    Winchester or Lapua 308 cases??

    Re: Winchester or Lapua 308 cases?? The top picture are rounds fired using Lapua brass and the bottom picture is Winchester. I dont think the Lapua is any more accurate, or atleast it is not for me. However, the Lapua brass requires less prep work and the walls are thicker as well. I have...

    Gunsmithing new barrel for Howa

    Re: new barrel for Howa i have only shot 168 to 175, but i havent shot farther than 200 yards, yet. As far as a caliber change, i have thought about it but i keep going back to the fact that i have dies, and more dies, and brass and so on for the .308. I still may try the .260.

    does this look ok?

    Re: does this look ok? TCA4570, you are correct. They are a tad thinner because i turned the necks on that batch of lapua brass for shits and giggles. And also because the bushing i needed was on back order. So i turned the necks to fit the bushing.
