OCW Results!
Ran an OCW the other week with cfe223 and 175smk out of my 308. Didn't do so hot so I ran a test with varget this morning with much better results. I believe 44.5 is the ticket. I pulled one to the right on the 44.2 group. Rifle: Remi 700 sps tac 308 Load details: BH match brass Varget Fed...- dustinoif3

175gr smk OCW First Test
I stumbled onto some 175 smk's at the local shop the other day so I thought I would give them a try. The rifle is a 700 sps 1-12 twist 308. Ive ran ocw's on 168gr bullets and the ocw was easy to spot with them. This test did not go as well. Test Details: 100y fired round robin with 3 to...- dustinoif3

Whidden FL bushing size die
I can't stop looking at whidden's website. I'm almost to the point of purchasing. Just curious to how much better it is compared to my lee die. Will I honestly see an accuracy improvement or is just that the die doesn't work the brass as hard? It also mentions that its spec'd to a ptg reamer...- dustinoif3

? About OCW test
I've been reading into ladder tests and OCW tests. I can see why a round robin test works well but the question I have is how many targets do you set up and how many rounds do I load? Lets say I have 10 different charges at .3gr increments so do I load 3 of each charge weight for a total of 30...- dustinoif3

550B issues
I've had my 550 for about a year and a half and I've never had a bit of trouble till the other day. I was changing the machine from 45 to 40 and my last step was the primer bar. I disassembled and cleaned and installed the small primer bar. When I ran the press a couple times to check everything...- dustinoif3

180gr out of a 20" 1-12 twist Remi 700 .308
Having problems finding my 168gr bullets I normally load. My wife was at cabelas today and found some 180gr nosler ballistic hunting. I had her buy 100 for me to possibly try in my rifle. I've talked with a few people that claim they will stabilize but when I apply the greenhill formula by math...- dustinoif3
