    308 powder opinions needed

    I have a rem 700 XCR in 308 and I reload using 43 grains of Varget with Sierra 175 grain Matchking bullets and BR2 primers. I jump the lands by .010 and have realized that trigger time is way more important than finding the "perfect reloading combo"

    New problem I've never seen before.

    take an empty casing, put bullet in by hand until it just stays in the casing and then insert into chamber and close bolt. This will cause the bullet to seat until it reaches the ogive of the bullet (so far that has worked on my Rem 700). Then, using a ogive collett that you mount to your...

    loading the 500 S&W

    I have the 460 XVR and I reload with 45 grains of H110 using large rifle magnum primers and a Hornady 200 grain FTX bullet. Loudest firearm at the range and although it kicks like a mule, it doesn't hurt like the 500 does.

    Seating .308 bullets with no groove.

    I have a remington 700 (who doesn't!) and reload using Sierra 175 grain matchkings. I stick a loose bullet in shell, load into rifle and it seats the bullet until it touches the lands. I measure this using the ogive attachment to my calipers. Then I set my seating die to give me the jump I...

    I use 45 grains of H110 in my 460XVR and using the 200 grain FTX bullet. It is kick-ass!
