    Gunsmithing Gunsmith to re-barrel a POF 308 for sub MOA?

    I bet G.A.P. can do it. Their GAP 10 is based off the POF.

    Small groups but large SD

    Yea it is possible both ways. Good groups, bad sd, or bad groups low sd. I usually look for a good sd, then run seat depth test to bring the group in. Never tried the other way around. There should be sweet spots in your powder charge that has good sd. If the two fall together you nailed it. If...

    Barrel may be braking in, picking up some speed still.

    28 Nosler barrel 'sped up'

    Yep, just played the same game with a 300wm. Back down your charge to run the same velocity as before. I bet you will be back in your sweet spot. Make sure your increase in pressure is not due to a carbon ring build up.

    OAL variations....!?!?

    I use just a very light amount of sizing wax on my finger. Rub it on the bullet, trying not to get any on the boat tail so it does not contact the powder in the case. If you seat 5 dry, then seat 5 with lube, without touching the settings on the die. You will find that the 5 with lube are more...

    OAL variations....!?!?

    Man, I have been fighting this fight for a while now. Here is what I have found so far. 1. Annealing makes a difference. 2. Lube the bullet before seating. 3. Make sure the bullet fits in the seating. stem with no rocking. 4. Neck tension makes a difference. I think it makes a difference...

    6.5 creedmore, Reloader 26, Lapua brass, and 147ELDs. Formula for best accuracy please????

    Dudes running RL26 are crazy speed freaks! I wouldn't use their data. Work up your own. Every rifle is different.

    Heavweight 7mm-08 bullets?

    6.9 mils! That's hard to beat with out going magnum. 6mm might he flatter, but that 7mm SMACKS steel. I don't know why the the non magnum 7mms don't take off. Only down fall I can think of is a little more recoil. But it is far from uncontrollable. My 7mm Creedmoor runs similar #s.

    Heavweight 7mm-08 bullets?

    The 168s have less bearing surface. You will be able to push 168s actually faster.

    Scott Satterlee ‘OCW’ Question

    I really want this method to work for me because it makes alot of sense. How ever I have not had as good of results. Probably some thing I am doing wrong. Good it worked for you though. I have not given up, and the test gives me some valuable info on velocity ranges and max pressure with...

    Scott Satterlee ‘OCW’ Question

    Keep us informed please. I am curious if ES/SD holds up after you change seating depth. I have been playing with this method as well. Very curious as to your results as to compare notes.

    Heavweight 7mm-08 bullets?

    I run a 7mm Creedmoor, but should be very comparable. The 160 class bullets do VERY well. Try some 8208xbr. I hesitated because I thought it was to fast of a powder. But I am sure glad I tried it.

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    I don't know if I would pay the price. I received as a gift for helping a friend. But I will say it is very very good! And at 120 proof it will knock your socks off.
