    Can anyone approximate the .308 Winchester Federal Gold Match 175gr load

    1J04 that's a terrific view from your bench- can ask where-abouts that is? (I too have a boring 5R: dropped mine in a XLR chassis similar to what you show, and have nothing but fun shooting it; makes me look like I know what I'm doing....)

    Can anyone approximate the .308 Winchester Federal Gold Match 175gr load

    A couple of years back, I was running low on Varget, and it was hard to find. I happened to be at a local range and was talking to a guy shooting a .308 and his groups at 200 & 300 yards were really impressive; he was using IMR 4064. On the way way home I stopped at my favorite guns shop and...

    finding seating depth questions???

    You say you jammed a round a tenth of an inch into the lands? And A) You were able to close the bolt and B) your gun didn't blow up when you touched it off? Wow....

    finding seating depth questions???

    Not sure I understand your question: "... jump a round into the grooves" is a bit confusing to me. If you actually mean jump, I think that depends on your chamber dimensions. For example my .308 has such a long throat if I try to get close to the lands I won't have enough bullet in the case to...

    What are your personal accuracy goals?

    At 100 yards I like a ragged hole with 5 shots: doesn't matter if I'm shooting my 5.56 or my .308. Sometimes I'll get that, sometimes I don't. After that when I go long, I'm happy to hit the steel. Long for me is 300 to 600 with the 5.56 and 300 to 1,000 with the .308. [ I graduate size of...

    handgun load for big bears

    Are you handloading your own? If so, take a look at beartooth bullets http://www.beartoothbullets.com. They call the 280gr WFN the 'sledgehammer': https://www.beartoothbullets.com/open_sight/archive_open_sight.htm/19 They have a good write up on various bullets here...

    Can't make an accurate hand load to save my life

    Page 538 of 1st Edition Berger Bullets Reloading manual doesn't list IMR 4350, it does list H4350. I have never used 4350, but I have seen very different results between H4895 and I4895 in the same gun; just saying. (Berger lists a max charge weight for H4350 at 40.7 grains.) The Hodgdon...

    Help with sizing

    I don't load for belted cartridges, but I just googled "300 win mag won't chamber' a couple of responses suggest bumping the shoulder back which I don't quite understand since it headspaces off the belt. One post suggested "Try backing the RCBS die out an additional 1/4 to 3/8 turn. It could be...

    Your Eclipse Experience

    I considered driving north but talked myself out of it because what I knew would be a 200 mile stand still traffic jam on the way home. None the less I set up my telescope and spotting scope in the front yard here in Salt Lake, and enjoyed the 91% with a few of my neighbors. Next north...

    Bulk reloading dilemma

    That's what I'm thinking too. During the election run-up, I started a 10,000 rounds for Hillary project. Kept me busy, but now I've got just under 10k rounds of 'quality' plinking ammo that I wouldn't think twice about using on a 'yote..... (And I did them all on a Rock Chucker single stage!)

    Movie Theater Shooter TV Show

    Watched the first season on Netflix and I'm recording the second. It's okay; sometimes it pegs the WTF meter. As others have mentioned, kevlar / ar500 tables etc. First thing I noticed was absolutely no recoil when he is behind a long gun. Its TV and nothing more.

    Are matched receivers any more accurate?

    It wouldn't be so amusing if it weren't so true! I'm pleased to say that both my AR builds have never shot factory ammo.
