    New load development: 168 SMK with IMR 4064

    Have any of you guys tried the 169SMK out of your M1A or bolt gun? If so, did they shoot well?

    6mm ARC loads with Temp Stable Powders

    Thanks for the data. Did you load the 6ARC using 2520 to 2.26" OAL?

    What's your take on Vihtavuori powders?

    Boy who could've predicted that VV powders would eventually be cheaper in price than all the other brands here in the US? I'm using them exclusively now! Lol

    Alliant Powder Availability

    I agree, but when Alliant's 8lb. jugs are more than $120 more than other brands, I'll make a point of using any other brands.

    Alliant Powder Availability

    The price of Alliant powders is much higher than any others around here, even Vitahvouri, which used to be the highest by far. I won't be using them until they come down to Earth again, (or close to the other companies prices).

    Will this magazine work for my Ruger Precision Rifle that I rebarreleled to 6BR?

    Smokeless powder moisture content. Something else to consider

    Considering this variable, would it be a better Idea to purchase 8 separate 1# cans of powder of the same lot, or one 8# jug, if one was to load for a cartridge over about a year? Idea being, that only one pound is used at a time, as the others are left sealed, keeping the original humidity...

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    Better yet, maybe just neck size your 1X brass and then start work on your 2X fired brass. That will give you a better picture of what your chamber really looks like.

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    I'm sorry DDR, I was mistaken. You don't have to readjust the die between shellholder changes. Just set the die to touch the top of the .010" SH, and progressively go down towards the .002" SH, until you arrive at your desired shoulder setback. Sorry for the confusion....

    6 creed and reloader 16

    I'm interested in Reloder 16 also, but using Berger 105 Hybrids. Anyone?

    Redding FL Type S Bushing Die...Help with set up...

    I like it to size 1/2 the neck. Theory is that it is enough to grip the bullet firmly, and the unsized lower portion of the neck helps center the neck in the rifle's chamber. It seems to work for me!

    Will tumbling remove Tempilaq?

    So do you Tempilaq a few and count the seconds in the flame and just time them from then on?

    Will tumbling remove Tempilaq?

    I was thinking of going the Anneal-riteII method of annealing, and was wondering if tumbling with corn cob or walnut will remove the Tempilaq residue from inside the case neck. Thanks!

    IMR 4064 vs varget for 308

    Glen Zediker states that 748 is a wonderful powder/very accurate, but gets "psycotic" as the temps rise. Doesn't sound like it's temp stable, according to him.
