Sounds like you have it handled but for future reference, reamerrentals.com rents reamers and headspace gauges by mail. It's very convenient for rare reamers or gauges that you'll probably never use again.

Assuming you mean for paper punching a 308 with a 20" barrel should be sufficient. I use a 30-06 built on a 700 action. It's a happy medium between a 7 mag and a 308. The 20" barrel won't effect velocity as much on a 308 as much as it would on a magnum and it will be more rigid with better...

I applaud your decision to pull them. Before i started reloading, a friend gave me a bag of 40 s&w that he had for a while. He doesn't remember where he had gotten them from. They were obviously reloads. I was didn't know any better at the time. I shot them out of my glock 22. Around the 30th...

The reason i ask is i am in the design process of a suppressor for a 338 spectre build I'm working on. I'm having trouble finding muzzle pressure data for the round. I need that to come up with can thickness needed for the working pressure. I usually use a safety factor of 1.5. Do you think...

Can quickload be used to calculate port and muzzle pressures on wildcat cartridges such as 338 spectre?

I couldn't imagine 28 grains. 27.8 fills the case right to the top with military brass.

Originally it was in partial shade and wouldn't read. I moved it to direct sunlight and it functioned just fine. Read every shot. It's just a cheap prochrono.

It is a very hot load. Lyman suggest 27.8 grains behind a 55 gr. In their ar reloading handbook. I stopped at 27.6 because i started to get paranoid since their load is more than 1 grain over everyone else's. I didn't get any pressure signs but i am definitely going to download it a bit...

Thank you. That is exactly the type of info i was hoping to get.

Well i have had nothing but good experiences with them. I have plenty of experience looking through glass. Their qc may not be good or may be great, i can't attest to that as i only own 3 magnified optics and one non from them. But i can say that i can ID .30 caliber holes at 500 yds with my...

I just chrono'ed a .556 load using 27.6 grains of win 748 behind a 55 gr fmj. I averaged 2994 fps with a sd of 27. Accuracy was good and I'm overall happy with the load. It was around 10 degrees Fahrenheit out. I know that win 748 is temp sensitive. My question is how much more velocity should i...

I've had my fair share of rifle scopes and was a leuapold guy in the past...until i bought a viper 6-24X50 pst ffp. I have never seen so much clarity for under $2000 and at $950 i couldn't be happier. I shoot with a 100yd zero out to 800yds using my dope. The scope is very repeatable. Since then...

Thank you all very much. I think i may try the frankfort....that is unless mongoose wants to sell his thumlers tumbler at a good price. Lol

Well thank you all very much for your input. You have sold me on trying it myself.

Who here uses quickload? Pros? Cons? What type of accuracy do you get from it in relation to velocity. What type of accuracy do you suspect you are getting in relation to pressure. Are there any common component selections missing from it?

I wonder how dawn/lemi shine would work in my sonic cleaner.

I've been reloading for awhile and I've cleaned my case with a sonic cleaner the whole time. Now i find myself wanting to get a bit more shine on my brass every now and then. I think a wet tumbler with ss pins would be great. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good wet tumbler that doesn't...

Congrats on the group. Sub moa is nothing to shake a stick at. If you ever find yourself wanting that data feel free to ask. VLD's true potential can be completely missed if you don't tinker with the coal. But if you're happy with the amax's at half the price there's no sense in using up half a...

Also. I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but VLD's are very sensitive to seating depth. My berger book has their method for establishing the best depth for your rifle. I also have their load data. If you're still in need of any info let me know.

To whom it may concern: i have figured out what the problem was. The everglades 55 gr bullets miked out to .226. I tried hornady 55 gr soft points with the cfe 233 and they worked flawlessly.
