Photos "168gr" Hornady AMAX.... Not quite.
Re: "168gr" Hornady AMAX.... Not quite. Two things are going on here. On the one hand, you have a bit large (but not terribly unusual) bell curve distribution of factory bullets. On the other, you are weighing them with a compact electronic scale that will add it's own (not inconsiderable)...- scaxeman

F T/R Competition Bipod placement and accuracy
Re: Bipod placement and accuracy Generally speaking, for F-T/R, you are better off mounting your bipod as far forward as you can... More "wheelbase" leads to more stability, AS LONG AS the attachment point is solid. Having your bipod out at the muzzle won't help you if it's mounted on a wet...- scaxeman

F T/R Competition Savage F/TR 308, Berger 155.5 fullbore and seating
Re: Savage F/TR 308, Berger 155.5 fullbore and seating Marzo, My OAL (meplat) is 2.910" for the same load I referenced above. Naturally, I almost never measure it that way, I more commonly use the OAL (ogive) measurement; 2.209" due to the +/-.005" ish uncertainty in meplat lengths that are...- scaxeman

F T/R Competition Savage F/TR 308, Berger 155.5 fullbore and seating
Re: Savage F/TR 308, Berger 155.5 fullbore and seating Your chamber seems on the long side... I'm seating 155.5's to get a jump of ~.025". With this, in a factory Savage chamber, I'm seeing .185"+ of the bearing surface left in the case, which is plenty. Generally speaking, if you have over...- scaxeman

F T/R Competition Sorting cases by weight
Re: Sorting cases by weight Federal brass tends to be on the soft side, so most reloaders tend to shy away from it.
