    Downloaded .308 Recipe

    I just purchased a Bergara b-14 wilderness ridge in .308 for my kiddos this hunting season. I'm looking to download my current recipe down a bit for them, even though the rifle has a factory muzzle brake on it. What are your recommended recipes? bullets? powders? Thanks in advance!! hvychev

    Bergara sling stud

    I just bought a Bergara b-14 ridge wilderness. It only has one sling stud up front. Are there options/accessories that i can buy to have a sling + bipod attached? I really do not want to drill into the stock and put a second stud in. Thanks in advance!! Cheers!!

    .308 reloading question

    So, i reloaded some .308's today... No issues until i went to chamber a round in my rifle, and realized i probably should've turned my FL sizing die in about a quarter turn more. The bolt gets a little snug when closing. My question is are these rounds safe to shoot? Everything is trimmed and...

I'm wanting to load some for .357 mag and 45 acp. What's the general consensus? Good/Bad? Advantages and disadvantages? I did read something on line...

    357 mag & gas checks

    Hi folks, i'm getting ready to start reloading 357 mag. I load for 44 mag with Alliant 2400 and will be using the same powder for 357. I load jacketed bullets for the 44 since i use the gun for hunting deer with. Now, i'll probably be loading the 357 with lead. Should I use gas checked bullets...

    Kahr CW45

    I purchased a new CW45 about a month or so ago, ran almost 300 rounds through it and am having some issues with the gun not going back fully into battery. It's pretty much been this way right out of the box. Also, if there is a round chambered, you have to discharge the weapon to unload...

    208g Amax and H4831sc

    I been doing some reading online where some folks are saying that H4831sc is a bit too fast for 208g Amax in a 300 win mag. I'm shooting a custom 300 win mag and have some to load up. Hogdgon does have data on line but figured I'd throw it out there. What do you folks think? Has anyone used this...

    Buying Powder Online

    I've never purchased powder through an internet supplier yet. However, the local stores are suffering pretty bad right now which is causing me to extend my searching area. How do you fellas get around the Hazmat fee? Do you just order in bulk to save money? How many folks buy powder on line? And...

    Powder from 2 different lots

    I'm reloading for my .308 using 41 grains of H4895 with a 168g Hornady A Max. In lieu of having tough times locating more powder, what risk is it to combine 2 1lb. containers of powder from different lots? is this dangerous? would it affect accuracy or velocity? I've never done this in the past...

    44 Mag & Cannelure

    So I am loading 19g of 2400 under a 240g Hornady XTP @ 1.610". At this COL I am a bit on the bottom of the cannelure. Sorry no pics guys. My question is, what kind of risk would it be to set my bullet a touch deeper to be in the middle of the cannelure? I would imagine it would be only a few...

    30 Cal. C.O.L. issues

    So, i have a Remington Model 700 that appears to have a fairly deep throat. I'm new to anything aside from SAMMI standard overall length for bullet seating. I purchased a Hornady COL gauge. It worked great on my .308 and proved out that i'm setting my bullets at .015" off the lands/grooves...

    .308 seating depth

    So I purchased the Hornady case gauge to determine how far I am currently seating off the lands. Looks like touching the lands I would be at 2.820, and I currently load at 2.805 COL. So, I'm right at .015 off the lands. I'm just curious if any closer would help or hurt? I'm loading at the bottom...

    .308 Help

    I'm having an issue with a handful of rounds I loaded for my. 308. The issue is that about 4-5 of this batch of 50 is really hard to close the bolt on. All of the other rounds work as slick as you would expect. I have full length sized all of them, trimmed brass to 2.10, and seated bullets to...

    .308 case length

    I resized and primed 100 federal cases today for my. 308 and then primed them. The problem is that I found a few pieces that were at 2.018-2.019" after the fact. I know that max case length is supposed to be at 2.015". So, I chambered the longest piece in my rifle and it was really easy to close...

    Velocity Deviation - .308

    Hi everyone. I did some load testing for my .308 this weekend and have a couple questions for you long range shooters. I was using my chrono and had speeds from 2590-2625. Is this a normal spread? I guess I shot 5 rounds through it with chrono 10 feet from muzzle. Also, at 500-600 yards, how...
