    300 win mag dilemma

    I had a Savage 112 BVSS in 300 WM with a 26" barrel (I have since switched to a 30" barrel). The best load I found with Accubonds 200grs was 80.5 grs of H-1000(hot) and CCI 250. I got 2935 fps and it would hold 1/2 MOA (3 shots) to 600 yards. My OAL was 3.509" so I used that load single shot...

    Weighing brass--searching for accuracy.

    Re: Weighing brass--searching for accuracy. Weighting cases on the assumption that there is a constant correlation between case weight and internal volume is a complete waste of time that is based on an erroneous assumption. Others factors such as dimension of base and extractor groove are...

    Rifle Scopes Near Manufacturing

    Re: Near Manufacturing As others have stated, Richard is top notch. I have 3 of his bases and 2 alphamounts. His service response is impeccable. I also have bases and rings from Badger, Nightforce, Leupold Mark IV, Warne, Farrell and TPS. Bottom line, Near bases and rings are the best, bare none.

    PressureTrace Users- How to calibrate?

    Re: PressureTrace Users- How to calibrate? I have a Pressure Trace and have not been too successful in getting it to work properly. I guess I'll have to do a chamber cast to get exact dimensions. Also the Bluetooth function stops working in freezing conditions, so I guess I'll have to wait...

    H1000 or Retumbo for .300WM?

    Re: H1000 or Retumbo for .300WM? I running 80.5grs of H-1000, CCI 250 and Accubonds 200grs at 2935 fps out of my Savage 112 BVSS in 300 WM. The load is hot by Nosler manual standard but I have no signs of pressure so far. This load is good for an average of 0.5 MOA out to 500 yards. Here's...

    Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep

    Re: Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep Great thread. Here's my contribution. I use a different technique from those described here to set up my resizing dies using Larry Willis' "Digital Headspace Gauge". To set it up for a .002" bump on the shoulder I use the following...

    Quickload Velocity Data

    Re: Quickload Velocity Data I always chrono my loads. Once you've entered all your custom data into QL, including average case volume in grs of H2O, it's surprisingly accurate. Once in a while, I have to ajust powder burning rate when using a new lot.

    Weighting brass?

    Re: Weighting brass? In my opinion, weighting brass is a waste of time. I did a test with 235 cases (different calibers and brass headstamps) and found that the correlation between case weight and internal volume is very poor to non-existent. Base size, extraction groove dimensions, alloy...

    Donuts vs. no donuts... Pressure Trace data
