  1. This is a brand new scale. As you see in the photo I have a couple of beam scales that I normally use for my reloading. I wanted a digital scale so that when I trickle my powder out that I would have a more accurate and repeatable load. I Re-calibrated the scale using there weights and methods and it was off even more, I Re-calibrated and played with it for an hour. It just started drifting and never stopped. This thing is going in the trash. I think that I will go over to dillon at lunch and buy the one they have advertised in the blue press. I have used that a lot in the past and have been happy with the performance. (My dad’s Scale).

     

    thanks


  2. wow , nice job guys. I think that you solved that problem. I have attached pic of my dads old scale with the powder an bullet. the powder came out to 71 grains and the bullet come out to 165 grains. so all the loading that I have been doing is all wrong. I need a good scale at a reasonable price any recommendations? still doesn't make sense the bullet was off by 5 grains and the powder was off by 2.5 grains.

    thanks

  3. I was planning on doing a full length sizing and then let it fire form for the next. Yes I am using magnum primers. The cases are once fired. No case trimming. Accurate 4350 powder. I got it by mistake, I did not know that other powder manufactures have powder with the same number “3450”. Yes IMR not IMS.

    thanks


  4. The tip got smashed when I took it apart. My barrel length is 24” and the velocity is 3200 fps. I will put the bullet back on a different scale and see what I get. My first goal was to make up a hunting load out to 600 yards. Than the more I read on here I might be able to get out to 1000 yard with good groups ( I would not shoot at animal at that distance). But it would be fun to shoot that far. The first thing I did was load up some sierra 180 grins. Soft point boat tail. Using A3450 64.0, 64.5, 65.0, 65.5 and 66.0grns. 5 of each and took out and shoot them. At 100 yards I got 4-5 inch groups. Not good. My second group was load up with some Berger 168 grins. VDL. Using A3450 64.0, 64.5, 65.0, 65.5 and 66.0grns. 5 of each and took out and shoot them. At 100 yards I got 4-5 inch groups. I took some of my old favorite green tip loads and shoot them at 100 yards under an inch group. Maybe I need more powder? (I was at cabelas and I saw 3450 so I bought 2 pound, not knowing that everyone made a 3450. I wanted IMS-3450). My bad. thanks for the help


  5. Along time ago I bought my first 300 win mag and the nice man gave me what I thought was a life time supply of hand loads. I am hooked on these loads, but I don't know what they are and I would like to figure out what they are? so I have attached photos below. Please help if you can.

     

    thanks

  6. Looking for a Leica CRF rangefinder. I would like to do some long range shooting and need a rangefinder that will do that. I currently have a rangefinder that I use for archery but will not go out past 400 yards. Anyone interested in selling one please P.M me and tell me what you have and how much. Thanks
