    308 Reloading issues

    Re: 308 Reloading issues It was not that I could not get consistent outside dimensions on the neck, but that I could not get neck tension to hold the bullet in the case. I am using the die in a LNL AP press. I messed around with it in my single stage press, and took the die apart and looked...

    308 Subsonic load ?'s

    I am getting my suppressor soon and am looking to work on some sub loads for my 308’s. I am wondering what bullet is commonly used for subsonic loads? I think that I have read before about 208 AMAX for subs, but I am unsure. I guess I am just looking for some starting info please. Thank you.

    can't close/ tight bolt.

    Re: can't close/ tight bolt. Get a headspace gauge and bump the shoulder 0.002 and trim to proper length. Read the stickies in this forum about reloading. Lots of great info in there that WILL help you. Be safe.

    Re: Starter lathe or mill on Amazon? I am just playing with the idea so I do not really have a budget set, I guess thats what I am trying to figure out. I was thinking of looking into the used market, but I have no idea what specifications are desirable or needed for BBL work. This is going...

    Range Time and Collecting Brass

    Re: Range Time and Collecting Brass I use a hat that snaps in the rear and snap it around my scope and let it dangle by the ejection port. The brass ejects into the hat and rolls out under the rifle. Works good enough for me.
