    .308 VLD's in the AR-10?

    Any change in the reloading process requires load development to get it "spot on" vice just there. Why not do a load development. who knows maybe less powder to achive the same results. Also your limitaions will be mag length. I know a few shooters who shoot nothing but VLD's with great success...

    Shoulder bumping question.

    Any die that is a full length size will work. Bump gauges measure directly of the shoulder datum line. measure your fired cases using the new tool, note measurement an install your F/L die accordingly, just dont seat it all the way down. start sizing a case an measure an take measurements to...

    What brass to choose

    Thanks for the repiles, so with what everyones input it seems like im going to have to figure out what a good going price will be. I dont want to give it away for as nice as I am, but I will not be one of those guys that charges an arm and a leg for it. We already have to pay that for powder an...

    Choice of Brass

    Awesome groups, looks like you have a good load development there Also I'm not going to say the 6.5x284 is not a good cartridge but there's others with better barrel life (1-1.5k) Look at the 6m dasher (36 grn) or the 308 (45+Grn) for instance both good do an have a good barrel life an will...

    Dillon 650 question on powder charge volume

    Don't give up on it just yet, it's so easy to try and fix one issue by trying to replace it. Allow the "machine" to break in, learn it love it an then try to make it better. Have you gone out to test the batch of amo it's making already. If all else fails then try the upgrade. Progressives...

    Dillon 650 question on powder charge volume

    Il take pictures of both the spring set up as well as the powder bar For static I use a folded up dryer sheet held on with a rubber band, while leaving enough space to see the powder level. Or anti static spray prior to adding any powder in the hopper

    Dillon 650 question on powder charge volume

    I second the cosistant operation of the handle, to ensure accuracy. I replaced the linkage and added two springs wrapped around the base of the dispensor to the powder bar, giving me the flexiblity of where to place the dispensor I know you mentioned it was a brand new system, but have you...

    reloading 308 LC brass

    With using LC brass If it's regular LC brass it should be sized twice to ensure even shoulder set back I use a regular FL die followed by a bump die. LC brass fired from machine guns index of the link, hence sloppy chambers (and barrel changes to prevent melting barrels). Primer pockets crimp...

    Running SMK HPBTs and Berger MHVLD 175grns in the same rig

    The only thing that I would be concerned with is each will have there own zero, I shoot 77 grain for 2, 3yds and 82 grains at 600. other than that I dont see why you couldnt shoot both out of the same rig. Just remember to work up a load for each of the two styles bullets. As well as keep...
