Posted this question in the LMT thread but haven't received a reply yet. Then I thought it may be good to know what other brands are also. If someone could please measure the I.D. of their .308 bolt and let me know what it is, I would appreciate it greatly. All the primer pockets in brass...

Hey guys. Need a favor. Can someone check the I.D. of the bolt on their rifle and let me know what it measures? Mine is .4775",,, with calipers. I am still having trouble with reloads. Actually,, once the brass is shot from my rifle,, the primer pockets are oversize to the point a...

They shoot really well from my LMT believe it or not. I am able to load them a little off the lands whereas the matchkings jump about .075". I do not know if that is the difference or what. The B.C. is about the same as a school bus but I do not honestly know if that affects accuracy or not...

Son and I stopped by there this afternoon. No Varget left on the shelf. They have been hit pretty hard in the past week. Low on a lot of powders. MO Boy:)

I am really fond of BenchMark so far. But, I have not been reloading all that long. Are you near Sedalia? The local gun store there had Varget, CFE 223, and others when I was in there last week. Varget and BenchMark were both 30 bucks a pound, CFE was cheaper. MO Boy:)

I have not been reloading long, but have been using Winchester. I did have some issues with primers backing out when I first started loading and came to the conclusion it was the Federal brass because I have used Nato once fired, Black Hills, and Lapua without any issue, even with hotter loads...

Full disclosure.... I work across the highway from Sierra so I am a prejudice about supporting my local economy. :) I buy factory seconds at the outlet. After reading about the 65gr GameKing on Predator Masters, I started loading them for my Rock River and Ruger. With Benchmark, I am...

Thanks. I seen where the Choate was for centerfeed DBM but didn't know if that was the 4rd box or the 10rd.... or if they were the same design.. Thanks again. MO Boy

I have been looking for info with no luck. My search-fu is weak apparently. Is there an A5 style stock available that the FCP-SR w/10rd box mag will fit into? If someone can point me in the right direction or even a thread about options,,, I would greatly appreciate it ! Thanks all...

Thanks for all the info guys. samnev: Do you have any idea about the fps of your ammo? I didn't see what grain of bullet you were throwing. It seems like the charge is below what is given in the Hodgdon site. I am a complete newbie so I was a little surprised about being "under" the low...

The rifle has always been pretty hard on brass. The bases usually get a sort of pulled look to them but yes, after I started reloading is when I had issues with primers and the rims being really tore up. The Federal M1A stuff is all that had been fired through it until my reloads. Let me know...

Good evening all, I have had this rifle for about a year now. It shoots pretty well and I have not had any function issues at all. Only thing to this point is the coating, which I think is suppose to be Teflon, is peeling in the receiver. I am new to reloading and that is where my...

Hello all, I have been lurking for some time now. Enjoy all the info! I bought a MWS last summer and have shot less than 200 rounds through it. Saturday night, I was doing a quick cleanup on it and noticed there is a grey coating ( teflon?? ) inside the upper receiver that is peeling off...
