In my latest batch of .308 168g Berger classic hunters the g1 be changed from .496 to .489. Did the bullet change at all or just the bc?

I got to start trying the hammer 181g bullets out with h1000. I checked pressures from 89g-99g and 96-99 shot a 1" group. I went out today to try loads between 95-98 and only was able to shoot 95 and 96 before the rain took over. Both shot 3/4" inch groups with two touching and the third...

My .308 168 classic hunters came in orange boxes in the past. The ones I ordered a month ago came in a yellow box with the correct label and appear to be the same.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions. When I got home this evening I pulled the rifle out to check the torque of everything. The following numbers are where my wheeler far wrench broke the fasteners loose, I adjusted from 10lbs up in 5lb increments. Stock action screws: 20in/lbs Scope...

Just wanted to say thank you to Steve with hammer bullets for taking the time to call me on a Saturday afternoon to help me with this rifle. I look forward trying the 181g hammer hunters.

Thank you for all your help

Thank you, I just ordered 100 of the 181g bullet to try out. Thank you for your help

Thanks for all of your help, recoil has never been an issue before, I shoot my 300 wsm 2" @ 600 regularly with a bipod and 50bmg 6" or less at 600 with factory 750 amax. When I get home Sunday I will pull the stock and reinstall it.ill pull the scope also and double check everything with the...

Picture of group

I have a 300 wsm with a bartlein 26" barrel. I tested some Hornady 150g btsp and h4350. When I loaded these up I used the data from the Hornady book, after looking tonight I noticed they are 3 grains heavier than my other books I have. I'm wondering if my chronograph could be off or if anyone...

WINNER!!! As soon as I read the first line it hit me. Thanks for saving me a long night going through it in my head. I just sized 20 and they went in just fine. That's the great thing about this site, it helps having thousands of eyes looking over your shoulder!! Thanks agin for the help

I'm stumped now, I loaded up 20 rounds and went to shoot them this afternoon. I shot 3 factory loads and everything went fine. When I tried to chamber my reloads it was very tough to close the bolt and very tough to open without even firing, I tried a couple different ones and same on all...

Thanks for the help. That makes sense that they would chamber to saami specs. I guess I'm just used to factory rifles with long throats. Thank you for getting me squared away and all the links. I hope to try it out Friday and see how it does. Thanks again

Sorry for the confusion I think I jumped into several different measurements. What I'm wondering about is if I simply loaded to book published OAL then with this rifle I would be right around the lands. Bullet_____________Book oal_______ OAL That touches lands. Barnes 165...
