That's odd, the autodisk that I bought didn't come with that riser.Originally Posted by HoneyBadger
The code is 15offbullet
Check their In-Stock page for the most up to date info, but they have hundreds of boxes of most things (in 500rd boxes that is).

The riser came in a separate plastic bag as a part of the Lee Classic Turret Kit that I just bought. After looking closer, I don't need the universal charging die, I need the "Rifle charging die". I fixed it above.That's odd, the autodisk that I bought didn't come with that riser.

...of course, I could be totally wrong... I'm new at this game.
What kind of accuracy have you gotten out of their .223 FMJs?

I just started loading with their 55gr FMJs but using IMR 4895 I was getting less than 0.5" groupings at 50yds and iron sights. That was through my M&P15 with 16" 1:9 barrel and using a wobbly bipod (as in, definitely not a target rifle/barrel). But we shot through all ~260 rounds that I loaded from that 1lb of IMR 4895, so now I get to wait for my LGS to get more rifle powder in stock.The riser came in a separate plastic bag as a part of the Lee Classic Turret Kit that I just bought.

If I was using a scope, I'm sure those groups could have been better. The bullets are definitely FMJ's and not copper plated.
eta: And ahh, forgot you got the kit, didn't realize it came with the riser as well. And yes, the rifle charging die is what you need then!
No worries, I kind of figured I was wrong since I'm teh newb.
Why did you choose IMR 4895?

It was the only, and I kid you not, ONLY pound of powder that my LGS had on the shelf. They got 10lbs of Varget in-stock (had on order and I had them reserve 3lbs for me), but they sold them all out from under me.No worries, I kind of figured I was wrong since I'm teh newb.

Speaking of, haven't been there in a while, might swing by tomorrow on my way home and see if they have any new powders.
eta: Basically, I had 3 manuals that I wrote down all the listed powder recipes for 55gr bullets and IMR 4895 happened to be on that list, so I grabbed it.

Yeah, that's my plan when I visit the LGS this weekend... Take a list of acceptable powders and grab whatever I can.

I did the same thing when I got pistol powders, ended up with Win WST (for light .40 loads) and N340 (for expensive 9mm lol) and again, those were the only powders on my list. Hope someday they start getting more in-stock and keeping them in-stock so I can get other powders to try out.
Still working on the .260 Remington barrel in my MWS. 20" barrel, 1/9 twist, rifle length gas system, ar-10 carbine buffer system.
The 120 AMax bullets are what I've found on the cheap (locally), and the gun seems to shoot them well. I won't post the pics again, but sub-MOA for ten rounds straight.
The first load was with 36.8gr of Varget. This was enough to extract and eject reliably, but it wouldn't pick up the next round. It also wouldn't lock the bolt back on the last round.
Today, I shot with 37.2gr Varget. Same thing, only it came out a little bit faster (duh!). The MV today hovered between 2840-2850fps. It showed no pressure signs. im trying to get this gun to reliably cycle, but I don't want a small nuclear explosion to do it.
that being said, at what sorts of MV should I start worrying about over pressure?
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
200 rounds of 12 gauge.
Got my new turret all set up and reloaded my first round!
