    Conflicting reloading data

    Re: Conflicting reloading data I load for a REPR and bolt gun. Bolt guns you can increase pressure until the bolt sticks. Gas guns, you can't.

    load development and wind conditions

    What reloading manuals do you have?

    Re: What reloading manuals do you have? Lyman, Speer, Hornady, Lapua, Vihta Vuori. The Precision Shooting Reloading guide edited by Dave Brennan is excellent. Get a chronograph next. The Magnetospeed is a good choice.

    Lower back pains , any suggestions ??

    Re: Lower back pains , any suggestions ?? The truth is that we as individuals are uniquely responsible for ourselves. When I hurt my knee sparring in jiu jitsu several years ago, I asked our lead instructor if I should go see a doctor. His response was, "that's one man's opinion." Going to...

    Do I resize new Lapua brass?

    Re: Do I resize new Lapua brass? Peace. It's hard to determine cause and effect unless we control all the variables. There's a lot going on inside a rifle chamber at ignition.

    First time shooting reloads...all fingers intact

    Re: First time shooting reloads...all fingers intact You will find magnum shooters loading with regular large rifle primers, and you will find 308 shooters loading with small rifle primers. If you are happy with your results, go for it. But I would compare them to loads with the regular large...
