    Targets for load development

    I know, I know, there's a million choices already. But I wasn't 100% happy with anything I've found yet. I had the time this morning, so I drew one up. I designed the target the way I want it, with the aiming point being the tippy top of the triangle. One inch line going up from the tip, half...

    Different BTO (lot to lot) and bullet seating depth

    Newbie to Sniper's Hide here.... But I know you guys give great information. I developed a 308 load using a specific lot of 168gr match bullets - OCW, bullet seating, neck tension, and primers. When I measured a new box the BTO was .026 longer than the lot I used for load development. My...

    Hi All, I am having built a .308 sniper rifle for an Army Veteran friend of the Vietnam War that was a sniper for SE Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), and was wanting a "nostalgic" bolt action rifle like he used to use. I have acquired for him a Green Mountain .308 stainless 1:10" twist, 24"...

    Charge or Seating Depth first on ladder test?

    I am developing a new load and am unsure whether to run a ladder test on charge weight first, or seating depth first. I usually end up alternating iteratively between the two for a few tests since each influences the other, probably wasting time and rounds, something that I cannot afford to do...

    Question about harmonics and OCW tests

    Hi Guys, Question here. I am wondering about OCW tests conducted using different seating depths of a projectile. Let's say I want to do an OCW test, so I load up my rounds and set the ogive to base length to a certain distance (we'll call it X) using my micrometer die. Then I go shooting...
