    Frankford wet tumbler

    Anyone use one of these? How well does it work and does the motor seem adequate? I am also looking at the Thumlers but I'd think the plastic would hold up better. Any input? Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Rotary Case Tumbler Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Questions about sizing with collet die

    I've searched and didn't find it so here it goes. How many times is it "safe" to neck size with the collet before bumping the shoulder back? Is it a matter of when accuracy goes or clambering problems? Sizing Lapua 308 brass (no neck turning) with a Lee Collet die. I've loaded two times with...

    New Hornady Case Thickness Gage

    I am thinking about ordering one of these Hornady Case Neck Thickness Gage to go with my concentricity gage. I know that they just came out with these, but has anyone used one yet? I figure at that price if it doesn't work well, I won't lose too much $$ before ordering something else and since I...

    OCW which one?

    I have three loads that shot great. I guess 42.8 and 43.6 had about the same POI Shooting 178 AMAX with Varget seated at 2.80" Which one? Sorry for the sideways pic... And I wrote the wrong gr bullet on the sheet. It is 178gr AMAX. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Free bore and COAL

    I've been trying different bullets and it doesn't look like I will be able to load any of the bullets that I've measured very close to the lands in my AIAT 308 due to free bore. The mag length is 2.98" so I COULD load the 168gr SMKs to the lands but it leaves very little of the bullet in the...

    Atlas PSR

    Anyone know how much longer before they are at the retailers? I've been patiently waiting to put one on my new AT. Are they hands over fists better than the BT10? Just wondering if I should wait or go ahead and get the BT10 now. I currently have a Harris NON-swivel and I need one that swivels...

    Frustrating!

    I tried finding a hunting load for my AIAT 308 with 168gr Barnes TTSX using Varget. Since it's for hunting I used once fired LC MACHINE GUN brass (I'm thinking this is one of my issues). I have a LOT of freebore in my AT so I loaded these to 2.930" using a Forster Ultra Micrometer seating die...

    A blast of wind from Howard Sterns ass shoots down plane!

    "It would appear that the plane was shot down from a blast of wind from Howard Sterns ass"! WOW!! How could MSNBC not check the credentials of a caller before putting them on live TV??? This is a tragic event and not to be taken lightly but I couldn't help but laugh when I watched this video.

    Anyone loading 308 for the new AIAT yet?

    Anyone loading 308 ammo for the new AIAT? I got a 20" sitting at home but I won't be able to test her out for another 2 weeks. I measured with a Hornady comparator and 168gr SMK's and the OAL is 2.935" to lands. Seems like a long jump. No way I will load to 2.935" so I figure I will just start...

    Finding componants

    My local shop is loaded down. Unfortunately they don't carry Berger 175 Hybrids for 308. Plenty of match primers and plenty of powders but they are expensive. If anyone is from south Louisiana PM me for store location.

    R15 vs Varget

    I have several pounds of Varget that I have been loading for my AR308 and I have found good loads with it. The other day one of my LGS had ONE pound of R15 so I jumped on it.. I will be loading precision loads when my AIAT 308 arrives and I was wondering which would be a better powder to start...
