    RL 17 with 185 Berger VLDs

    Re: RL 17 with 185 Berger VLDs I'm still new to reloading and have not tried many powders. They are shooting real good for me in the 2650fps range. Is the VH560 the same burn rate as the RL17 or close? If I order the VH it will be the same price I pay for RL17 at Bass Pro.

    HAPPY 4th!!! ladder test question?

    Re: HAPPY 4th!!! ladder test question? Sweet! The results with the OCW at 100 yards came out the same as the ladder test. So I guess that is for sure the barrels node. I've never shot or even seen a match in person so if you can PM me the rules, how it's set up and what I'll be shooting at...

    HAPPY 4th!!! ladder test question?

    Re: HAPPY 4th!!! ladder test question? Thanks! I'll read up on that. 100 yards would make it alot easier on me. I can go to our local range.

    HAPPY 4th!!! ladder test question?

    Happy 4th and hope everyone has a safe night! I did a ladder test this morning and got this. It was 600 yards lasered. Why is the vertical string not that long? And, do I refine the 3 that grouped at the bottom and the two at the very top? Thank you!

    Moly coated or non??

    Re: Moly coated or non?? Where do you guys get the HBn? They've just recently used this on bullets right? Can it be applied the same as moly? I'm using a tumbler. Moly does suck! If it gets combined with moisture, some type of chemical reaction happens that can erode the barrel. The boron...

    RL 17 with 185 Berger VLDs

    Re: RL 17 with 185 Berger VLDs Hahaha! I figured as much... Ya it's a .308. I've been shooting a butt load so I better order a new barrel now. I hear some really nice barrels can take a long time. I've been into ARs and this is my first shooting past 500 yards, so don't beat me up too bad. I...

    Moly coated or non??

    Re: Moly coated or non?? Molly is a lube they use to coat the bullets. If you've been loading regular jacketed bullets back your charge some and work up cause molly will come out a bit slower and may cause more pressure if you're loading max. It reduces fouling too. I made a mistake of...

    RL 17 with 185 Berger VLDs

    Hi. New here... Anyone out there using this combo? I'm looking for more load info to compare to than the Alliant site. I got up to 46.5gr. moving at av. 2650 not signs of pressure, but I was seeing too much heat on my barrel after 4-5 shots(24" fluted). I'm kinda new to handloading too. Does...
