    How much change in accuracy from Lee dies to Match grade dies?

    Range Report 230 Bergers in 10 twist 26 inch 308

    The 208 amaxs are significantly longer base to ogive which means much less case capacity for me before land city Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Inconsistent seating with my new Forster Ultra Micro Die.

    Happens to me with high NT or compressed loads. My particular cause is due to a few thou of slop between die and press joints Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Range Report 230 Bergers in 10 twist 26 inch 308

    30" here so not what you wanted but relative I guess. 2490 with varget, 2515-2530 wish with H4350 and about the same with imr 4007ssc. With a longer throat, I'd use them exclusively. Mine are ~3.050" oal. Why shoot them? Because it's over a full moa less wind @ 1k than my 2800fps 185 berger...

    Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR

    My varget loads are spot on hot or cold, pp gives very nice speed, ~100-150+ varget but temp moves it around, .7-.8fps/deg Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Currently can't find Varget or RL15...best 308 powder for Illinois 120 degree temp changes

    Just looking at charge weights vs MV of results I've seen on here. I don't know for sure, maybe someone who has used it with heavy bullets and long barrels will post up. I have seen some excellent ES/SD's on here with that powder Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Currently can't find Varget or RL15...best 308 powder for Illinois 120 degree temp changes

    I don't know about others but it doesn't interest me because it's faster burning than varget. so the heavy bullet folks will do better with varget and above. I'll say it again, a powder that's temperature stable, high density and about 75% of the way to h4350 from varget would sell like...

    Need a little bit of direction with the 168 Berger Hybrid .30

    My loads are hot so work up but in win brass and with br2's, 47.5gn of varget hammers, .012" jump, 2.265" base to ogive with hornady comparator. 2950fps. PP I think I had a good node around 50.5gn, ~3050fps. Fwiw my lapua loads are typically 1gn less than win, with the 168's, 46.5 was way too...

    You need to keep a look out online, varget is out there. While I have smoking loads with pp2000mr, it is temp sensitive. I've got my staple load I shoot with varget every time I do load develop.... Whether it's 9F or 99F, the load shoots 2800-2810fps. Anything IMR/PP whatever I have tried...

    Question about head positioning while shooting prone

    Kraig, Again thank you for the picture but that shooter is not straight behind the rifle. The right and left shoulder seem to line up with the right and left elbow...which is definitely at a generous angle. If I lie down straight behind the rifle, with my head straight and pulling rifle to...

    Question about head positioning while shooting prone

    Thanks for the pics Kraig, but I guess I should have been more specific....prone with bipod and rear bag, exactly straight behind gun. How are you supposed to bring rifle to head without moving chin up or rotating head. I find it physically impossible. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Question about head positioning while shooting prone

    Can anyone post a picture of someone who is "straight behind the rifle" and brought the rifle to the head versus the other way around? Seriously, my head is not over my shoulder pocket so I am finding it impossible to do the above Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Looking at getting a new scale...maybe digital?

    I second Aimsmall, thanks to his post I jumped on a discounted A & D Much better than strain gauge style scales. I have tried a tuned ohaus, gempro and charge master...I now dump a little low with a Lee PPM and trickle up with Omega trickler. It's not a Prometheus but it's as fast an accurate as...

    Powder weight variance

    Edit, better wording would be having one variable versus two...one would be better Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Powder weight variance

    When tolerances are stacked, reducing one of them does help. My point was I have taken fired and unfired but fl sized cases, win for example, one weighing 157gn, the other weighed 153gn. Water capacity was identical. MV was as well, within 2fps anyways. The weight difference came from the outer...

    No need to be embarrassed, those look great!! I have been wanting to make some, but want to fill with sand as weight is not an issue. Thanks for the pics Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Varget: Actual temp sensitivity?

    Lol, oops, no not dead people although the China made versions may contain dead people. Typing on my cell phone, I blame autocorrect and initial bad spelling Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Powder weight variance

    I weigh to the hundredth, because I can control that, so I do. 3" of vertical in addition to what I add in shooting is a big deal when shooting ftr. I have done bunches of case weighing, and measuring water capacity. I have not found any solid correlation. Brass of different weights, once fully...
