200 308 brass--already SS tumbled---FL sized, corn cob tumbled, cleaned flash hole of media, primered with Federal 210. We have a 308 semi that gets hungry. Waiting to test SWTactical before we load in volume. Have powder and FMJ's ready to go just need recipe. We have a Varget recipe also, in case SWT fails us.

I have 22 if you need some. Have 19, 23, 25, and 26 also.

I loaded about 300 223 for the Montana. Finally find a great load with 75 Amax and Benchmark. Ran out of Benchmark.

Narrowed our load choices for the Desert Tech MDR. Items of note:
1. Very repeatable accuracy-we opted for the 20 inch barrel. The 308 bolt gun load may be too hot.
2. Unreal loud. The muzzle brake will clear the range.
3. Recoil is very acceptable.

Pistol practice went well. The Sig's like everything very clean. OTOH the FS Beretta eats dirt spits fire.

Took the 20 taper pic rail off my Borden and installed the 20 taper Harrells bases and mounted the NF Comp in the Harrells offset rings.

I have this same setup on my Farley and it really helps keep your face off the side of the stock. Helps keep your head square behind the rifle also which makes it easier to see the flags with the left eye

Sure looks nice.

Question. I am right eye dominant but right eye is fuzzy. If I had these offset rings and i snugged up tight to the stock would I be able to use left eye?
How far offset can you go?

Many thanks

I don't think it would put the scope over far enough to use your left eye.

They're listed as having a .399" offset

Thankyou Mr. B. I can snug up pretty far but cannot get that thin.

Thinking I gotta head to Utah and have the doc that did my left eye do my right. Truly can't be much worse and besides, in little while I will fail the drivers exam if I don't do something.

Checked the powder and accuracy of my auto press and will start pushing through 9's. Took out a tray of 2,000 so that will do for now.

Did a count of the 223 stash. Think I am gonna do some 855's, run that volume down to zero. Shooters World Tactical is producing the FPS and accuracy I like to see.

Loaded out our inventory of 6.8 bullets. If anyone comes across some under 95 gr bullets in .277 let me know.

We did some 308 testing last week and are ready to start volume loading. Objective is 300 hundred rounds end of this week.

I've not loaded anything in awhile. But, do have some empty brass. That bothers me when I have empty available brass. It needs filled .
