    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help I was a little concerned about it being short, but the rifle seems to love it. Loading up 50 rounds on this setup to shoot and crono. As I went up in length, groups opened up.

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help I decided to go with 45gr and adjust my seating depth to tighten up the groups. Shot 200yrds, 3 shots per group, round robin style. Depths were (2.79, 2.80, 2.81). I'm pretty happy with my 2.79 results.

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help I will try that, load 45 gr and just go shoot. I've been fighting load testing too long and just want to go enjoy shooting for a while.

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help I haven't personally done any comparison testing, but doesn't Winchester brass have a larger internal capacity? If your load is 44.7 with Lapua, wouldn't that be over 45 with Winchester brass? Not trying to be an ass if it comes across that way, I'm genuinely...

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help The bolt was not sticky, and primers looked fine. Yes my twist is 1:10. I was planning on finding my load with the OCW, then running that load thru the chrono, so I don't know my velocity yet. I measured my OAL at 2.82, so I seated to 2.8. (I will re-measure...

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help So it looks like I'm reshooting. I tried to get some pictures of the fired brass, but it didn't show up very well. All brass looked the same. The primers didn't look any different, the 45.8 just had a light shiny spot from the extractor. It was faint, but...

    First OCW results help

    Re: First OCW results help Sounds like a good idea. I'll reshoot the 45 groups. I'm more comfortable with that powder range. Is the 45.8 gr too high with the slight pressure signs I'm seeing?

    First OCW results help

    Working on developing a load for my rifle, and shot an OCW test yesterday. I'm having a little difficulty interpreting the data, and wanted some extra input here. Remington 700 AAC-SD - .308 BC Light Medalist stock Load: Winchester Brass - 2 fired Federal 210M Varget OAL- 2.80 175 SMK...

    Re: Next Purchase for Rem 700 Getting a price from my distributor on the B&C Medalist Light Tactical. Seems to be the consensus.

    Next Purchase for Rem 700

    Re: Next Purchase for Rem 700 Good idea, didn't think about the training being about that price. On another note, I see you're not too far from me. I'm still not thrilled with the local range selection. I've been shooting at Thunder Gun Range and occasionally Conroe Gun Emporium. Am I...

    Next Purchase for Rem 700

    So I have a few wife approved funds to spend on my Rem 700 AAC-SD. And I already spent the unapproved funds before you say that . I already have a bipod and reloading gear. I'm looking to spend around $150-$200ish. My thoughts on options: New trigger, probably a Rifle Basix. I currently...
