    I Need To Do A Clean Up Reloading Day

    I have way too many odds and ends bullets of different calibers. Like less than 50 of about 20 calibers.

    Not me anymore, it seems like every time I get to the range it has been picked clean...

    And what little I do get I usually end up sending to gandog

    Load data for what? Just use any recipe for 150 grain bullets. I doubt they will even light off, anyways.

    Same data even though the bullet is almost half again as long? I tried 43gr of IMR4064, which is the min listed load for a 150gr FMJ and it's a severely compressed load. Think they're still safe to shoot being that compressed?

    All I've ever loaded them with was like 40 some grains of H4895. It didn't compress the powder.

    Eh, I've got 10 loaded up at 43gr IMR4064... I'll try them out when I get a new scope for the 308, the one that was on it died last week... I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap scope...

    I had a cheap NC Star on my Saiga AK type .223. It was working great. Then one day, it was shooting way off, and I couldn't even adjust it back on. I mean stupid thing couldn't even handle .223 recoil?

    This one was a sightmark, I have all of the RMA info, just need to print the form and send it in. It held up to something like 700 rounds of 308, so for a cheap scope it wasn't that bad...

    The replacement scope will probably go back on it until I can scrounge up the money for a vortex.

    I got a Pentax Game Seeker II. Haven't mounted or sighted it in yet.
