Exactly what a friend of mine told me a few years ago when I asked. :) Word for word, and I think it makes me laugh every time I think of it. Generally as I am sizing bullets cast an hour earlier...

An item of similar interest is that the CBA now allows non-members to shoot in every postal match. It is a buck more than member per match/month, but a good way to try it out before or instead of...

Yep. There is a fixed amount that is allocated weekly that goes into the fun account. (About enough for lunch twice) It is sort of like an "allowance" that kids get for doing chores.

Moulds,...

I used to be good at questions like this. When I was a kid I guessed closest to how many jelly beans were in a quart jar. Maximum number of guns to fit in an average house of say 1200 square...

Like Pat, I actually hang out on both forums. What was said about upgrading the site being positive is in my opinion, one of the few things the CBA is actually working on to improve the entire...

OUCH. I am getting ready to go shoot the same model later this afternoon, you bet I will be looking at the edges and probably doing the same modification.

I typically go in short bursts of time too. I sort of adhere to the "play 60" thnig that is it our first lady or the NFL promotes? :)

I try to cast for 60 minutes, then each day or couple days I...

I don't mind ditching the dealer deal. Half the time I have found it better price to order through my wife's retail login anyway. I do love their wish list, I use it as a place to hold items I want...

Guessing hardball. (lyman #2 ish)

I was travelling through Colorado a couple of weeks ago and stopped at a LGS for a chat. After an hour, I decided to buy "something" because I liked the proprietor's setup and valued the time he...

I bet you could sell or trade a lot of that for lead pretty easy here.

I would be in.

Awesome pile! I am going to start with the smoke on the next one I get.

I need to make a few hundred more, the CBA Military rifle national tournament is getting close.

Keep at it. I just received one of the exact same moulds and had the same issues you are mentioning. I ended up breaking down and reading the break in directions that came with it and (Gasp)...

The Lee 6 cavity handles work great.

Hangfire, I have one of the 314299 moulds. PM me your address and I will send you some of the boolits to try.

Same here, for exactly the same reasons.

Interesting thread. Just a quick look at the CBA military records show the 300 YD issue sights groups are pretty respectable. 5 shots @ 2.348", and four 5 shot groups at 5.833" with iron sights. I...

Good response, and my recommendation would fall in line. I have been using 5744 for the last few years in 30-06, and .308 behind the 311299. Sized properly, it will definitely suit your needs at...

Recluse, I just sent your e-book home to my Kindle. Looking forward to reading it!

Picked up the Krag in front last night. When I got it home, set it next to the 03A3 I bought last year, I noted that the stocks were a lot alike. Small checkering difference is really it.
...

I use plastic cases meant for loaded .380 rounds to store lubed .30cal bullets. Works great, although probably not the most cost effective solution. I used to buy bullets from a guy that delivered...

You will enjoy the CD. I have it, and only wish it was in book form. It would make reading it constantly that much easier without sitting at the computer.

I am also a vote in favor of the...

Order placed and confirmation of shipping minutes later. Thanks!

I would also probably lean toward the two groove, or the one you like best then work up something that works.

I shoot two groove 1903A3 in CBA matches, and they do pretty well.
Mine likes the...

I noticed the same thing a bit ago. Hope it comes back up soon!
