    Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr

    Re: Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr Thought I would post an update... I tried loading some of the 178gr Amax bullets. Fist thing I noticed is that it seems I have to seat them much deeper to get to the same ogive length as the Sierra 175gr. I dropped the charge some just to...

    Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr

    Re: Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr My favorite brass so far has been Lapua. I also recently got a ton of Fed brass from my brother who was buying cheap WalMart stuff. Processed that and it worked really well for the first reload. I will see how long it lasts but free brass...

    Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr

    Re: Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr Thanks alot guys! You have no idea how "depressed" I was with the thought that I should start from scratch... I may just drop a 0.5gr as mentioned above and make a few variations to compare, but to not have to start over is a really good...

    Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr

    Re: Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr So Sandwarrior mentioned it..Accuracy nodes. I wonder if anyone has done an OCW side to side between the Amax and Sierra, to see if there are different nodes of accuracy?

    Using Hornady 178gr. Amax in place of Sierra 175gr

    This may be stupid question but figured I would ask. I have done a full load development with Varget and Sierra 175gr. HPBT bullets. I settled on what everybody already said was a great load: 44gr of Varget. I also did OAL testing and settled with 2.800-2.810, as this seemed the most accurate in...

    Remington 700 .308 Varmit with an OAL of 2.87"

    Re: Remington 700 Varmit with an OAL of 2.87" I was attempting to find depth to the lands on my Rem 700 .308. I don't have the numbers with me but it was exceedingly long! Found out after researching it on the forum that you will most likely not be able to load anywhere close to the lands...

    Re: Dillon Case Trimmer Sounds like you are happy with it! Few questions for you as I just trimmed a few hundred with the Possum Hollow set up. It works but I sure would like something better...just not as extreme as the Giraud!! -Did you have much length variation once it was set up? -Did...

    New Remington AAC in a BC What do you think?

    Re: New Remington AAC in a BC What do you think? Looks good! Any upgrade to the stock is a bonus! My AAC still sits in the factory Hogue and it is horrible. I can alter the free float with very light pressure, even sitting on sand bags. However, just got back from the range shooting mine for...

    Gunsmithing Question about muzzle brake...

    Re: Question about muzzle brake... Thanks for the help! I just didn't know if there was a special vice that is needed to secure the action or barrel. Sounds like its not needed and thats what I needed to know!

    Gunsmithing Question about muzzle brake...

    This is definitely a beginner question but I need to know and can't seem to find anything searching.... Just purchased a Rem. 700 AAC-SD in .308. My plan is to install a AAC muzzle brake to eventually serve as a quick release mount for an AAC suppressor. How do you secure a bolt action rifle to...
