Im time limited of load development (lazy and my retired parents just bought a house/farm 4 miles from me) so Im in that boat of wanting to stay with loads Ive worked up over the years rather than...

While Im a retired service rifle guy that loves a 2 stage trigger, the best trigger for the money is palmettostatearmory's enchanced trigger - they were $30 of sale last weekend. they're plated and I...
I second this! Ive tried lots of carry methods over 25 years and an ankle holster is the worse if youre active

Thanks for the replies! That's what makes this the best shooters board out there! I ordered some 231 and h110. My dad has decided hes not going to shoot much anymore so he gave me 2 pounds of varget...
I love mine! seems to shoot every thing in 45LC from 200 -300 gr. the Lee 200gr bullets make for a very soft shooting load.

Ive been reloading a bunch lately and noticed my stock of Varget, Win231, H110 is getting low - especially the 231 and Varget. Ive hit the usual suspects online sellers including a few Id sworn off...

I have an M1A Roland Beaver did for me as well...double lugged it at the time. It was a bear finding a good load for it - lots of swapping gas pistons, but finally got her settled down...Ah, the...
I really like his H110 loads, BUT you will want a better set of grips to shoot them! (At least that's the route I went). I, too found Unique at around 10gr. to be a solid performer.

I have found the 261 to be one of the MORE reliable conversions - 22LR conversions generally do fine if clean and lubed...They get nasty quick with suppressors and they will drive you CRAZY when you...

I have sold and built more AR's than I care to count, I would say keep it until theirs another panic or the babies need shoes. Now if you had started with premium parts and had scary accurate groups...

Another reason I need a good dividing head! baffles seem a pain to turn. I think I'd go mono core and mill it though Ive not seen that done well with anything but 22lr cans.
I like Lee's 200 grainer with 10.5 grains of unique for smoke and no recoil. My most accurate is Mihec 270 gr with 24gr of H110 which is stout. the lee 300gr GC Bullet is a handful with 24gr of H110...

Don't waste your $ on Gen 1. Gen 2+ can have unexpected GREAT images. I have 1 set of PVS-7's that has a 78lp/mm resolution tube and Signal to noise ratio at the lower gen 3 end. Awesome images and...

We've never moved past H110 and Lee's 120 GC bullet - works great in the 2 carbines we shoot. still using up tumble lubed, Lyman #2 alloyed bullets with GC's, sized .309. have several PC'd but My son...

He's spraying a ton of PC on those boolits...way more powder than I use! His results look good though.

I need to try the block method for spacing. Right now I'm using 4 racks 'rigged' up from scrap steel or the racks that came with the oven with hardware cloth over them. The racks get buff sanded...
Hmmm...too many guns...for round count I'd have to say G-34. Ive got one I quit counting rounds on after 80K, I did crack a slide on one once, and yes you have to replace barrels and springs...
Bob, That's always the issue I had overseas - got to be faster than the slowest 20 something! Sadly the slowest would be my Dad, followed by then to be 2 year old...So I'll have to stick it out.
