What about a 308 win? I've heard that the cartridge is inherently accurate, easy to load for and not finicky about powder charge. I could use the same bullet as my 300 win mag. What about barrel life of a 308? Pros and cons vs 7mm-08 and 280 Rem?

I just used that user name for lack of thinking of a better name. I don't have a 30-06. I have a 300 win mag and 270 win. I am looking for something a little bigger than the 270 for a backup elk rifle. I was hoping guys would get into a discussion of 7MM-08 vs 280 rem. Barrel life is...

I would like to find a rifle that would be a good backup for my 300 win mag for elk as well as using it for practice and target shooting at 300 and 600 yards. It would need to be inherently accurate and have a long barrel life, say 3000 to 4000 rounds. What would you suggest for caliber and for...

You nailed it. I am going for extreme accuracy. I get some fliers every once in a while and I'm trying to take measures to eliminate them. I've got brass for 2 rifles that have been fired several times, so that's why I wanted to know about measuring neck thickness. I've already done a lot of...

No one has the answer to this question? No one have at least an educated guess? How about a SWAG?

I'm new to reloading and learning a lot. I've heard of checking the neck wall thickness on new brass, but can you check it on fired brass? Will the powder residue effect the thickness readings? I've thought about using a brass brush on the inside of the case mouth to remove any excess powder...

B23, I don't think I said anything negative, I said I didn't have anything good to say about them. And the barrel wouldn't shoot very well and they wouldn't do anything about it. I'm just telling the facts. Yes, I just joined and saw this thread about Benchmark and wanted to give my...

I have nothing good to say about Benchmark. I had one of their barrels and ended up replacing it because it wouldn't shoot very well. They wouldn't do anything about it.
