There seems to be several groups in Ft Wayne operating independently. I know we all have a common goal, but the real questions is this... Having seen other groups attempt to combine forces (sort of speak) and then fall apart because of politics, power struggles, or just plain stubbornness, is...
175 watts for 40 miles doesn't sound very good to me. Just yesterday I managed 25 miles mobile-to-base on 12 watts on lower sideband (Galaxy 959 w/ 5' FireStick) On my Imax-2000 base antenna (38 feet to bottom of antenna) with the same radio, I can talk 40+ miles base-to-base regularly...
Lord No! This is not us. I was actually contact by the Discovery Channel to be apart of that show. We declined the offer, and based on the final product that came out, you can see why.
Actually, Arron is a little off on this. The only "Commanders" in the ISL are the 2 State officers at the very top (CO and XO), which are currently vacant. All other officers and positions of importance are "Leaders". The reasoning behind this classification is that we expect our "Leaders" to...
Range Report: The Lake City brass that I purchased earlier in the week solved all of my problems! I have no issues with cycling or ejecting. Accuracy has improved greatly! The rifle is now shooting around 3/4 MOA. I think I can improve upon that with better reloads. I was shooting so well...
So I broke down and bought 500 pieces of Lake City brass. I'm seeing a difference already. The Cavim is heavier than the Lake City. And the Cavim seems to be stickier in the FL resizer die. I've got the first 50 rounds loaded and I'll fire them off this weekend.
Now that I've read these replies, I do remember loading IMR 4895. Looking back through all of my reloading notes, 15+ years worth, every attempt at reloading Cavim, I've had some issue. I've been shooting so much factory non-reloadable through it that I'd forgotten how many problems I've had...
Yeah, I just saw this too. Can't say that I'm terribly surprised to read this story.

Not that my set up matters too much, but I have an old power dump that my dad used 30-40 years ago. I have it set to throw about 1 grain below what I want for my final charge, then I trickle in the last grain or so. I'm also using a 40+ year old beam scale (Lyman M5) that was a hand-me-down...
A bunch of years ago, I use to buy Cavim ammo. I have piles of Cavim brass now, but it seems that no matter what bullet/powder/charge combination I try, I have major ejection and accuracy issues with my M1A.
I've tried BL(c)-2, IMR 4064, and IMR 3031 powders. I've loaded Hornady 150 FMJ's...
