    How to tell if you need Annealing

    Re: How to tell if you need Annealing I anneal only for case life, I have neither the skills nor the necessity to reap any accuracy rewards from it. And with that goal, it is quite successful. On tests with the 22 Hornet, I've found annealing to add about 50% usable life to the case, and...

    Looking for powder advice, 308 Win

    Re: Looking for powder advice, 308 Win Right on! Thanks for all the answers everybody. So it seems like a lot of users like Varget, I could stick with that and be just fine. Or my next 8lb order of powder might instead be 8 1lb jugs haha

    Looking for powder advice, 308 Win

    Re: Looking for powder advice, 308 Win Thanks for all the help so far! It seems that nobody really thinks I'm off to a bad start, that's good news. So if I have this right, here are some of the ol' standby powders for 308: IMR 4064 IMR 4895 H4895 Varget Reloader 15 Win 748 Two I've never...

    Looking for powder advice, 308 Win

    Hey, I've been reloading for at least 5-6 years but only for about a year or two as a precision reloader. I used to shoot rimfire benchrest, so my skills as a shooter are at least par or better (I'd like to think). I'm asking for load help with my Remington 700 SPS: 20" 1:12 twist, action has...

    Reloading question

    Re: Reloading question Where in GA? I'm in Newnan, shoot at the West Point range pretty often. You don't necessarily need to duplicate the same components as that commercial load, but that's a good point to start. Is this a 308? For powder, I'd try Varget or IMR 8208 XBR powder and work...

    Trimming process for .308 win

    Re: Trimming process for .308 win 427 hit it. I would tumble or clean just to get the lube off before storing, but otherwise, your process looks sound.

    .223 reloads question

    Re: .223 reloads question In my burn rate chart it is, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. But it sits roughly between H110 which is a slow pistol powder and H335 which is a fast-ish rifle powder.

    .223 reloads question

    Re: .223 reloads question You should actually look to faster powders rather than reduced loads. You'll probably be in experimenter's "at your own risk" territory. I'm not sure where Reloader 10 sits on the scale of speed, but H335 is one of the fastest of the common 223 powders. You might...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help You are the expert I would defer to, so I'm hesitant to say if he's spreading false information. I don't mind being wrong either. But tell me I'm doing it wrong without saying why and advertise your super special services? I find it to be low brow...

    Lee Reloading Equiptment?

    Re: Lee Reloading Equiptment? Lee is great for getting started out because of the low price, but if you stay in the hobby long enough, you'll find many of their products to be good for the long haul too. Not all of it, the scale and powder measure aren't on the top of my list, but everything...

    Am I doing this wrong?

    Re: Am I doing this wrong? Don't sweat too much what it's doing at 100 yards anyway, that's like tuning your dragster to go 100 feet. Within 100 yards, you'll hardly see the difference from the flat base 150gr V-Max to the 210 A-Max, there's just barely time to get either to start...

    Neck sizeing vs. full length?

    Re: Neck sizeing vs. full length? Well, it was all the long way of saying there's fewer negatives to each method than there are positives to each. haha I miss living in the valley, how are you liking the warm weather?
