    Varget

    How did you find this load? Ladder test, OCW, groups?? What is the recipe?

    Did your POI change?

    This sucker Remington AAC-SD just won't shoot...

    Have you let anyone else shoot this rifle to see if they get the same accuracy?

    Range Report Bullet questions.....need your advice

    Perfectly normal. That's how those bullets come when you buy them. Match bullets are more about bullet concentricity. The irregular meplats won't make a difference in flight. They will however cause cartridge OAL differences when measuring from bullet tip and not bullet ogive.

    Help: case not fitting chamber correctly

    I thought that when I first read it but then I noticed he loaded OAL to 2.81" I think the scratch is happening when he ejects the unfired round. The bullet is scraping b/c it is being pushed out as the bolt is pulled back.

    Help: case not fitting chamber correctly

    Was the brass fired in YOUR rifle before you reloaded it or was it fired in an UNKNOWN rifle? If the shoulder of your brass is not pushed back enough to fit your chamber then you won't be able to close the bolt. And just b/c it will or won't work in your rifle doesn't mean it will or won't in...

    OCW test, did I blow it?

    Ryedaddy, I don't know where your post went to that you quoted me in but this was it: "It's funny to me that someone would imply that the smallest group on the target that shares POI with the 2 increments preceding it(and likely the one or two following) that are seen closing up tighter was not...

    Load data?

    Is 54.5grs a typo?? I wouldn't ever start that close to the listed maximum in the book.

    OCW test, did I blow it?

    It's funny to me that people immediately jump to the tightest group as the load to go with on an OCW test. With so much info out there on how to perform and read an OCW how do so many people make the mistake? You are probably going to find a good node somewhere between 43.5 and 44.5gr Varget...

    Range Report COAL and POI

    If you make notes for the difference between BHA and your load then all you will have to do is dial in the extra windage for the shift depending on which ammo you zero with. If your zero is set with BHA then in your log book make a note that your load shoots x amount left or right at 100yds or...

    Compact packaging of .308 rounds in Sierra 30 caliber bullet boxes...

    You think that's a dirty lube pad? Mine reminds me of the rear bumper of a garbage truck. Maybe we need a "post your dirty RCBS lube pad" thread. We could vote on a winner. Mine is pretty old and I am the second owner.

    Range Report COAL and POI

    Lots of different things could be playing a part in this. Is your neck tension the same as the BH ammo? Same powder, same charge? Same primers? The list could go on I am sure. It could come down to the timing of the bullet exiting the barrel and it probably will. If you only change one thing in...

    Compact packaging of .308 rounds in Sierra 30 caliber bullet boxes...

    That is a lot more compact than reusing old cardboard factory ammo boxes. Will definitely try it. Thanks for posting.

    Rifle Scopes Okay?! CrossHair

    Dial UP to make your impact go up. Dial down to make your impact go down. Adjust focus until your target and reticle are in focus. Squeeze trigger until you hear bang. Once you get your zero, loosen the set screws on the turret, spin it to zero and tighten the set screws. If you need to range...

    Prone, and back pain

    Are you feeling tension in your neck while shooting? If so, you may need to adjust your cheek weld position or your rest/stock. I was getting a lot of neck tension because I was holding my head up slightly to align my eye with the scope. I couldn't go any lower with the scope so I got a stock...

    168 Amax .308, 44.7 grain Varget, 2.815 OAL out of a 20 incher.......

    You should be knocking on the door of 2600fps. In my AAC-SD 44.6gr Varget/168 AMAX/FL sized LC brass/Winchester LR primers = 2579fps avg. 45gr averaged at 2601fps. 44.8gr averaged at 2580fps. Needless to say I found a node between those. I think the numbers kind of give it away. Seems like...

    Overpressure, overnight...

    Let's verify a few things here because I don't think loading .020" longer is going to cause a pressure issue. These rounds are being used in the same chamber as they were worked up for? These have been shot 5 times with or without bumping the shoulder back? Has the barrel been cleaned recently...

    Scope movement

    No need to refer me. They all were/are hypocrites. But, in Luke something, something, something 'judge not and you shall not be judged'. I don't know the verse/chapter but you get the picture. Just because many before have done it doesn't make it right. This is not one of those instances where...
