    7mm SAW

    I’m guessing Varget is too fast for the 180s? I have good luck with it and the 166s.

    ZCO mount or Spuhr or Geissele mount for ZCO527?

    I use the ZCO mount on my 527 and have had no issues at all. I also recently bought the 419 rings for my 22. I don’t know if they’re better but damn these things are nice. Will be buying more of them.

    Groups odd

    The easiest thing to eliminate is the scope if you have another one. Check all mounts while doing so. If you don’t pick the rifle up between groups does it still do this? Something is slipping when the rifle is moved and reseating after the first shots recoil.

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    I believe the 168 A-Max is still available. I found my .308 liked it better than the 178s. It would shoot the 178s but with balls out flat primer load. I think I would have done better changing powder for the 178s, if you’re going to try 168s stay with Varget.

    Newbie trying to find a good load and need some help.

    I think he stated it shoots .75 with factory 143 eldx. If that’s the case he should run that again now to confirm it’s not a rifle or scope issue. That would quickly eliminate that.

    Newbie trying to find a good load and need some help.

    If you’re going from 41.1 to 41.2 and getting that big of a jump in groups it’s not your powder charge. Something else is wrong. That’s 1.75” to 4” then back down to 1.5” for 41.3. Some peoples scales aren’t even that tight and shoot good groups.

    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    They should, or explain what we’re doing wrong. I don’t see how once you’ve made contact with the shell holder it could be any different from press to press. Contact is contact. Paging 419

    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    In my simple mind, shell holder to die contact should be the same on any press. Now, my 419 press with one of my SAC dies does not bump the shoulder with all the shims in and the fattest shell holder spacer from 419. I’m considering taking a few thousandths off the die. The rounds still...

    Help on first build- Origin, TL3, Kelbly, CDG, or Solus?

    I for one prefer the Diamond over the Special even if you’re running both at #1. My thinking is you’re using the Special at the limit of its range while the Diamond has plenty of adjustments either way. That thinking is solely based of my knowledge of equipment in an industrial setting. You...

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    I’ve made more than one RH stock into a LH stock with a dremel tool and JB Weld. Throw some Krylon at it and nobody would ever know.

    Preference for basic die sets - RCBS, Forster, Hornady or other?

    Lee get a bad rap and I’m sure there’s a reason but I’ve never had a minute’s trouble with them. Same with Hornady. I can’t say as much about RCBS. What I actually use now is Redding, Forster, and SAC.

    I had much better luck using 35 Whelen and downsizing. Lube inside the case neck good and you won’t have a problem either way. I always wondered if buying a mandrel and tapering down then end to the desired size would make easier expanding on wildcats.
