    What filling for rear bag?

    Re: What filling for rear bag? +1 for poly beads. The Hobby Lobby store that my wife frequents sells it. I also just bought 25lbs of walnut media from Harbor Freight for $25 for my tumbler. I will be using the spent media to make another bag and try it out. tater

    FGMM .308 sale at Turner's 20.98/box

    Re: FGMM .308 sale at Turner's 20.98/box I shot a box of the Prvi Match's in a Rem 700 SPS about three months ago. The rifle would do a little over .75 MOA with FGMM 175's and about 1.25 MOA with the Prvi. regards tater

    Shot my rifle for the first time today! (got a ?)

    Re: Shot my rifle for the first time today! (got a ?) One note to a first time bolt shooter. I don't know if you did or not, but you should clean the bore well before shooting the first time. The barrel comes with packing grease in it that will make the accuracy potential suck. For someone...

    Rifle Scopes 600 yards- 4.5-14 or 6.5-20?

    Re: 600 yards- 4.5-14 or 6.5-20? Well, I'm only 30, but I have pretty bad eyesight (combo of nearsightedness and astigmatism for those in the know). I picked up an IOR in 4.5-14x50 a few months ago and I have been amazed at how well I can see detail with it at distance. It is far better than...

    Hornady 208gr HPBT Match vs. 208gr A-Max

    Re: Hornady 208gr HPBT Match vs. 208gr A-Max JRob Yea, the 200 Match King may be good. But I have been loading the Game King in the 300 RUM. It has a .55 BC so it may not even be as good as the 200 SMK let alone the 208 A MAx. Thanks, tater

    Hornady 208gr HPBT Match vs. 208gr A-Max

    Re: Hornady 208gr HPBT Match vs. 208gr A-Max Thanks guys, Looking at a few of the 208 hpbt's they seem to be quite uniform in the meplat area (cleaner overall, more like Lapua scenar as opposed to SMK). They also seem to be pretty consistent in the length of each. I have not been able to...

    Hornady 208gr HPBT Match vs. 208gr A-Max

    I asked my local supplier to keep his eyes and ears open for some 208 Amaxes since I wanted to try them out in a couple rifles. He contacted Hornady and got the usual (march or so). But a few days later these showed up. I had never heard of them but I went on and bought 100 of them to try...

    Can you be tooo fast?

    Re: Can you be tooo fast? Have you ever made up a dummy round at the COAL you are using (.01" jammed), chambered it, then extracted and measured COAL again? If you are pushing the bullet deeper in the case when you chamber then case capacity is decreased. That along with no jump for the...

    .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now?

    Re: .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now? OK, I see the arm problem. Have you tried adjusting everything with the arm down and raising the arm, inserting cartridge, lowering arm, tightening collet with handle, then raising arm to pull the bullet? I still think it could work without...

    .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now?

    Re: .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now? Don't go cutting shit yet man! What "arm" are you refering to? Your main press arm should be in the down position when the bullet/case is up in the press. I will investigate the Forster press if you will post model # or pics. you could also...

    solid turned bullets for 308

    Re: solid turned bullets for 308 The BC of the FMJ bullets is not that good. I would imagine some reasons HP bullets are used for match ammo vs FMJ are the accuracy to which the core can be swaged into the jacket and then shaping/closing the base accurately enough. In older bullets the...

    Die Storage

    Re: Die Storage I am not familiar with your exact dies but I have had dies that don't fit the factory box. My problem was diameter related and not length. I used my Dremel to remove material on the plastic supports in areas where they were too long or wrong shape. If that won't work, try...

    Need Advice - Reloading/Group Shape

    Re: Need Advice - Reloading/Group Shape If you don't think runout can cause repeatable misses or second groupings, think about this. If you take a round with zero runnout and run it through a magazine and chamber which introduces runout, it will be introduced in the same direction for each...
