    .300 Winchester Magnum - "light" magnum loads?

    I experimented with this years ago, wanting a 150 grain bullet @ 30/06 velocities. I tried Winchester 760 ball powder at reduced charges and got hang fires. I switched to IMR 4895 at reduced charges and found a perfect, accurate, milder 150 grain load. Ball powders can get weird if reduced.

    Weird question regarding FL sizing

    I also use Imperial wax. I posted the Synthetic oil use for the O/P for just a test so he wouldn't have to run around and try to find a tin of Imperial or some other lube marketed for reloading. He might have some synthetic motor oil on hand at home, wouldn't cost him anything.

    Weird question regarding FL sizing

    A very simple experiment would be to take a few fired cases and use some Synthetic Motor Oil as a lubricant. Put a thin layer of the oil your finger and apply it onto the case. Don't use too much or you will get shoulder dents. Run the cases through and check shoulder length. That might tell you...

    I think it is time the Secret Service give Trump lessons on learning to "Serpentine".

    Surplus WC852-

    I've use a bit of WC 852. The issue with it is that it had varied quite a bit in burning speed, depending on the lot. Jeff Bartlett sold a bunch of it on his website. There were 3 burning speeds. Fast lots were close to H-335, Medium lot (which is what I have) is close to H-380 and slow lots...

    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    If your goal is to boost velocity in a 308 with the 168 - 175 bullet weights, Alliant 2000 MR will boost velocities about 100 FPS above most other powders without pressure concerns . I get 2750 FPS with a 175 bullet with 46.5 grs. of 2000 MR out of a 24" Hart barrel. the only downside is 2000...

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    The 168 SMK is not a hunting bullet and it will not make it to 1000 yards, defeating both purposes in your original post. That aside, nothing wrong in trying them to see if you can get better groups out of that barrel. The new Sierra 169 Match King has a BC of .527 and is a better bullet to...

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    O/P said the 178 ELDX didn't shoot worth a shit ( 1.4"-2.6") with Varget in his testing. It would have been fine as you stated, but it didn't shoot. Varget shoots well in both of my Rifles with a variety of bullets. That's why I suggested trying another hunting bullet that is a little lighter.

    Hornady or RCBS micrometer bullet seating tool?

    Since we're talking comparator sets, I have used the Hornady set way back when they were Stoney Point. The set work great. Since then, a new product came out similar the the Hornady set called the Derraco set made down under. It comes with the four most common bump inserts, plus 14 bullet...

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    For a hunting bullet in that 20"barrel, I would try the new sierra 165 Tipped Game King. It has a good BC and should work for a 300-400 yard hunting bullet. They are difficult to find right now in the 100 rd. boxes, but the 500 rd. boxes are available. Your issue is the 20" barrel for getting...

    Hornady or RCBS micrometer bullet seating tool?

    ^^^ Yes.^^^ And any brand of standard shell holder will work in your press (RCBS, Hornady, Lyman,Lee etc.). How are measuring your shoulder bump? Do you know how to measure shoulder bump?

    .308 Brass Resizing: Lee Collet Die vs. SAC Bushings - Which is Best for Neck Sizing?

    nominal but fat chamber reloading

    I rarely neck only size, but I learned a long time ago not to N/O size more than 3-4 X and then do a proper F/L sizing. Beating on your bolt handle to get it open with a 2X4 will educate you.

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    I was also in the 4th grade in Pacifica, Ca. when JFK was shot. I remember the School Principal coming into the classroom and telling the Teacher, who told us. There was crying in the classroom. November 22nd happened to be my Mother's Birthday.

    Redding competition shell holders

    O/P, see post #11 in this thread for an explanation on how the Redding competition shell holders work. Many people who don't actually use them know how they actually work. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/question-on-redding-competition-shell-holders.7093144/#post-11573322

    Forster FL sizing die, brass wouldn't go in

    I would even try some synthetic motor oil on a few cases to try to season the die. On small batches of cases (10-20), I use synthetic motor / gear oil. Works like a champ. You just have to be careful not to use too much, otherwise, you will get case shoulder dents. I would try this before...
