    Just Starting to load .308 - Need Advice

    Re: Just Starting to load .308 - Need Advice I usually dont fl-size my .308 cases until about 5-6 reloads or until they are way to long to close in the chamber. As long as you pay close attension to you max case length you will be fine. I prefer the case to fit snug in the chamber because...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Break-In

    Re: Barrel Break-In I agree with Victory on the necessity of breaking in a new barrel and cleaning regularly. I have adopted my break in procedure from military sniper manuals. They fire ten shots with cleaning in between each round and then five three shot groups with cleaning in between...

    Range Report 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??)

    Re: 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??) jedi, i missed what you were saying in your last sentence. Im getting very excited about this 7mm with which ever case i decide to go with. The 6.5 would be nice, but i have to go with the 7mm due to its ballistic advantages and my...

    Range Report 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??)

    Re: 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??) Thanks Koganinja and jeff, i am thinking that i will do the 6.5 out of the 7wsm action i have cause i would rather build the 7wsm on a long action. that sounds much more appealing to me since im a fan of most 7mm cartridges and i would...

    7mm RUM vs 7mm STW???

    Re: 7mm RUM vs 7mm STW??? The 7rum really comes alive when it is equiped with a longer barrel. Just about 10 to 13 more grains. it is real easy to justify if you run a 28 to 31 inch barrel. Besides, i like blowing a 100 grains of powder down the tube each shot, makes me feel like a real...

    7mm RUM vs 7mm STW???

    Re: 7mm RUM vs 7mm STW??? I have a 7rum and i really enjoy shooting it at longer ranges. 7rum + 180vld= one bad ass round. Especially at 1000 and beyond. the 7rum will push bullets a little faster and does not have a belt. What kind and how long is the pipe?
