I seat the 168 gr Amax's 10 thou off the lands and push em with 43.6 gr of Varget. My groups opened up with more powder. But I'm using a 26" 3 groove barrel so I don't know how useful this info will be for you.

Re: .308 help With Varget 43.6 gr gave me the best results - Lapua brass, NCC 168 gr bullet & Win LRP. Based on drops at 300 yds and 600 yds I estimate the muzzle velocity at 2600 fps. I can get more velocity without pressure signs but the groups open up so I'm sticking with the 43.6 gr...

Just wondering if any have ever come across custom action (Pierce, Lawton, Stiller, Surgeon, etc) comparisons pitting a single shot design against a similar repeater? How much more accurate are the single shot actions? Would it require an extremely skilled marksman to realize any accuracy...

I currently have a Remy 700 action in a Bell & Carlson stock with Wyatt bottom metal. I'm thinking about replacing the action with a Barnard Model SM. The Barnard US distributor website, MT Guns, says this action can use H-S or Badger bottom metal. Anybody here know if the Wyatt set-up I...

Re: Shot my best groups ever today...have a question If you don't have a chrony and want to know your muzzle velocity you can estimate it fairly well if you can shoot at longer distances. Zero at 100 yards then shoot a group at 300 and 600 yds without changing the scope settings. Then...

Re: First round of load development, thoughts I think your charge increment of 2 grains is too large for a 1st pass at load development.

Re: Options for a high quality, fast 3 way trimmer I use the RCBS Trim Pro with their 3 way cutter for 223. Works good for me. Takes a little effort to set up the cutter properly but once that's done it's a real time saver.

Re: Redding Type S FL Bushing Die Adds Run Out to 338 Get rid of the expander in your FL die and then size and measure run out. If it shows improvement then ditch that expander for good. Pick up a Lyman M expander for when you need one. I don't always use an expander. Since the necks...

Re: Do I need to FL size new brass? I do a few different things depending on the brass. With Nosler Custom Competition brass I do nothing - just load it right out of the box. This stuff is in my opinion the highest quality brass I've ever used. They ship it in shrink wrapped plastic in 50...

Re: Aspiring F class shooter Just in case you didn't know there is a F Class Competition section here. I'msure you'll be able to find some helpful info there. Here's a LINK.

Re: Brass prep question (measuring for shoulder bump) Longshooter70, Yes it is a tight chamber, that's what a match chamber is really - a tight chamber. I am seeing a slight growth though - on average 1.3 thousandth of an inch: 1.6230" to 1.6243". This is good for reloading, less growth =...

Re: Vertical streaks on neck after using Redding TypeS Are you using SS tumbling media? If so it may be the source of your problem. I had brass build up on my Lyman M die because of the shot peening effect of the SS media on the top surface of the case mouth. No big deal however as...

Re: Tired or FL resizing 308, how do I bump shoulder? I bump the shoulder in 308 with a Redding body die and neck size with a type S bushing die. I measure head space on every case I reload. My head space target value is what I get on once fired new brass. When the head space measures more...
