    6mm ARC neck expander die

    I have been using a full length expanding die with various mandrels for everything from 6.5 Creedmoor to .300 PRC, but the die is too long for the ARC. Does anyone make a shorter one that I can use my mandrels with?

    long range accuracy potential question

    You are right about the .8 gap. It was not an intentional load workup, more of a whim just to see if the 178's showed signs of instability. I will do a real OCW for the 178 AMAX before I decide to stick with anything. However, the fact that the 43.2g Varget charge just happened to exactly...

    long range accuracy potential question

    I did load ten at 44.0 and the group blew up to 1 1/4"and the impact moved 1" right. Looked to me like I had a node at 43.2 and left it with the 44.0 charge weight. I will chronograph the 43.2 just to see what its really doing. I just got one of the Magnetospeed V2's and used it with he 175...

    long range accuracy potential question

    Thanks for the input. I did suspect that all of the BS about the 1:12 might not be 100% true. I am in the process of developing loads for the 700 -26" and my new 20" sps. I did notice on the Hornady b ox for the 178 AMAXs that it specificaly states that they are for a 1:10 twist. I put...

    long range accuracy potential question

    I am currently shooting a Remington 700 ADL Varmint Special in .308 with a 1 in 12" twist 26" barrel. I shot the group shown below with a handload that is a 178 gr. Hornady AMAX over 43.2 gr.s of Varget. This group is a near duplicate of the same performance with FGMM 175's. I have...

    To Break-in or Not Break-in (barrel)

    To break in or not to break in is definitely a matter of personal preference. I looked at similar information and posts as those in this thread and decided not to perform a break-in procedure on my brand new Remington 700 ADL Varmint in .308 (I won't mention it, but most of you know where it...

    LR-308 issues

    My Recon failed me as well. Turns out the gas block slipped out of position. Had it repaired and sold it. Shame. It was super accurate, but unreliable.

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    Re: 223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition I did load some of the 69's with 23.5 Varget for load development. However, I must have been asleep at the wheel because they were too long to feed from magazines. I had to pull them and start over, which I have not yet done. I must try the...

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    Re: 223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition I've been using 25.7 grains of Benchmark driving 52 gr. BTHP match bullets. It shoots consistent 1 MOA in my 20" Bushmaster and just slightly more in my 16" Black Rain Ordinance Fallout 15. I'm about to start working up loads for 69 gr. BTHP...

    .308 147 FMJBT

    I am working up a load for the .308 Winchester 147 gr. FMJBT. Using OCW with Varget, I'm getting some really wierd variations in nodes. I really want to emulate the current military load. This is going to be my bulk plinking and fun round, so its not real critical. I just want to see if...
