    best alliant powder for .223 / .308?

    RL-15 for 75 and 77's in the .223 and RL-15 for 168 / 175 in .308. Charge wt. in both is within tenths of Varget charge wts.

    Adjustable Gas Block Options

    I need a .875 also. I called and spoke with DA7 people and he advised that they are working on a .875 version. He advised that it should be about a month or so away from production. Design is done, he just needed to get some CNC machine time. The DA7 looks like the best option for me on a LMT MWS.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Totally agree with docglock...I wish I had a high speed camera like we had before I retired. I really think that when stripping a round from the mag, the rim is not sliding under the extractor as it should. I am assuming of course that it should operate like a 1911 extractor but what do I know...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Shoot...Try a double tap from the 3 yd. line and from a concealed holster point shooting with one hand as fast as you can safely. If it will function 100% that way you are good to go. Mine could not get thru 2 mags without a FTF using a 2 handed death grip and the gun dripping in Slip 2000 EWL...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Welcome to the club. I have an XDS that has a like number of FTF and light primer strikes. It is being caused by a failure to go all the way into battery by about 1 MM. There are pages and pages of like problems regarding this pistol if you do a search on the net. Springfield says it is not...

    Magneto Speed Help

    I would give Magnetospeed a call. I also have V2 and it works great. It has not shown a single error in over 100 rds. of .308 and .223. My 168 gn. AMAX load with 44.0 gn RL-15 is doing 2550 out of a 16" LMT MWS. All shots have been using the settings as it came out of the box. I set the distance...

    Gunsmithing Remmy 700 bolt issues

    If after flushing it out and ensuring it is clean then more than likely the sear engagement on the trigger assembly needs to be increased. In other words, the trigger is set too light.

    Changing brass - Do I need to rework the entire load?

    Once they are full length resized and trimmed to the same length case weight is a pretty good indicator. The heavier cases will have less capacity. I would still back down my charges a bit and work back up to be safe. If you weigh the cases from different manufactures you will see quite a variance.

    Received Harris Tactical .308 BCG

    Curious as to whether or not this will run in a LMT MWS ?

    Subsonic .308 reloading process?

    Your process looks to be good. I load 10.4 gr. Trailboss behind a 170 or 180 gr. .30-30 bullet for 1040 - 1050 fps. Rifle has a 20" barrel with 1-12 twist so I cannot run the heavier bullets. I do not drill flash holes and use a standard primer. Never had any issues. I believe you have a typo in...

    Stainles LMT MWS accuracy reports?

    I am running a SSA-E in my MWS. It makes a world of difference. You will not regret purchasing one and installing it !

    How loose is too loose regarding primer pockets ?

    Can't get any movement in any direction. It is just very easy to press in.

    How loose is too loose regarding primer pockets ?

    I use a RCBS hand priming tool. Gives a really good feel of whats going on.

    How loose is too loose regarding primer pockets ?

    I am not getting any leakage around the primer but it is a warm load for this rifle as I am seeing slight ejector marks on the fired cases. I will probably scrap them after shooting this time as I do not want to etch the bolt face from a blown primer. I cant press them in with a finger and they...

    How loose is too loose regarding primer pockets ?

    At what point do you guys discard your brass for loose primer pockets ? I have a bunch of Fed. .308 brass that I have been loading. Some of them that have been reloaded 4 times have loosend up a bit. I hand prime everything and on the looser ones the primers slip in with very little effort...

    Sig-716 shooter and more experienced shooters

    What Newtrick said...If you are loading just 3 at a time in the mag the recoil impulse is different on the last shot due to the bolt not going back into battery and being held open. This is of course if the errant round is always the last shot of the group.

    CCI primers with black colored tray holders??

    Black ones are the rejects and are no good. Send them all to me and I will properly dispose of them according to EPA standards. You must pay shipping of course.
