    ***.284 WIN LOADS***

    Just put a 284 win together. I ordered some Berger 180s to try. What's your 180 loads? Looking at h4350, h4831sc, or maybe rl16 if I can find some

    Hand Loading for Long Range 4: Powderin' it

    At 100 yrds you wont see much for velocity change. Say 1/2". Well if you shoot a group with the same powder load it may shoot 1" give or take. So its hard to determine if the spread your are seeing is velocity or group related at short distance. I was recently thrown for a loop when I shot...

    300wsm and a 168 amax?

    Anyone run these two? What powders you try and what seemed best? Ive got some varget, H4350, imr 4831 h 380 and some rl15 maybe even rl17 to play with

    proper form...

    Thanks. I need to work on that. Ive had consistency issues in the past that I suspect have to do with bad form. I need to build up the cheek rest and practice staying on the rifle for loading the next round. But the whole idea of being straight behind seems off. Ill have to practice.

    proper form...

    Seems I love heard here and there to keep you body square to the rifle so the stock is hitting your body square and not being pushed to one side. But in order to line your eye up in the scope I really dont see how this is possible. So what are they trying to convey? I see adjustable butt...

    Rifle Scopes swfa vs vortex

    Well not so far.... most of my shooting has been 500 yrds or less but soon I will be shooting that routinely. And now I'm close to a 1000 yrds range.

    Rifle Scopes swfa vs vortex

    So I have a vortex hs-t 5-15x44 I've used for the last year or so. Pretty happy with it for the most part. I'm going to need a new scope for a 300 wsm I just picked up. Should I spring the extra cash for the swfa ss 3-15x42?

    Bullet Seating Depth ?

    My hornandy dies have always been very uniform. .001 difference at most. Check to see where your seating stem contacts the bullet. Otherwise it may be poor design.

    Gunsmithing 300wm or 300wsm

    SA vs LA. Is what it comes down to. A 175 lrx will handle elk easily. You dont need 200 gr bullets. Wsm seems to shoot 180 gr bullets best. Win mag stuff seems more plentiful to find but ballistic wise there's not enough to sweat it.

    IMR 4350 vs. H4350 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    That seems very slow. How how did you go before pressure signs? Most people are shooting 140's around 2800 with great results

    Your thought on my OCW test?

    Imo shoot it at 300 and you might be able to get something out of it.

    h4350 in stock

    Thanks now I just need to find some In stock

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I think you got a weak batch of powder. Hornandy sometimes runs 43 gr in their load to keep up velocity. Now recent 140 a max loads have indeed been loaded with a different powder. Still waiting to hear back what they switched to. The new powder is black and has a hole in the center of it...
