    Can anyone estimate my fps for this load?

    I have a TRG 42 in 338 Lapua, so a 27" barrel. The load that seems nicely accurate (best 3-shot group at 100 yards = less than 1/4") is: Case: Lapua Primer: Federal 215 Large Rifle Bullet: Sierra 300g Matchking Powder: 87 grains of Hodgdon Retumbo Anyone out there experienced enough to...

    Findings on max COAL for my TRG 42 338 Lapua

    I thought I'd post this information, as it might be helpful to to other TRG owners. Most owners appear to have found that you can't get anywhere near jamming into the lands when loading for the TRG 42 in 338 Lapua, before running into magazine COAL restrictions. But no one has published here...

    Dillon Automatic Primer Filler

    Re: Dillon Automatic Primer Filler I've had 2 at a time in the past. They do save a lot of time if you are production loading and don't need the precision of a hand primer like the Sinclair one. However, they did jam up a LOT, so the time saving gets reduced accordingly. If I were going for...

    Same Setup, different ogive measurement. Need Help

    Re: Same Setup, different ogive measurement. Need Help It is possible for the threaded micrometer to come entirely "out" internally, if you accidentally adjusted it out too far. This would give you the symptoms you are experiencing, as the threaded rod moves around or gets jammed at the...

    RCBS Charge Master and Varget

    Re: RCBS Charge Master and Varget My Chargemaster seems to do a great job dispensing 41.0 grains of Varget each and every time. I DO make sure: - No cell phone or other electronic or electrical device anywhere close by - No air blowing on it from the air conditioning outlet - No motion or...

    Rifle Scopes Wil this elev fix work as well as I think?

    I use the same Nightforce 12-42 x 56 Benchrest scope on both my TRG 42 bolt rifle in 338 Lapua and my LMT MWSE semi auto 308. I do this by having the scope mounted via Nightforce Lightweight rings onto a Larue quick disconnect Pictanny spacer. This has worked well up to now. The Larue QD spacer...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Re: LMT .308 MWS My SOPMOD factorys tock also has no discernible sloppiness. By the way, I just added the Battleline SAPR adjustable cheekpiece / butted to my SOPMOD. I have not fired it yet that way, but really like the extra ergonomic adjustments it adds. There is a separate thread on the...

    Sizing brass without expanderball?

    Re: Sizing brass without expanderball? Agree with the Redding die recommendation, but I have been myself told that one improvement over even that is to use a mandrel in the Redding die instead of an expander ball. Sinclair has them for the Redding dies. The mandrel is a better shape for...

    Effects of rain on shooting?

    Re: Effects of rain on shooting? I should have emohasized: The purpose fo thsi session is not to gain shooting experience, but rather to test alternative loads I am working on. If it was a regular "shoot for more experience" session, I wouldn't even be asking. I'd go, because I do need the...

    Effects of rain on shooting?

    I have never yet had to shoot in the rain. Tomorrow, I have time to go to the range, and the temperature will be acceptable (50 to 59 degrees)but the forecast is "90%" for rain for the entire day. The shooting range has well-covered shooting positions, so as long as the wind is not severe, I...

    Reloading in a garage

    Re: Reloading in a garage Another thing to consider is insulating the garage walls and ceiling. That is a one day project, and cheap (mostly your labor). Then, buy one of those DeLonghi brand "oil filled" heat register heaters at Lowes. Buy one with the digital thermostat that allows...

    Reloading in a garage

    Re: Reloading in a garage I'd make sure I COVER everything with a BREATHABLE cover sheet (e.g. cotton) when not actually reloading, as a garage gets VERY dusty very quickly, because of the number of times the big door gets opened, and all the grit that a car brings in, especially when it has...
