    OCW Help

    So I went back out today, didn’t do round robin. 5 on each. I know I pulled a few. Poa2 #5 poa #4. I think I need to run it again. I did it over a chronograph and put the velocity and sd at the bottom. Top left -right- center- bottom left-right 22.1-22.9 in .2 increments. I think somewhere...

    Montana people?

    Richey is amazing that time of year up here..... In all seriousness, it can be hot up here then. Niehart might be nice, and should be somewhat cooler and not so touristy.

    OCW Help

    Thank you for that. I will go back and run it in 0.2 from 22.1 but go to 22.7 just to see. I think some of the vertical spread was cheek pressure on my part.

    OCW Help

    All rounds were ejecting 3-4 oclock today. I don’t run factory ammo, only my handloads. Everything fed good and I only did one round in the mag at a time to give the barrel time to cool, bolt stayed open with each. I didn’t run it over a chrono, but these must be a little faster than the smk I...

    OCW Help

    I’m just looking for a range that I can load this bullet at and just shoot. I can throw powder in the hopper on my 650 and mass load and only check my weights every 50 or do rounds. Not looking to get small moa, just a good middle range where I’m not having to be nit picky on my reloading.

    Lyman M die on 650

    I was loading 308win today. Cases are Lapua on their third loading. FL sized, and trimmed with the Dillon rt1500. I put a Lyman M die in station 1 of the loading toolhead, because everything I read said that I would not need to chamfer. Somewhere I went wrong. I was seeing copper shavings after...

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    I load all my ammo on Dillon 650s. I got real worried about OL, case length etc. Then someone asked if I shot good enough to see the difference in .001-.005 ol difference with a 308 or the same in case length. When I realized I can't, I said fuck it and things have gotten a lot better. Last time...

    Looking for help reading my ocw test

    I use the same components for a 5r, except I am using lapua brass and my load is 44.7 at 2768 es 8, sd 3.4. OCW website there is generally a node with varget in the 45.0 range.

    Scale drift issues

    I have an old Lyman 500 and a rcbs digital scale. I was loading some 308 yesterday, and the rcbs was being a pain in the ass. So I checked it against the Lyman, and it was consistently 0.2 high. It would read 44.9 when the Lyman beam would read 44.7. Unfortunately the check weights that came...

    Starting to Reload in 2024

    OP, be prepared to spend a lot more than $1,000 just to get started. I love reloading because I can make better ammo cheaper, but I don’t want to spend hours to read 100rds. But to get started it’s not cheap. Could you get started under 1k, yes. But you’ll be loading very slowly and...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    I am sort of embarrassed to show mine after how neat everyone else's is, but I know where things are, and it is organized for how my brain works. I just put in the second bench with 650. Finally have one setup for large and small primers, lot easier to reload and not be changing between them. I...

    308win trim length question

    Ok, thank you. Most of it falls between 2.006-2.010. So I am guessing that's "good enough"? It is easy to get lost and not see the forest through the trees sometimes.

    308win trim length question

    I trimmed a bunch of lapua 308win once fired brass. And going through case gauging and measuring case lengths. I am throwing everything that’s 2.007-.008 into the use bin, stuff linger in one shorter in another. My question is, how much of a difference does .001-.002 in length make on 308...
