    First nice day at the range! (with pics)

    100 yards. Unfortunately I don't get to shoot formally at much more distance very often without traveling. Plenty of friends with farm fields but few willing to let me set up a range. Haha

    308 over pressure?

    Wow that is a big difference. I see now the error of my thinking. Like I said I knew it was a factor but I didn't realize how much. Great charts. Thanks! If I'm going to be changing loads and trying new things maybe I need to invest in some similar software. I have some 220gr 300wm loads that...

    308 over pressure?

    I have always considered brass capacity testing to be reserved for hole in hole benchrest shooters with $20000 90 pound rifles. Right up there with neck turning and measuring bullet concentricity. I understand all of these things contribute to accuracy/consistency but where do you draw the line...

    308 over pressure?

    Also this makes sense to me as another explanation of what could be happening or at least what can happen. Thanks. Good lesson.

    308 over pressure?

    It sounds like I have just underestimated a few things. One being the importance of a chronograph( I have owned one in the past but it was ruined by water). My previous experiences with reloading have always "worked fine". I currently reload 5 calibers and have never had this trouble. My...

    308 over pressure?

    Here are the primers I used. I have some remington primers that are brass colored. Maybe its the "new" winchester primers that are gold.

    First nice day at the range! (with pics)

    I guess im following a similar path! I already have a 300wm 5r tactical with a vortex pst ffp and I ogle other high end brands of rifles and optics. Right now I am too cheap to justify spending the serious bucks. Especially when I have rifles like this that I have less than $900 in total and...

    308 over pressure?

    Thanks guys. This is all very good information. It changes my perspective on how I was previously thinking. I don't claim that I know a lot but this makes me question things. Maybe one variable that I never thought of is that I am using small base dies. Not for any reason other than that's what...

    First nice day at the range! (with pics)

    My local gun club. Bone stock Remington 700 SPS tactical 308 with a cheapish weaver tactical/kaspa 3-12x42mm and a $15 aluminum one piece weaver base and yes its still got the totally junk houge overmolded stock that touches the barrel if you put it on a bipod. haha Two five shot...

    308 over pressure?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess ill order a new chrono. Im going to pull these apart to be on the safe side. I knew I would be "flying blind" as you say without a chronograph but I guess I just figured with a common rifle, common bullet, common powder and so on I could just pic a medium warm...

    308 over pressure?

    The bolt lift was fine. Normal resistance. Also these were seated to the factory 2.800.

    308 over pressure?

    bottom to top: unfired handload,fired hand load and a fired factory federal with a 168 SMK Hi all I am trying to develop a load for 308/168gr mk's or nos custom comp. Shouldn't be too hard. Its a very common combination. I have IMR 4895 powder. That should be a no brainer go to powder. Here...

    Mark you seem to know a lot about them. Is the company where they are made called Bold Ideas? It's a rumor I heard.
