    Hunting & Fishing .243 for coyotes

    For volume shooting, keep an eye on Midway for sales on the 243 Dogtown Ammo. It's said to be made by Nosler and uses the 70gr Varmageddon. I use the brass and it holds up well.

    Issues reloading .300WM

    Use liberal amounts of imperial sizing wax when you start using the LW die. I used it with 257 Wby brass that was difficult to even chamber. I got a few stuck until the die wore in. Make sure every ten or so you clean the grooves in the collet so it can expand and contract as needed. I use a...

    Recommendation for a .308

    PTG has barreled actions for sale, rather cheap right now. The 308 heavy barrel Howa is going for $299 right now, slap a good BC stock on it for 300-400, and all rigged up perfectly pretty cheap... Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    223 trainer freebore

    I don't have my notes with me, but I'm loading around 2.320" with a factory Rem SPS Tac, using Wyatt's DBM and the 70gr RDF. They shoot consistent 1/2 MOA with AR Comp right at 2850 fps. Verified out to 450 yards, that's with a 9 twist barrel, it's loaded 10 thou off the lands and I've always...

    308 Starline brass

    Has anyone used Starline brass yet? I just saw they added 338 Federal brass. Assuming it will be of equal quality to the 308 brass. Right now I'm using HSM brass to differentiate my 338 and Lapua for 308, but my father in law uses 308 as well, so there are standard head stamps in there as well...

    Magnetospeed V3 or Labradar?

    Depends on where you shoot. Busy range, then definitely go with the mag speed. If you have a quiet place to shoot, I'd hands down get the lab radar. I got the MS prior to the lab radar coming out. When I do load development, I load one round for an idea on velocity, going up in the range I want...

    Pre soak before SS tumble???

    I had a problem with the last batch of filthy brass I put in my Frankford, it took two cleanings, but it was older brass, my father in law has been saving his 7mm Rem Mag brass for years, apparently just waiting for me to find his daughter. After my normal routine of a 9mm of Lemi shine and a...

    ReMage: Criterion vs Mcgowen???

    Honestly, just go with whichever will get you the barrel quickest. I went with Criterion simply due to it being a month wait from NSS, and McGowan being over two at the time. It's an amazing barrel, shooting very well in under 50 shots. Load dev was a breeze. I don't really know if you will...

    223 cartridge ?

    I also have a Remington 700 SPS Tac, which has a 20" 1-9" Remington barrel. I did load dev this spring with the Nosler RDF 70 grain and AR Comp. I had 1k wolf cases primed that I picked up a few years ago cheap, so just neck sizing and using a VLD chamfer, I dump in 23.0 grains AR Comp, set it...

    Brownells 308 short chambered barrel

    Correct, which is where I would order it from. But after searching Satern's online store, it it's not shown there so I'm assuming it is a Brownells exclusive. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Brownells 308 short chambered barrel

    Thanks, I sent an email to Satern to find out about that. Also just to see if it's a Brownells exclusive and what not since it's not even in their store online. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Brownells 308 short chambered barrel

    Hey there, First time post, long time lurker. I'm looking to rebarrel my 700p in 308 with a shot out barrel. Satern makes the barrel for Brownells, it's the M24E, 24" 5R 1-10" stainless with a threaded muzzle. It is short chambered, looking at 4D for a finish reamer in their 308 Lapua match...
