    F T/R Competition Need a starting load for 215 hybrid and N550 in a 308

    H4350! Works with 308 and 230's really well for me and short FB surprisingly. 215's and that long FB, good mv and no temp issues

    Best Way/Tool To Determine Seating Depth, COAL, OAL?

    I use a sized piece of brass with two slits (dremel) cut down the neck and shoulder. By hand seat a bullet longer than you think your throat is and chamber it, remove and measure. Make sure the bullet is held in the case fairly snug as it will get pulled back out some and skew your readings. Do...

    F T/R Competition Another HUGE thanks to Jeff Rorer

    About a month ago Jeff invited me down to shoot 1,000yds with him. Quite intimidating to say the least; like playing a few games of HORSE with a NBA All-Star. Gobs of fun and learned a lot, including that my wind reading abilities are still horrible. Sorry, no pics but basically my groups...

    Mine is dead nuts .001". The only time it varies (measuring to Ogive) is when my neck tension varies. I hard seating bullet will always be a couple thou off from a normal seat.

    Range Report Ladder test, just curious what others would pick

    i never liked ladder testing, dont flame but it never gave me much info or made sense to me when i tried, other than upper pressure limit at that OAL. my load testing groups go from extreme vertical to nice little groups that are almost easy to shoot or forgiving if that makes sense. When doing...

    Case Annealing Question

    i found after 3-4 cycles on my brass, my groups/ES would suffer significantly. annealing fixed that as well as made resizing and seating much more consistent. i anneal every time now just to keep things the same. any case life i get is a bonus. i'm not shooting to see how many times i can reuse...

    I'm still a sudo-newb but have a few matches under my belt and 1,000yd range trips thanks to Jeff Rorer. I also have the same gun, although am using a 1:10 barrel versus the 1:12 you have (assuming it's factory). I've had A LOT of help from so many people on here and I ended up figuring out...
