    Military snipers and the 300 Win Magnum (Bullet weight?)

    I did get the word convention right!:) When you get as old as I am, that is doing pretty good!

    Gunsmithing Trigger Job?

    The last time I had several adjusted, I found a guy on e-bay who advertised....trigger jobs. I took a chance sending them to him, but they came back just about perfect....

    Gunsmithing Trigger Job?

    I've got several Remington 700's. A while back I took the trigger assemblies off and mailed them to a guy and had them adjusted. They came back with a wonderful pull. I can't recall the guy's address..... I thought I had my 300 W. M. done too but it is definitely a lot more pull than my...

    Pressure Signs?

    I was having trouble with not enough neck tension after resizing. I started using a Lee crimp die to help hold the bullet in, better. I have a long throat on my Remington rifles. Most of my handloads are almost touching the rifling. I'm going to sand down the expander ball slightly, on my...

    Pressure Signs?

    Thanks Milo 2.0. I think my bullets are a tad too long, and I've been using a crimp that may be excessive. I'll do some experimenting. I usually hunt in cold weather.

    Pressure Signs?

    My brass don't have a raised ejector nub, but they do have a slight shiny mark. Maybe I better back off on the powder charge until that disappears.....I just really hate to go back to a load that isn't as accurate. A half a grain lighter and my 270 groups about an inch at a 100 yards. With...

    Pressure Signs?

    I guess I didn't explain this very well. I'd send a picture but I'm kind of computer stupid and haven't figured that out yet. The shiny spot is on the case end surrounding the primer. It was made by the extractor and bolt face. I know the ring you are talking about. I really do need to...

    Pressure Signs?

    I watched a you-tube video yesterday on pressure signs. The main thing shown was to watch for any form of shininess on the case head. At the first sign of this, one is supposed to back off a half a grain. The problem is that both my 300 Win. Mag. and 270 both shoot the most accurately near...

    Berger Bullet Seating Dies

    I'd like to try Berger Bullets. I've heard that they are so pointed that a normal seating die doesn't work very well. I'm just wondering if regular RCBS or Lee dies will work okay. I've heard that Redding sells a plunger that will screw into most seating dies. Anyone have any experience with...

    Storing primers and powder?

    I was wondering neiltus.....is wood less likely to have a bomb type affect, if there was an accident....is that the reason for wood? Thanks....

    Storing primers and powder?

    I'm like everyone else who buys reloading supplies.....sometimes I stock up, when I can find it. I'm just wondering what the best practice is to store this stuff.....I've been storing my primers and powders in air tight ammo boxes. Do you think something else is needed in each box to absorb...

    How well do all-copper bullets do at long ranges?

    I was wondering how these bullets would do beyond 500 yards....

    Measuring 100 yards accurately?

    I bought a 100 ft. fiber-glass tape. I wonder if it will stretch much? Hey Rigger.....I was wondering what kind of rigger you are. I have my senior rigger's license for chest mount reserves. I'm an old skydiver and ex-army jumper (jumpmaster).

    Military snipers and the 300 Win Magnum (Bullet weight?)

    Thanks Jim....I knew that hollow pts. were usually more accurate, but assumed the military couldn't use them. I guess I'm wrong on that. That's a good point too about heavier bullets bucking the wind better.

    Military snipers and the 300 Win Magnum (Bullet weight?)

    The military must use a different bullet in combat though. I think the Geneva Convention frowns on hollow points. I've been asking a lot of stupid questions lately concerning ballistic coefficientcy in bullets. I'm going to have to try some heavier bullets. All these years I thought 150 or...

    Military snipers and the 300 Win Magnum (Bullet weight?)

    And to think that all these years, I figured a 180 grain bullet would shoot far flatter at long range! This is like finding out that there is no Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I need to get some heavier bullets.....

    Military snipers and the 300 Win Magnum (Bullet weight?)

    I'm just wondering what weight bullet, that the military uses in the 300 Winchester Magnum. Do they have a boat tail? All this talk about Ballistic Coefficient bullets as created a mountain of questions in my head.....

    Ballistic Coefficient?

    So, it sounds like I need to shoot the longest heaviest bullets that my rifle will stabilize accurately for the flattest trajectory at beyond 500 yards. Does that mean I need to shoot 220 grain bullets out of my 300 Winchester? I'm not sure if my shoulder will take that. I always figured...

    Ballistic Coefficient?

    Thanks Shoot4fun, I'm learning a ton from you guys....I've heard a lot of good things about Berger Bullets.

    Ballistic Coefficient?

    [ I shoot a 270 WSM for hunting and I'm using the 140 grain accu-bond at about 3150 fps. ............................................................................................................................................ Djskit, I've been shooting 140 grain accu-bonds too. I...
