    Varget for bulk rounds on progressive

    Re: Varget for bulk rounds on progressive I get +/- .3 grains variance with Varget thru my Dillon powder dispenser. For me, that's to much for a small case like the 223. YMMV

    Reloading for dpms lr308 jump to lands ?

    Re: Reloading for dpms lr308 jump to lands ? Another thing you might try is seating your bullets deeper if you don't get what you're looking for. Just be aware if you do keep a close eye on pressure signs, especially if you're already close to max. I've had good results with this on a load...

    powered primer pocket uniforming...

    308 "boot" question

    Re: 308 "boot" question Try "swirling" your powder in the funnel when you drop it in. What i mean is when dumping from the scale pan into the funnel hold the pan off center and let the kernels swirl in the funnel, think toilet flushing. This settles the powder in the case and packes it in...

    The ammo plant is running

    Re: The ammo plant is running I sat down the other night and cranked out 1500 on my 550. My buddy has the LNL minus the bullet feeder, we're getting ready to do a 5.56 thrash. Limiting factor is we only have 4000 bullets between us

    DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading)

    Re: DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading) I found my LR308 needs to be held VERY firmly to get the best accuracy, as in crushing it into my shoulder. Shrunk my groups from 1.5-2" to sub moa. LC brass, CCI BR primer, 41.5 grains IMR 4895 and a 168 SMK.
