    Rem 700 SPS .308

    Re: Rem 700 SPS .308 I have had a SPS-V for a year now and shoots well under MOA @100 and 200. I use the Hornady sst 150g for hunting and they are very accurate. When I shoot my hand loads with the 168 amax it gets even better. You will like it alot.

    Bumping the shoulder on a loaded round

    Re: Bumping the shoulder on a loaded round I just had to do this to 30 loaded rounds myself. I have RCBS FL dies and I took the de-capping pin out and lubed REAL good and resized the primed brass. Again take the decaping pin out.

    bolt hard to close question

    Re: bolt hard to close question Another Update... worked on this again yesterday and started with my FL die 1 turn out and started turning it in until brass would chamber. By the time I was done and one chambered my die was screwed in to the shell holder and then a quarter turn in more...

    bolt hard to close question

    Re: bolt hard to close question An update... I tried more last night and still have the same problem of not chambering. Looked at RCBS's(my dies) website and they say to put the die in until it touches the shell holder and then turn it in an 1/8th or 1/4 turn more. What do you guys think...

    bolt hard to close question

    Re: bolt hard to close question Not trying to steel the thread but i have the same problem now. I did the same process as usual and brass will not load. I noticed on my other loads that there was a line on the neck where the FL die appeared to stop so I tried to adjust it down. Put several...

    .243 vs .308

    Re: .243 vs .308 Like said above there are plus's to each. You did say you were going to reload and with that I would go the 308 route and run a lighter weight bullet around the 140g mark or what ever and go from there. You could always buy heavier factory rounds when needed or roll them...

    Load work for my SPS V 308

    Well I finally got to the range this past weekend to try my hand on load work. Through help from folks here and ChadTRG42 in particular I found what I think is the "sweet spot" for my rig. My final load is Win brass, RE15 @ 44.5g, 210m primers and 168g amax (naked) set at 2.810. The rifle is...

    308 Vargert or Rl-15

    Re: 308 Vargert or Rl-15 Dar, I have been trying to figure this one out myself. I read through the SH reloading depot section and found that Varget is used a little more probably due to not being as temp sensitive. But I noticed that they are quite close in FPS with the edge going to varget...

    Seekins DBM...

    Re: Seekins DBM... J, sounds good. Was there any issue with the trigger guard being smaller. Not sure if it is but from the pics it looks to be.

    Seekins DBM...

    I was looking at Seekin's site and saw the DBM, has anyone used it? Also does the mag release shorten the trigger guard and possibly make it harder to get finger on trigger when wearing gloves? I could have emailed Glen on this but really want to see pics of this setup on a rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon and XTR rings???

    Re: Falcon and XTR rings??? Mr. H, I am going to do that but thought I would ask the question anyway tonight. And yes that is the space, between the turrets and the zoom ring. It looks like it will be tight but still fit.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon and XTR rings???

    I have a Falcon Menace 4-14x44 on the way and some Burris XTR rings. I have searched and found some pictures but none with this setup. From the looks of the pics I am not sure if the xtr rings will fit in the back half of the scope. Is anyone running this and can you post pics? Thanks all

    Rifle Scopes 700 monts and rings

    Re: 700 monts and rings Tom you would not have to change mount or rings if you just change the stock. If you change barrel to a different contour then maybe.
