    first time issue

    I just skimmed over the other responses but, given that this is LC (presumably .MIL) brass, is your die a "small base die." I have found these to be necessary in the past with certain weapons and brass of unknown origin.

    I ordered on the last day. Still waiting. The rifle its going on is coming back from the smith in the next 10 days, so hopefully the timing will work out well.

    Want to duplicated FGMM 175 SMK's

    As noted above, factory specs call for 4064 or RL15. As what I would consider a better alternative, however, I would suggest 42.3 8208. Note that this is a max load and should be worked up to. .5-.8 MOA in my KAC SR25 (which was designed to shoot 118lr).

    Alliant Reloder Powder just came into Powder Valley

    Everything good but AR Comp 8lb currently in stock. Very tempted to try some 2000-mr.

    REQUEST: Load data for 308, subsonic, 220 Sierra SMK, Titegroup Powder

    All, While waiting on my forms to clear, it looks like I'm going to have the opportunity to shoot some cans (including mine) with a C3 dealer. Its probably going to be to try to get me to pick up another can, but that's fine as I am looking at a few (apparently, I've been bitten by the stamp...

    Rifle Scopes Acog yes or no?

    I use a TA11 on one of my rigs. It uses the 308 reticle, which matches well with 77 grainers out of a 16" barrel.

    BUSHNELL FUSION 1600 LRF 10X42 binos @ $699.

    Does anyone have any points of comparison between these and the Leica CRF1600. I am really torn between wanting something that can do double duty with observation like the binos, and an ultra compact unit like the Leica. I honestly don't know which would be more useful for me personally, and...

    .308 168gr and 175gr with RE-17??

    RE17 is a little slow for the 168 and the 175s in 308. With the 175's, I have seen accuracy with 47gr. Max fill is about 50.5 in commercial brass, and you shouldn't get anything in the way of overpressure.

    M118 load

    Without seeing a picture, I think this is a correct ID of the bullet in question.

    M118 load

    I load these with the same charge as my 175 SMK's. My KAC MK11's favorite load is 42.3gr of 8208 XBR loaded to mag length (2.81). This load also yields acceptable results in my other rifles, but this is basically the load the KAC was designed to shoot.

    Rifle Scopes best 400 scope for. 308

    I would suggest a Primary Arms 4-14 FFP scope. Another good alternative would be the SFP Nikon Buckmaster MilDot

    Rifle Scopes I need to narrow down my list and find the best scope for "me"

    I think this is a good choice. I might start with the Weaver 3-15 FFP for a cheaper option as well.

    Rifle Scopes scope for deer < than 500 yds

    Under 500, I think the Midway Vortex 5-15 would be a good option for you. I would also recommend the Primary Arms 4-14 FFP scope, but I would want to get something with a lifetime warranty if possible due to the potential for blast damage from the 338.

    Rifle Scopes Variable power mil/mil ffp for a rimfire

    I have the primary arms 4-14x44 FFP. It is MIL/MIL, and I've been using it until my 1-6 from the SWFA sale comes in. Its a good scope for the money. I like it a lot, and it's half your budget.

    Russian LR primers

    There are now Tula 7.62 primers. I got some for $90/5k with free shipping about 8 months ago at grafs and they work well. I am on my phone so I can't get a picture up.

    $ 4,000.00 Want a semi auto .308 which platform

    I have an LMT, an LWRC and a KAC. All of them were under $4k with their optics. I would probably pick the LMT if I could only have one. You can probably get one for under $3000 if you are willing to wait and look (I only paid $2050 back in September), and then put a something like an HDMR or, if...
