You...

You don't need a tapered top band when the nose is a perfect, snug fit on top of the lands. The bullet when shot is perfectly parallel to the bore.
PS: The 168 has (1) a semi-pointed nose vs a FP...
