    Where can I find some LC LR or Match brass?

    Re: Where can I find some LC LR or Match brass? Clay, I have several hundred LC brass. It is all dated either 08 or 09. I will see exactly what it is and how much I have. It has the crimped primer pockets. Is this OK?

    Next node for 308

    Re: Next node for 308 Thanks for the replies. Actually my most accurate load is 42.5 gr. of RL15 under a 165 gameking seated to 2.78". I'm getting right at 2600 fps but a consistent 0.3 moa at 200 yds (5 shots). I was given the Varget recipe from a fellow Remmy 5r owner and thought I would...

    Next node for 308

    Re: Next node for 308 I still have the targets. I have already done an OCW and it shoot good. I was just wondering where the next node is. I'm not certain that I want to necessarily load that hot. I will be shooting two loads thru a chrono in the next couple of days and they are both...

    M118LR ammo question

    Re: M118LR ammo question This was fired on a training field where the border patrol agents and our military shoot. I have a box of live ammo and it is definitely M118 but not LR. It is not fired out of auto weapons.

    Next node for 308

    My current recipe for my Rem 5r in 308 is 44.8 gr. of Varget under a 165 gameking seated to 2.81. Any idea where the next node would be. In finding this load, I loaded from 44.8 to 46.2 in 0.2 gr. increments. It seemed that it was closing up again at the 46.2 but unfortunately that was the...

    M118LR ammo question

    I have a bunch of '08 and '09 LC once fired brass that I am planning on using. I will have to swedge the primer pockets as part of the process. I have a recipe to replicate the M118LR ammo (43.1 gr. of RE15, using 175 gk, etc.). My question: I read that actual M118 primers are not crimped...

    Filler material for subsonic loads

    Re: Filler material for subsonic loads Clark, that is really ingenious. The 'hide comes thru again. I looked it up and trailboss seems to be the solution. Thanks again.

    Filler material for subsonic loads

    Would like to get your input on the best filler material to use in loading subsonic 308 loads. I have tried c.o.w. and polyester filling. The wheat left the barrel visibly dirty and I am afraid what the polyester residue will be. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Re: 308 165 gr. SGK with Varget Thanks pappy. I will make a note of this load. I agree with working up to the desired load as you mention.

    308 165 gr. SGK with Varget

    Re: 308 165 gr. SGK with Varget Thanks for the response Lukeva, however, I developed an OCW for a 5r with a very similar load to the one you mentioned. I use 42.5 gr. of reloader 15 with 165 gr. SGK at 2.77 coal. I shoots great in my 5r, but out of this rifle (20" barrel) I only get a...

    New stick!! Remington LTR in 308. 20" with a 1:12 twist. I will be using 165 gr. sierra gameking (hunting) and Varget powder. Any load recipe recommendations? I am looking for both accuracy and long range. Thanks in advance for your input.

    Rifle Scopes Good Deal?

    Re: Good Deal? fdkay, I didn't mention having any reservations concerning the reticle. In fact, I really like the fine duplex reticle. As far as the knobs, this will be a hunting scope and had a concern about the high turrets. The scope is in really good shape and when Leupold gives it a...

    Rifle Scopes Good Deal?

    Re: Good Deal? BobinNC, the only advantage would be the zero stop. The CDS dial would be to dial in a known distance for BDC but I can do that with the knobs that are on it now.
