    Interesting history on .308win

    Re: Interesting history on .308win I came across some odd looking, presumed to be old .308 cartridges about a year ago. I'm going to try and find it in one of my bins because the "FAT" headstamp sounds familiar. I wonder wat one of those 30-80 cartridge boxes goes for?

    HELP Redding Competition Die Diagram or Photo need

    Okay. I am at my wits end! I have a Redding Competition Bushing Neck Sizing die (Micrometer Head). I dismantled it a few days ago to clean the factory goo off. I put it back together but something isn't jiving. I cannot get the neck to size to the shoulder, about .060 away, and the decapping...

    Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308

    Re: Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308 FGMMM, BlackHills and others are good, consistent cartridges. They may not be the peak of accuracy, but they are accurate enough for most people. Someday you may want to venture out of the .308 Winchester shell and try a caliber that is not factory...

    Bad Winchester Brass

    Re: Bad Winchester Brass Yeah that's why I am in the process of necking down x300 .300 WSM NORMA brass to 7mm. Hence my posting here with so many questions about doing it. So many replies from shooters asking why not just use Win brass in 7 WSM My overall experience with Win brass has been...

    Bad Winchester Brass

    Re: Bad Winchester Brass My UPS guy just dropped a Sinclair Box that had 100 rnds WIN 7mm WSM brass. I opened it immediately. A quick check and none of my cases had the problems you are experiencing. Of course I haven't shot them yet either.

    Annealing Machine interest and ideas

    Re: Annealing Machine interest and ideas jonaddis84- It sounds like you have a good idea going. Especially to keep the costs down to sell more units. I have a couple of comments, but not necessarily on the design of the machine. Have you taken a Marketing or Patent course yet? If you haven't...

    Dial Caliper- where to start. + Newbie Stuff.

    Re: Dial Caliper- where to start. + Newbie Stuff. I'm a machinist and am pretty anal on metrology tools. I say get a Mitutoyo, digital or dial. Top quality, and unless you drop them on the cement floor, they will last your lifetime. E-Bay is the way to go to get a deal. Make sure there are...

    .300 / 7mm WSM neckingdown ?'s

    Good day fellow shooters. I have been reloading for over 20 years but mostly for hunting applications and a few target applications. My most recent project is necking down .300 WSM brass to make 7mm WSM using Norma brass. I have never necked down, or "wildcatted" a cartridge so I have a few...

    7mm RSAUM vs 7mm WSM? I need help!!

    Re: 7mm RSAUM vs 7mm WSM? I can tell you two things from my experience. I shoot handloaded .300 RSAUM with 190 gr SMK's out of a AR-10(TU). I also have a Remington Model 700 Ti and Remington Model Seven in the same chambering. Great cartridge! The Armalite shoots about .400" and has given...

    How Do You Get Consistant COAL?

    Re: How Do You Get Consistant COAL? I have been loading SMK's for the .300 RSAUM (180 Hunting & 190 LR) and .308 (168) for years. Most recently when loading the 190 gr. for an AR-10 (TU) I found a .015 variation on COAL. I am a machinist so I have the proper overkill metrology equipment to...

    Rifle Scopes Internal Bubble Anti Cant on Scopes?

    Re: Internal Bubble Anti Cant on Scopes? Thanks GENTS! These never came up on a Google search for "Anti-Cant". I do like the Holland AC since it appears to be on the same plane as your dominant eye. The Superior Shooting AC looks like it may be obscured by the scope bell, or is lower than...

    Rifle Scopes Internal Bubble Anti Cant on Scopes?

    Can somebody in the optics industry tell me why scopemakers are not making internal anti-cant bubbles in their scopes? I have an older Springfield Armory scope on my AR-10 (TU) that has the internal Anti-Cant bubble. It is circa year 2000 when they still made good scopes, and the optical...
