I have a browning a bolt in 7mm rem mag and where I hunt here in Wisconsin I can shoot deer up to 700 yards. Also I am considering buying a rem 700 7mm rem mag (bull barrel) because I shoot my 308 1000 yards and I want to shoot farther.
Now the question is am I better off shooting the 150 or...
The only problem with the CDS turrets is that once you have them set for temp, elevation, and everything else you have to get new turrets if you go somewhere that is hotter, colder, higher, lower etc.
What kind of turrets do you have? finger turrets or the ones you use a dime with?
I have a Leopold mark 4 and I adjust turrets out to 1000 yards with my 308 and can turn back to zero and be on.
I don't know much how Nikon scopes are but with some dime turrets when you adjust them they take a...
YouTube is probably the best place for reloading videos.
its a waste of money buying dvds online. most of the dvds say there for experienced reloaders or for long range shooting and there basically for new reloaders.
I know you are a new loader but try youtube.
I don't check for run out so I won't talk about it but as far as using it with other calibers.
I have the 308 comp die and I have used it for 30-06 and also I can use it for 300 win mag.
Love the bullet window.
The way I do it with all my rifles is find the starting and max loads for the bullet and powder I will be using. I always shoot 100yds for test.
So with my rem sps 308 I'm shooting 175 smk, with RL-15
starting load is 40gr max is 44.3gr.
reload in groups of 5. starting at 40gr, 40.5, 41...
I have an a bolt in 7mm mag.
the only time I reload to the C.O.A.L is when reloading for someone else.
all of my guns are reloaded just of the lands which is longer the C.O.A.L
but in doing this I have read that pressures are higher the longer your C.O.A.L is.
but you end up with better...
I will be buying a Remington 700 long range 7mm rem mag with the bell and Carlson m40 stock in the next couple weeks. when I get my taxes back.
I have a Remington 700 sps 308 and I hate not having mags.
the one from midway I am looking at is
Wyatt's Outdoors Trigger Guard and Detachable...
I have a Winchester SX3 12 gauge 28" with 3 extended choke tubes, and original tubes that came with the gun.
Only had for 6 months and I don't get much time shooting.
paid $1000 new and $40 for each choke tube. ($120)
Asking $900.
I'm confused. what you are measuring?
308 win. Case trim to length is 2.005" and COAL is 2.800" about.
I've been reloading 308 for a few years for shooting 1000 yards.
I full length size all my brass and check for cracks and measure length and have never had a problem.
Still wonder what...
I am making a wish list on midwayusa.com for building an ar 15 223 bull barrel piston driven. varmint gun.
I picked out the Osprey piston kit. its says max barrel dia is 1" with the barrel I picked is .920 so good there. By brother has already built a piston driven ar but not a bull barrel or...
My personal opinion on "most but not all" rifle cartridges is it doesn't make a whole lot of difference out to 4-500yds speed vs BC. But the farther out you go, BC becomes king no matter what cartridge.
+1 ENOUGH SAID!
