Products I use Everyday, Hand-loading, and Varmint Shooting

products I use

In this section I’ll talk about the shooting, hand-loading, and varmint equipment I use on a daily bases.

 

Hiperfire and their “Hipertouch 24” adjustable trigger for the AR15/10

I just didn’t have the time to get my AR working like I wanted until right before the trip.  The trigger pull was really bad and the accuracy wasn’t very good.  I picked up a trigger at the Shot Show from “Hiperfire” that ended up being the best thing I could have done.  It’s called a Hipertouch 24 adjustable trigger for the AR15/10.  It’s user adjustable by changing 3 sets of 2 springs.  One set about 2 lbs, next set about 3 lbs, and the last set at around 4 lbs.  I used the 2 lb set; I might change to the 3 lb set because it’s so good it might be a little light for an AR.  It only took me about 10 minuets to change it out, but I was an Army Armor for a short time.  I just read direction and looked at their website at: hiperfire.com.

 

The other problem I had was accuracy.  It’s a Remington R15 that the Upper to Lower fit left a little to be desired.  At the gun show right before I left I pick-up an “Accu-wedge”  That is nothing more that a small piece of rubber that tightens the fit by installing it under the back takedown pin.  My groups came down to a half to three quarters of an inch.

 

 

 

Using Stainless Steal media to clean my brass

[

Finally sprung for a bigger Stainless Steel tumbler, a Frankford Arsenal from Amazon.  I just had to much brass to do.  When I go on a prairie dog shoot I usually shoot 200 + rounds a day; brass stacks up real fast.  The first load I did was over 500 pieces of three different kinds of brass, only took an hour.  I used 1/4 teaspoon of Lima-shine and 1 tablespoon of Palmolive dish soap with the 5 pounds of media and a gallon of water.  In the instructions they say don’t exceed 30 pounds total, mine was 25 pounds, not a problem.

Frankford stopped putting in their bottle of brass cleaning solution, don’t need it.

The biggest reason I went to SS media is too keep my XL 650 clean.  I do all of my annealing, sizing, cleaning, and prepping on my brass First.  When I start I have what I call “New Used Brass”.  I don’t worry about getting my case feeder covered in case lube, lube getting too my primers, or getting the lube off of loaded rounds.
