[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2810798, member: 1039"] Well, I think I FINALLY have a day with low wind to do some more testing. I was going to go flying but someone has the plane blocked out. Shooting will work just fine. I don't know if I mentioned this but 5 years ago work transferred me to Farmington, NM. I thought it was for a year so I didn't move the entire house. I kept my place here (TX) and rented there. I moved back last May. That was a really, really long year :/ All of my vacation time was used to come home and visit kids and grandkids. Apparently it was also used to buy things :D So... when I say "I found some powder, bullets, complete AR upper, etc" I really mean I found it. :D I found some .308 168gr TTSX in my stash of bullets. So, instead of one rifle, I'll take two and see how the Rem 700 Tactical shoots. Other than the trigger change it's a factory rifle and hasn't had many round put through it. I think I'll shoot one rifle , then while it's cooling shoot the other rifle. I sense a total sh*tshow coming trying to keep that organized and remember which shot is which in the LabRadar so I may shoot one ladder test then the other. I tried to find "jam" in the .308 but it has a porn star throat like most factory rifles so I went with COAL. I loaded .075 past COL and the dummy bullet chambered fine (that irritates me to no end. There's no good reason for them to do that). The Barnes load data that I got off of the web showed the TTX COL as 2.810" and the TTSX COL as 2.735. The tipped bullets are just the TSX with a tip added to it so that can't be right. As I adjusted the seating die on the first round I realized something wasn't right.
