    308 Win precision velocity help.

    Here in my country, Brazil, our competition are rare and made in a short shooting ranges, most of then are 100m and some 300m. My 308 rifle even I being newbie is a .5, .4 MOA in every charge I try. I use 44.2 of Varget with 168 gn SMK bullets, Lapua Brass, BR2 primers and got 2.710 FPS on my...

    ELR High Magnification Scopes .

    I have red some articles about the KO2M and the max scope magnification in the competition was 35X. The bench rest shooters like to use about 40 to 60X. Since the KO2M targets are way much more far than BR competitions why they do not use big magnifications as the BR?

    To lube or not to lube....when seating bullets

    I am a little confuse here. If I FL my brass with a 0.002 bushing neck tension die and run the mandrel after, it will make the brass diameter increase, so my neck tension won't be 0.002 anymore, right?

    Different accuracy with different brass.

    I am intrigued with it too. When I use my Giraud trimer in my Lapua Brass its chamfer more in one side than another. So i assume the brass neck is not strait as it should be. I use the giraud in one virgin brass to check if my ball expander was the guilt, but the results were the same. Even...

    A lot Hodgdon popping out these days, but not a single grain of Retumbo... I know, Retumbo is made by a 3d party, but it is taking too long.

    Giraud Power Trimmer vs Henderson Precision Powered Trimmer

    I have the Giraud and a dedicated Trim it 2 to my 338LM. The micrometer on the Trim it 2 make its easier. I would replace my Giraud for another trim it 2 in a blink of the eye. The only problem I had on the Trim it 2 is the blade set screw who got dusted too easy but they readily sent me a...

    Is this overpressure sign?

    When I was setting my Trim It 2, I had trimmed 10 cases with 2.708 and them I adjust to 2.712 lenght. Is this diference insignificant? The cases had 2.713-2.714 right out the box.

    Is this overpressure sign?

    I started with the 308Win 3 months ago and found a good spot and reliability on the process so i started the 338LM load. I live in a small town in Brazil and nobody close to me have a 338LM or is good on rifle reload so this forum and the internet are everything I have. Thank you!
