    LR-308 issues

    Had the same gun with the same issues. Gas block misalignment and crappy magazines were the issue. Replaced the gas block and mags and the guns worked perfectly since.

    Redding Body Die Question

    Looks like my next step is to try out some different lube. I'll give imperial a shot and see how it does. I'll check back in if the casings still wont fit in the die. Thanks for all the input everyone.

    Redding Body Die Question

    All casings measured exactly .470" at the point where they longer fit into the die. This is a slightly different spot on the casing with the different brands of brass. Sorry the pics are sideways but you get the point. Does anyone know if the die is supposed to be able to accommodate casings...

    Redding Body Die Question

    I started with "just a little". I've FL resized thousands of casing with Oneshot and never a problem until using the redding body die.

    Redding Body Die Question

    I tried the die in my RCBS Rock Chucker and my Lee turret press with the same results. I set the die up per the instructions that came with it. The brass was fired threw a standard rem 700 chamber. I'm unable to take measurements of the case at this point because i resorted to FL resizing...

    Redding Body Die Question

    My .308 casing will only enter about 75% of the way into my redding body die even with adequate lube and excessive force. I've tried 4X fired FGMM brass and once fired LC brass with the same issue. This is my first attempt at using this die and my previous sizing was neck only (collet). Any...

    Should I bed a Bell and Carlson stock?

    Def do everything you can to realize the potential of the new stock before you decide to bed. Try dropping the action in an tightening to different torque specs if you cant get it to shoot. Make sure you follow the instructions during installation as well. The order in which you tighten the...

    Hot barrel effect on fps?

    That seems like a big swing for only 10 rounds. I found the chrono to be the culprit for the strange data in most cases. How far is your chrono from the muzzle? Sunny or cloudy day? Intermittent cloud cover can throw your readings way off. I suggest firing 10 rounds at a 1000 yard target and...

    .308 20" Federal GMM 168gr Velocity

    I get 2535 fps from the same setup. Trued to 600 yards. That ridiculous jump to the lands really kills velocity. Rems are notorious for excessive free bore. My suggestion would be to plug 2550 into a ballistic app and print some groups on paper at about 800 yards. Measure the group distance...

    standard vs. match chamber?

    I'm not looking at any one caliber specifically. When browsing different barrel options i've noticed calibers like .300wm, .260 rem, 22-250 have a standard and match chamber option. Didn't know what the difference was.

    standard vs. match chamber?

    Can someone explain the difference between a standard rifle chamber and a match chamber? Thanks

    Full length sizing without expander ball/decapping pin

    I am attempting to use my FL sizing die to bump the shoulder back on my brass without working the neck. I would neck size later with a collet die. Can this be accomplished by removing the entire die stem? What effect can i expect by running my brass through my FL resizer without the die stem...

    Questions about your 308 FPS

    Re: Questions about your 308 FPS That's slow, but you are running 3.3 grains(ish) under the max load. Up the charge and see what happens

    rcbs die , ticking me off

    Re: rcbs die , ticking me off rcbs sells an extended shell holder for their competition line. It's identical to any other shell holder other than its taller. Using it during sizing would mean you wouldn't have to screw the die in nearly as far and the lock ring wouldn't cover up the vent hole

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    Re: 223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition 8208 xbr for me. No disadvantages in my book. Meters like magic which is a huge plus!

    decapping pin wont stay in

    I use a RCBS competition FL resizing die. I cant seem to get the decapping pin to stay in the die. It used to come out periodically when i was sizing casing with slightly off-center flash holes, but now it wont stay in at all. Gravity is enough to make it fall out. Is there a way to adjust...

    IMR 8208 guys shooting 168's, what's your ES?

    Re: IMR 8208 guys shooting 168's, what's your ES? I think you're right on with the case capacity theory. Charge weights being equal, varget will certainly fill up more of the case than 8208 XBR. I've found in my own testing that that extra space in the case will cause larger SD/ES. I...

    Any issues with the 1-12 twist ina 700 SPS

    Re: Any issues with the 1-12 twist ina 700 SPS My 1x12 shoots 175's just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    Slow Barrel?

    Re: Slow Barrel? That seems slow. My 20" remmy will push 168's to 2642fps with 44.5 grains of varget. I know that some remingtons are cut with long throats which causes the bullet to have to jump pretty far to the lands. This jump will cause a reduction in pressure and velocity. How...
