    300 wby vs a 308win

    I am the "buddy" expert is referring to. It is not a 178 amax at those loads that produced those velocities. The load he is referring to is a 175 SMK with 47.5 CFE 223 that produces velocities of 2950. This is a very hot load. I came across these velocities wile doing a load test for that...

    100 yd vs 300

    Hello all. I have been experiencing some difficulty recently wile trying to stretch my yardage out. I can get 1/2 or so MOA groups at 100 with multiple handloads, however when I move over to 300 I cant seem to hold a group. Any opinions on if this is something I may be doing wrong or...

    Suppressors Ruger scout and surefire suppressor?

    I have a Surefire 762SS that I use on my other rifles and really like it. I am thinking of buying a ruger scout and changing the brake so I can mount my can if i want. The problem is that the 762SS uses an overlap brake design and I cant seem to figure out if any other brakes would work with...

    sierra 220gr rn subsonic 308 load

    I guess I was misunderstood. Like I said, drop is a constant. I was wrong in thinking that the 180 would drop less than the 208 because of its weight. I suppose there isnt much time for gravity to effect the bullet. I guess I learned something... Still I didnt have any luck with 168/175/178...

    sierra 220gr rn subsonic 308 load

    I didnt have any luck with boat tails. The advantage with the lighter bullet is less drop. You are limited by velocity, and gravity is a constant. The lighter the bullet the less it will be effected by gravity. I know the thought that typically with supersonic velocities you want the heaviest...

    sierra 220gr rn subsonic 308 load

    Those 180's over trailboss will likely give u good accuracy and repeatability. I have only had the chance to get mine out to 300, but it is reliable on a 12" plate (never been on paper yet). In theory a 220 would stablilize, but drop like a rock. For example my 308 from zero at 100 is exactly...

    Seating depth

    Thats what I was thinking BH. I suppose it could change results slightly, but a noticeable difference I could shoot, I dont think so.

    Seating depth

    I have read about how many work on changing seating depth after deciding on the best powder load and have a couple questions. 1: How far do you change the OAL between test loads? For example if I have a load that is 2.80 OAL would I work up 3 identical loads at 2.75, 2.80, 2.85? Less change...

    Impact shift documentation?

    Hey all, I have not seen a posting on this ever and am wondering how everyone else does this, or if they do. Like many others I have different loads for the same rifle. There are many reasons for this such as, distance desired or availability of components. The question is, how do you...
