    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    What velocities are you getting with that load. My WCC 175 Varget load has my node at 44.2gr. Giving me around 2550 from my 20" bolt gun. Just about enough push and hopefully get me out to about 1100yards before I hit the sub/transonic section in my region of where I shoot at.

    Changed powder, now shooting low?

    OP did you really just state you changed both bullets and powder and you don't understand why your getting POI shift? Before you get jumpy I'm not saying this in a dick tone but its kinda self explanatory. But I'll go into some detail. For 1 IMR48 is a slower burning powder than H48. So your...

    Anyone have any experience with pulled SMK'S

    I personally have never run pulled or seconds. But know a few guys that so and have no complaints. They don't run them in their comp loads because they don't spend that money for the fee to take that chance. But for weekend practice or plinking they seem to be happy with them. After their...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Just tried your 9mm case idea and with about 5% case space left with the Hornady stuff came out to 11.5gr. Varget had about 10% case space to weigh 11.5gr. 5% space was around 12.0 to 12.5gr IMR4895 with about 5% case left came out to 11.5 exactly as did the Hornady. But.. The Hornady...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Well that didnt go well........... Pulled the Hornady bullet again, of course on the swing the cap came off and the bullet came out and the powder flew all over my work bench.. So there goes that. I have all of 15.4gr left of the 44.0 gr charge.. So no more comparing from my end.

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    That's why I'm hoping someone with a 168 or 175 can pop in and weigh one out. This is a precision forum I'm sure here has to be a ton of guys with at least 1 round of one or the other they can open up. Give us a better look at what Hornady works with. Also Hornady's site advertises it's a...

    Results of Ladder Test and 100-yrd Groups. Where should I go from here?

    Exited for so many spelling errors due to Auto Correct. The chrono theory is nice, in theory. But anyone that has used a chrono or many knows chrono's are off and just ball parks. You line up 5 of the best quality chrono's all in a row and each one will give you a different number. So...

    Results of Ladder Test and 100-yrd Groups. Where should I go from here?

    46.1 and 46.4 seem to be the obvious load. Now load away and play with seating depths.

    How do you dispose of live primers?

    I shoot them. My dead ones I just throw in the trash. Never had to waste a live primer yet. We'll maybe like 3 or 4 from seating them sideways but still just the trash.

    IMR powder

    I always see a lot of talk when it comes to stuff like this mostly powders. And guys talking about that temperature change between powders being such a fraction and how huge it alters their results.. Then 4 months later you see their groups are 1MOA at best. Then it makes you think... How did...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Not sure if you saw my video of the powders I'll re post it. I took it down because I found it to be irrelevant.. You say H4895 I know IMR is Hogdon but IIRC those are not the same powders. But similar.. Video - Hornady uses Varget? - YouTube Both Hornady's pulled 155gr powder, and...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Broke apart the Hornady Match round I had. Came out to 44.0 grains exactly. This is a 155gr bullet. Again its a 155 H-Match round measuring at 44.0gr of what looks almost identical to Varget. Anyone have a 168 and 175 H-Match they can break apart and weigh out?

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    I'll do you one better. I have 1 old Hornady 155 bullet I found in my ammo can from like 5 years ago. I'll pull that and weigh the charge. Anyone have a 168gr Varget load they have preforms the same as Hornady in their rifle they would gladly post to compare? I have both 168 Amax's and...

    Has anyone else noticed..?

    I kind of have a theory that it create less vibrations and harmonics via the barrel. Take water for instance, you dunk something in softly you get very similar small wakes, slam something hard and you get huge wakes that fade off into the smaller longer quakes. Also as was posted above the...

    .308 Bullet and powder selection for 18" barrel

    Past about 500 yards you still start to see the difference. The 175 is less vulnerable to the wind and other elements. Also heavier bullets usually carry more momentum and speed in the long run. Light is easier to get going but doesn't hold the speed as long. Heavier takes a bit more but carries...
