Re: Varget and Lapua brass? I use 44.6 Varget, 175 SMK, 3 thou off the lands, Lapua brass. It is on the warm side...but accurate. (24" Savage 308 FCP-10) CCI & GMM primers still ok after 4-5 firings/ snug. Win primers seem "looser" going into the primer pockets. A good long range load. I'm...

Re: ballistic programs After posting...its not a fair question to Sierra. I'll work things out. It seems to do all I need. More rounds down range & less thinking...! Thanks
Re: Max profile for Savage barrel installed with nut. I have a new Savage FCP-10-K, and it does not have a "nut" but a cone. It needs a special tool to remove. The factory says it works the same way ( & is the same size) as the old one. My reply was--"If its not broke , why did you try & fix...
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun I did several things to fix the problem. I reloaded the "problem" brass, adjusted the full sizing die, and seriously cleaned each rd. The problem, solved it was.....
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun Today, 44 Varget worked fine & got best groups of the day...24" barrel, app. 2710-2715 fps. (43.4 was app 2682 fps.)
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun I found about (6) of the problem rds with 44 Varget & not as clean. I'm going to clean them with alcohol & see what happens.If it fixs the problem-it was lube. If not- it was the sizing die & dropping the load to 43.5gr.
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun Just got in from the range. I loaded the problem cases with 43.5 & 43.3 Varget, adjusted the sizing die, and was "anal" in cleaning each rd with 90% alc. Could have been I didn't get all the DP spray lub off the rds. Whatever fixed it-worked...
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun Unknown if fired thru semi automatic. Police brass...assumed to be SWAT team once fired. I am friends with the Range Officer working with them.
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun 175 SMK, with 44gr Varget = 2699 and settled after breah-in at app 2749fps. GMM factory =2749 to 2743 with slightly more noticable recoil.
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun New factory GMM works jusr fine. After firing brass, that was a problem, was within limits , or should not be too long for the chamber. (I measured everything.)I will measure bases to see if larger than factory on problem rounds. Base screws...
Re: 308 rd hard to extract from chamber..bolt gun I checked the chamber & length of fired cases. All were in spec. Rds were wiped but not cleaned with carb cleaner/degreaser. Maybe a spray-job is in order. Brass was not fired out of my weapon, but was resized. What was weird was that some...
I reloaded GMM once fired brass with 44 Varget-sorted by weight. Some extracted fine. 2/3 were very hard to pull bolt to the rear.I had to drive oe hit the bolt HARD to the rear to get rd to extract. Case lengths , chamber length, OAL of rd all GTG with all loads. Is there a problem with the...
Re: primers everywhere!! Powder Valley is GTG. It's just how your luck is when you call. They are out of Varget & GMM large rifle primers...yesterday, PM.
