Oh yeah....the 5-25 is on my list!

Looking for a recommendation on a precision 308 seating die with the following qualities. Easily readable hash marks and clear clean clicks.... May sound odd, but my current one is ancient and the "clicks" have turned to mush.... Thanks.

My dad was in the RCAF during WWII, stationed in England. He was a navigator in the C47... He met a RAF pilot and was able to sneak a ride in a two seater Spitfire. Needless to say it was something to behold and quite a bit more exciting than the Goony Bird C47.

Either the bore diameter is off, too large or the only time I have seen keyholes is shooting 1000 yards and the bullets went subsonic and tumbled......

One reason is the jump from the magazine... My LR308 has about .195 jump to the rifling.. Not best for accuracy. I single loaded the same rounds seated .010 off and the groups were very good... I'm getting a barrel made with a short chamber so when seated in the mag the bullets will be about...

I tried the load in my DPMS LR308 with Winchester brass and it shoots clover leaf groups.... Very nice. Thanks.

My entry.. Stock Savage LRPV 223. Unfortunately I suffer from a disease call "IMPATIENCE" as seen in the group progression. Min - .229", Max - .545" Avg - .426"

OK I searched the site and couldn't find the answer so..... When installing a DPMS style barrel extension what are the thread specs for the barrel blank? I heard 1x16, but wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Did the OCW test and found best POI group. Question is I will now play with seating depth..... Do you shoot the seating depth variations in OCW order or just shoot them? Thanks

So I need to find the ogive engagement point in my chamber for each bullet I use with the Stoney point tool and the RCBS mic? On the RCBS mic one bullet might be 048, another 052, another 065 depending on the individual bullet ogive where they "zero" on the lands/grooves?

So I need to measure every bullet in my chamber with the Stoney Point tool? I measured a 168 match bullet and when seated in a dummy round, say got a .048 on the RCBS precision mic. I have been seating other brand match bullets to read .048 on the precision mic. Does this give me the same ogive...

It will be a winner if the voices don't sync perfectly with the actors mouths... Just like in the old black and white ones. :-)

Watching Turn and like it so far. Like revolutionary war history.

I have the LRPV in 223. It shoots fantastic. Great success with 73 Bergers and 21.5gr imr4895. Also shoots 55gr extremely well. You should enjoy it a lot.

Think I will give the PRC a try.... Thanks.
