On some of my .308 win reloads the bolt is hard to close. Then on others from the same "lot" of loads it will close very easily. I am using an RCBS full length sizing die and have it screwed in until the the bottom touches the shell holder. All of the cases were trimmed and and all bullets were...

http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8441&dir=278|281|727 I am looking for something to shoot accurately from my .308. I know that HP's are better because it is easier to keep the base uniform when it is not open, so I am wondering how these would shoot.

I just bought some Varget and it looks like it is two powders mixed together. I figure this is just how it is, but it had a somewhat strong smell too. It looked like there was a dark gray extruded powder and a gray/green extruded powder. Is that what it is supposed to be? Thanks for the help.

Has anyone else noticed that when people throw mud and dirt in their guns they will pick up a handful of mud and only throw a little bit in and most of it goes over the side. Then they might shake it out or wash it in water. This guy gets most out with water...

What is the main difference between the two? It looks like the VX-III has index match lens and different magnification ranges. Is it really worth the extra cash? The scope will be used for target shooting hopefully at longer ranges soon and possibly hunting. And before anyone recommends I...

How do the three compare for .223? I have some silver bear and know it runs fine in my AR but have not used wolf or barnual. It will be about $.30 for the barnual, $.26 for the silver bear, and $.27 for the wolf. I have heard good things about barnual but have no experience with it so all input...

I have some .223 rem loads with 26.0gr. of H335 with 50gr. SP's and 52gr. HPBT's. Both are loaded to 2.250". Some manuals say 26.0gr. of H335 is below a starting load while others state that it is max or near max with 50gr. bullets. It will be shot from an AR and I would rather not damage...

I picked up some .30-06 armor piercing ammo today and would like to know what it is worth. I can't take pictures but will describe the headstamps... 1. I have ones with a "DM" on one side and then a "43" on the opposite. 2. "DM" on top, "42" on opposite side. 3. "RA" on top, "43" on the...

I am sick of shooting at 100 yards and would like to shoot further...So does anyone know of ranges near Pittsburgh(south hills area)? Willing to drive up to 50 minutes.

I have been wanting an accurate .308 for a little while now and love the 700. I have one and have a sportsman 78 which is very similar. The action is solid, the gun is universal and I am familar with it. But it isn't the best deal going and there are more accurate guns in the same price range...

What are they going for new in .308? I see them for about $500 before shipping and FFL charges online, is that fair? I recall seeing dick's sporting goods having specials for ones in .223 and .22-250 for $450, but haven't seen that in about 6 months.

The 700 sps varmint seems to have the x-mark trigger on it, and I would rather have the older trigger, does the 700PSS/700P have the old trigger? I have read here that the actions and barrels are the same, so I figure the trigger is but would like to check.

I was just thinking about how everyone says, I don't let anyone know I have guns.... But in some arguments people bring up the city Kennesaw, Georgia and talk about how crime is low because criminals know that the people own guns. So which is it? Do criminals look for gun owners, or stay away...

I live just south of Pittsburgh, PA and need a longer range. Does anyone know of a range that has over 100 yards? At least 300 yards would be great.

I know that there have been a lot of threads in the past that talk about the 6.5, but I want a current view of things. What does everyone predict will happen with the cartridge? Is it here to stay? Uppers are expensive and rifles are very expensive, so that may turn many away. But wolf has...

This will be a thread where you talk about everything you have heard at gun shows that is outrageous. Today I was told that 9mm is drying up and won't be found in a month, Russian ammo has powder that burns away rifling, and 7.62x39 hasn't been produced in 10 years so we are running out.

Since none of my manuals list a COL and I can't find a COL on the internet I have some more questions. I have read on here and in a few manuals that you can find a good COL by starting a bullet into an uncharged and unprimed case and chambering it. So I did that, and measured the COL, it was...

I feel like it is to easy to reload so I want to be sure I have done everything properly. I have read the manuals, but still feel the need to check with someone. First I clean and inspect the cases. De-prime/size Trim to the correct length Deburr inside and outside of case mouth Prime...

I am new to reloading and have a question about bullet seating. I know that the overall length of the loaded 30-30 win. round should be under 2.550" but don't know how far the bullet should be in the case.

I seem to have a hard time cleaning the inside of the bolt carrier on my AR. I have a small brush that I use to clean the inside of the carrier, but it still takes some effort to get the fouling off the face inside. So how do you clean your bolt carrier?
