Hi Everyone, I just picked up a Saiga IZ-132 in 7.62x39 last month and am still waiting for my wood furniture from Ironwood Designs before I order my trigger conversion kit. I picked up some Tapco and Magpul standard AK mags and filed down the magazine release to accept these mags. I...

I chose the $5 flat rate shipping rate but I don't see any section regarding an additional $13 discount off each 1000 rounds. I added 4 quantities of 500 9mm 124gr rn bullets for $36.27 each for a total of 145.08. Has the $13 off been applied? Thanks

Nice post! I'm going to stock up on some while this lasts. I noticed their website says $13 off each 1000, does anyone know if this discount has been applied to the items in their inventory already? For example, the 124gr 9mm RN 500 bullets are $36.27. Is the $13 already taken off if I buy...

Unfortunately, I am unable to find the bullet manufacturer on the bag. I tried searching for similar bullets made by different companies but nothing quite matches the ones I have specifically.

Thanks BluewaterLa! I'll go with IMR's listed load data for 150 gr nos BT starting load of 40 grains and work up to 44.5 grains. Let you guys know how that goes... I assume I should seat it to the cannelure just to see how that goes, but I don't think I'll be able to get a COL of 2.8" because...

Hello all, I just went to the Crossroads gun show in Ontario this past weekend and saw some cheap .30 cal 150gr FBSP bullets, $75 for 500. Decided to pick up a bag for reloading 308's. I've been using 168gr Graff HPBT bullets with 39 grains of IMR 8208 XBR with luck so far but I ran out...

http://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Reloading-Length-Headspace-Gauge/dp/B002RJURSM Will this work for measuring shoulder to head? I used my caliper to measure the length from the base to the two lines on the neck and they're pretty close to the dimensions of a factory round. Its just a little hard...

I heard after shooting 3-4 times in my bolt action, I will have to FL resize again as the cases will become too enlarged to neck size only. I have 10 rounds with LC brass that I made first, prior to screwing in the die another 1/4 turn, which fit in the chamber but the bolt is a little bit...

No worries Bluewater, your comment was helpful. I read up all I could through my Lyman handbook and watched several youtube videos on reloading 308's but I just wanted to make sure I'm doing everything correctly this time. I had a bad 223 round that damaged my bolt once so I want to eliminate...

I heard with the otis cleaning kit or a bore snake, there is no need for a cleaning rod since it goes from the breech to the muzzle. Im sure there are benefits to having the dewey rod but for just the purposes of maintaining and cleaning the rifle, can I get away with just the Otis sniper...

Thanks for all the input, really helpful. Once I trimmed, chamfered and deburred the cases after full length resizing, the bullets are being held by the case neck just firmly enough to not fall out when I flip it upside down and shake it around. Problem has been solved. Cases have been...

I began reloading 308 for my bolt action using the Lee deluxe 308 dies which includes both the full length sizing die as well as the neck sizer. For my once fired federal brass, I only did neck sizing and the cases chamber properly. The rest of my brass is all Lake City once fired brass and...

I'm looking for cleaning kit for my R700 VTR in 308 and I came across the Otis cleaning system on Amazon. I read up some reviews on this product and a lot of people seem to recommend it so now I'm trying to see which one I should purchase since they have several different options available. At...

Good point. I just checked, Federal case holds 51.1 grains max, and LC case holds 51.5 max. Not much of a difference, I'm just going to treat them the same. I assume all the other LC and Federal cases should be very similar in capacity if not the slight deviations should be too minor to have...

So i decided to pick up some Graf 168 gr HPBT bullets instead and the load data I got from Hodgdon's website indicates starting loads at 39 grains and max at 43.3 grains. I have 30 Federal brass and 500 Lake City brass that I can use. Do I have to decrease my min/max loads by 10% when using...

Hey thanks a lot for all the clarification, really helpful! I'm gonna pick up some more suitable bullets

Its a plated bullet and I got it for free from the guy I bought the remington 700 vtr from. I assume he bought it because the price tag sticker on it shows $50 for 500 bullets, which is less than half the price of any other 308 bullets at the store

Thanks for your inputs. Anyone out there try IMR 8208 XBR for 150 grain plated flat nose x-treme bullets? I want to try the trailboss loads but my store isn't going to get any in for a while so I still want to load with what I have first.

Thanks for the quick response. I too heard that Trailboss is well suited for those bullets but I'm unable to get my hands on any at the moment. How many grains of trailboss do you use and what was your COL?

Hi, I've been looking at a lot of posts but I'm new to the forum. I've been reloading 9mm, 45 acp, and 223's successfully for a while now and I just bought everything I need to begin 308's on my Hornady LNL AP press. I'm trying to find load data for 308 Win using Lake City once fired...
