    Removing tarnish on bullets

    I bought about 2K 178gr Amax about 5yrs ago. And to make a long story short, when I started loading for the 308's again, low and behold, the bullets were tarnished just as yours. I simply take a hundred when I'm ready to load and throw in the ol trusty Tumbles Tumbler (Corn Cob & a little...

    twist rate and 175 grain 30 cal pills

    Yes, I have a couple of factory 12 twist guns that shoot the 175/178's better than they shoot anything else.

    I personally don't care for the AICS but, that's me. To each their own

    My first rifle build ever! input and suggestions needed!

    I second the Manners with the mini chassis. By the time you spend $500 on the stock, $200-$300 on Bottom Metal & $75-$100 to have the stock inlet, you will have a bunch of money tied up in a stock that doesn't equal the craftsman ship and quality of a Manners or McMillian.

    Opinions: Tikka T3 Lite vs T3 Superlite fluted.

    I can't speak on the superlites but, between me and my brother, we have 3 (270 Win, 270 WSM, & 300 WM) T3 Lites. Except for the Mags kicking like a mule, they are great rifles. We have ABUSED every one of them for the past couple of years and they take it. They mean it when they say that it will...

    700 SPS Long Range 300wm

    Try to post those pics again if you can. I wanted one but, got impatient and bought a 300WM in a 700P instead. Still may buy one when I runn across one

    Hodgdon BL-C(2) in 308

    Never tried BLC-2 w/ 150's. I have about 400 168gr SMK loaded in LC brass & 46grs put up for "hard times". RRA LAR-8 Varmint w/ 26" barrel shoots them 3/4 MOA out to 400. Like longrangefool said though, it is pretty dirty though

    308 with 180 gr accubonds

    308 - 180gr NAB Federal Brass, 210M, 42.5grs Varget, seated 2.825" COAL Not the fastest but, shoots great out of my son's LTR.

    Powder for Short Barrel 300WM?

    My 700P has been cut down to 22" and it shoots 71.4grs of RL-22 with a 190gr SMK like a laser. Have had it cut down for the last 100 rounds and now, I'm wondering why I didn't cut it down sooner.

    Loads for the .308 AAC-SD only

    Just did a load development on my buddy's and it shot best with 178 A-Max touching the lands and 46 grs Varget. We tried 4064, RL-15 & Varget.

    300 win mag 22" barrel

    Thanks for the input. Have only tried RL-22 so far with a 190gr SMK. 70.5 grns will shoot a .491 3-shot @ 100yds. Haven't ran it across a Chrono yet to check the speed. Was running low on H-1000 after loading up my 7mm STW for hunting season. Powder Valley had gotten some in last week so, I...
