    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    Also, I'm curious to know what the price per round of .308 you guys are getting by handloading. I figured around $.7 or so assuming 5 uses per case. This is with Varget/Re-15, CCI primers, Winchester brass, and 175 gr. SMK. I also calculated that I only need to shoot about 400 rounds of...

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    So right now all the components together cost $280. A Rock Chucker press would put me at almost $400. Do I need to bother with a head-space gauge?

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    Thanks for all the responses! Can you please tell me why I couldn't use the hand press? I did swap the scale for a redding balance and I added a hand primer and digital calipers. Insight3b, could you explain how exactly I can get the full set up for under $150 with the Lee Classic Loader 308...

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    Hello everyone. I am putting together a wish list for reloading equipment. I anticipate it being a few months before I will actually buy everything, but I would like some input on what I have put together so far. I could probably go $100-150 more on budget if needed. I have absolutely no...

    Thanks for the reply. Sounds like 1/2" would be a safer bet. I think he is almost forced to use hunting rounds a lot due to availability so...

    Advice on steel targets

    Alright so I'm wanting to buy a steel target for 300+ yard shooting. I want it to be 10" or bigger and AR500, but I have no idea what thickness I will need. I am shooting a .308 which I would think would be fine with a 3/8" plate, but my friend shoots a .338-378 weatherby (think .338 LM + a...

    custom rifle accuracy vs standard factory vs high end factory

    Remington 5R 20" entirely stock. These groups are typical of what it will do. These were also the very first two groups I ever shot out of it.

    The trigger pull

    Alright, so I just had a pretty successful range day today and I was wondering how everyone carries out the trigger pull. Before I got into shooting I would pull the trigger too hard, then I learned to squeeze more gently, but I still don't have a perfect mental image of what exactly a "trigger...

    Range Report New Gun

    Re: Range Report New Gun I don't think I'll get a suppressor any time soon. A karsten and possibly a trigger will likely be my only purchases until my barrel is gone.

    Range Report New Gun

    Re: Range Report New Gun Also, the scope is out of this world. The nicest scope I have owned before this is a VX-III 3.5-10X50 which has decent glass, but the clarity on the SWFA is mind blowing. Looking forward to taking it out past 500.
