    Any inside scoop on this? Hodgdon shows it in their loads but nothing else on their site mentions it. It looks like good velocities with the .308.

    Bullet choice help, please.

    I was looking for some bullet option.I'm loading a .308 in a Remington VLS where the freebore seems to be about a 1/4 mile long! Right now I'm using a 168 Matchking over 46gr of Varget.

    OAL question

    Reloading .308's that will be shot one at a time in my gun. It looks like 2.880 will put me about .010 off of the rifling. Will this hurt anything? As in being too long? The gun is a 700 VLS and it is a Lapua case and a 168 Matchking. Thanks for helping, Scott.

    .308 die question

    I am gonna reload .308 for my bolt gun, starting with new Lapua brass. I was looking at the Lee collet dies but I'm not sure. I'll only size the necks. Are all the dies I need in this set? Looking at the Lee website, it's confusing. Or, do I need different dies all together? Thanks, Scott.

    Gunsmithing Barrel Coatings

    Has anyone tried barrel coatings such as TiN or any of the other vapor depositions? It seems this could be a huge advantage by offering less friction and a tougher surface. There would be other advantages as well depending on the coating used. Whatcha think???

    I have a 700 VLS in .308 and I'm looking for a decent base and rings. I don't have the scope yet so I'm not sure of the height. I'm just looking for what people recommend as far as the brand. The gun will be used for paper out to about 800 yards or so. Keep in mind that I'm a married man and...

    Favorite reloading manual

    What is YOUR favorite reloading manual and why? I have several and my favorite is the Hornady. Not sure of the number but it came with two books. The second book had trajectories and ballistics. The only problem is that I can't find the first book. Scott.
