    Can someone recommend a website where you can still buy reloading components? I'm looking for 175gSMKs for 308 and Lapua Brass. Thank you.

    Picked up my .308 today!

    Re: Picked up my .308 today! I own the savage 10FLCP-K. I started with a Vortex 6x24-50 and it didn't hold up to the recoil. I bought a Sightron SIII 6x24-50, ECW Base with 20 MOA and seekins precision rings. Could not be happier.

    Re: Best practices and consitent results Deadshot... I am not familiar with "Expander Mandrel Dies." Which one are you using? Also what is your method for annealing if you don't mind. I'm with Kevin... fucking idiots. So damn depressed today that I have to look at Barry O for another 4 years.

    Re: Best practices and consitent results What would you say is an "acceptable" variation in speed for those longer ranges. BTW... I'm guessing you recommend Lapua bullets

    Best practices and consitent results

    Re: Best practices and consitent results No problem I thought it was hilarious. So, reloading equipment, yes. I am currently reloading 175g or 168g SMK with H4895, Lapua Brass and CCI large rifle primers. Primarily interested in the chronograph to check "the reloading process." I would...
