reloading

i need a faster powder.... an available faster powder.... he he... i hear the laughing! I have a GPS def rem700 18" .308.. awesome gun. moa at 300yds! but my velocity on the 175 smk is slow.... about 110fps less from load spec Varget has a near 2700fps load.. but it is a compressed load. I...

What avg. velocity are you running with 168 SMK and Varget on a 308 AR. Or I guess what would be a good spot to stay around if the load had acceptable accuracy? I was testing out some loads and about the max I could get was 2640. I couldn't find a lot of info regarding AR 308 loads on here. I...

I am pretty happy so far with the reloading results I am getting. I shot a 3 round group of .21 " (center to center) @ 200 yards today. ( Yes, this is my current best)I loaded a 168 SMK with 42 grains of IMR 4064 in LC brass and a LR Win Primer. I was then shooting 1 shot dots at 200 and was...

I have got a couple reloading books and not all of them have the specific bullet I want to load in it. Im waiting on the Sierra load book in the mail cuz that mostly what I shoot and im sure they have all the bullet types in it. My question is if you have a bullet like a Barnes .223 62gr. M/LE...

Hello all. This is my first time posting and joined the site primarily for getting some reloading info. I'm new to this reloading thing and have purchased most of what I've been told I need. Just want any input from the pro's on what else I may need. I've listed what I go below. Any info is...

If a bullet is reloaded .007" into the lands will that create more pressure or less. (will it even be significant). Also, the people which push the bullets up that far, do they have trued actions and barrels in order to get away from the "jump" of the round going off? Thankyou all in advanced

Anyone have some subsonic recipes for 175-180gr subsonics?

1. I have (stupid idea here). Any recommended laods for the 408 with it? I am shooting 420 grain Rocky Mtn bullets, both hunting and target. The only other powders I have handy are for 308 and 260 (IMR 4064) H414 and Win 748....assume no loads for those... 2. I have the ammomaster-2 .....which...

Just ranting, nothing really useful in this post.... Doing a favor for a guy and loading up more .416 remington mag ammo for him. He gave me the dies and shell holder, brass and bullets and all I had to do was load 'em up. Fortunately I had some large rifle mag primers lying around or he...

Does anyone have one of those nifty illustrations of the SAAMI specs for the 6.5x47 Lapua. I think I have a shoulder issue, I am getting a stiff bolt close, and the bolt is "pop" when I lift the bolt, just past the begining of the cam. I am using Forster Dies, and have it screwed all the way...

I get sub-moa down to 1/4" groups at 100yrds all day with a Remington 62gr Premier Match ammo in my AR-15(custom built). I am new to reloading and am trying to find a 62gr Match HP bullet I can use for reloading. I cant seem to find any manufacturers that make them. It shoots 52gr.factory ammo...

Just dropped a bunch of cash on reloading equipment from Midsouth. The only thing I have left to get is dies, headspace guage, and bullet comparator(sp?). I've read through the Hornady and Sierra reloading manuals and watched the RCBS reloading DVD, did a search here and still have a couple...

Has the fear of being sued effected reloading manuals? I bought today a new Sierra manual Version 5 4th printing and some of the "maximum" loads looked a bit light to me. I checked my Version 2 (1978) Sierra manual and for the same bullet (SMK 168) and same powder (RL15) there is 1.5 grains...

Shooters, this is a non-aligned professional bump for CheyTac's new 338 Lapua brass, made by Jamison International. I've tested this brass and saw some of the high pressure testing done on these cases. They are superior to anything out there. Including Lapua's brass. Jamison has a solid handle...

Does anyone know of an MS Access based template for keeping reloading records? Other shareware/freeware?

Or should I say constructive comments welcome... never the less; This is my proceedure for loading the best possible quality/accuracy oriented ammunition I can produce. It starts from the moment I remove the fired casing from the chamber an inspect the brass as well as wipe off whatever carbon...

I thought I would put this question out since many of you seem to have AIAW in some fashion. How tight is the chamber ? My understanding is that it is built to shoot pretty much anything that the military hands out. That being said, would it be considered a match chamber in a sense ...

I just ordered a lawton 7000 la for a 6.5x284 build. I am putting on a benchmark barrel in 8.5twist at either 28" or 30". what i am looking for is some good load data. you guys always seem to through in this department so let me know what works in your rifle. thanks scott

I just checked & Widener's Reloading and Shooting has all primers...WOLF MFG....in inventory.

I have some RCBS and some Redding dies. I am getting ready to buy some dies for 6.5 grendal. What manufacturers dies turn out the best ammo? Is there a company better than others?
