    X-dies, do I have to lube inside the neck?

    Hey, I'm reloading blaster ammo for my M1919a4 and to speed things up I'de like to get an X-die to minimize trimming. I like Imperial sizing wax and its not too much of a PITA as long as the inside of the neck does not need to be lubed. I understand the X-dies function differently, so is there...

    really low recoil .308?

    Hello. I have a stock remmy 700 SPS with the 26" heavy varmint barrel in .308. I reload 168s over 43grains of IMR 4895. My girlfriend cant handle that, suprisingly (it is a heavy rifle, kicks soft for what it is i believe). I'de like to reload some really soft shooting rounds. Maybe with...

    Gunsmithing Waste of time lapping a factory 700s bolt?

    As the title suggests. I have a stock .308 700 SPS, only real upgrade is a HS precision stock. I shoot around .5moa regularly at 100 yards w/reloads but im always pushing the limit for a factory rig.... I'm thinking about lapping my lugs. Is this a waste of time on a factory rifle or will I...

    Lee collet die, neck tension, jacket shaving, ahh!

    This load works well for me but I get some flyers which really, really could be me. But i want to eliminate possibilies. Im neck sizing with a lee collet die, in my lee challenger press. I chamfer every loading if it needs a touchin' up, inside and out. I also brush the inside of my necks...

    .38 HBWC : too tight?

    Well, not the best forum to post it but Ide like to heard what you folk have to say. I've ventured onto loading .38 HBWC rounds. Since ive heard how easy it is, and how bad it is, to shrink down the round by not expanding or crimpping properly I went ahead and pulled a loaded round to measure...

    My rifle doesnt like fast loads?

    My rifle really, really likes 41 grains 4895[IMR] under a 168gr AMAX (this is .308 BTW). The rifle is my stock 700 with HS precision stock. Ive shoot under .5moa consitantly, with one instance shooting .18" CTC 5 round group. (100 yards) I can pretty much seat the bullet anywhere, but shines...

    Am I being too optomistic looking for .25MOA?

    Just starting reloading for my STOCK remington 700 varmint in .308. Its only mod is an H-S precision stock. I have a 18x buschnell scope with burris rings and an EGW 20moa picatinny rail. Anyways, I mostly shoot at 100 yards. I so far with a 5 round group acheived .18MOA but only ONCE... so...

    Is this too slow for 600 yards?

    Hey, Just starting to work up loads for my 700 in .308. So far it seems that 39.5gr IMR4895 shot the best with CCI large rifles. (but im going to retest my groups to confirm). By the way, this is with a Hornady A-MAX 168 If it does wind up being a sweet spot, Is it too slow to shoot well at...

    how much effort to neck size?

    Just got my lee breech block single stage kit. Adjusted as per instructions, and went to neck size. Seems to take very little effort to "resize". The only evidence im getting is 3 verticle lines in the lube on the neck. Is something wrong or is this alright? Its once fired hornady TAP .308...

    Range Report First time at 600yards, howd I do?

    First time shooting past 100 yards, I went straight to 600 yesterday at a friends range. I have a remington700 with an HS precision stock, bushnell 6-18x40 scope. I was shooting hornady TAP 168s. I fired 3 groups, all 5 rounds, and all of them got smaller progressivly. The wind was random...

    working up an OAL after finding sweet spot?

    I'm having a little difficulty articulating my question so bear with me. Say your begging to work loads up for .308. Factory OAL spec is 2.80" (right?). So you begin playing with the charge weights between min and max, and load them all to the spec OAL. Right, so I get that part. So you in...

    finding right OAL without comperator?

    I know that its not 100% possible, but I dont have a comperator nor can I afford one (I'm in college and basically spent everything I have on my rifle, and reloading gear). I have a remington 700 SPS varmint in .308 with an HS precision stock. Would it be safe and better than nothing to get an...

    What do you find to be the most consistant primer?

    As the title asks: What do you find to be the most consistant primer? Primer in question is Large Rifle. Im just beggining to reload .308, and beggning the epic search of stores around here for primers. I'de like to gather a list of my "Top" choices. From what I can see, match primers are a...

    Rifle Scopes Silly question: Best target for 600 yards, 18x?

    Hey guys, new to the boards. I hope this is a somewhat correct section for this post. Here it goes... I have a remington 700 SPS varmint in .308, with an HS precision stock on it and a buschnell 6-18x40 scope mounted on a 20MOA picatinny rail. I usually shoot at a 1" red diamond at 100 yards...
