Re: .308 reloading for semi-auto All that had been using lapua brass are telling the truth. There is nothing better than lapua brass for semiautos. I still have 96 out of 100 and have 5 reloads with out having to trim. Real awesome brass. My Armalite AR10T used to eat the brass in the...

Re: Fouling rounds? If I may I'll like to say Nofail : you may find the opposite on some rifles and here is a perfect explanation. This rifle shots 5 rounds at 100 yards in 1/2 MOA but it likes to be sparkling clean or it will open up to 3/4 of MOA .

Re: .308, RL-17, and Hornady 178 HPBT in a gas gun Like the gentleman above had said most of your dies (not bushing types) will give enough neck tension ( most if not all to mush ) for gas rifles. If you decide on the LFC die , don't follow the instructions as it will destroy the top of the...
