    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    Guys, my distance to lands is driving me nuts. I'm an engineer so the details and precision are something I can't let go off and I'm off deep into the rabbit hole. Would appreciate some perspective. Have a GAP 280AI and had been measuring distance to lands every couple hundred rounds or so...

    OCW results. Where to go from here?

    I ran two OCW tests for my 223 Rem. Both used Sierra BlitzKing 55g bullets loaded to the lands, Fed 205M primers, once fired winchester brass neck sized only. First test was with Hodgdon Benchmark with charges from 23.8 to 25.9 in 0.3g increments. I know I'm only supposed to be concerned at...

    Leade for 223 Chambering - is this OK?

    I have a Savage model 11 in 223 Rem. Just getting ready to start reloading for it. Leade measurement is 1.964". Is this OK, excessive, etc? If loaded to the lands, is this too long to ensure decent bullet seating depth (ie is this barrel worn out or is this just typical excessive leade as...

    Rifle Scopes Ring spacing

    Wanted to get some thoughts on ring spacing as I mount a new scope. I have plenty of room fore/aft on the rail to maintain proper scope placement for eye relief fit. The question I'm trying to answer is whether I should mount the rings on a narrow footprint (closer to the turret body) or...
