I agree that's the same thing I was thinking:D

consistency starts with your cases! you need to weigh them and sort them before and after you prep them, different case weights will have different internal volume and will perform different from shot to shot if not separated, this is another cause of velocity extremes, if you want to get you ES...

Let me say this first I have no interest in a magnum cartridge! I'm looking to stay away from the magnums I have no interest due to recoil, ok got that out of the way:) I'm looking to build a 1k+yd capable rifle/cartridge combo, I already have a few nice 308win rifles, I've looked at the 3006...

I have a Savage FLCP-K 308win, I use Lapua brass and fully prep them before loading them, I turn my necks just enough to remove excess brass off the neck and usually end up at 14.5 thousands all the way around, I use a Lee neck mandrel collet die to neck size my brass after firing it before...

another thing you my want to look at is as we use these tools things tend to loosen up so you might want to check to see if everything is still tight and liner as it should be:D

no worries my friend we've all been there:) I hope I helped :D

I found a thread on the net that came back to this forum! talking about this very issue, so you might do a search here and see what you come up with? I did measure my RC and it has an opening just under 4'' I also measured my Redding T7 and from the top of the ram to the top of the turret its a...

how much clearance is needed in the press opening for that case?:cool:

the best thing to do is use a seating die that doesn't come in contact with the tip of the bullet, gun)

I agree 100% it doesn't matter what you use you will need to learn what it does in all conditions, temperature and the elements changes everythinggun)

WOW never heard of that 1 before! but I have seen some fake ACOG's out there! if your un happy about it I'd take it back where I bought it and confront them about it! I don't care how long ago it was if their still in business? just my thoughts! it just go's to show you just never know anymore...

I would look into the Hodgdon Extreme powder line that's what I use:D

EGW makes good stuff IMOgun)

I'd like to hear your results as well:D if I lived close to you you'd be my new best friend:D LOL!!! I have some nice builds too but nothing like what you've got! I tend to stay with the 308win but my bro and I have been wanting to build some 338 Lapua's but with as hard as things are to get as...
