    Lee priming tool

    Re: Lee priming tool I have the new square type and once I finally get totally sick of this thing I think will get the rcbs tool to replace it. I really don't like it. Never tried the old style but it had to be better than mine. Have you tried Ebay? There are a couple up there right now.

    .308 Honady 178 HPBT & RL17 Need load

    Re: .308 Honady 178 HPBT & RL17 Need load I have to agree with Bear. Start at 43gr. I have some RL-17 on the way to go with some 178gr Amax. I have tried Varget and didn't really like my results so I am going to try some RL-17 under them. I will be starting either at 43 or 43.5gr. I have...

    How many handload for Rem 700 in .308

    Re: How many handload for Rem 700 in .308 Glad to see others found the lands to be way out there on the aac-sd. 178gr amax touches at 2.935" on mine. My mag length is 2.86" so I think getting anywhere near the lands would be impossible without making it a single shot. Since I have a Wyatts...

    .308 For 1k Questions

    Re: .308 For 1k Questions I am going through this very problem right now. I have a very accurate load (.414"@100/5shots)that averages 2423fps but that's not what I want in a 1000yd round. I need more velocity out of this 178gr Amax. Max charge per Hodgdon is 45gr. 45gr nets a lil over 2500fps...

    Investing in Ammo....wise?

    Re: Investing in Ammo....wise? So, you don't need it? You don't really want it?? It's hard as hell for people that do need it to get it? You have a connection which could probably get this person fired? I guess my main question here is are you going to use this ammo yourself when supplies...

    Re: 175smk seating depth Start close as you feel comfortable to the lands and make cartridges in descending length from there. Shoot them and see which groups best.

    Ballistic Figure Outters and such?

    Re: Ballistic Figure Outters and such? Shooter works well and it's free. You could pay $30 for Applied Ballistics but from what I have seen so far there isn't much difference. Pretty sure you can get them for Android and Apple now. Kestrel 4500 ($300) seems to be the gold standard for a...

    Scope and stock for myvAAC SD

    Re: Scope and stock for myvAAC SD You won't need a high magnification or variable scope to shoot 1000yds unless you really want to focus in on a piece of steel that far. Can't imagine why you would want to do that. If you plan on doing any range estimation with a mil-dot reticle then you want...

    Any tips for loading .40 S&W and .45 auto

    Re: Any tips for loading .40 S&W and .45 auto Happy with Titegroup for 9mm and 45acp. I can't imagine it would be bad for 40s&w either. Make sure you put a decent crimp on the case for auto pistols. They tend to jostle the rounds quite a bit under recoil and you don't want the bullet walking...

    Group testing Varget and 178gr AMAX (.308)

    Re: Group testing Varget and 178gr AMAX (.308) Looks like anything over 45gr is going to net a compressed load. Not a lot but just enough that I could hear it when the bullet fully seated at 45.5gr. Should I load these to the same OAL of 2.80" or should I maybe 2.85" or more? Or would it be...
