    Re: AR loads vs Bolt loads For me it varies. If I am single loading them, or feeding fom the magazine. Each one will have its own set up (charge weight, oal), due to different chambers. Another consideration is the gas system of each. I have used a bolt gun load with 1.5 grain reduce charge...

    Reloading .308 on Dillon 550

    Re: Reloading .308 on Dillon 550 Have you considered Reloader 15. Pretty close to Varget and meters with ease. I use both and they are pretty close to each other when it comes to charges of same load. Also share the same temp sensitivity.

    .308 varying OAL

    Re: .308 varying OAL just load em and go shoot. Sierra bullets, despite being dimensionally challenged with the length varying all over the place still do shoot well. That is the advice I took without even reading the post. I shot my first f-class (service category) match this past...

    Re: RE-15 or IMR-4064? Same here I switched to Rl15 for my M118 replica, only because it burns cleaner, and its made in the US. I use less powder to get the same velocities as varget. Biggest thing for me is the ease when it comes to metering. Yes the Gov did go to Rl-15 only because of its...
