More pieces to the puzzle I was correct in my previous post. I'm using 38gn of Varget. I tried some experiments. 1) I took one of my once fired cases and I seated the bullte to the same depth as some Hornady BTHP I bought The result was the same. It would chamber but the bolt was hard to...

Since I'm at work I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certian that it is 38gn of Varget

The brass came from this rifle The scuffing is in that one place only My loaded rounds are .042 longer than commercial The case is not tight without the bullet

I’ve just started reloading for accuracy. I’ve got a Savage model 11 in .308. I’ve got some once fired brass so I neck sized it. I used Hornady’s tool to determine the OAL for the bullet to be just touching the rifling and then backed it off by .005”. It was a bit difficult chambering the first...

Thank you all for your responses. I I saw some reviews on som Sightron SIII models and they weren't bad. The reviews seemed to indicate that they weren't great either. It seems as if the reviews I'm finding both for the Vortex and the Sightron scopes are by people that think $2,000 is about...

The LRH Store sells the VORTEX Viper PST 6-24x50 and they have free shipping. I have no experience with long range hunting, target shooting or anything past about 300 yards. Some friends of mine and I were talking about what to do next year for our annual shooting vacation away from the wives...
