I have a Shooting Chrony F1 Chronograph. Are these pretty consistant? That is, when I'm shooting multiple targets at the range, and I move my line of trajectory a bit, will this throw the chrony off? Will it misrepresent velocities if the bullet path is up too high or down too low in the...

SOLD pending funds.

So, Is the 3338-378 more of a hunting round than a target round? What's th ebbl length you got on yours daveosok

Jones, I've heard from many sources that Varget and IMR 4064 were great in the .308. The Nornady Manual(s) rave about the two powders in this cartridge. Just experimenting with all the known performers.

Ooops. SMK 175 Gr.

Just got a can of IMR 4064 to try out w/ my .308 (Savage 10FP LE2, 1 in 10" twist) The IMR website lists: Starting at 41.5 gr. and max out at 45.6 gr . 45.6 sounds pretty hot! That's a pretty big difference from starting to max. I figure I will start with three loads 43.5 gr. , 44.0 gr. and...

Brian, I have .308 175 gr. SMKs. Thanks, Ramses II

OAL is a little difficult w/ SMK bullets. Some tips are flat (HP), some of the HP tips are longer on one side than the other...I know it is a very small amount but it makes uniforming the OAL difficult......anybody else have this experience? How do you overcome it? Ramses II Boy, y'all are...

I just shot some FGMM brass reloads. I initially did primer pocket uniforming. After firing the reloads do I have to primer pocket uniform again? Ramses II

Anybody try H4895 in .308? A guy at the range today said he really liked it in his .308. Ramses II

Let me first say that I have not had good experiences with many retailers, gunsmiths and manufacturers in the firearms and related industries (or couldn't you tell by my initial sour attitude). I have often received products that do not perform as advertisied or products that have manufactured...

Is this normal. I ran my brass through the full length sizer and then followed the directions to use the collet die.....it was so easy to push the case in and out of the die I wonder if it did anything. I couldn't see any difference. So, I tried it with a shell I hadn't full length...

Ok, I know I just asked about the 190SMK loads. But you guys gave such great advice, I just ahve to ask about another. Anybody have a good Varget load for 178 A-Max in .308? Hoenady Manual says a max of 43.2 gr. Ramses II
