I would definitely take the 200gr Sierra Gameking over the 200 NAB. No doubt. Its cheaper, with a better BC (can't believe!), and does very well on game. People here use them in their 300WM's on Gemsbuck to great effect. However I use a 208gr A-max in my own little 22.5" 30-06 and am very...
Hi Guys. Just wondering what would be the perfect resize dimensions for a custom FL die on a long range 7x57AI? Some folks say 0.0025" resizing on all diameters of the chambering reamer print, others say 0.001" at the base and 0.0005" just below the neck. I am looking to use the FL die...
I have one of these actions that will arrive soon. My barrel for the 7mm will only be finished next year, but found a nice .30 cal barrel in rem varmint contour for a 30-06AI to shoot the 200-210 grainers. The original plan was to build the '06 on my Tikka action, but since my planned COAL...
Rob, I decided to turn necks in order to achieve a low ES (shooting out to 1000yds lately), theoretically at least. Plus my Lapua cases turned to 0.013" is thicker than unturned Norma brass that I used to have. Runout on fired cases vary between 0.0005" and 0.001". There is maybe one more...
QuietShootr, because I decided on 0.013" neck thickness and have already turned half my brass. 0.334" will give my theoretically zero neck tension. Maybe there is some kind of threshold where if you decrease the diameter past a certain point with a specific neck thickness it creates...
Yes I made sure the die was set up as good as I know how, with the die touching the shell holder, 1/16" turn back on the decapping rod to allow self centering of the bushing, expander removed, imperial sizing wax used etc. Will try locking the die die with case inserted and see what it does...
Hi No1, I did remove the expander. Got my bushing size by subtracting 0.002" from (the calibre (0.308") + 2 X neck thickness (2 X 0.013")), which gave me 0.332" Just tried going from 0.340" to 0.334" and then lastly 0.332". These are the only two bushings I have available currently. The...
Hi Guys, Can necking down from 0.340" to 0.332" with a Redding Type-S bushing die cause runout? My fired cases measures 0.340 and when I neck my turned (0.013") lapua brass to 0.332" the runout on the case necks are not good at all. About 0.003" to 0.006". Will sizing incrementally...
What degree tempilaq for annealing Thanks! This is what my procedure looks like now with 482 deg F tempilstic. I'm still practicing on old brass. What you said about the lapua brass is very true. You'll ruin the case. And I also find that not all types of cases produce the same color...
Question regarding full value wind on elevation I was wrong. It does actually maintain the 3/8MOA angle of deflection throughout. Y = 0.01SG - 0.0024L + 0.032 Where Y = vertical deflection in MOA/mph full value crosswind SG = gyroscopic stability factor L = bullet length in calibres...
