    OCW - Velocity or Powder Charge??

    I have always used Varget for my .223/.308 loads but over here it's nigh on impossible to get currently so I have moved over to N140.

    Advice needed please. .308 168 A-Max

    Hello, I've been using the 168 A-max in my PSS for 2 years charged with 44.2 gr of Varget with satisfactory results but today I decided I'd like to try the OCW method of reloading. Also I fitted it into an AICS stock which seems to have improved its consistency overall. I started with...
