    Reloading press induced runout?

    Not really necessary in my opinion, FWIW. Dies are the key component. If you leave the shell holder floating then the case can centre in the die anyway. Similarly a turret press should not have any effect on runout if the case is fully supported in the die, the shell holder can float and the...

    Yet another 'beginner reloading setup' question: this list sufficient?

    An alternative view...! This list is OTT (!)/ What you need are: Lee press Lee press priming tool - I have wasted too much money on crappy hand priming tools that promise much, cost plenty and are a crock of ^&*(. The press tool works fine and gives plenty 'feel'. Lee case length tool Lee...

    Rifle Scopes Tall Target Test. Check my math.

    Thanks, I had a head melt there for a minute... You have identified an error in my sums. On the basis of my crude test, one click equals 0.278 not the 0.260 I had thought (Forgot that one click is 1/4 moa not 0.25') It will be interesting to see if this stacks up on the tall target test

    Rifle Scopes Tall Target Test. Check my math.

    I appreciate the response. 20 moa at 100 yards gives 50"?? With a .25" click 20 moa gives 20" at 100 yards, No?

    Rifle Scopes Tall Target Test. Check my math.

    Ok, similar theme. Is this logic correct? I need to confirm this with a tall target test next week, but as a sighter i put up a vertical steel rule, checked with a level and ranged it with a laser at 51 yards (numerous times). Heavily sandbagged rifle. The reticle is NF MOAR. I used the...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs MRAD (another newb question)

    don't sweat it. both just angles. the reticles are just a ruler across your scope. Just make sure the knobs and reticle match, nothing else matters much. if you are new go with mils. no particular advantage but it seems to be the common preference? Historically things were MOA Ignore...

    Concentricity Gauge how important?

    This is the point for me. It brings QA/QC to reloading. You can methodically work through your process step by step and check that you are getting a 'quality' result. If not you can work at it until you do. After that the odd check to ensure that your standards are maintained is good enough...

    Range Report Nosler Ballistic Tip vs. A-MAX 308 Win

    Accuracy wise I get a shade less than 0.5 moa on all three of them (at different weights) with no loading 'effort' so don't sweat it. Tighter than that - I have no knowledge. I was an advocate of the Amax as a dual hunting target round. Not any more. Stuff smaller than Red deer sure, but I had...

    Barrel break in

    There was a post on here years ago from one of the barrel manufacturers. He said he put a barrel break in procedure on his website as people kept phoning him up for one. They were never happy being told that it was unnecessary. He had work to do so he just put something on his site to stop...

    reality check on reloading

    It isn't going to get a whole lot better than that in reality. There are some very good factory loads. I think the point of reloading with such good quality ammo out there is to a) shoot more for less and b) load stuff you can't buy. 308 is a great calibre to reload, huge range of heads...

    SD and ES problems: primer related?

    OK so there are some big learning points for me in this discussion. I can play with primer and seating depth easy enough. Neck tension consistency is less clear. I had never bothered to turn necks as I don't have a tight chamber but this thread would suggest that this may be worthwhile from a...

    How long for load developement

    One. 308, so well known. Do the thinking/research at home. As per post above, if I am 2800+ and it is shooting to a standard that I can expect from that style of rifle then I am good to go. Even out of Sako hunting rifle I am getting 0.5 moa. You can spend your life chasing very marginal...

    Questions for AI owners

    Well I thought the point of the AE was that you get the benefits of the AW without the price tag. So something similar with the scope would be appropriate ? Buy something decent but don't get hung up on S&B ?

    Best all round .308 barrel length?

    Exactly. No basis for a decision on this thread other than popularity. I tend to agree with the view that if you are beyond 800 a lot then a 6.5 is probably a better option. Other than that it depends on use and hit probability. 20" is easier to get out the truck door but loses some...
