I have a first year USA Repeating Arms Winchester M-70 Featherweight 20” barrel 308 Winchester. Oddball rifle with long action, but shoots most any 150, 165 and 168 grain with little ragged 3 shot groups. I have this rifle in years because for some reason it kicks like a mule and is not pleasant...

Savage 10T 24” barrel with 7.7 twist. My reloading focus has been around shooting 103gr. to 115gr. bullets. Do not have a lot of rounds down the pipe, but I have found H4350 and Superformance both good powders. I do not have a good load dialed in yet. I started reloading for this rifle in Maine...

As mentioned previously, fit is everything when it comes to shotguns. I purchased a Red Label years ago in 20ga. I used that shotgun for one season over sorting dogs and could never get comfortable behind it. Red Label has more drop in the stock and clearly did not fit my shooting style or my...

If everyone would quit buying and stockpiling for the apocalypse, then maybe prices would correct? I have reloading components that I have had for countless years. I have not bought a pound of powder or primers since the price gouging started. Mind you that I don’t shoot nowhere near as much as...

Welcome from West Central Florida (Hudson). You will enjoy the forum, Great bunch of knowledgeable people here.

If I use C375 on my cases I measure 1.660”. Have you measured using D400. Headspace is measured closer to the body and not in the middle of the shoulder. Smoke or mark with a black marker a piece of brass that chamber easily and one you are having issue with. It should remove marks where it is...

Man, there are so many variables here, but I agree with Pdvdh response as a starting point. Running a soft metal (brass) into a harder metal (steel) will always result in the softer metal getting formed (Resized). If your the base of your die is coming in full contact with the top of your shell...

I agree with many posters that reloading is becoming a lost art. Most of the younger generation want instant gratification. They can go to the local sporting goods store and spent a hundred dollars on a couple of boxes of 50 rd 223 or 9mm and go blast away. They don’t really care about accuracy...

More information should be included in your post. Bullet weight, Caliber and Twist Rate? Looks to me like a bullet stability issue?

I have purchased many new Savage rifles and I have never seen anything like what was displayed in that video. I believe all Savage rifles are test fired, but I cannot imagine them letting a rifle that has been used by them for more than test firing out the door. If I received a rifle that like...

I can’t comment on Elite Precision rifle, but I have never owned a Savage that I could not easily get to shoot. As long as I do my part behind the gun and in load development I’ve never had any issue attaining .5 MOA without a lot of effort. I purchased an 111 LRH in 7MM Mag when they first came...

Agree, Browning is good quality product. Price depending on what your requirements are are good value. My experience is similar to Ruger out of the box, it is hit or miss? I have had Rugers that would shoot and those that I could not make shoot. I never got a grasp on the Ruger, but all of the...

Agree on Savage👍👍👍 Savage LRH in 7mm Rem Mag accuracy out of the box. I purchased one when they first came out and have never regretted it. I have not regretted any Savage rifles I have purchased and that has been many. They are not typically pretty and people thing the bolt is rough and...
