    308 .30 Berger VLD. I'm confused

    So I received the loading specs from Berger for the VLD 185gr Hunting round. The documentation shows the start load to be 37.5gr of Varget with the max load being 41.6 at 101.7% capacity and vel of 2535fps. So i started off with 37.7 and worked my way up to 40.7 as the math shows that 40.9 is...

    Velocity Change in the wrong direction?

    Re: Velocity Change in the wrong direction? Jerry, the ammo was 72 degrees in the house and taken outside where the low in the morning was 67 and the afternoon 72.. Lumpy, brand new battery that day.. Less than 3 hours on time all day.

    Velocity Change in the wrong direction?

    Re: Velocity Change in the wrong direction? 44.4 was actually my best group, lowest SD, lowest ES. I just found it very odd that the velocity would drop. I timed all shots, 2 minutes between shots, 5 minutes between 5 shot groups. Its possible that it got to a threshold after 45 rounds...

    Velocity Change in the wrong direction?

    Re: Velocity Change in the wrong direction? Shadow, in my rifle, over 50 rounds I saw a definite 15-20 fps increase per .1 grain increase. This was true right up until I hit the last 5 rounds in my set, at the highest load I was shooting that day. I wish I'd had another load at 44.5 to see...

    Velocity Change in the wrong direction?

    This weekend I was load testing and fired 50 rounds, 5 shots each, per .1 grain of powder. I came up with an odd result. All rounds were loaded in the same sitting from the same batch of once fired fully prepped brass, that was also prepped in the same sitting. All shooting was done in the...

    20", 24", or 26"

    Re: 20", 24", or 26" my 308 can is the best purchase I made on my rifle, second only to good glass. Recoil is reduced, cross hairs stay on target throughout the entire recoil duration, there's no blink or flinch. The sound suppression is the lowest priority positive aspect of a suppressor...

    Suppressors YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners

    Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners I love mine. Makes shooting all day very pleasant. My POI shifts high about 1/2" at 100 yards. I haven't found any decrease in accuracy out to 600 yards.

    Range Report Range Report - First Timer Load Workup

    Re: Range Report - First Timer Load Workup Doc, thanks! I was performing a ladder test akin to the one found here, http://www.lima-wiederladetechnik.de/Englisch/Laddertest.htm According to the theory of that article, shots 3-6 and 12-15 (even though 14 and 16 look pulled, it was starting to...

    Range Report Range Report - First Timer Load Workup

    Well, today was my first time with my hand loads. I think, all in all it did pretty well. I'm not sure about the velocity going up and the POI coming down, though. What do you think? Two groups I think I'm going to play with.. Shots 3-6 and 12-15. I hope 14 and 16 were me pulling the...

    Suppressors Question and reviews on YHM Phantom 5.56 and 7.62

    Re: Question and reviews on YHM Phantom 5.56 and 7.62 KPK, I own both. Although, my 7.62 is thread mounted for my 308 and the 556 is QD for my AR. I've never run the 762 on my AR I actually prefer the 7.62. I think its quieter than the 556, but its apples to oranges. My AR is a 10.5...

    Reloading benches, and work areas, lets see 'em

    Re: Reloading benches, and work areas, lets see 'em So, here's my setup. Bare with me, its pretty sparse, but I've yet to reload a single round and I'm actually waiting on the big brown truck to drop off the rest of my stuff tomorrow so I can actually start reloading. I have a bench in my...

    Brand New Reloader - and I can't even start!

    Re: Brand New Reloader - and I can't even start! I only got a thousand because I just dumped a lot of money on all the startup gear. Telling the wife that the money I spent on reloading equipment didn't actually include anything to reload went over like a lead balloon. Hah, oh well. She'll...

    Bullet and Case variances - Help for a newb?

    To start with, I'm brand new to reloading. In fact, I haven't reloaded a single round yet. My last two shipments of gear arrive next week. So anyways, years ago I saw a special on Army snipers, I believe, and they showed the armory guys reloading ammunition. They were weighing the cases and...

    Brand New Reloader - and I can't even start!

    So, all my reloading gear has either arrived or is arriving. I've got 300 federal match 308 cases tumbled and half way prepped. I've got powder, bullets, and just about everything..... except some damn PRIMERS! I can't find anywhere in Houston that has primers. This is rediculous. I live...
