bought her sooner than i'd originally planned, but with all the hype right now i figured I'd better jump on it while i could. Didn't even get gouged

I'm using a Shooting Chrony Beta that shows my average to be about 2660 at 10ft. I'm shooting berger 175 hvld from a 20" barrel. 44.7gr Varget 2.005 OAL which is .007 jammed. Lapua brass, CCI BR2 primer. JBM shows my 200 and 300 drops to be 1.8" and 4.5" respectively. But when I shot today I...

I was trying to develop a load for 100% suppressor use since hunting in Texas now permits using a suppressor. I'm using Berger 175HVLD, 44.7gr Varget, Lapua Brass .005 jammed, CCI BR2, 20" barrel, YHM suppressor, 2690fps. My last two loads, 168 SMK and Berger 185's didn't seem to be impacted...

So I just got back from the range working up a load with new Lapua .308 brass. Berger 175 HVLD, Lapua Brass (minimal case prep), powder range from 43.6 - 44.8, Varget powder, CCI BR2 primer, Savage 10FCP suppressed. All the brass oal was around 2.004-2.006 when new. Every case shrunk to...

After some help on loads I got my subsonic load working pretty good. It currently varies from 990-1005fps . I'm using Trail Boss powder and Hornady 170gr FP bullets in an 18" savage with a YHM suppressor. Here's the 3 videos, supersonic, supersonic suppressed, and subsonic suppressed...

So I received the loading specs from Berger for the VLD 185gr Hunting round. The documentation shows the start load to be 37.5gr of Varget with the max load being 41.6 at 101.7% capacity and vel of 2535fps. So i started off with 37.7 and worked my way up to 40.7 as the math shows that 40.9 is...

My shorty

This weekend I was load testing and fired 50 rounds, 5 shots each, per .1 grain of powder. I came up with an odd result. All rounds were loaded in the same sitting from the same batch of once fired fully prepped brass, that was also prepped in the same sitting. All shooting was done in the...

Well, today was my first time with my hand loads. I think, all in all it did pretty well. I'm not sure about the velocity going up and the POI coming down, though. What do you think? Two groups I think I'm going to play with.. Shots 3-6 and 12-15. I hope 14 and 16 were me pulling the...

To start with, I'm brand new to reloading. In fact, I haven't reloaded a single round yet. My last two shipments of gear arrive next week. So anyways, years ago I saw a special on Army snipers, I believe, and they showed the armory guys reloading ammunition. They were weighing the cases and...

So, all my reloading gear has either arrived or is arriving. I've got 300 federal match 308 cases tumbled and half way prepped. I've got powder, bullets, and just about everything..... except some damn PRIMERS! I can't find anywhere in Houston that has primers. This is rediculous. I live...
