Considering a move to the 7mm PRC and would like some advice on which rifle(s) to consider and which rifle(s) to avoid. Are there good "off the shelf" rifles out there or should I pay for a custom build? I would like to stay in the $2500 -$5000 range if possible. Is there a good selection of...

Thanks, Cory. Happy Thanksgiving. Bob

I shoot an FN SPR A3G with a 24" fluted barrel. I recently installed a muzzle break which adds roughly 2" to my barrel length. I use Quickload to get a starting point for my load development. The question is whether to use 24" as the barrel length value or 26". Any advice is greatly appreciated. Bob

Looking to add a new rifle. Currently, my go-to rifle is an FN SPR A3G, chambered in .308. Want to get a Nosler 28. I do not hunt, so weight is not a concern. Range shooting only. Looking for best bang for the buck (no pun intended). Bob

I have been anay from the forum for a while, so please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered. If it has, please direct me to the answer. Anyway,,, I shoot an FN SPR A3G chambered in .308. I would like to know from those who are shooting the Sierra 168 TMK if this bullet...

Did you reset your caliper to zero when you attached the comparator? Your 3.335 and 3.247 measurements are most likely 2.335 and 2.247, respectively.

My cleaning solution mixes 2 tablespoons of anhydrous (powdered) citric acid in 1 gallon of tap water, with a splash of dishwashing detergent (such as Dawn). 1. Fill the ultrasonic cleaner tank with tap water, to 1" below the maximum fill line. 2. Fill a 600ml Pyrex or Kimax laboratory beaker...

Is there an attachment that permits you to chuck the RCBS into a cordless drill?

Looking for a recommended case trimmer for .308. I want to be able to chuck it into a cordless drill. I want it to trim case mouth to length, chamfer and de-burr case mouth. I want to use it with neck-sized cases. Any recommendations?

I've had that happen to me. I have incorporated checking all mounting screws into my (pre)range checklist.

I shoot the 208 Amax using 48.0 gr. of MR 2000 and I get 2625 FPS. Rifle is Savage 110FP with 1:10 twist and 24" barrel.

There is a number of manufacturers who produce high-quality handloading equipment and components. I began by purchasing a "kit" and, as I learned more and became more skilled and proficient, I began to systematically replace one piece of equipment with another of higher quality and precision.

If the steps on your check list are sequential, shouldn't you anneal before resizing your brass?

tridiumk - yes, you've got it right. Filling the tank wastes cleaning solution and is messier than the way I do it. It's a matter of personal preference I guess.

No misunderstanding on my part. Your formula and its application are pretty straight-forward. I was hoping someone (i.e., Berger Bullets) had the data on the depth of the open tip for their Hybrid bullets and would be willing to share it. Absent that, I had pretty much resigned myself to...

I would love to see Ballistics AE incorporate this new formula into its program, and I am encouraged by the fact that companies are sending their software to Mr. Courtney to see if the formula has been properly coded; BUT... without the data (e.g., the full density, length of nose depth, etc.)...

What is important is the ratio of sectional density to G7 BC. Dividing the sectional density by the G7 BC gives you the "form factor" of a bullet. The form factor is a measure of a bullet's drag, as compared to the drag of the standard G7 projectile. Form factors greater than 1.0 are bad. Form...

You can find the Excel spreadsheet and formulas here: New Formula for Gyroscopic Stability of Open Tipped Match Style Rifle Bullets

Where would/could one find a list of full densities for different bullets? Specifically, the Berger 155 and 215 Hybrid Match bullets. Is there a spreadsheet available?
