    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Thanks for helping, it's just that I couldn't find any information on HOW MUCH more pressure I might see. And HOW MANY less grains I should use to stay safe. I guess maybe I will just start with 2.80" OAL and play with charge first. Then I...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety WASP, While I understand what you are saying about the pressure being high inside the cartridge if you pack the bullet in tighter, that is not the only concern with pressure (and not my concern here). Did you read what I typed above in caps...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I don't know that I said I have shot any such rifle. If I did it must have been a typo? My .22 will shoot 1" and sometimes under on a good day with no wind. On an average day with the .22 about 1.5" is average when I'm trying. If you are...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Thank you as well skinny, maybe I will try that for say 10 or 15 rounds and see how it shoots. My rifle has been inaccurate so far though with factory. Mostly around the 2" mark at 100 yards with 3 different kinds. I have heard distance of...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Thank you for a thoughful comment. Yes I read that the 700 has a very long throat several times. I did not see a trend where most with 700's jump 2.82". Are you saying that is what most people do? I would love to make this easier and just...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I should add that soon after this quote Hornady mentions you can safely seat the bullet on the lands, but you must reduce your charge by "a few grains" to be safe. Since I know many hear reload for .308 using 4064 and 168gr bullets resting...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I have the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading on my lap. I read the discussion of reloading in general, and looked at the included .308 charts. 168gr bullets are not listed unfortunately. Hence my caution and my questions here. So...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Funny thing about everyone on here telling me to just spend more money. I don't have a few hundred more dollars to spend on something I might not enjoy. This tool has worked for others like me (about 140 of them on cabelas.com) Could any...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    I have been wanting to reload for a while now, and finally have all the components together and I'm ready to start, but before I did I wanted to make sure I am being safe. My set up: Lee Classic Loader (the one where you use a mallet to re-size the case neck, tap the primer in and seat the...

    Rifle Scopes mil dot size per 100

    Re: mil dot size per 100 Nothing against people who like profiles filled out, but he obviously just had an earnest question and IMO it makes more sense to just help him out. Good point above with going to a known range and using the ranging calculations to figure out the size of the dots...

    Rifle Scopes mil dot size per 100

    Re: mil dot size per 100 Who cares if he filled out his profile or not? He just has a simple question, and if someone can't or doesn't want to answer it then why post? If it's a round army style mil dot it should be .2 of a mil. If it is football shaped like the marines supposedly use it...

    Rifle Scopes New Weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil vs Super Sniper

    I saw the sale at midway on the Weaver Grand Slam 3-10x40 mil/mil scope and I haven't been able to find much on it. Lowlight did a video on it and he seemed to like the scope, but I am torn between this scope and the Super Snipers, particularly the fixed 10x version. I have asked this in two...

    Rifle Scopes Best sub $500.00 scope?

    Re: Best sub $500.00 scope? I've been trying to find out how the Weaver 3.5-10 compares to the SS 10x in terms of glass, repeatability and quality of construction. Has anyone tried both?

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video

    Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video How does this scope compare to the super snipers? Is the glass better? I'm assuming it's not quite as durable as it's 1". I also have a Bushnell 10x, and I was thinking of ordering the ss 10x as an upgrade. I could definitely use a variable as...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy "I can't watch this anymore. You bought a decent piece of machinery, you have to stop shopping at Walmart for parts. If I just bought a brand new Shelby stang and wanted to go race it do you think I bought my chip at Autozone. You've gotten lots of good info...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy It's just that it's getting to be one thing after another you know? I never had this problem with my Marlin .22, my Winchester Shotgun or my CZ .22. Never had any problems at all. Now I get this 700 and I've had to buy 3 sets of rings so far, I'm going to...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy What does o/o spec mean? Jagged's rig had the same exact symptoms as me, only his pics were even worse. He went to the single piece base everything was apparently fine. It seems that almost no one outside this board has even heard of bedding a base. Even...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy I bought my gun new from Remington last year... Lol. They started making SPS like 5 years ago... Thanks for the tip but unless I'm missing something there is no way this could apply to me. Thanks though, and what do people think about the update?
