    want to start reloading

    Re: want to start reloading I started with the Sierra reloading manual, then I picked up a used RCBSrockchucker and RCBS reloader special for 50$ and 20$. picked up some used dies on eBay. A used 5-0-5 scale and recently picked up the Hornady manual. Read, read, read. As someone suggested...

    Rifle Scopes Rem700 is home, now I need mounts!!!

    Re: Rem700 is home, now I need mounts!!! 6X may not be enough for actual long range. 10X may be better for you. Good luck. By the way, i used TPS rings and rail. No complaints.

    .243 95 grain Matchking Load Data

    Re: .243 95 grain Matchking Load Data Can the ladder test or the OCW test be simplified by achieving a desired muzzle velocity. Seems to me, that what is changing in say an OCW test is the mv. So if there is a certain mv that is favorable for a certain length barrel can't I just load for mv?

    Rifle Scopes PST on its way

    Re: PST on its way I contacted Scott at Liberty optics and he replied promptly. I think that I will get a 4X14 X50mm PST in SFP when they are available. I don't know that I will miss the FFP. I am told that the quality is identical except for the reticle location.

    Why hunt with match ammo?

    Re: Why hunt with match ammo? One of my friends has a very nice setup. He has a customized 300 wsm with a NF scope and he shoots both target and hunting bullets. What he also does is have data for both. He can dial in his scope to whatever he is shooting. This is what my ultimate setup...

    Re: 308 OCW results. your comments please. XCR, I was merely pointing out that the military has done extensive research into the ammo for their sniper rifles. I do not wish to push my hunting round out to 1000 yds. I am content with having a very well shooting hunting rifle. One comment...

    308 OCW results. your comments please.

    Re: 308 OCW results. your comments please. I consulted 5 different loading manuals. Hornady, Speer, Nosler, Sierra, and Lyman I think and the average max was approx. 44.0. I felt this was a good safe max. I will eventually use a chrono to see if the load that I come up with is OK. I'm...

    Re: 308 OCW results. your comments please. A friend that helped me get into reloading supplied me with approx. 300 rounds of 308 ammo loaded in different cases all using 44.0 grs. of Win 748 powder. The groups that I shot during the OCW are not that impressive (best group is ~.5 moa). The...
