    Lapua 308 Palma brass

    Re: Lapua 308 Palma brass I am in the process of trying the Palma brass. The main negative that I saw when researching it was that sometimes people had hangfires in cold weather. I live in Texas so I doubt it will be cold enough to be a problem,but to compensate I am using Remington 7 1/2...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce total elevation question

    Re: Nightforce total elevation question I think you are going to find that it varies from rifle to rifle. You will have to mount the scope and sight it in at 100 yards and see how much of the elevation remains.Another persons experience is unlikely to translate directly to your gun.

    Re: Reloader 17 Ladder Test .308 Berger 175gr OTM Twogun, While this is not the way I work up loads,I think the sine wave pattern is interesting.The harmonics of a rifle barrel are complex with some element of whip producing vertical change in the point of impact,and with waves of bore...

    Why are bullets for the 7mm-.08 so "small"?

    Re: Why are bullets for the 7mm-.08 so "small"? Guessing not- there must be a mathematical formula- and a physical limitation of bullet design- that's already got the VLD's at their max in this area- I'm supposin'... There is an optimal maximum weight for each caliber.This runs about 90...

    Which Headspace Measuring Tool

    Re: Which Headspace Measuring Tool I use my Larry Willis gauge a lot and consider it a bargain at $89. I load for enough calibers that it would cost that much to get a gauge for every caliber plus set up takes seconds when changing calibers. Based on how uniform the measurements are...

    reloadinng

    Re: reloadinng Welcome pch454, I agree with Big Rig,if you change the powder charge on a tuned load you will probably have a less accurate load and that will offset any gain from increased velocity. The vast majority will use techniques such as optimal charge weight or ladder testing...

    Rehabilitating my mind

    Re: Rehabilitating my mind Welcome to the forum.I think the 308 is a good starting point. If you learn to shoot the 308 well,you will then be able to shoot the sexier calibers even better when you move on.The 308 will be much cheaper to shoot than 338 or 300, plus I don't know how much...

    Sierra MatchKing 168 grain .308

    Re: Sierra MatchKing 168 grain .308 How do you guys like the 155 grain bullets? Any good at 1K? The new hybrid 155 Bergers have a BC of.483 - almost as high as the 175 smk (.505) and can probably be pushed 200 fps faster.They are worth a try.As YAOG stated,when most 155's are used at...

    Re: first try and i flubbed it up ! I guess it goes without saying that if you have a home made stuck case puller ,you have stuck a few cases. For your home made puller you need 1. a drill with a bit a couple sizes under 1/4 inch.2. A 1/4-20 tap. 3.A 2 1/2 inch quarter twenty carriage...

    turning necks?

    Re: turning necks? With a SAMMI spec chamber it is not necessary and excellent accuracy can be achieved with unturned brass.Factory chambers especially may already have excess clearance so turning just makes a loose fit looser such that any improvement in neck tension uniformity is offset...

    Noob needs help full sizing brass

    Re: Noob needs help full sizing brass I agree with Armorpl8chikin.You could measure the length to the shoulder on all the cases,and if there is not much difference,set your dies to push the shoulder back enough for all the brass to fit the shortest chamber. You run the risk that there is...
