    Reloader 17 Ladder Test .308 Berger 175gr OTM

    Re: Reloader 17 Ladder Test .308 Berger 175gr OTM another point that needs made here is that you effectively did an OCW test without the extra rounds. you have consistent hits along the bottom node centered on 46.7gr, with a very forgiving charge difference of 1 FULL grain charge weight...

    What you would expect? Load test, step #2

    Re: What you would expect? Load test, step #2 I'd shoot groups 5,6,7 again, and play with seating depth at group 6. They have a very similar relative POI, and seating depth adjustment should shrink the groups. What's your OAL now? Looking at them again, i also think groups 2,3 have...

    Re: Brass shower My son was at the range with me a couple weeks ago and was hell bent on recovering all my 5x fired 308 brass...it was getting junked after this set anyway but he just HAD to recover each one as it was ejected. Every one he blew on his fingers and transported it back to an...

    Lee factory crimping die experiences

    Re: Lee factory crimping die experiences I have one, have never overcrimped a round, and typically just put a light crimp on each round as I'm loading primarily for hunting only and i wanted the added insurance of having a bit more grip on the bullets. The nicks and dings on my lead tips...

    Which 308 load to start with?

    Re: Which 308 load to start with? note...the following response is from a relative noob (been reloading for just under 2 yrs now, with barely 500 personally loaded rounds sent down range). I just started over with my load development. I'm committed to varget powder now after having tried...

    Re: OCW spreadsheet...I was REALLY bored tonight... working on the spacing for the target sheets to get them lined up right...i have my first try looking okay, but the actual measurements are off. if i get rid of the grid it looks better...and we all have calipers, right?

    OCW spreadsheet...I was REALLY bored tonight...

    Re: OCW spreadsheet...I was REALLY bored tonight... i made a couple more changes last nite that I didn't upload. It now prints with a target for each load, labelled with the powder charge or each slot on a 1/2" by 1/2" grid, and a smaller "lid label" that can be taped inside the ammo box...

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42863631/OCW%20Worksheet.xls serves purpose to mark the slots in a standard 50 round MTM R-50 case (5x10 slots) Nothing special, just does the math for you and has enough adjustability built in to keep most folks happy. if you really want to hack up the formulas, sheet...

    Hunting & Fishing Celox (Trauma Blood Clotting Agent)

    Re: Celox (Trauma Blood Clotting Agent) alternative materials to know how to use/keep around could be discussed here... afrin nasal spray works quick to squelch a bleed...it dialates capillaries and can be used on some pretty nasty flesh bleeds - don't bother on a vein cut, but if you have a...

    Hunting & Fishing This guy can shoot!!!

    Re: This guy can shoot!!! fear and respect the man that only shoots one rifle. This guy exemplifies this notion that i've always held true. Prior to adding the 308 to my lineup, i had only shot a 22mag, and 50-80 yard squirrels are the norm in my patch. usually shooting without...

    Marlin Xs7 in .223 w/ 1:9 twist, 5+1 capacity...

    now available in the 2012 catalog... given how my 308 shoots, and how alot of other folks are praising the accuracy of these rifles, the .223 is a welcome addition to the lineup. I personaly have no need for a larger rifle right now (although a 300WM would be NICCCE), the 223 is a game changer...

    Hunting & Fishing Advice on a Marlin x7 .308

    Re: Advice on a Marlin x7 .308 just b/c it's a cheap rifle doesn't mean you should skimp on optics. My marlin is still getting figured out but it's got a couple sub 1/2" loads that it really likes. I have ground off the pads at the front of the stock and completely floated the barrel...
