    New 700, broken extractor.

    I have experienced this problem before. I found that the Remington extractor (only on the magnums) seems to break fairly often. Mine lasted 18 rounds of Hornaday Superformance before it broke. It looked to be "too short" but upon closer inspection I found that there was a piece missing. You can...

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    I normally don't start below max loads but from what I have read the Berger VLD's have a longer bearing surface than the 168 SMK's and the use of a magnum primer as apposed to a standard primer lead me to down grade the load a grain and start my work up from there. I use rcbs water based lube...

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    I'll keep you all updated on the results! I'll start my testing at 44 instead of 45 and give it another go. So far I am not impressed at all by the FC brass. It has needed ALOT of brass prep to come up to what I'm used to and it seems like it's almost more trouble than it's worth, (it would be...

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    You're telling me! I use RWS for the rouge, Lapua for the 6.5, and Norma for the 06. 308 is the black sheep in the crew with FC and CBC. This is the only caliber that I started reloading bafter everyone lost what little common sense they had left. The stuffs harder to find than hen's teeth.

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    So should I back my starting charge off another grain and reload it in some FC brass?

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    That's along the lines of what I was thinking. The only problem is all I have currently is BLC-2, CFE223, 8208 XBR, and H-1000

    308 cases sticky below minimum load. Help needed!

    Hello all, let me start out by saying that I have been reloading for a couple of years and I have yet to see this problem in my other calibers. I currently load and shoot 6.5 grendel, 300 rogue (300wm wildcat), 45 acp, 30-06, 7.62x39, 223 and my newest en-devour has been into 308. However...

    What is this on my 5R Bolt?

    That looks like someone was a little over eager with the belt sander. That should be the rivet for the Remington clip style extractor. As for the rim being raised, i would be concerned about that. My advice would be to take it to a local smith and seek professional advice as we cannot tell you...

    Opinions on CFE from hodgdon

    With my 6.5 grendel I've touched 2800 out of a 20" polygonal rifled barrel and a 108 Scenar 1/2MOA. 33.4grns of CFE My 308 also loves it when touched off behind a 168VLD at just about every charge weight 1/2MOA-1MOA Burns pretty clean. Matter of fact. Send me a few pounds because I can't...

    Chassis's ???

    Eliseo and don't look back! It uses a recoil disk for even recoil distribution and the recoil pulse is directly in line with the buttstock which gives you very minimal muzzle rise. I love mine.

    what chassis? apo, xlr, ax, or?

    PCR "Prac50" 50BMG

    Re: PCR "Prac50" 50BMG Kieth, I spoke to someone at your shop last week. I'll probably be in this week to drop of the stuff for my tube chassis build. PS: These posts of your work have done a lot to sway my choice of builder. Great marketing. Dave
