What you're describing seems like you're using too fine of a rear peep. Peep sights are faster in use than buckhorns, but not if you use a small target aperture.

The 11th has Garand loads listed on pages 551-553. 150-155gr, 168gr, 176-178gr. Its the same info as printed in #7, #8, #9 , and I'm guess #10 although I don't have that one.

Generator was pulled out a couple weeks ago and ran. Ran a couple days in Jan/feb. Battery tender shows green, enough fuel for a week if run 24/7 so we should be GTG .
If you're shooting them in an ar15, a GC base usually shoots better as it protects the bullet base as it passes over the gas port. I have the NOE 454-280-RF and their 454-307-RF molds.

The only reason I ever undo those nuts if when replacing the faucet. So, if they're so corroded that they don't want to come off easily drill into it and hit it with a chisel or punch to break the...

If it's already crowned I'd leave it alone. If not, generally I'll just do a 11 degree crown and leave a nice flat. I'd also make him a timed octagon muzzle thread cap for when the suppressor isn't...

Ever run across the "made in the USA with domestic and globally sourced parts" when the item is only a single piece with a sticker on it? Want to guess where the sticker was made vs the item?

There's also the Rock Island 22TMC rifle, rebarreled to 9mm. It comes in walnut stock and a tactical version. I'm good at spending other peoples money.

It can be done with an AR, but the barrel nut will be more or less captive. I had a 223 heavy barrel like that where you couldn't take the barrel nut off without removing the extension or turning...

I was hoping the annealing would do the trick for you. You don't suppose they sent a 8x56R or a 8x50 Lebel die mismarked as a 8x50R do you? Your chamber cast looks like a 8x50R which has more of...

I use mine as is for deer hunting with a 174gr Hornady. There are a lot of fakes out there, but your rifle should be marked as a #5 BSA or Fazakerley and have the lightening cuts on the receiver...

The one I had back in the early 90's was a non FFL gun. As much as I liked it I also couldn't hit squat with it. It was me and not the gun, as my buddy could shoot it well. So down the road it went.

Sounds like the non fireformed cases are hitting where the ring is. I see in your process outline that annealing the necks/shoulders was absent. Often when pushing back a shoulder on a case they...
