    Purchasing my first die set (Redding)... opinions appreciated

    I load lapua brass right out of the box with a light inside and outside deburr of the case mouth and deburr the flash hole. I de-prime using a Lee die and lee hand press. After first firing I use Redding full length bushing die with expander removed to set neck tension at .002 on lapua brass...

    Have a .308, want to push to 1400 yards - go to 6.5cm?

    I would try a box of fgmm and berger ammo with 185 jugs. The fgmm shot great in my rifle. If you plan on reloading later the berger uses lapua brass.

    Have a .308, want to push to 1400 yards - go to 6.5cm?

    I shoot a 308 with 24'' 1-10 twist barrel using loads with 185 jugs or 185 scenars at about 2675 fps out to 1125 and 1400 regularly. The scenars have a considerably lower BC but are super accurate and consistent. I can get 1st and 2nd round hits pretty reliably at 1125. The 1400 plate is...

    1st Tripod Setup

    I'm pretty happy with the pig 0311 and pig saddle. I've been using it for several months shooting steel. If you wrap your sling around the tripod and hook it to your belt it's very steady. I think theres a video on the pig swaddle site. Its heavier than the cf tripods but a lot cheaper too.

    PacNor Burns To The Ground

    I sure hate to hear that. My first "custom" hunting rifle was a push feed m70 that Pac-nor rebarreled to 6.5x55 after I read about them in a magazine article by Ross Seyfried. It was a good shooter.

    Range Report Bullet testing for hunting

    I've always had good luck on game with nosler partitions, accubonds, and barnes triple shocks. And I've never had a rifle that wouldn't shoot at least one of them accurately.

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    We have steel from 150 to 1390 yards. From 300 - 800 most are 12" plates or 66% ipsc and a 100% ipsc at 1125. So some targets are 3 moa or larger at the closer distances. I generally shoot off the tripod from 540 and in and prone past that. I always try to keep my shots in a 1 moa area in the...

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    I think it's good practice. I have a metal pig about 8"x16" at 530 from my front porch I shoot from a tripod several days a week. Usually only 2 shots. We also have steel plates at 590, 640, 700, 750, 800, 1125 and 1390. I only allow myself 2 shots on each and fire cold bore at a different...
