    Hmmmmm.......

    What should the MAK go for? $600? The Glock is what it should be.

    Recipe Chick-fil-A Coleslaw

    Chop it till it's the size of sawdust, add too much liquid and sugar. Serve by the tablespoon, because that's all people eat anyway.

    III Percenters Club

    I knew what a 3%er was, but this group sounds like a Leo group that's competing with Oathkeepers. I doubt I'll ever be asked to disarm anyone other than myself.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    Like I said, I purchased I really old set of RCBS stuff, I got 2 manuals withit, one from '73 and 1 from '61. It had the press priming tool, but I did not get the large primer tube or seating pin. RCBS did not sell just those pieces, just the entire press priming set-up. I emailed them, was...

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    No, definitely not. I just want to increase my chances with a flat shooting sub moa round. This way, when I screw the pooch, I know who to blame.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    I picked 1000 of the bullets at 1/2 off, .17 bullet+.035 primer+.10 powder+ brass, so these are costing me what brass plinking ammo costs. My .223 dies are Lee. The didn't really start pressing a noticeable ring until loads heavier than the one I'll be using. I found a deal on someone's...

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    That's a good idea, loading at 24.1. I'm using irons out to 600 yards towards the end of January, so I'm not sure if I'll have any more time for load development between now and then. When I have a chance, I'll definitely do that. The first group with 23grs is decent too, there might be...

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    Like I said, I'm new to reloading. I've read how groups will tighten up, and then expand from my reading, but this is the first time I've seen it first hand. I've got three good possibilities, and think I'm going with 24.2 grs of Varget.

    The next target is much better. One may be a flyer or my fault, I wish I knew.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    Didn't look like a good way to start. Pmc bronze control- 1.63 23gr- .94, in the middle 23.2- 1.15 23.4- 1.67 23.6- 1.47 I was not very impressed at this point. I feel like I was a bit off, based on the test group, but I was hoping for better.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    This is my first semi-scientific approach to reloading. I've made a few before, but I was more doing it to teach myself. The load is 77gr Sierra TMK, CCI 400 small rifle primers, and Varget powder. The OAL is as long as I could make it and have it load in a magazine, 2.27". My test batch went...

    Night Sights

    Those are pretty quick also, and are better for precision shooting IMO.

    Night Sights

    James Yeager recommends those. I've tried someone else's, they were more quick than accurate. Good choice for a carry gun though.

    My 2016 War Horse Project

    Looks like a project. EBay is a good source for milsurp parts, if you find some individual pieces you can't bring back.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    I should be shooting tomorrow, I guess if the compressed load turns out to be the most accurate, then it doesn't matter. We will see.

    Dangerous brass that will hurt you

    What do you need to do your own annealing?

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    On the lighter loads, it's a faint impression. On the 24.8, probably a compressed load, you can see the indentation. The line of bullets on the left is the heaviest loading. They all felt about the same when pulling the handle down.

    77gr Sierra Tipped MKs

    @handloader and any other more experienced guys... I just loaded up 50 test loads, starting at 23grs and increasing .2 to 24.8 grs. The manual on 77gr smks goes between 22.5 and 25. There is a slight ring deformity on every bullet now, just under the polymer tip. From my understanding the tip...

    Guess that caliber

    Ink pin, I knew that bullet looked funny.
