    What's the MINIMUM C.O.L. for 308 Win?

    Re: What's the MINIMUM C.O.L. for 308 Win? Medic and Fish, you guys rock. Thanks! I checked and it's only slightly compressed. I'm seating to the cannelure which results between 2.700 and 2.715. The crimp is light and all seems well. Now I'll get to the range as see what I've got. I...

    What's the MINIMUM C.O.L. for 308 Win?

    Re: What's the MINIMUM C.O.L. for 308 Win? Thanks Fish! I can no longer hear the powder move around when I shake the case. How do I know if I've compressed the powder too much? This load is for an Armalite Super SASS (AR-10). Pete L.

    What's the MINIMUM C.O.L. for 308 Win?

    Hey guys, Looking for your re-loading expertise! I'm trying to re-load .308 Win for my Armalite Super SASS and here's my problem: I know Max C.O.L. is 2.810. Factory cartridges appear to have a fairly consistent C.O.L. of about 2.785. When I seat my 150gr FMJ BT to that same C.O.L. (2.785), the...

    Suppressors Requesting recommendations for 7.62 Suppressor

    Hey guys, I bought an Armalite SuperSASS and am looking to put a 7.62 can on it. I've done quite a bit of research and seem to have hit a wall as many of them seem to be good. Weight is not my top concern, rather quality and level of sound reduction. I would like a QD system so I can ue it on...

    Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not?

    Re: Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not? Lots to consider. Thank you all for the puts! Followon question for the pros: Will a regular full-length RCBS die set work for ~500+ yard precision shooting or is it worth the extra money to go for the competition die set? Again thanks for the help...

    Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not?

    Re: Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not? Thanks Victor! Good stuff. What about a slight crimp on a bullet without a cannelure? Suggested? Possible? (understanding that for accuracy reasons it will depend on the rifle)

    Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not?

    Re: Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not? Thanks BCP. The way it was explained to me is that the recoil jolts the ammo in the magazine and in accordance with newton's third law of motion could undesireably seat the bullets further in the casings, affecting accuracy or worse, increase...

    Cannelure for AR-10 reloading or not?

    Hey guys. I'm a newbie with forum chat so school me if I'm messing up the protocol here... I reload pistol and .223/5.56 and am now delving into the world of long(er) range shooting. I bought an Armalite SuperSASS and will be shooting handloads. I have Lapua brass and I bought a bunch of 168gr...
