    When checking ES....How many in string?

    +1. I did a dry run in the dining room getting it all set up. First outing in the field on a grey damp windy morning was a revelation. Regards JCS

    When checking ES....How many in string?

    +1 on that. I've just got a MagnetoSpeed and that's an excellent bit of kit. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12296998/Magnetospeed/GAT%20Rifles%20260%20Rem%20%2B%20MagnetoSpeed.jpg Regards JCS

    Handloading Checklist Thoughts and Comments

    Looks very good. The only comment I would make is I have one sheet for brass prep and record the load details separately as I may load several different loads from one set of prep'd brass. I find that I keep amending my brass prep sheet as my view on what to do evolves. Regards JCS

    Neck Turning before or after case cleaning?

    This is what I did when I neck turned, but I've given up the habit now I'm using Lapua brass in my 260 Rem. Regards JCS

    Test of 2 powders OCW

    I think to answer this question, you need to test the loads at your maximum range. The only potential benefit higher POA gives, is if you are toiling for elevation on your scope. Regards JCS

    question about brass weighing

    In my 260 Rem, I sort into 1 gr lots for Remington brass. I don't bother for Nosler or Lapua brass. Regards JCS

    Question regarding 2 different sets of RCBS 308 dies.

    One die will resize your brass less than the other one. I would suggest you run a trial and try and work out which die works better with your rifle. Good luck. JCS

    Another OCW evau..

    A question re the order you fired the rounds in. Did you fire all the 40.1 rounds then move on to the 40.5? Sometimes for a test like this I shot one round at each load weight, going up the weights, then let the rifle cool. Then I start at the highest load and work down the weights, then let the...

    Diagonal stringing

    At this time of year I'm typically trying to shoot a group of three deer (or more) and not many groups of deer will stand around for a minute. I think you need to look again at your rifle. I want my rifles to be able to handle a number of shots without worrying about the POI moving. Regards...

    Swipe marks w/ low powder loads, 260 Rem. What's going on?

    I had success with 142 SMKs, 43.4 gr of H4350, CCI 200 primers and Remington brass (<162gr cases). These Remington cases were specifically selected Remington cases in the 159 gr to 162 gr weight range and had been fired 3 times on my successful test.
