    That is exactly what I answered. Dan Newberry said that he subtracts .4 gr for Federal and .3 gr for Lapua. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    Powder Cheat Sheet

    I've been looking into what powders I should experiment with first for my 20" .308. Some people have told me I should look into faster burning powders, but others have said not to worry about it. Are there any guidelines that can assist choosing powders? Like 175 SMK + 20" = go for x or y...

    Reloading Equipment Question

    I was just going to use the headspace gage to make sure I have my sizing die set to bump the shoulder .001-.002. I already have a tumbler and cleaning stuff. Are comparators really that essential? They aren't expensive, but I might have to buy it a little later. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337...

    Reloading Equipment Question

    I needed to add the RCBS boxes to get a $50 rebate from RCBS. The kit comes with a hand primer. I will look into comparators thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    .308 200-300 yards (Bullet)

    I don't see any ballistic advantage (at least at the velocities I could get from a 20" barrel) of the 155 over the 175 SMK. I think I might just stick to the 175 SMK and 178 AMAX for now.

    .308 200-300 yards (Bullet)

    Thanks for the responses guys. My rifle is a 20" 5R if that helps. I know my rifle loves 168 and 175 SMKs, but I will try to use some 155s in the future. H/IMR4895 seems to be a popular powder choice for the 155s, any others I should try?

    Yeah but faster burning doesn't automatically mean faster bullet velocity.

    I am very new to reloading. What are the advantages of faster burning powders?

    This would still be for paper punching, not hunting. Thanks for the input though.

    F T/R Competition Question about stocks

    I am interested in getting into F T/R in the future, and I have noticed that there seems to be little variation in stocks. Can anyone tell me why? What would be the disadvantage in using an AICS stock or similar? Thanks.

    .308 200-300 yards (Bullet)

    Yeah. For some reason, 168 seems to be the most accurate for me in the short distances. I haven't tried the AMAX though. The 168 SMK regularly shoots 1/4 moa or under from my 5R (3-5 rounds).

    .308 200-300 yards (Bullet)

    I know that there are many things to consider regarding bullet selection when it comes to 1000 yard shooting out of a .308. I'm just curious if there's any special considerations to be made about shorter range shooting. I've typically just used 168/175 SMKs.

    Looking for friendly advice on a bolt gun

    I also get great accuracy from my 5R. 1/3 MOA with FGMM 175 gr.

    Best use of money for training

    Yep, and most of the components are higher quality than comes in the kit... with several extras as well.

    All the kits I looked at were quite a bit more expensive.

    Yeah, I know nothing will beat real trigger time on the intended rifle. I only included the air rifle because I was on my college's air rifle team and I would say that it improved my marksmanship abilities dramatically. When millimeters start to matter... everything must be done perfect.

    I was including calipers. Would you mind linking some good gauges?
