My most accurate load for 22-250 uses 37gr of 4350 and a 50gr nosler ballistic tip. This is consistently a 1/2" load

I've loaded lots of 44spl and 9mm with clays. Always got great accuracy and it's very economical but smokey!

Well got out yesterday with the chronograph, put 10 rounds through it averaging 2622 with a 4fps standard deviation so guess I'll just keep loading that big pile of free brass thats been sitting in the drawer forever! Group opened up a bit to .75 but thats probably just me, I'm a happy camper.

Hey there, haven't been on in a looooooong time (life got CRAZY), but need some input from THR. I recently made a trade I'm pretty pleased with (acquired a rem 700 308, shilen 20" barrel, mcrees precision aluminum side folding chassis, harris bipod). My only 308 brass I've got laying around is...

I have the 25x millet on an m1a and it really is HEAVY AND HUGE!!! But it is very good quality and adjustments are repeatable and reliable. Overall I couldnt be more satisfied with it but would never put it on a rifle i intended to use for anything other than match, predator or varmint purposes...

My experience with Ruger has been the same, genuinely top notch service. Nice to see a company in this day and age that actually seems to care about their reputation with long standing customers.

Did you get any pressure signs @ 22.8?

I've made more than my fair share of plywood (currently production supervisor of a plywood mill), and I myself have a bench top like the one you describe and i would say if you damage that you must be resizing some un-lubed 50bmg lol.

Surely there's some of Elmer's old lead 41 data floating around?

I would say if your m1a is a standard model (mine is) use your standard 308 resizing die and let it cam over good and hard but if you get a model with a match barrel/chamber save yourself the potential headache and get a small base die. I experimented for an eternity with brass, primers, powder...

Tikka anyone?

I've just finally got my m1a all buttoned up after two years, it's a standard model with a synthetic stock, sadlak steel mount and an lrs-1. It's terribly heavy but i love that rifle anyway and after LOTS of handloading have found it shoots 168gr hornady bthp match bullets with 42.2 gr of varget...

I have good luck for really light target loads with 240gr cast bullets and clays in 44 spl

It will accomplish making it clear that we WILL NOT COMPLY.
