    Magnum primers OK in .308?

    Re: Magnum primers OK in .308? Back off on the powder charge and re-chrono from 2 to 3gr down. Magnum primers particularly in military brass could present you with an unwanted surprise. zfk55

    1st try at annealing. What do the experts think?

    Re: 1st try at annealing. What do the experts think? We're avid reloaders here and even have a lot of 1,000 Norma 7.5x55 bought some 20 years ago that are on their 20th+ reloads. If you're showing any red at all using your torch, you're over-annealing and will substantially shorten case life...

    Major *%$#^& Problem Reloading! Funny Story

    Re: Major *%$#^& Problem Reloading! Funny Story Every projectile type has its own profile. VLD's are longer nosed than a Sierra etc. OAL means little to a projectile profile that is very long in the nose. Where the ogive contacts the lands/grooves is the critical factor. An easy way to work...

    Rifle Scopes Imminent purchase and I need user opinions.

    Re: Imminent purchase and I need user opinions. Thanks, JR. We agree with you. Virtually all of my scope work has been with fixed 6, 8 and 4x12 as far back as 40 years ago. This is my first foray into the world of so-called tactical scopes. My son is actually better versed than I, but both...

    School me on hBN

    Re: School me on hBN The only reason we didn't go with Lower Friction is that its in Canada and the other one is in Denver. Just shipping charges and duty reasons and time in transit. Not a big deal. Negative 5 is negative 5. Bore burnishing was simply because the factory tech told us to do...

    School me on hBN

    Re: School me on hBN I'm going to disagree with the barrel prep answer. When we began, I called the tech rep at the Chicago factory. Actually if you want to insure a properly burnished bore you will need to follow a sequence. The hexagonal shape of the particles have a couple of unique...
