    Barnes TTSX 223 Seating depth

    Working up a load for Barnes TTSX 62g in 223 for a DPMS Barnes load data states a COAL of 2.25 and recommends 0.05 off the lands so in theory I'd start with 2.25 - 0.05 = 2.2" COAL Using a gauge I measure 2.392 base to end of plastic tip which is a mile longer. Just for fun I measured base to...

    I recently acquired a Tikka T3 Compact in 308 and have attempted to reload for it. I went according to the Nosler 2014 tables here for the 150g (I'm using Barnes TSX). I loaded rounds with 44g, 44.5g, 45g, 45.5g, and 46g IMR 4064 and fired them at a 100 yard target. I'm getting 1/4 MOA with the...

    Is there a simple way to clean brass without the expense of a tumbler? Looking for a way to get the grime/stuff off the casing so the performance isnt effected. Shiny brass would be nice but its not a requirement for me

    Measuring Speed

    30-06 Loads (Hornady Manual)

    I'm new to reloading and I'm working on my first set of rounds. I'm a little short on cash to buy a Hornady reloading manual but plan to soon because I really like what I hear about the 165g SST for deer hunting. Can someone look in their Hornady manual and hit me up with load recipes for these...
