    giraud trimmer

    Re: giraud trimmer I finally got in the queue and ordered one last week. The RCBS v2 powered trimmer is making me nuts. Doing it by hand is not acceptable given the number of different cartridges I need to trim. Jeffvn

    8 twist .338?

    Re: 8 twist .338? Augustus has several tight twist 375s, including one that is an 8.0 and one that is a 6.5 exit twist. He does not have a tight twist 338. Frank and I both have an exit twist barrel at 5.4" for .338. I think one more at that twist may exist in North America, Washington I...

    Opinions on the correct caliber.

    Re: Opinions on the correct caliber. No way with the straight 338LM. I am running 2,950 fps (w/ 300 gr SMKs) in my 338LM Improved (121 gr. H2O capacity). In Nevada, where I live, there is no need to step up to the case volume (165 gr H2O) of a Snipe Tac or 338/408. I'm running upwards of...

    Re: SAC: Just another black rifle? MArk Nice looking rig - how many of the chassis have you personally tested? Where does this one stand as far as comfort to shoot and stability? . Sorry to drive the thread sideways... but is that a 30BA on the front? How effective is it as a break without...

    Time of Flight 4.05 seconds.....

    Re: Time of Flight 4.05 seconds..... +1 what Cali_tz said. 50% hits at distances over 2,000 yards is great shooting. From that distance a gnat fart can push you off target. JeffVN

    Over Pressure or too long of a case?

    Re: Over Pressure or too long of a case? If the primers are ok, no ejector mark on the brass, no sticky bolt lift, then you very likely not seeing pressure issues. I agree its brass length. I had a bolt action rifle that the brass stuck and could not be extracted from the chamber. The...
