    ideal FPS .308 168 ?

    If I don't push them to 2650+ I get extreme spreads in the 40-60fps range...ES is the only number I'm really concerned with and the only way I have found to lower it is to speed them ALL up. My brass doesn't last past three loadings but I know that a shot really low on a target is my fault and...

    Gunsmithing .223 reloading problems

    What powder are you using? Did you build the rifle yourself? ETA I see that you are referring to loaded ammo and not fired cases. Will the rounds fit in a magazine? Are you using a drop-in case gauge? What do you mean by saying the bullets have been trimmed?

    60 Gr. VMAX Powder Help

    AA 2230 is a ball powder that meters like H110. I set my powder measure to throw 23.8gr and I check every tenth round and from the 1st round to the thousandth round each charge weighs 23.8 without having to measure each charge

    Is it worth it to "uniform" the meplat on 175 SMKs?

    I did it not for the BC enhancement but for loading to mag length so I could get the fat 175gr SMK into the rifling with the least amount of jump through my M1A's.

    500 lumens is more than enough for me and I like that it runs on AA batteries haven't bought one yet but am considering: Coleman - Coleman- Ultra High Power LED Aluminum Flashlight - Ultra High Power LED Aluminum Flashlight

    Pressure Issues Early in Work-up

    Something else to consider: The chamber was probably cut at GAP for the 190gr FGGM SMK or the MK248 MoD O with the 190gr SMK so the leade is much shorter to decrease the jump for the 190's and now you are using 220gr with the ogive much thicker/fatter towards the meplat and jamming into the rifling

    New, what am I doing wrong already

    Plus 1000!!! die is turned in too much and applying too much crimp...you probably mixed the instructions for setting up the sizer die with the seater die instructions. There should be a considerable gap between the top of the shell holder and the bottom of the seater die. Where as with the...

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    wwrhodes91, With the Lee classic loader all you really need is a wooden mallet or chunk of 2X4 and you can load your components into ammo from brass fired through the same rifle. There is even a little yellow scoop that as long as you follow the included load chart you don't even need to weigh...

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    Here is what I started on and am still able to produce extremely accurate loads: Lee Classic Loader 308 Winchester A caliper and a decent scale is all that is needed to produce extremely accurate ammunition but it only neck sizes so its really only safe for the rifle that the cases were...
