Did you length sort these or just out of the box? Looking at your graph, most were very good with a few outliers.

I will test that, but there is no way I am 80 degrees off hand holding it. None the less I will give that a shot- thanks.

Digging this one up as I am having a similar issue. For clarification I turn the Kestral on / calibrate compass. I have a large fan in the room I am working in to simulate the wind. I aim the kestrel directly at the fan representing it is target 1. I capture the DOF to target one (I have...

Pretty neat piece of history, I carried one for several years- too bad we were stuck with the .308 for so long. Great to see the Marine Corps going to much better rounds.

I built a little light weight .308 that I hunt with on occasion. I am shooting 200 gr. NAB at right around 2400 fps with a case so full of RE17 (46.0) you can hear the powder crunching as I seat the bullet. I think I should be able to get 2500 fps out of this rifle with the right powder. Any...

Re: Pressure signs with my 30-378 as the barrel warms Thanks Jeff. I will give the H1000 a shot along with longer cooling periods.

I have an issue with my 30-378 that I am having a hard time getting a handle on. The rifle is a custom long range rig Hall G 34 in Pac-nor 3/3 1.25in bull barrel .333 neck. I am shooting 240 SMK at around 3050 fps when everything goes right, but I get weird pressure signs out of nowhere. I...

Re: New Hornady .30 cal 225 I have some on order. My 30-378 will shoot 240 SMK's at 3100 comfortably (34 in barrel) Maybe these will hit 3200 (less bearing surface, lighter) maybe 3250. I will test and report what I find.

I am going to finally start messing with a 30-378 I built a couple of years ago. .333 neck Hall G action 34 in. 3/3 Pac-nor barrell, 1.35 no taper. Jewell trigger. I am going to start with 240SMK and hope to try some heavy Bergers when / if they become availibles. Anyone shoot a similar set...

Re: What alloy steal do you use for targets? 1/4 in. works well for most long range applications

Re: Dave Tooley; send me my rifle parts !!! To answer a few questions: I sent Dave a check for 2,000.00 in Jan 2010. He told me then all parts were on order. Come to find out the stock was never ordered. I do not know if the barrel ever was or not. Like I said; I have built several...

Re: New Hornady .30 cal 225 I don't think you will have any problems with the 240's in a 10 twist. I don't in my 30-378

I hate to do this; but Dave has left me no choice. 14 months ago (Jan 2010) I sent him a down payment on a 338 Yogi. After he got my money he was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get in contact with. I had to start two different threads on two different forums asking if he was still in business. It was...

Re: 30 cal 240SMK Ok, thanks. Always interested in ways to reduce runout.

Re: 30 cal 240SMK Hmmm, care to expand a little on what exactly an inline bullet seating die is, and how it is different.

Re: 30 cal 240SMK Thanks Tom, I will get the 30-378 out of the corner and give it another shot, got a powder reccomendation for it? Anybody still using a 30-378 at the 1000 yard BR stuff? I know it held the record in the 80's shooting 250 SMK (if I remember right)10 shots in approx 4.25 in...

Re: 30 cal 240SMK Tom, For extreme long range work out of a custom 30-378 (34 in. 3/3 Pac-nor .333 neck on a Hall action) would you prefer the 240 SMK or the 210 Berger? I have not messed with this rifle much and I know I need to test both bullets, but I was under the assumption that...

Re: 30 cal 240SMK To add to the original post on the subject of the 240 SMK, my 30-378 gets over 3100 fps with them.

Re: Long Range Rifle Match 12-26-10 So Cal I read the links you provided, could you give me a few more details of the long range shoot, how it is scored, etc. Thanks, John
