    Rifle Scopes Vortex Gen 2 4.5-27x56; Question for current and past users

    I was happy to get the opportunity to pick up a previously loved Gen 2 Razor for a great price. I would have had a real hard time paying full boat but with someone else taking the initial hit and having to have the newest and greatest, it created a great situation for me. Yes, its heavy. My...

    Seating Dies

    I do have a comparator but measure OAL to make sure they fit in my AI mags. I know the bullets are all perfectly uniform but I have found that if I measure OAL I do OK. I will break out the comparator and see whats what however. Thank you.

    Seating Dies

    Pardon my lack of experience driven ignorance but I gotta know how you guys switch from one bullet to another (for the same gun), and change seating depths so frequently when reloading? What I mean is, for me, getting the right COAL is one of the most trying parts and when I get it, the last...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    2.282" must be a typo. I appreciate the different loads for different powders but I hope to find one that works better then I can shoot and stick to it. If less than 43gr of Varget can get me out to 1k, then I will be a happy camper. I have no idea what the MV with 42.3gr would be but its got...

    Update: So I mailed my problem off to Vortex on Monday. That afternoon I received an IM on this site from Dave at Vortex as a result of my original post. He was apologetic and wanted to connect me to Lynette, the Customer Service Manager to make sure my issues were resolved quickly and...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    Ok so heres my update. Using Varget only I loaded 5 rounds of each charge weight starting with 42.0 and increasing .2gr up to and including 43.8gr. FC 2x fired brass with standard prep, CCI 200 primers and 175gr SMK, 2.85" COAL was used for all. 50 rounds total. It looks like backing off to...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    I was using RP brass. I have some quality brass such as Prime, Laupua and Hornady Match but I generally use whatever I have in quantity and priced right. I know certain brass is better than others but I do FL resize, chamfer, deburr, cut to length, etc. I was told brass was fairly far down on...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    thanks for the input. I am going to back off 2 gr and build up with the varget to see what happens. The 4064 looks good in the 42.2-42.4 range so I will explore that a bit more. my other 308 prefers 43.0gr of 4064 so I started a bit lower than that and worked up. the varget starting point was an...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    I loaded them all to a COAL of 2.85". I am going to be limited by mag length I would guess but they can go a touch longer then where I started. Are you suggesting I try having them touching the lands? I am a novice handloader so pls keep that in mind with what are bound to be rookie questions...

    New .308 AI load development **Getting There, Updated**

    I hit the range this morning to start load development of my new AIAT. It has a 17" Bartlein 10 twist barrel. I want to use 175gr SMK because they should do all I need out to 1k and seem to be the sweet spot between performance, cost, and availability especially since a ton of guys are dumping...

    AIAT Bartlein 10 Twist .308 175gr & 185gr

    AIAT Bartlein 10 Twist .308 175gr & 185gr

    I use 43.0gr 4064 with 168smk 2.89" coal for my 11 twist. This 10 twist wasn't digging it. Could be thge lighter projo or the long length. Do the Bartlein barrels usuaslly have a shorter throat? It was chambered by MHSA.
