    Advanced Marksmanship Case mouth tension and accuracy?

    Re: Case mouth tension and accuracy? Thanks for your responses. I went out to the range a few days ago with 25 rounds using the same components. The only difference is that I sized 5 groups using a different bushing. (.334-.330). (edit) I shot at the 200 yard mark. Components: Once shot and...

    Advanced Marksmanship Case mouth tension and accuracy?

    Hi, I've got the gold medal match reloading dies for my 308 and have the 330-336 bushings. I'd like to know how the case mouth tension on the bullet affects the physics of the shot. i.e. burn rate/pressure etc.

    308 subsonic load components

    Hi, I'm trying to find out a different way to do case prep and would like to hear your feedback on what you've found to work. So far I've been very successful drilling out the flash hole to 1/8" and using winchester large rifle magnum primers with trail boss of course. The brass I've used so...

    Standard primers versus match and BR prmers

    Re: Standard primers versus match and BR prmers I actually shoot better with the cci 7.62 military primery then the cci bench rest primers using my .308 it goes from moa to sub moa. br2 at 300 yrds is moa w/ 3" groups 7.62 military primers @ 300 yrds is about 1-2" groups.

    Trail Boss Corrosive?

    Re: Trail Boss Corrosive? After I noticed the rust in the first place I cleaned the entire rifle very well and the next day I did again. I thought I saw some pitting in the muzzle area but I ran the bore brush through a couple more times and it cleared up. Then redish orange rust in the...

    Photos IMR Trail Boss Corrosion Test (start)

    I'm testing corrosion that Trail Boss causes on some steel nails. Sorry about that... What I'm doing is putting steel nails into 2 jars. I burned a good bit of the trailboss in one by pouring it in and lighting it with lit paper and then added 0.5 mL of tap water to both. I'm judging the...

    Trail Boss Corrosive?

    Re: Trail Boss Corrosive? I found the rust along the walls of the bolt area and on the back of the bolt shaft near the knob. It was just a light rust but nonetheless it was there. I just hope that my bore wasn't effected. I shot one or two rounds and didn't clean it for a weak or so.

    208 AMAX in .308? Y or N?

    Re: 208 AMAX in .308? Y or N? What about subsonic then? If supersonic's not good for the 308 then shooting sub with a can should be good right? Thanks again for your input.
