    Redding Type S Bushing 280 AI help!

    For Nosler 280 AI brass, the neck thickness is .013 and a loaded round measures .310 so you want a .308 or .309 bushing. For Norma 280 brass that has been fire formed to 280 AI the neck thickness is closer to .014 so you want a .310 or so bushing for that. I personally go with .002 tension and...

    Which powder dispenser and scale setup??

    Re: Which powder dispenser and scale setup?? For what its worth I have a GD503, Harrels and an Omega. I put 53.5 grains of H4831SC in 10 shells measuring down to the flake of powder without rushing and averaged 25 seconds a charge. Its basically exactly as fast as a promethius, half the...

    Chronograph setup

    Re: Chronograph setup Last tip ... if its setup in a shaded area you will probably get better results with the sky screen off. If the screens are casting a shadow you need the screen on. All they do is diffuse the light so the sensors dont get blinded. If it is overcast or the sun is...

    Chronograph setup

    Re: Chronograph setup As far as distance is concerned, the closer it is to you the more room you have to move left and right and still being over the sensors. Put it as close as you can until you get comfortable setting it up. If you try and lay your target spots out top to bottom in one or...

    Re: Chronograph setup I have 15' of masons string with a loop tied on one end. First I aim the rifle at the target. Then I loop the string over the elevation knob on the scope, pull it tight over the center of the furthest screen and make sure its running straight down the barrel and over...

    $1 per bullet and a free set of scope rings

    Re: $1 per bullet and a free set of scope rings Litz has a nice article describing the general problem with 30 cal. If you scale the high BC per caliber bullets up you have 140gr 6.5s, 180gr 7mms, leading to something around 230gr 30 cals. The 175gr range bullets are not heavy, they are...

    Annealing

    Re: Annealing In a dark room, do you want to take it out just before or just after it begins to glow a deep red? There is a moment when it will strike that color. Some articles say that any glow is bad. Others say that is the perfect point. With tempilaq paint a stripe of the low temp...

    Neck turning

    Re: Neck turning Yes dont worry about it until after you fire them. The sinclair tool is a good one too. Generally I have to make two passes with it. I do one pass, back it off then run it through one more time. I am using their gen 2 expander as well.

    Neck Tension for SMK 175 HPBT

    Re: Neck Tension for SMK 175 HPBT .001 - .002 works good for unturned lapua brass. after a few firings the bushing that was originally .002 will probably give you .0015 as the necks thin out a little. If you want one bushing and your main goal isnt 1000 yard competition I would go with...
