    Berger 115 VLD in 6-284

    Yea, 30" PacNor 1:8 Depending on conditions I get the best results between 3370-3400 fps with Ramshot Mag and Fed M primers with about a 10 thou jump Went hotter in ladder tests, but the spread was too high above 3420 or so.... BTW--115 DTACs are my best target loads, but only because I keep...

    lee collet dies/rcbs dies/foster bonanza dies/who's dies are best?

    Inline dies first, like Wilson's Forster bushing next Redding bushing or RCBS comp

    VLD (hunting) ?

    I use these 3 with good success, 115 Berger Hunting VDL 115 DTAC and 117 DTAC So far Ram Mag is my best powder, but I'm still working with others... 56.5 gr gives me around 3250 fps and is very temp stable, have loaded it to well over 3400 fps but my rifle shoots a little better with...

    Looking for a place to shoot (disabled vet)

    OK shameless plug here: Looking for a place to shoot long distance in the Texas Hill Country--Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Bandera area. Almost 29 years in the Military, wounded in Iraq, I'm a very disiplined shooter, always keeping safety first. Would like 300 yards to 1000 yards, I...

    rifle inconsistency

    If possible try some factory ammo, but I would guess it's a scope issue.

    I need help with reloading die selection

    Let me make sure that no one misunderstands: I have no issues with the Sinclair Nut, just making a point--make sure not to change the attached device used for measurement. I only full length resize when using fired brass from another rifle or for some case forming/bumping. Load all my DTACS (...

    rifle inconsistency

    Have to ask the obvious question(s) here since you asked about getting new reloading equipment-- Are you shooting ammo that you loaded? Are you shooting the exact same ammo each time? What kind of scope, and how high is it mounted?

    VLD (hunting) ?

    I use Berger VDL hunting 115gr in my 6-284 with great success--they preform well on game and are still precision shooters for long range....

    I need help with reloading die selection

    I will hazard an opinion on the above: With a micrometer top on the Wilson's, I think you will find that the Redding's are no better, and on most 7/8 die presses they are not as precise (overall). Also the "large base to ogive differences" is puzzling, unless you are just talking about...

    I need help with reloading die selection

    If you need a micrometer adj, Sinclair sells them for Wilson... I would avoid full length resizing until it was required, but even in cases where one has to, I would then use my Wilson Full Length Seater The Full Length Seater supports the whole assembly, bullet & case, and never...

    I need help with reloading die selection

    Wilson? About the best you can buy, unless your using fired brass from another rifle or shooting the same brass in another rifle you may never need to full length resize... I have several rifles that I only use Wilson dies, including my bench and F class rifles, and that brass gets loaded...

    Tried RL-33 in three different chamberings today

    Based on the above, I would start testing it as a single loader :cool:
