    Different suppressors for subsonic?

    is a "standard" suppressor the best option for suppressing subsonic rounds? I was wondering what the consensus is on suppressors for subsonic rounds, in particular for the .458 socom. It seems there are a few dedicated suppressors for subsonic .45 cal rounds, and maybe they are deemed to do a...

    Question about .458 SOCOM and .458HAM'R

    I'm contemplating building a .458 SOCOM on a bolt action rifle, which I would handload both sub and supersonic loads for. The HAM'R seems to be more of a reinforced case with a thicker web and small rifle primer, than an improved chambering. Would it work to size HAM'R brass in a SOCOM die to...

    .338 win mag or 300 win mag

    I have both. Inside of 400 yards, it won't make any difference to what you're hunting. It becomes a question of preference, recoil and style. Performance wise they can be made equivalent with different strengths and weaknesses if you have the correct twist and bullet. Make your choice based...

    Turning cases for seating/sizing?

    Does anybody else ever seat bullets in increments, turning the case as you go? When I going for accuracy rounds, I like to stroke up to just kiss and seat the bullet, turn the case, then give it about a halfway seated stroke, turn again, then finish the seating. I've also found that by sizing...

    Brass with unknown shot/reload count?

    By sizing routine do you mean trimming or sizing? I simply full length size after each firing. I had set the die up to bump the shoulder back just enough (I don't remember the number offhand) to get a snug fit. As for trimming, I start a new batch by trimming to the shortest piece in the...

    Brass with unknown shot/reload count?

    I have 100 .308win and 200 6.5-284 cases that during a move got tossed into a single tub. So now I have no idea of how many shots and or reloading cycles any piece of brass has on it. None of them will have more than 3 at a guess, and I have an induction annaler, so I'm wondering if it is...

    16 inch barrelled handy rifle - max range and caliber?l

    Hardy does offer both R8 and R93 profiled barrels now, in carbon sleeved and steel versions. They offer them both as profiled blanks and I think as finished barrels as well. The cool thing is that in .308 they run as fast as 1:7 which is appealing to me as I seem to always have trouble...

    16 inch barrelled handy rifle - max range and caliber?l

    I've become fond of the Blaser R93 in .308win with a 16" barrel. It shoots sub MOA and it's proven itself as perfectly capable for big game in normal hunting situations. What I'm thinking of doing now is getting a custom barrel sticking with the 16" length and the obvious choice seems to be to...

    .338 Lap AI / AX / .338-378 WBY data

    I just got my .338 AMP back, which is close to identical to the .338 Allen Xpress and I suppose not much different to the other improved Lapua magnum based cases. Here where I live it's not easy to get a wide variety of powders, with Vihtavuori being the most readily available, and recently...
