    308 155 Amax, anyone loading them?

    I wanted to know if anyone was getting good results from the 155's. At 100yards, and out to a 1k. I have been shooting the 168 Amax with good results, but they are hard to find and i am looking for extra speed for longer range, or should I just use the Lapua 155's. The barrel is 1 in 12 twist...

    Loading solids in 338

    Alright I am after a safety check. I plan on loading some solids in my 338 LM. I know that with solids you can basically get more with less, so to speak. So if I take load data for a bullet of similar weight and conventional construct then reduce the load by 10% will I be safe or am I off base?

    Loading for an auto loader

    I have been loading .308 for bolt guns for a couple of years now. I have recently purchased a DPMS so I obviously want to load for it also. I have been using a standard RCBS die set this whole time, but I am wondering if I need to use a factory crimp for the DPMS. Any other differences in the...

    Getting ready to start loading 223 seriously.

    I have loaded a bit a of 223/556 for ARs. But never really loaded for LR precision. I was fortunate enough to order one of the new Rem 700 5R Mil Spec and a Premier 3-15 to sit on it. So, I am getting ready to start loading for LR in 223. The components I have on hand are Varget, 4-5 boxes of...

    Loading for the 155 Scenar?

    Is there an optimum velocity window for this bullet? I have read where some people claim that the best performance is found by getting to certain minimum level of velocity? I just wanted to check before I begin working up a load. Thanks!

    An update to my hand loading method

    I've been loading sub-moa ammo on a Dillon 550 for a long time and I continue to fine tune the method. This update enhances the UC operation with a larger batch size and a change with the cleaner. See previous method here. Please note, I concede I do a lot more than what is necessary for the...

    Under Loading?

    Would loading under a published minimum powder charge cause any ill effects?

    Gunsmithing savage loading help

    I think the feed lips on my short action may be off. Its chambered in .243 and I usually am single round loading. If I just drop a round in it will not feed and the tip usually hits the barrel shoulder and does not enter the chamber. If I press the round down to snap into the feed lips as the...

    22-284 project, loading data

    My dad and I were kicking around some ideas for a very hot wildcat and he ran across a reamer on ebay for a 22-284. I picked it up on the chance that it's a viable project and we were looking at some forums that had loading info on it. The experience that seemed to be out there was gleaned...

    Advice on loading VLD's for the first time

    I just got in some "sample" bullets from JLK "Swampworks" and I've never loaded a VLD before. Right now they're going in a 30-06 My current pet load is topped with a 178 Amax and I seat them to contact the rifling upon bolt closure. I got some of the 175 VLD and 180 VLD with Long Boat Tail...

    Hand Loading Method Improvements with UC and Annea

    I continue to fine tune my hand loading method. Please note, I concede I do a lot more than what is necessary for the tactical shooter. I really consider my hand loading and load development a separate endeavor that is apart from my tactical shooting interests, kinda like an R&D shop feeding...
