    Loading .357.....need help

    Hello all..... Loaded up some .357 not that long ago and used the 158 gr jsp from Speer. Most of the information I got on this bullet weight made sense and I loaded up about 50 and used them without issue. I have not done a Chrono on them yet, but will tomorrow when I hit the range. These were...

    What chronograph?

    Re: What chronograph? I use the ProChrono that I picked up at Midway on sale.. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/852429/competition-electronics-prochrono-digital-chronograph works great for me....place it about 10 feet from the muzzle of the 308 and get readouts that are all very close. Then...

    Neck Separation

    Re: Neck Separation Thanks for the replies.... I kinda figured that's what I was doing wrong......you can see in the last picture where the color of the brass changes before it meets the shoulder .....that is where it cuts most of the brass after resizing. It only skims over the rest of the...

    Neck Separation

    Posted this at SC so I wanted to post it here too..... I have been shooting these Win 308 brass for close to 8 reloads on these cases alone. I have started neck turning them about 4 reloads ago and haven't had any issues. The other day at the range I went to chamber a round and it would not...

    Range Report First shots at 1000 yards....

    Re: First shots at 1000 yards.... sounds like a good idea....I had a 20 MOA base put on it and thought maybe I should look at a 30 MOA, but $150 for a base seems to be a little much. Thanks..
