    Solid copper bullets

    I use 168 ttsx in my 308 and they're great for whitetail. The 180 ttsx out of my 300wm 3000 fps are like the hammer of Thor.

    .308 reloads

    That's a Remington chamber. Mile long free bore. Just start at max mag length and seat .005" deeper till you find one that shoots well.

    Frankford wet tumbler

    I've done 7-8 batches with mine and have no complaints. Good thick rubber coating in the drum and I like the timer feature on the motor. Get the magnet media separator.

    300 Win Mag or 338 Lapua?

    Split the difference and do a 338 Edge.

    rem 700 AAC acurracy

    I got a shitty one. 2 moa at best with numerous different handloads, HS precision stock and a jewell trigger. I gave up and re barreled it. Chattered threads, .005" out of concentricity and a piss poor crown. Shoots consistent 3/8 moa now. This is my second dud 700. I'll only custom build from...

    powder for fireforming

    I use unique when COW forming 6mm Ackley. It takes about 12 gr to get a good shoulder.

    Quenching after annealing?

    No. Just let them air cool.

    What is the best why to make Ackley brass for a 223

    You can just fire a standard 223 in the Ackley chamber. If you want to save components and barrel life, you can use the COW (cream of wheat) method to form the body and shoulders.

    45/70 Reduced Loads

    I shoot 405 cast over 13 gr of trail boss. Not sure if the velocity, but I figure is around 1000 fps. Very accurate or to 100 as well.

    Remington AAC-SD 308 best grouping loads

    My aac-sd shot like shit. 2 moa with several powder and bullet combinations along with an HS stock and jewell trigger. .187" freebore was a joke. After wasting enough money on powder and bullets to just about pay for a barrel, I gave up and re barreled it. Solid 3/8 moa now.

    Help with 308 load with varget

    168 bullets with somewhere between 44.0 and 44.5 grains of varget has shot well in every 308 I've tried.

    I bought a savage! Been a Remmy guy, for TOO long.

    Yeah, it's a bobby hart. No block though. I did a devcon bedding job on it. I've got a total of $600 tied up in the whole rig.

    I bought a savage! Been a Remmy guy, for TOO long.

    I love Remington 700s and own 10 of them including 6 customs. But, I've been wanting to try an Ackley improved cartridge and didn't want to invest a couple grand into it. Just put together a Savage build in 6mmAI. Still doing load development but it looks promising.

    Anybody got any info on 6.5-06?

    I love mine. Easy to form brass and great performance. I get 3040 fps from a 120 smk with .25moa accuracy. I haven't taken mine to extreme long range but 600 and in is a chip shot.
