chronograph- best for money?
L Cazador replied to BeardownAZ's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I tried to leave message on your personal message box. I have an Oehler 35P with printer on a 4 foot bar. If interested respond to my private message box. -
Nice! Congratulations!

You may want to know if he's a sipper or a mixer. You don't want to mix the good stuff but people do. Let me recommend a Mescal with a slight bit of smokiness, Gonzalez 1939 and for the price it's awesome, $80.

What do I have?
L Cazador replied to My Rights As An American's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Other than the 209 shotshell primers which could also have been used for a muzzle loader, I don't see anything shotgun related. You have a distressed rifle or handgun reloading set. Some of it very distressed! Clean it up with some steel wool and WD40 and it might become useful. Where did you get the idea it was a shotgun set up? -
Powder tricklers and measures?
L Cazador replied to BeardownAZ's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
It's a personal preference more than anything. RCBS Lite is good to +or- .01 grains and a balance scale is slightly less depending on quality. A two poise balance scale is most accurate but most balance scales aren't accurate to less than .02 grains. I had my balance scale calibrated and accurized by Scott Parker and I was amazed at the accuracy after. For my competition rifles I drop load with RCBS Lite, weigh on my FX-120I, and trickle with Dandy powder trickler. That combo renders loads to +or- .001 grains. -
Couching requested. Shooting fundamentals
L Cazador replied to motzauce1991's topic in Long Range Shooting
Horizontal groups may be aided by moving the bullet into the lands till they become vertical. But horizontal groups may also be due to wrong powder selection or powder charge. Wind could also be causing your horizontal spread. If you're not using wind flags, I suggest you start doing so. Even on days with what looks like "no wind" there's wind especially at 3 points shooting range. -
no!!

Nobody makes ammo for PRCW. It's a custom cartridge built by Wheeler. But you could fire a factory 7mm PRC in it and fireform the brass. Understand that the Wheeler version is merely a change in the leade angle, the throat length, and I think Wheeler has the 35 degree shoulder. I've long been intrigued by doing a 1.75 leade angle. I think it engages the ogive better with the longer bullets than the default 1.5". I'm doing one on my 300 Norma mag. , 35 degree, this fall for 1K benchrest. Another Wheeler cartridge.

The difference between the Wheeler version is probably the leade angle, 35 degree shoulder, and throat length. So you should be able to fire factory ammo in it. Alex won't release the actual specs for his reamer. Holding for his customers only. I'm going to assume his version is a 1.75 degree leade with a longer throat for longer bullets.
-
So were you able to get the reamer with Alex Wheeler's throat and leade angle? JGS?

Why don't you post your own pics?

Original butt pad? Any iron sights? I believe those came with front and rear sights.

You may want to post ad at one of the local trap and skeet clubs.

You may want to check Gunbroker for a model 29-10, 44 magnum, 8 3/8 inch barrel. If you're not wanting to invest in a collector's piece you may want to look at the model 29-10. This is one of the most recent model 29's. The model 29 started with no dash (first generation) with the 29-3 (third generation) being the most popular. The current generation is also made in stainless.

Did you try the Berger 168g hunting bullets? I think the 175g Berger has been discontinued.
