    Neck tension .001 to .003 questions

    I recently bought some Redding dies to start reloading for a new rifle. I decided on buying a bushing according to the Redding website which suggested .001 smaller from a loaded round. I have not starting yet but recently read that .001 neck tension might not be enough if the bolt is run hard...

    .308 Winchester

    I don't but I am just getting set up to do load development for my new 16.5 SPS Tactical. I plan to ladder test to find what works best for my barrel and the 175 SMKs I have but also want to try the Berger 185 juggernaut and maybe the 160 Flatline as well but they are $$$. You might find this...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup 2018 Sniper's Hide Team Challenge Colville WA

    Maybe someone can clue me in. I thought I heard on the podcast the course of fire is practical tactical...? Being brand new to bolt guns and just scratching the surface on longer range shooting can someone clue me in on this? The reason I ask is that I have been watching a NRL 2017 match video...

    Brass Annealing Guide

    At what point in your reloading journey did you decided to starting annealing and how much more life can you get out of your brass? I am just starting out with reloading rifle ammo for my new .308 and have saved my Federal brass I have shot so far (100 cases). BTW just from the outside...

    EP # 35

    Playing catch up - listened to Ep #35 this weekend and really enjoyed the class feedback. I was shocked to hear one of the guys (Chris D?) was from my neck of the woods...

    Pain in the neck!

    Thanks - good advice. I am still adjusting to my new rear bag the str8 lace from TAB - it works well on the bench but for some reason prone it just does not seem adjustable i.e. squishy enough. Maybe more break in... not sure yet. I do have one of the small Red Tac bags that I really like the...

    Range Report New MagnetoSpeed v3 SD question

    Thanks for the link I will check that out. I wanted to mention that the four strips I listed were actually sequential. The reason for the separate strings was that I saved the data after each 5 round mag. Additionally the barrel was clean and the first shot of the string #1 was the cold bore...

    Hi all, Just getting started with bolt guns and decided to pick up a v3 and test the factory rounds I zeroed the rifle with. I plan on reloading for this rifle and wanted to have a target starting point for load development. My question is it typical to see the SD drop as the barrel warms up...

    The Everyday Sniper Episode 27

    I think it was this EP that the weatherflow was mentioned as working with the Hornady 4ODF is that correct? I was thinking of buying a weatherflow until I can afford to upgrade.
