    Rem 700 5R 308 with 20" barrel

    I'm almost positive he does not want to do that.

    help! reloading .308 and have newbie bullet weight questions!

    I am not familiar with the alignment tool or how it works. The idea behind using a precision toolhead, clamping it into place and then floating the sizer and seater dies is this: 1. Clamped toolhead keeps it from "twisting" (for lack of a better term) under different forces at different stages...

    help! reloading .308 and have newbie bullet weight questions!

    Why the SA remark? This is the internet! Seriously though, your comments about the Palma team loading all of their practice ammo on 550's, and match ammo being commercially loaded and distributed for Palma matches would lead me to believe that you don't know a lot about the topic. Forgive me...

    help! reloading .308 and have newbie bullet weight questions!

    They don't issue ammo at the nationals either. The host country used to supply all of the ammo, rifles too, for the international Palma match, but it's been a while since that was the case. Maybe that's what you're thinking? Are you a Palma shooter, or just a guy looking stuff up on the internet?

    I shot a Palma match yesterday and was not issued any ammo, did I miss out on something? Everybody else was shooting their own too. Maybe the factory ammo truck was just late on the delivery?

    Reloading press advise

    You don't even need to take the rounds off the press at all. Just get a powder funnel die with the correct insert for your cartridge and dump the powder in at station 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Reloading press advise

    There is really nothing the Dillon 550 can't do. I use it for pretty much all of the reloading that I do, and my accuracy standards are pretty high. For precision rifle rounds, spending a little money on John Whidden's CNC tool heads with floating die setup and clamp kit goes a looooong way to...

    Semi-scientific High End Spotter Test

    Good article, Optics Planet. I've had both the swaro and the 883 as well as some others that are not in the same league. I've ended up with the Kowa's little brother the 773. It's 99% of the scope the 883 is, just a little smaller, lighter and handier. Easy to carry in my shooting cart, or in a...

    Semi-scientific High End Spotter Test

    Tahoe, How is your camera for reading mirage?

    Not a long range ? but still worth asking....I think.

    Your friends are wrong, 7.62x51 uses the same bullets a .308 does. Definitely a screw up on federal's part though if they are measuring .310-.312. The bullets for the .303 British and the Jap Arisaka measure .3110 so that's probably what they loaded those cases with. Let us know what they tell...

    Advanced Marksmanship 165- or 168-Grain .308: Accuracy Through Long-Range (Duh!) Glass-Penetration

    i don't know the answer to your question, but I'd like to see pics of the bolt-action M14.

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    He does this all the time. Seriously, for years. Better watch yourself or you'll end up on his ignore list like me. Then when you come groveling back to beg for his help with a problem that only an assistant volunteer SAFS coach could answer, it'll be too late.

    Didn't you already know how he did at 100?

    Ok chief - you're the boss. I will defer to your self-proclaimed expertise.

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    Sterling, the shooters at the SAFS clinics where you assistant-coach must be much worse shooters than any of the new shooters I've ever encountered. The OP mentioned in the OP that: "some of my shots hit close to center, some don't hit the target at all. Some shots are 5 inches from each...

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    That's correct. You obviously are not using marksmanship fundamentals when you shoot at 100 yards with the bulk pack ammo, but you are with the Wolf ammo. This is a direct result of you sucking as a shooter. As Sterling Shooter always says; "the hole in the target tells you where the barrel...
