    Primer Seating Depth?

    For years I have been using the Lee handheld primer seating tool and tray with good success. Recently, I purchased the Sinclair priming tool just for my match brass. What seating depth do you use when seating primers? I am loading Federal 210M primers into a Lapua .308 Win case. The Sinclair...

    Wilson Seating Die Problem/Question?

    I plan to do a load development work up on a new rifle build and have ordered the Wilson Seating Die so that I can make seating adjustments at the range. Some folks have stated that they have had trouble seating Berger VLD bullets deep enough with this seater. I know that Wilson has made a VLD...

    Trying to understand seating depth and accuracy

    Re: Trying to understand seating depth and accuracy Tripwire- Excellent post up! Thanks. I use Quickload and OCW for working up loads. I have two custom 10 twist .308's I use for F Class at 600 and 1000 yards. I shoot Berger 185 LRBT's with good success. I can load for a slower node at 600...

    .308 175GR ; Berger Tac vs SMK

    Re: .308 175GR ; Berger Tac vs SMK I said goodbye to Sierra's a long time ago. The Bergers are superior in every way. I shoot the Berger 185 LRBT because both of my rifles are 10 twist barrels. .010 to .020 off the lands works well. If I had a 12 twist, I would shoot the Berger 175 BT's over...

    Rifle Scopes 10X or 16X for 200 yds

    Re: 10X or 16X for 200 yds More magnification enhances shot placement. But...... You are talking a variable scope, right? You need lower magnification for closer in tactical targets and movers. When I zero my rifle, I use 42x. It gets me established where I want to be.

    Range Report 100y vs: 200y zero....

    Re: 100y vs: 200y zero.... I zero at 100 only when I change optics, rings, etc. After that, I go to 600 yards and rezero and leave it there. I only shoot 600 and up.

    Ever noticed length deviation in berger bullets???

    Re: Ever noticed length deviation in berger bullets??? Jumping tangent ogive bullets will not notice a couple of thousandths unless the difference has some seated just barely off the lands and some touching. Load .010 to .020 off and don't worry about it.

    .308 Primers

    Re: .308 Primers The 210M's are a good choice. I use Varget and have been getting lower ES/SD with the Federals than the CCI BR-2's. Not by much, but better.

    Case Trim Question

    Re: Case Trim Question Different case lengths equal different pressures, release times and diminished accuracy. Unless you are shooting in the 2's and 3's, or shooting extreme long range, a couple of thousandths won't make a difference. Just stay in spec.
