    temp sensitivity powder question?

    I've used H-4350 (E) for 338 , Win Mag and for 300 Win Mag-----both in model 70 Wichester rifles with standard barrels. IF---you load (or reload) to the maximum levels for a given cartridge and bullet combination----you can exceed the recommended pressure levels for gun/cartridge. While the load...

    Remington 700P, .308--New Gun, New Loads

    Thanks for the all the input.. The reason I solicited group info was that---if it appeared that most shooters found favorable results with midrange weight bullet (as opposed to lighter or heavier) then I would start there-----or vice versa. As we all have come to know, every tube has it's own...

    Remington 700P, .308--New Gun, New Loads

    After 30+ years my feather weight M70 Win .308 is ready for Social Security. I've acquired a Rem 700P-.308---and have to scrap 30 years worth of notes and loads; as we all know, every rifle has it own range of loads that it works best with. If some of you personally, have a 700P .308 (26"...

    New load development: 168 SMK with IMR 4064

    It appears you've found the "sweet spot" with the 44.0 grain load--I would fine tune that until you're happy with it. Coincidently, I have been doing nearly the same thing and am "jockeying between 43.5 grains and 44 (in Lake City brass)----and the rifle (an old beater gun Win feather weight...

    Going Price for M118?

    Look at it this way-----If you bought new components and built your own-----the cheapest works out to between .80 cents a piece and 1.10 a piece (roughly); at least that's what I've experienced with my own .308's (on the left coast). You're getting 460 rnds for less than a buck a round, plus a...

    308 build question parts

    A couple ideas come to mind--stemming from shooting 45 ACP target loads. The idea there was minimal recoil and slowed velocity, enabling more precise shots and faster recovery/sight acquisition after the shot (bullseye shooting). Not having an AR----I can't say with certainty that it can...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Kill with Model 70 pre 64/ 47 year old ammo

    Nice shot--nice rifle-------When I first saw the post--I thought; I wonder if he has some of that old "the good years" Lake City? (I rat holed a few hundred of them away myself) (from 1963)-----and they are spot-on still.

    Hunting & Fishing Maybe My Oxygen's Low and Trash Gives Me a Rash

    Have a friend in Worland------been hunting with him a few times in Pinedale/ Bridger entrance/ Teton area-----lovely place---great people--- wouldn't really expect to see that in WY.

    Hunting & Fishing Maybe My Oxygen's Low and Trash Gives Me a Rash

    With all the activist groups who dislike hunting---and guns in general---why not entertain the ridiculous a bit farther---(or, it was really only a nightmare). You're with your friends----you've found a pristine shooting spot and you're road testing your GPS /Laser Guided / FLIR capable...

    scope slipping, SWFA 10x42

    Had a problem like that once----quality rings--quality scope----carefully re-mounted---slipped again (and yes, you can damage a scope by allowing it to be pounded against the rings). Had the idea of applying some Permatex silicone engine gasket sealer; just a 1/8" rounded dot to top and bottom...

    which reticle, moa? mil?

    Play it on paper; that is, make an imaginary shot at 1,2,3,4,500, etc., monkey with the wind from 5 to 10-----see if you can run the numbers in your head with each type of reticle--------if it's hard---so is your shooting experience-----and your results in real shooting may not be so rewarding...

    Targets for longer range group shooting.

    OK---don't get all manly on me------I recall my wife getting (1 inch) grid paper from the Fabric Shop----they use it to mark patterns for duplicating clothing. Comes 52" wide, either from a roll or in pre-cut packs, where you get several pieces 52 x 52. You can always get some spray glue and...

    Range Report Chasing the Hole

    Shooting and reloading for over 30 years; so my expertise is substantial in driving to the gun shop. In all the years of reloading, I've read countless articles on prepping brass and weighing bullets and, yada, yada, yada-----and after spending countless hours prepping groups of "once fired"...

    What brass to choose

    Have used them all; over many years----never had any bad experiences with any of them. Managed 10-15 loadings on the Winchester---no defects; just tossed it. Likewise with all but the Lapua----haven't reached that point --yet. The LC took a slightly less load, as the internal volume is...

    2 Mile Shot With A .308 Winchester

    Noticing that many of todays Shooters---are enthused about making 1000 yard plus shots; even 1500+ yard shots; I say yeah, yeah, yeah; make a really long shot, then talk about it. Why not? Shooting is as much fun, (or madness) as you make it. Not to be outdone; I once made a shot of 2 MILES+...
