    208 A-Max beating a dead horse

    Re: 208 A-Max beating a dead horse Range Update: I went and did a ladder test this morning with the 208 A-Max. My FN SPR 300WSM gobbled them up. It was probably the hardest ladder test I have ever done. Most of the time its easy to spot a node, but this stick seemed to not care what it was...

    Need help with a brass issue

    Re: Need help with a brass issue Who cares if it still shoots, the results that matters should be down range. I have had similar slight spotting before as well. As long as its just cosmetic I really dont worry about it. If you know someone with a stainless steel media you may give that a try...

    Hornady 208 Grain BTHP

    Re: Hornady 208 Grain BTHP Look through the threads, There are a few on Beyond 1000, there are several in this section as well. There are a lot of people here using the 208 that swear by them. I am taking a batch out tomorrow to try as well since they have had such a following.

    Hornady lock and load auto dispenser/scale

    Re: Hornady lock and load auto dispenser/scale Santa brought me a Hornady electronic scale this year for Christmas. Although I have always been a fan of the beam scale. I gave it a try. It seemed horribly slow even on the fastest rate. Checking it with my beam scale it wasnt as accurate as I...

    Trouble with electronic scales

    Re: Trouble with electronic scales Fluorescent lights can also have an effect on electronic scales as well. I have never trusted them either. They tend to be slow also. I know some people let it weigh out while they are seating but I still use my old beam scale and just weigh out all of them...

    Hornady Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Guage

    Re: Hornady Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Guage +1 on using multiple bullets I dont take the average though, I keep going until I get about 8-10 readings exactly the same to the thousandth. Normally when I first start it takes me a few to get to applying the same pressure every time. Here I may see a 3...

    208 A-Max beating a dead horse

    Not to beat a dead horse here, I know there is a lot of info here on the 208 A-Max. What I have not found is the min/max loads for a 300WSM. I called Hornady today but they did not have any info on the wsm either. I am working up a ladder with H4350 and guessing about 58-62 or somewhere in there...

    Gunsmithing Can a Steyr SBS Tactical barrel be threaded?

    Re: Can a Steyr SBS Tactical barrel be threaded? If you are talking about threading the muzzle for the can, I would ask what is the muzzle diameter? I ask this because I have an SBS that I use as one of my hunting rifles and the barrel is not heavy enough for a can or a brake

    Muzzle Velocity without a Chrono

    Redding Competition Seater Die in 308 for 208 AMAX

    Re: Redding Competition Seater Die in 308 for 208 AMAX Why do you say they are made strictly for Berger VLD's? I use the Redding Competition seater die for both VLD's and A-Max's and havent had an issue. Not saying they arent meant for it because thats the first I have heard but I havent had...

    stable enough? (pics added)

    Re: stable enough? I know I have heard George at GA say many times that people tend to over twist a 30 cal. I have a 10 twist on my 300wsm and shooting 190 Bergers with 66grains of H4350 I started seeing keyholing. I ran another ladder test and found I must have missed a grouping the first...

I have a Redding 2400 and I set the micrometer and set to where I want it on one piece of brass and the next doesnt take off enough or to much on the following.
