    reloading for .308

    Re: reloading for .308 Your right velocity has nothing to do with accuracy. I don't know what twist your barrel has but if I was in your shoes I'd be looking at 168 gr A max or matchkings, benchrest primers and a starting load 10% below max of Varget, in cases that were trimmed, flash hole...

    Another new guy

    I've been lurking for a while now and have found this site quite interesting. Although not much of a long range shooter (yet) I do have some long range equipment, just never had the chance to shoot past 100 yds. I live about 10 miles from the new range in Liberty hill Tx where they have out to...
