    ladder test Rem sps 308 varget first reloads

    I do not have a chrono(now I need one).Anyway I did a ladder test starting with 5 rds each 42 42.2 42.4 42.6 42.8 43 .It did best at 42.8 about nickel size five rounds 100 yrds.I'm guessing that the fps are pretty low.I'm looking for above 2550fps as stated on the hide anything lower won't work...

    Meplat trimming and oal

    So heres my question and I hope I dont sound stupid.Does everybody that loads trim there meplat?I was bored so I pulled out the calipers and measured some 175smk length.They ranged from 1.231 to 1.241 .So if you dont trim your meplat before reloading your oal on every reload will vary?

    550b primer tube

    I have a problem with the primer feed.It got screwed up somehow.I was reloading 9mm and noticed they weren't priming.Took out primer tube and the plastic on the bottom was a little bent so I bent it back into place.When you drop primers in they fall right out of the bottom.I'm guessing I...

    Changing powder

    Changed powder to unique from clays universal.Changed because store that sells clays is too far.They started me off with clays when reloader was set up.Anyway I used up the pound but ran it down to about 3/4 off an inch from the bottom and tossed it.My question is how many turns to go from 5gr...
