      Doom reacted to ShtrRdy's post in the thread Does anyone else get frustrated reloading with Like Like.
      It sounds like you're too hard on yourself. If you ruin a piece of brass somehow just live and learn. As for the brass headspace...

      Coming from a guy with 199 pieces of Alpha 6GT brass himself - I feel your pain man :LOL: . And no, I didn't lose mine...I forgot that...

      Doom replied to the thread CHRONOGRAPH USE AND BASIC SAFETY.
      Obviously the velocity data can be important to determining a safe load but it doesn't replace the usual signs of excessive pressure...

      Doom replied to the thread Right or left ?.
      I found that using a pencil flame torch like the one below allowed for more precise heating and kept the heat away from the body...

      I think the older SMK you refer to was listed with a P/N of 1715. That bullet had a BC of .43 I think.

      Doom replied to the thread Right or left ?.
      The ones on the left are likely the better cases since the annealing has moved below the body shoulder junction. This helps prevent the...

      Doom replied to the thread .308 Winchester.
      With a 20" barrel best groups should be around 2500-2550 fps with the 168 and 169 and probably about 2475 to 2520 fps with the 175 with...

      As mentioned, HEAT is the big factor for barrel life. That heat is a factor of the powder you use. how much of it you use, rate of fire...

      TO be clear on the "C", when the C is part of the part number as in 2200C it is a 250 or 500 round packaging. When it shows up as...

      Within a given cartridge, in this case the 308 Win, the primary issue with barrel life will be how hot the barrel will be allowed to get...

      Doom reacted to ARShooter91's post in the thread Barrel wear Vs velocity/weight/energy with Like Like.
      The bigger factor is going to be how hot you get your barrel. The ambient temp will play a large roll in how quick it heats up along...

      Doom replied to the thread 223 at 300 and 500.
      About what my 700 Varmint (stock barrel) will do with 53 SMK. I tend to agree with @RegionRat that the 77 SMK is probably worth a try...

      Doom replied to the thread Low Recoil AR Load.
