I took the new .308 out today and mounted a new scope. Got an approximate zero at 50 yards, then immediately attacked the 300 yard plate like it was attacking me (complete with tactical reloads and diving for cover). Set up paper at 100 yards and shot a group using Russian Wolf steel-cased 145gr FMJ that I purchased from Sportsman's Guide for $.34/round shipped.

I see no reason to reload when I can get MOA or better out of cheap Russian ammo. You reloaders are cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

I agree no one should reload.
More for me.
You missed the square

Little advice, don't ever sell that gun, period.

The only reason I took a picture this time is to include it with the listing when I put it in the NDA classifieds and Bisman.

This is indicative of my analysis of your general approach to problem solving:



There is an entire generation of frontline craftsmen that are blessed you didn't become an engineer of any sort.

The video would been a lot better if he had hooked an arm through the steering wheel and shifted both at the same time.

I'm on to you..... Bw had about 10000000 rounds of Russian ammo. He walked to Target polked target with tactical pencil and is now selling said ammo for a 37.9%markup which is to find his reloading addiction.

Is that all?

This is what a reloader can do. 6 different charges. The worst group was .450.

It wasn't a fluke:

So what you're saying is, all i have to do is buy:
- powder
- primers
- bullets
- brass
- a press
- case prepper
- dies
- scale
- micrometer
- case lube
- priming tool
- tumbler
- tumbling media

and then
- deprime
- resize
- measure
- trim
- tumble
- prime
- fill
- weigh
- seat

every single bullet...

...and i can shrink my groups by .3"? WHERE DO I SIGN UP?! My life has been wasted!

Touché, but I bet you can't do that consistently with your cheap commie ammo.

Honestly though, that's some pretty stellar shooting, and it's the same reason I don't bother to reload for my 556. The cheap American Eagle rounds shoot too good.
