I’m impressed with my A-Bolt 7-08. Light recoil and accuracy with 43gr/Varget and 120-NBT. .570” @ 100 yards.

Over the years I’ve used a lot different media to clean my brass. Several years ago I switched to rice. I use car polish to activate. Takes a little bite of effort to get it out of bottle neck cases.

I got my first 308 52 years ago, I was 14. A 742 Remington. I still have a few. All the hype about the new calibers 🙄. I reload and shoot weekly. I get amused at the range. 250 yards is easy. After that, the game changes. My favorite now is is a 7-08, 120gr bullets. Light recoil. Just MO. 😁

I’ve use rice,add some Turtle Wax rubbing compound. Works better than any thing I’ve used in last 40 years. No red residue inside the case.

You still have 7mm TTSX Barnes

I’ve got 2 boxes of 32 H&R Magnum. Black hills 85gr JSP. Muskogee area. Sell or trade for something?

I travel on a regular basis. I’m seeing components back on the shelves. Powder mostly, Not so much bullets. Primers are available, $8-$10/100. My opinion is wholesalers are holding it ransom.

Last week, I saw 4 cases in a store in Arkansas, of Federal LR Magnum primers $99.99. Another store in Oklahoma, pistol primers $7.99/100, limit 3. The wholesalers are buy most of it and holding it for ransom!

I’ve loaded for .308 for many year. I full length size. They then go in the vibrating tub, I use rice for the media, Turtle Wax paste compound for the agent. Trim to length with Lee hand trimmer. I used 4064 for many years. Switched to Varget. I don’t get the flyers any more.

I was in a sporting goods store today. That had large rifle primers, limit 1 brick. $99.99 😟.

I’ve been working up a load for my A-Bolt 7MM-08. Hornady brass, WLR primers, Nosler 120 BT, H-414 49.0 grs. I have not ran into any problems. 44.0 grs Varget is preforming very well in my rifle also. I have a Savage 22-250 that doesn’t like Varget In any amount. Sticky bolt, flattened primer. I...

Longest shot on whitetail 250 yards. Lot of missed shots less than 50 yards! Thing’s happen fast in the thick brush.
