    Hornady HAP bullets

    they don't expand much if any at all. Ones I have recovered from water jugs looked almost new from a .40.

    Question about .308 velocities?

    consulting a reloading book would be your first step. Consider that most use a 24" barrel and you need to subtract 150-200 FPS at least when going from 24" to a 18". In reality you will likely loose more. Consider that M118 is clocking at 2600 from a 24 or 26" barrel....

    .308 bolt difficult to close

    you need to FL size all brass that has not been first fired in your rifle. I would also suggest that you should FL size vs NS for a variety of reasons. You can gaul your lugs attempting to size brass with your bolt and chamber.

    Giraud Trimmer

    I have had mine for 10+ years. Its great. I bought a cutter head for .22, .24, .264 and .308. The cutter is a pain to adjust. I can use .308 holder for .30-06 and the .22 cutter and the .22-250 holder for 6-250.

    Ladder test results

    I must have missed the range. If those 7 shots are at 400 yds and are under 4" then that's a solid shooting rifle. I would just load at the 6 powder charge, go shoot to verify with a 5 or ten round group and call my load development a day if it works. Barrel life is short with that.220 hot rod.

    Suppressors AAC 762SD vs. SDN-6 on precision rifle

    Gents, I am certain to purchase a 7.62 can. I intend to use this on a 300BO Bolt gun and SBR AR-15. I would also like to use it on a .308 with full power ammunition. I might use this 7.62 can on a 5.56 SBR but I have a 5.56 can already. My question is: What kind of actual...

    not sure what a 300NM is....300 Win Mag(300WM) Google first, then refine with specific questions. If its 300 WM, search the database or a powder company web site.

    Ladder test results

    How far away is this target? What kind of bullets are you shooting? What kind of realistic expectations of accuracy do you have for this rifle? For testing any rifle, further to the is generally better as it will spread the groups out a little bit. I find that 200yds is a good compromise...

    Problem chambering 300 win

    Are you getting any marks on the bullets from the ones that don't want to chamber? Depending on the rifle that you are shooting it could have a quite short throat. If its a new factory rifle that you have not shot before its possible that there is no throat; its happened before when the maker...

    Speer 125g hp?

    I shot some in a .308 bolt gun, they will shoot quite well. Look for powders on the faster side. I tried some with 4895 and the cases were sooty with a huge fireball.

    6.5 Help

    I can't comment on hunting bullets but I shoot .264 SMKs in my 6.5-284 that are seated quite deep and they shoot just fine. With H4350 there is room in the case to spare.

    need new load for my DPMS LR-308 and 178 grain bullets

    Almost forgot, make sure you have plenty of elevation on your scope, a +20MOA mount is a good place to start. Good shooting.

    need new load for my DPMS LR-308 and 178 grain bullets

    I wish you all of the best of luck with your gas gun. From experience I can tell you that shooting most any .308 gas gun at 1000 yds and doing well is tough. A great score with M14 or M110's shot at 1000 yds is in the low 190's compared to very high 190's with a 30" .308 palma gun or nearly...

    Analyze these targets with me

    I would be happy with any of them unless you are shooting BR. They are all good groups and the difference in group size is statistically insignificant with the 3 single 5 shot groups. Since they are all so good, and if it was me, I would look at the velocity numbers for each group fired. If...

    Can a SB die still be used to bump the shoulder like a FL?

    All Fl and SB dies can be set up to bump the shoulder back. There are specialized Shoulder bump dies that are designed to size the neck of the case and can be adjusted to move the shoulder back without affecting the case body dimensions. The only reason one would not be able to bump a shoulder...

    90 Vld 223 Remington

    I will be anxious to hear about your results. I have been considering a .223 palma gun. The information I did find suggested that N550, RL15 and MR2000 held some promises of high velocity with the 90's. I know its not the information that you are asking for but it might help. Longrange...

    FPS variations in factory ammo (Fed 300WM)

    Its a chronograph error. It happens. You would know if one round was way-way under powered and I doubt that happened. 2775 is also possibly an error if you got a 1013 fps right after that.

    9mm load advice

    I have had some luck with extreme bullets. Not much luck with the other plated bullets in 9mm. A little too much crimp, like has already been said and things don't go well. In 115g and 124g you can push them a little fast. Some guys claim that G19s don't work well with 147g bullets but I...

    Inconsistent Seating Depth

    Make sure that the tips of the bullets are not bottoming out in the seating stem, even with the new one. If you seat another bullet and the other bullet is consistent, that's the issue. This should not be a problem but you never know. My redding comp seater was seating Berger 80's off the...
