    Range Report 6 Creed OCW

    Just looking for opinion on which way to go on this one. The best groups were with the 41.3 and 42.2, but 42.2 was starting to show a little pressure. My target velocity is 3150. I'm wondering if I play with the seating depth at 41.6, may be i can tighten that up a bit. Gun is a...

    Best freebore for the 110BA in .338

    I shoot the 300s as well and load them to 3.69. I have loaded all the way to mag length (3.740 I think), and never saw any better accuracy than below 3.70. This is with Scenars and Berger Hybrids. I have been told many times that Savage had the 300s in mind when it went with a 9 twist barrel...

    6mm Creedmoor brass back in stock

    I just started loading the first batch that I got. Should I run these through the sizing die, or just prime, charge, seat and go? Thanks, -J

    How many of you guys are using 178 AMAX's for competition out to 1k+?

    I've shot several matches out to 1000 with them and they performed admirably. I used 45 grains of Varget in Winchester cases, and got 2650 out of a 20" Krieger 10 twist. The last match I shot with that guns was the Bushnell Brawl at Rifles Only. I cleaned the the 900 yard tower stage with 5...

    60 Gr. VMAX Powder Help

    I am planning to load 2000 60 Gr. VMAX here pretty soon and would like some opinions on powder. I will be loading on a single stage press and will be throwing the powder charges with my Redding Competition powder measure. Can anyone recommend a good powder for the VMAX. I have good bit...

    300 Blackout SBR, AAC vs Daniel Defense

    I have had both the 8 twist and 7 twist AAC 9" uppers. AAC replaced the 8 twist when I could not get decent accuracy. The 7 twist was markedly better, but 2 MOA was the best I could get it to do. I bought a 10.3 DD upper off Gunbroker last month and preliminary testing has shown it to be 100%...

    Suppressors Any AAC-SDN-6 quality issues you guys experienced?

    I finally borrowed a drill press and started turning down various 51 tooth flash hiders and brakes that I have. Some have worked perfectly the first time... others I have to take a lot of material off. It sure feels good when it takes a little torque to engage the last tooth and there is...

    Need help interpreting OCW test results

    Dan, I'm glad to see you on the Hide! I have read your articles and been using the OCW method for the last couple of years with great results. Your method makes the most sense for load development and just plain works. Thanks, -J

    Range Report MagnetoSpeed Chronograph

    I've shot several hundred .223, .308 & .338LM over the Magnetospeed over the last few months. It took some work to get the strap to act correctly, but it functions very well now. I do not think the unit affects POI or accuracy. I have done several tests, especially with the .338, and I could...

    R17 .308 data

    I used Quickload to give a starting point, then did an OCW test around that charge. I don't think I have tried anything less than 47 grains in Winchester brass. I have chronoed many of these, and it's not worth it to use RL17 at less than 47 grains. Might as well stick to Varget or RL15 if...

    AR 10 load data

    Are you single feeding this? What mag do you have that will hold 2.840? Sorry, I just realized this post is two years old.

    R17 .308 data

    I have run 49.2 grains in Winchester brass under the 178 AMAX @ 2.810 with great results. 2670 out of a 20" Krieger. Right now I am close on a load for a 16" semi-auto. It's looking like 48 grains under a 178 BTHP @ 2.800. Should be around 2480 FPS. -J

    I am creating a.308 BDC reticule and can use your guys help.

    2450 for a 16" gas gun. 2600 for 20 " Bolt should work, although I have seen up to 2650 on occasion. -J

    1420 yds, My limitations with 6.5 Creedmoor

    It looks like you have 3 distinct groups going on there. One at 1 o'clock, one at 7 o'clock and one at 3 o'clock. is that the case? Were you adjusting wind and elevation during your 40 shot string? Just curious. -J

    Rifle Scopes Whats the input on a Steiner 5-25 and what reticle choice?

    I got 2 sets of 34 MM Seekins rings from EuroOptic immediately. One set for the Steiner 5-25 MSR, one for the Bushnell 3-21 ERS. Ordered on Monday... had them mounted by that Friday. This was two seeks ago.
