    1-12 twist .308 20" 168/175 TMK Varget loads

    I have a 20" SPS with 1/12 twist. Anyone have a Varget load with this combination ? I use SMK now but I'm having trouble getting a load to shoot decent with the TMK bullets. Anyone ?

    Anyone try 155 in 20" 1/12 barrel ?

    Ive asked a few questions about these rounds but really haven't heard from anyone that tried it in a 20" barrel. My 168 smk work pretty good at 600 but of course are useless at 1k. If anyone has tried these I'd love to hear your results. thanks

    Causes of spread in fps ?

    Been reloading for a while now ... finally bought a chrono and I seem to get one or two with a 80fps (fast) or so difference in speed between fastest and slowest. When doing load work up I def load all cartridges to same weight... using Lapua brass, cci primers and varget powder. Ive always...

    155 lapua scenar or 168 smk ?

    Looking at trying a new bullet and was wondering about the 155 lapua. I currently use the 168 smk for my 600 yard f class shoots. I normally don't shoot the 1000 yard shoots. I have a 1/12 twist 20 " barrel rem 700 sps tactical. Wondering if anyone had tried that bullet using the same setup I...

    Neck tension Federal vs Factory Lapua

    In the process of switching to Lapua .308 Brass from Federal. When I was working up load noticed neck tension was tighter (only by feel of seating bullet) on the Lapua out of the box. My federal run through RCBS FL dies basically just barely bumping shoulder back .001 is about .002. Normal load...

    switching from federal to lapua .308

    I posted this in F class forum but its probably better suited here. I recently bought some lapua brass and was first a little concerned when I loaded some and found that most of the brass seemed to have higher neck tension than my resized federal brass. There were a two out of 15 that seemed to...

    Rifle Scopes bushnell 6x24x50 g2 reticle maximum vertical mil adj ?

    An online video where they reviewed this scope not sure if it had the g2 reticle though claims 19.1 mil total vertical adjustment. I recently purchased this scope and love it but question the amount of total mil adjustment from top to bottom. The video 8451 tactical revue says the scope has 19.1...

    168 smk vs 175 smk

    I have reloaded 168 SMK with 43,5 Varget. Same formula I used for the 175 smk that I can no longer find in stock. My question is at 600 yards what can I expect as far as elevation difference ? Everything else is exactly the same. Federal case, cci primer and 2.800 OAL. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes burris 8x32x44 vs weaver 6x24x42

    I already know the burris is a better scope. What I am looking here is an answer to which scope will theoretically be able to shoot farther with adjustment . Cant seem to find MOA adjustment for either of these two scopes, I know they are both 1/8 clicks which are not ideal for long range...
