    weighing brass - worth it or not?

    Re: weighing brass - worth it or not? Lt. Arclight, I must say you done a fine job on your 20rnds if you are getting under 1gr with loaded ammo. I'm not as picky as some. I sort my brass into .9gr groups. It's like clark said above. It depends on what kind of shooting you are doing deer...

    weighing brass - worth it or not?

    Re: weighing brass - worth it or not? I weigh and sort my brass that I plan to shoot at 600 or 1000yrd. At long ranges I think it helps control vertical. Meaning heavier cases have less internal capacity and create high pressures. This leading to high ES/SD velocities. How ever I have shot...

    sierra load data

    Re: sierra load data I have found sierra's loading data to be very conservative also. However I do use there data alot to get a safe starting point and work my way up to the max my chamber will allow.

    Anyone shooting 190 gr out of 308?

    Re: Anyone shooting 190 gr out of 308? I would like to know more about the setup also. 2710fps is really good with the 190s. I have shot ther 190smks. They shot good until I got past 500yrds. I shot them at 800yrds and they just wouldn't stay stablized. I was using varget powder and was only...

    Concentricity Problems

    Re: Concentricity Problems Dan, How far are you shooting? If shooting at 100yrds runout doesn't really have that much affect at this range. Also I have seen some lapua brass have a lot of runout in some of there cases. Not too many but some. I usually set these aside for fouling or...

    Re: Keeping bullets linged up while seating I have changed all my seating dies over to an inline seater die. I have one hornaday that works good enough for a hunting rifle. All the others are redding tho. Redding dies are great dies and one of the best out there. Redding stands behind there...
