    Auto trickler V3/Fx120 I Temperature

    My A&D FX120i goes ballistic (?) when the temperature starts Deviating up or down so what I do is I get it comfortable in the room and just turn the thermostat off. Also if there is any kind of air blowing anywhere near by it will screw it up.

    Bullet stability - .308

    You’ll be fine running the 185 juggernauts. I shoot them out of a 20” 1:12 and a 28” 1:11.25. Both guns are .308. The good thing about the juggernauts is that they are very jump tolerant. My load for my 28 inch barrel is 43.8 Varget at 2.865” in Lapua brass. My load with my 20” is 44 grains...

    Range Report Shooting in Texas winds

    I recently moved to Texas and decided to join a gun range yesterday. I got zeroed out 100 and immediately went to the thousand yard qualification range and let me tell you it was a hell of a different deal then we have a Mississippi. 25 mph winds shooting a 16x16 inch piece of paper was some of...

    208 grain eld match with reloader 22 load data for 300 win mag

    I used to shoot 72.5 out of a Remington 700 PSS and it shot at 2935 FPS. Very accurate too. My loads were about 3.600” though due to having a very long throat in that rifle.

    208 eld m out of a .308

    I should also mention I’m single feeding as the bearing surface is WAY back on these particular bullets. My oal is 3.025” with the ogive at 2.265? I believe. So there is no overpressure.

    Berger Boolits

    I’ve found that in my experience with GAP, Surgeon that you can load then tO SAMMI spec and get excellent groups. However, in factory rifles like Remington 700, they tend to like being loaded a good bit longer towards the lands. For example my .300 Win mag likes the 210 vld loaded at 3.622”...

    .308 Winchester

    It is around 2.855 to 2.860”. My throat is VERY long in that particular rifle. I guess I was thinking about my 140 ELD M load in my 6.5 creedmor?? Don’t know what I was thinking honestly. Good call on that.

    Just blows me away what difference handloading can make!

    Marine... that’s a thought and the 178 ELDX is something like 1.420” long. While that’s a lot longer than I expected it to be. Now I’ve shot the 185 juggernaut out of the same rifle with GREAT success, it’s only 1.344” long. So that’s a matter of almost 80/1000” difference. When I plugged it in...
