    Firing 308 win with only a primer

    Snake your barrel afterwards, firing primers only leaves all the ash from the primer in your barrel.

    Poll - Charge Weight for 140gr 6.5 Creedmoor w/ H4350

    One important factor 90%+ do not mention in these types of threads is brass manufacturer. You put in the high node load for Hornady brass into Peterson brass and you are going to have issues.

    Bergara HMR opinions

    My HMR is insanely accurate for a sub $1000 production rifle. It is a bit heavy, but you get a very rigid, accurate, and secure setup. Seems to be of much higher quality, features, and feel than my Rem 700 5r Gen 2 in the same price range.

    [EDIT] CLOSED [was HELP NEEDED]: project to calculate BC using Labradar track data

    This is why I said “sort of in line” just to illustrate that BC’s drop as velocity decreases. My last sentence assumes you put the factory “alleged” BC into the program. Once you enter your measured MV and atmospheric conditions, your waterline at distance would assist you in “calibrating” the...

    I used the hornady lnl bushing system as well. If you tighten the lock ring when it is in contact with the bushing, the same thing happens. Not a problem if you never move your die, but I have various makers of brass of the same caliber, so I need to change often. If you don’t anneal and don’t...

    Ok, I have had this problem in the past. Do not tighten your lock ring when it is all the way down in position touching the press. Once you find where you want the die, back of the die and the lock ring simultaneously a hair off the press, tighten your lock ring set screw, and screw back down to...
