Well I have a lee press, not sure what the model is but it seems to just hit top dead center and thats it. I guess I need to see this in action to understand fully. It is hard for me to understand because I load .45 acp by the thousands and they go bang every time. Same with .30-06.

Question 1). BCG and barrel matched? same make? or were parts just slapped together 2). Reloads? or factory? COL? 3). Full length sized? or Neck? 4). Virgin brass? or new to you? Answer 1. Model 1 sales varmint kit gun with predator custom shop lower reciever. 2. I shoot both. most of the time fresh...

I have a lyman dps3 dispenser/scale and it works great on anything from .204 to .500 mag to .30-06. So far I have no complaints with it. Accurate and fast.

Hey guys I have a problem with misfires/bolt not closing completely on my AR. I took it to a gunsmith and he told me that I need to shoot about 100 rds through it and not clean it. He said the residue will help lap/break in the lugs on the bold face and reciever so that the bolt will lock up every t...

I was deer hunting actually during rifle season here in east tennessee. My .30-06 was giving me problems this year and it is legal to deer hunt in TN with any centerfire rifle now. The next best rifle I have is the .204 so I used it this year.

Here is my first coyote ever and I was lucky enough to have the Model 1 Sales .204 in the blind when he came out at about 100 yds.

Well guys I really appreciate your advice and I am definatley going to be looking into some different dies. I have been using RCBS full length dies. It seems the problem is that even when i size the brass the diameter of the shoulder is wider than factory brass and I believe that may be why the once...

I have been trying to reload some .204 ammo for my Model one sales AR-15 in .204 ruger. I have been very succesful with using new brass but I recently tried some loads using my once fired brass. I use a RCBS full length die set and it seems that the brass has been fire formed and the base of the cas...

Hey guys, I just got a brand new burris fullfield 2 tactical scope zeroed in and I need a better trigger to get the most out of my .204. It is an ar-15 and I know that there are a lot of drop in triggers out there and I know you can lighten the pull with some different springs. I was just wondering ...

It is a 24'' barrel to answer your question. I was also wondering if anyone has tried to put in a lighter trigger and hammer spring to lighten the trigger pull weight. I can tell that it is pretty heavy now and I heard that this is a cheaper alternative to buying a $200 drop in trigger. I have got a...

Hey guys, I just got my model 1 sales .204 AR in last week and I have finished getting it all put together. I'm sure that its gonna be a sweet shooter I just need to find a good scope/ring combo for it and I am definately interested in getting a bipod. Anyone had any experience with the versa pod? T...

When you say I need to create more neck tension do you mean that I need to crimp the bullet into place? I have encountered feeding problems in the past with automatic pistols and uncrimped ammo. I also thought that I could load some ammo that is seated long and some that is seated to work in the mag...

I have ordered an ar in .204 from model 1 sales. I am curious if any of you guys have any suggested brass, bullets, die sets or whatever that will produce reliable and accurate ammo that will cycle well in an AR. I am sure some of you have been doing this for years and know a lot of tricks. As for m...

Thanks for all of your help guys. I am going to go to bass pro shops just to give some of these scopes the actual eyeball test. After all everyone shoots a little bit different and people have their own preferences. I like something that is really clear with a good reticle that doesn't split off and...
