As Old Corps 8541 said, yes it does! It is my understanding that is why some of the really serious shooters prefer a gain-twist or progressive rifling in addition to the accuracy advantages. That said, for the average handloader that is staying within book charge weights, it's probably not...

I am using Winchester commercial. Not the military. Also, I have recently checked out nosler's website. Thanks!

Bolt lift and extraction were normal as if it we an empty chamber. Thanks for the Nosler data! I don't have that manual an only referenced Hodgdon's Reloading Data Center. Perhaps a lesson learned there. I'll definitely have to consider the hotter days to come here in New Mexico! I don't have...

This post didn't garner any attention in the pinned 308 Win thread that is going on 16 years old, so I thought I'd post it here: I have been doing some chrono work with my 308 and a new bullet/powder combo and seeing what seems like unusually high velocities. Wanted to get...

This thread goes back a while, so I feel compelled to post my question more recently than 2007. I have been doing some chrono work with my 308 and a new bullet/powder combo and seeing what seems like unusually high velocities. Wanted to get thoughts/recommendations related to whether you think...

I have been monitoring threads and articles since 2020 regarding the primer and powder shortages. While I appreciate all the companies that manufacture components for this great art/hobby of handloading, I am disappointed that they have not provided more frequent updates (if any) to their...

My post was in jest, but that's a good point. You're right that it is for CURRENTLY non-compliant firearms.

ahhh bummer. I didn't know the amnesty only applied to currently "non-compliant" firearms. Might have to splurge on some kits before the 120 days is up. BTW, I am a NMSU Aggie (alum)!

I understand the principle of it and completely agree with you. This latest pistol brace sham is just another of many unconstitutional actions that have occurred over the past 75 years. Registering receivers (as long as you know what barrel length you're planning, really goes to your point and...

I was planning on SBRing a 10.5’’ AR-15 in 300blk anyway, so this might be a good opportunity to save some cash. I also have 2 stripped lowers with sbr plans for the future. Can I register my stripped lowers as sbr’s if I know what my future barrel length will be? Or is that leaping too far if...

What is ‘the best thing going’? (For something that will work on bow/arrow in addition to firearms. I’ll get that one.

I have about 5 rifles I am developing loads for but currently in a ‘stop work’ scenario due to not having chrono data.

I’m in the market for a chrono as well and this thread has been very helpful. I have a CED Millenium (the original silver one) but someone shot the sensors a few years ago. Bought a pair of the M2 sensors but they don’t work with the old head unit. Given that line or chronos is over 10 years...

I made a mistake in my original post. My scale only measures to 0.0 grns, so what I meant was to the tenth of a grain…vice thousandth of a grain. 😁

My means were meager when I first started reloading, so I didn't have all the fancy tools. I actually still don't have all the fancy tools simply because I get (what I consider) "precision" cartridges out of my process. I have a stock Savage 10FP-LE2B in .308 Win and get below .5MOA out to about...
