    Hey guys I'm about to get down to loading some 308Win and 300Win later this weekend (hoepfully) and I've got a question about bullet seaters. I've got Forster micrometer adjustment bullet seaters for both calibers, but I've also got an old school Vickerman bullet seater that I've always used...

    Bullet OAL on SMK 77gr .223

    Does anyone have a 77 gr .223 SMK that they can measure the BULLET dimension for me please? Google and a site search aren't netting me anything. I bought a bunch of Amax's only to find they won't fit in my magazine. Thanks.

    Good quality brass and bullet decisions....

    Shooting a Rem 700 SPS Tactical in .308 w/ 20" barrel. I have been shooting the 168gr SMK's with good results but also haven't tried much else. They are a light load (42gr varget) so no matter what I need to work it up some. I want to eventually get out to 1000 and maybe a bit further with...

    A friend of mine gave me 5 rounds of .308 with .223 rounds loaded in them, there is some sort of spacer to fill the gap. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this before. They are green tipped and look like a 62gn bullett but caint be sure unless i pull it and weigh it.

    I was speaking with Darrel Holland last night and he said he had a good amount of .223 and .308 brass along with some lapua 6br and some powders. Thought I would pass it along if anyone is having trouble finding anything. <span style="color: #3366FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">Email From...

    6.5 Lapua scenar bullet length

    Loaded up some 123 grain scenars for my 6.5X47 when I first got it. Overall length was 2.736" and 2.164" to the ogive. Really liked that bullet in my rifle, so bought 300 more and began loading more up recently. Seated them to 2.163" at the ogive. Overall length of these was 2.720"...

    Gunsmithing Bullet Tumbling not what you think

    Any one ever tumble any bullets, I just found someones stash from along time ago and they are in great shape but look like they are about to turn colors. There's enough to fill a small (1lb) coffee can so it would definitely pay off. I think they're 120g .257 smk's The only drawback I can think...

    6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet

    As much as I'd love to shoot the 140's, I'm reading this case is not designed for them. I have it narrowed down to the 130 Berger hunting vld, the 123 Scenar or the 130 Swampworks. I have experience with Bergers (7wsm-180 hunting vld) and love it, so I'm leaning that way, but the 123 scenar...

    Bullet selection question

    I have some 155gr Palma .308 bullets as well as some 168gr Sierra Matchkings. I will work up some loads for both to see what my rifle likes. I just made a trade for some .308 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. I figure that if my .308 doesn't like them my Swiss 7.5x55 might. Al;l they cost...
