Congrats... Now get to WalMart

I watched the 1st Episode of Survivor to check it out... I fall out laughing everytime i see this chick named SHAMBO (Shannon mixed with Rambo)

I will give him double his money back ) Here is one, I think Colt Peacemaker 22 LNIB : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

Awaiting the "in good condition" Jaguar craigslist ad... "new Interior, female driven"

When I get the Comparator (will be here 9/25) I will pick your brain on the measurements that I get. I will keep an eye out for pressure signs... I have only loaded loads to the "start" powder amount so far. The primers look good.. I did shoot a few "buddy hand loads/ max loads" and the primers would pancake... no more of those for me . Many thanks!

Nice looking Ruger Congrats

Thanks for the words of wisdom Hidaglo I am going to order the comparator today... If/when, I have more time I will upgrade my reloading equipment. When I started out to reload .308, it was in hopes of cutting down my cost. The gun likes Federal Gold Medal Match factory ammo but my wallet does not So far, with my first two batches of reloads I think I have met my goal, thus far. I have the same or better (.27 MOA best with reloads) results with my loads when compared to FGMM. I wont be hunting so I will only be punching paper at 100 & 200 yrds for the time being. I am glad to see that there are experienced reloaders here on TGO (such as yourself)...it cuts down on my search time Let me ask you (yall) this... I dont have the comparator but I have measured the OAL (base to tip) using the gauge. I loaded the gauge into the chamber... used the gauge adjustment to feed the bullet into the chamber until I felt the bullet make contact with the lands. I use a cleaning rod down the barrel to make sure that there was not any "slack" in the gauge/bullet. I came out with a 2.84 OAL with a 168 Matchking bullet (Lee manual has Min OAL of 2.80). Am I correct in thinking that I will still need to measure to from base to tip to make sure that my loads will fit & feed in to the magazine? Measuring with the comparator would give me a better measurment for making each load match the next??? When the Lee load manual list a 2.80 OAL should I use that data for base to tip or base to ogive using the comparator?

I have others and have sold off even more... but my all time favorite is my Ruger M77 All Weather .243 in the Ruger skeleton stock. It is topped with an old Leupold MkII 2-7x scope.

I hope to upgrade to the Redding Type S die set as listed above. I picked up the Hornady OAL gauge. I now realize that I need to pick up their "Comparator". Or, maybe this type of set up is just "snake oil"? "Measuring cartridge lengths across the bullet tips is not a reliable (or repeatable)method for measuring your loaded rounds. It’s common for variations of up to .025" (0.6mm) to exist from one round to the next. Our Bullet Comparator solves that problem by measuring rounds from a reliable surfaceon the bullet– the ogive– to provide consistent, precise measurementsof your rounds. The Bullet Comparator is also used to check uniformity ofbullets from base to ogive"

Thanks for the advice bigshot. i picked up an OAL gauge yesterday to take out some of the guess work, i hope.

I am a fan of the 243 so i say stick with it...

Man the stock is kickass Eric. Thanks for letting me test drive a round today. Very solid feeling rifle you have.....congrats.

I dont call it "lost money" I call it an entertainment tax....sounds more Obamaicly correct that way.

Amen to that!!!!

I like tha tlook too Jhatmaker... Looks like a JAE stock on that one.

Looks real nice Eric congrats

So no non-racist here?

Nice kittah! Glad that she found a good home )

I'd trust Jahatmaker he posted a pic of a wounded mole a few days ago. It looked like it was on deaths door for sure.

Proof of ownership? Why did she have to prove that to get a permit?
