    ladder test, strange results?

    Re: ladder test, strange results? Can't decide if that was a joke or not. Would be an interesting idea if it worked or I had any headspace to play with. I'm pretty much at the minimum so that's out. I have a 3rd ladder from 155 scenars, but my camera died, so I can't tell the order they...

    ladder test, strange results?

    Re: ladder test, strange results? So you think I should move on to the next step and compare the bullet impacts with the least direct vertical spread? Now that I've mad sure everything's tight, run from a ladder in .3gr increments across what appears to be nodes now, to confirm the ladders?

    ladder test, strange results?

    The upward stringing is what should be there, but what's with all the stringing up to the right. This was shot at 300 with bipod and rear bag. Thinking that those 155's look awful good. Gonna focus my next tests in the 45.5-47.0gr range with the 155's. Considering that weight range grouped a...

    Brass Cleaning

    Re: Brass Cleaning I got a cheap ultrasonic to try out. Can't seem to get very clean unless it runs at least 20 mins. And it only fits 10 308! I'll just tumble thanks. Stainless when I get rich

    Re: Savage 308 COL question That's a relieving number to see. Mine is a 10FP. Barrel is off of a savage 10 of some make.

    Savage 308 COL question

    Re: Savage 308 COL question Possible. Though, the person I bought it off re-barreled at 0 rounds to a different cartridge, don't think he would have spent the time and money. The process was super easy, though I just watched while the experienced person did all the work. Compared to the way...

    Savage 308 COL question

    Re: Savage 308 COL question I haven't it's a factory savage barrel, so I was expecting...well certainly a lot more than that. If it was a custom chamber I could see the lands being that close. However I don't think the measurement is wrong. I marked on the bullet where the comparator sits...

    Savage 308 COL question

    I have a quick question. I am using the cleaning rod method to figure out max OAL to the lands. With a 155 sierra I get 2.914" max length when the bullet touches the lands. Max that fits in my mag is 2.855" so that's fine. I also looked up where some other people were and 2.915" seems...

    these look sweet enough to eat

    Re: these look sweet enough to eat Quite cool, but something I'd probably only use on dummy rounds. Bright, eye-catching colors are good for that.

    Calling all brass pressure sign experts...

    Re: Calling all brass pressure sign experts... I agree. I see some ejector marking, but it doesn't seem as excessive as what I usually look for. But it definitely looks to me like you have leaking around the primer. My savage also craters pockets around the pin, even when firing low-average...

    Varget & Sierra 77gr Low Velocity

    Re: Varget & Sierra 77gr Low Velocity Powder he's using is Varget for those a bit confused. At least, that load data matches what I have for Varget and that bullet. Don't forget temps can affect velocity and pressure. No pressure signs at 40* doesn't mean it's safe at 100*

    R-P 223 brass

    Is R-P quality brass? I am looking to buy some 223 brass that doesn't have a primer crimp to take care of. I currently have a couple hundred LC brass that I'm loading, but I plan on moving to something else once this brass wears out. Just wondering if R-P is quality brass, or if I should go a...

    Mag length .223 W/Hornady 75BTHP?

    Re: Mag length .223 W/Hornady 75BTHP? If you have an 8 twist it will shoot fine. I load it at mag length in a 9" twist and it stabilizes

    Mag length .223 W/Hornady 75BTHP?

    Re: Mag length .223 W/Hornady 75BTHP? What length barrel? I can't find the page right now but I seem to remember 2750fps in my AR15 loaded at mag length. But I can't say for sure. Anyways, suffice to say the 75hpbt will do fine loaded to mag length, especially in a mini which don't tend to...
