LoL!!!! Funny for now......

My heart sunk when I read that, Weaponizer.... I hope there were no debilitating after effects. There is a guy I know he probably going on 60 soon. Didn't take care of himself, whenever I saw him he was always red in the face, unnatural looking, BP was probably through the roof. He had a stroke a few years ago. Really screwed him up and he is in a wheel chair and can't really even talk well at all. He had another stroke recently, still alive for now..... Yeah the news SUCKS!!!! I don't think he is a traitor. Because to be a traitor you had to be a citizen at one time in the first place. He is enemy of the state and always has been..... Now we are enemies of the state.... The Clinton's, Bush's, Emanuel's and all those f'rs around them you can think of, now they are traitors..... Fkg Holder, etc., and now Fkn Justice Roberts, WTF!!!!

I forgot to lube one case and F'd up the deprimer/neck sizing rod. Wasted the threads the neck sizer thingy where it screws onto the rod/shaft thing. Was the low end RCBS die anyway. Guess what!!!! UPS did drop something off this afternoon <thumbsup>

My prayers to all of you involved there. This is very disturbing.

They are all Marxist scum and should be hung!! I hope for the best but fear the worst..... And I can't believe Justice Roberts did what he did yesterday, WTF???? <dontknow> We are quickly being subverted into communism or the NWO or whatever the plan is. I fear if the Obaman's believe they are going to loose in November then someting is going to happen to make sure that election doesn't happen

I just got back from the market & a package from Midway was at the front door..... Gotta go!!!!! :banana:

I can see the logic in your purchase, brother Weaponizer, but wholly cow, I can't believe the trouble you went too to display all of those <lmao>

seasprite, yes this should be fun to compare. It would be awesome if UPS shows up today with the new equipment. I will not shoot again until we get the chrono. I have been to the range only three times since I got the scope & once went camping in the mountains & shot too 200 yards. Sometimes I can get up too three holes in paper touching from 100, with two holes off, always trying 5 round groups, various charges (mostly 43.5 gn) with IMR 4064, all 168 gn A-MAX, SMK & Nosler Ballistic Silver Tip. The Nosler's I haven't had real success with yet but the others show great promise. Now the scope is a USO 1.5-6x28 FFP w/JNG reticule MOA/MOA. The reticule thickness isn't exactly great for precision and I bet I can do better with some fine cross hairs. I have a new SS 1-6x24 HD FFP mil/mil coming in I hope soon. The specs on that reticule looks to be finer lines, we'll see how it works. I know, still not ideal for precision being a 6x and all. I'm using a JP Enterprises JP EZ single stage trigger, in my gun it has a crisp 4.5 lb break. I was working up some loads with 168 gn A-MAX with the CFE 223 when I screwed up the RCBS sizer die. Ordered replacement parts, they came yesterday and are wrong. Can't load until new Forster Ultra dies show up with the chrono. And that's okay, those new dies will be way better. The brass for these loads is old Winchester .308 shot out of a bolt action. They are tarnished and I have been cleaning them up to look like new, very time consuming but gives me lots of good brass.

seasprite, it's a 16" JP Enterprises Super Match Stainless, Cryogenic. And my brother in law showed up today at the house and we got to talking about everything. Short story is we both went halves on a new Forster Ultra 2 die set .308 Winchester & a PACT Professional XP Chronograph, we can hardly wait till the 3rd!!! Shipping from Midway.... That chrono has all the bells & whistles. Has tons of bullet types with their ballistics loaded into it, calculates trajectories, can hook up to lap top, etc., so no more shooting blind, pissing in wind... New dies should do us quite well too.....

<lmao> <laughs> <lmao> :o

So my bro in law showed up. Long story short we went halves on a new Forster Ultra 2 die set .308 Winchester $95., & a PACT Professional XP Chronograph $240. From Midway here by 7/3 <munch>

Hmmm I see what you mean brother 98'. I dunno did they make you pick the bugs out of their fur too? <lmao>

OMG <lmao> But I guess that explains it <thumbsup> good for you, 98'

Well thanks to this thread I picked up a pound of CFE 223 to try out. Somebody had some at Saturday gun show & I couldn't resist. I have a few hundred 168 Amax and am loading the rest of my on hand brass, about 50 pieces Winchester. Going with a starting charge of 47.3 gn CFE 223 for a few groups of 5, then a few 5 shot groups 47.5 gn, then same groupings 47.7, 47.9 & 48.1 gn CFE 223. See what happens should be fun... No chrono though so, so I really want one. I sorted the Winchester cases for weight (spreads less than 1 gn each group) & am seating to 2.800" average. I don't get consistent C.O.A.L.'s all the time. I have not learned yet if it's the equipment or components. Primers are Remington #9 1/2. Thanks for the good idea seasprite, I am intrigued.

Has cool wife ;)

Ding Dang, 98', whatcha gonna do with all them thar uppers?

Oh yeah I just ordered from Midway 2 new RCBS Replacement Expander-Decapping Units for the RCBS FL .308 sizing die. I just messed up the original one. Got some replacement decapping pins too.

Still waiting for SS 1-6x24 HD glass to ship. Maybe July? I know not.... I need more brass. Went to gun show over weekend and no .308 brass at all, not even crappy brass... I did get a new 36" Voodoo soft rifle case for $80. It is pretty nice with lots of pockets and will accommodate two carbines & a few handguns or whatever. Got some CFE 223 powder to try also. Got a few other things, a few new Pmags. I think I have to order some new .308 brass online, none around here. Thinking about Lapua but maybe I should just get the Winchester stamp but then again I want my cases weights to be consistent and last long time, so Lapua, Nosler maybe <dontknow>

This :bat:

That's great. And I've heard good things about the SS 3-9. I am in line for the new SS 1-6x. I already bought a used USO 1.5-6x28 because I didn't want to wait long for the SS, still waiting. But I was thinking maybe I'll trade the USO into SWFA for the new SS 1-6. Or I'll wait for the SS to arrive and compare the two, pick my favorite and move the other. I have a big feeling I'm going to really favor the new SS 1-6.

I WILL SICK MY PET GARGOYLES ON YOU ALL!!!!!! MUMUMUAHAHAHAHAHAHA........ <munch>

Nobody liked "The Gargoyle"? I'm shattered :'(

I'm going to a show on Saturday and will get ammo. Ammo components, that is, so I can do it myself. Mostly I want more brass because its hard around here to find brass. I hope they gots good brass in .308

Ugh!! I didn't find this thread before, it would'a helped me a lot when i was doing my upper build, same style hand guard and barrel nut like I have on mine. Good thread from long ago, Matt <thumbsup>
