    Lee Classic Cast Turret: Loading Precision Ammo

    For a while now I've done all of my loading on a Lee Classic Cast Turret, and did all of my .308 loading on a single stage. Circumstances have changed, and I've finally moved to a house with a garage and built myself a workbench. I built it 4' long and I'm planning to keep 2 presses on it. I...

    My gun hates lapua brass?

    At this point I'm at my freaking wits end. I've worked up a load in Winchester brass for my Savage 308. With a 175gr SMK, Hodgdon Varget, I was shooting between 45.6gr-45.9gr as my accuracy node. I was given a rather large amount of lapua .308 brass. So I decided to transfer my load over to the...

    155.5 Scenar Max load

    I was getting ready to load up some rounds to do a little testing, and was going to follow the path I'd taken with 155gr sierra. In Winchester brass I loaded up to 48.5gr with no pressure signs with the sierra 2156 bullet. Using Varget, I switched to lapua cases, so I lowered the max charge by...

    ladder test, strange results?

    The upward stringing is what should be there, but what's with all the stringing up to the right. This was shot at 300 with bipod and rear bag. Thinking that those 155's look awful good. Gonna focus my next tests in the 45.5-47.0gr range with the 155's. Considering that weight range grouped a...

    Savage 308 COL question

    I have a quick question. I am using the cleaning rod method to figure out max OAL to the lands. With a 155 sierra I get 2.914" max length when the bullet touches the lands. Max that fits in my mag is 2.855" so that's fine. I also looked up where some other people were and 2.915" seems...

    R-P 223 brass

    Is R-P quality brass? I am looking to buy some 223 brass that doesn't have a primer crimp to take care of. I currently have a couple hundred LC brass that I'm loading, but I plan on moving to something else once this brass wears out. Just wondering if R-P is quality brass, or if I should go a...

    New Powder, retry all bullets?

    Just a quick question here, if I try several bullets with one powder, and one type of bullet groups good so I develop that load, then decide I also want to try another powder, should I retry all the other bullets? Essentially I'm asking if barrels like certain powder/bullet combination, or if...

    Getting Started

    So I've been reloading plinking and hunting ammo for my ar for a while now, and I just put my money down for a savage 10 in .223. Until I start to get better, and can afford a barrel that isn't 1:9 twist I plan to shoot 100-300 yards, so there's not much point in developing a really long range...

    New guy here

    I didn't see an introduction section anywhere, so I figure you either don't want to talk to me or....I could just post here, what seems to be the most appropriate place. Anyways, I've been considering buying a rifle to get into precision or long range shooting. I have been leaning toward the...
