I understand that the Barnes TSX bullet replaced the XLC bullet (the Barnes X bullet with a molybdenum sulfide coating). The horizontal groves of the TSX are supposed to serve the same functions as the dry film lubricant of the XLC, resulting in reduced friction, etc. However, I was looking...

I have a Browning X-bolt, .308, 1:12 inch twist. Since most of my .308 shooting for the foreseeable future will be informal paper punching at 100 yards, while sitting at a bench, I plan to reload lower recoiling, lower cost, lower wear and tear, yet accurate loads suitable for this purpose...

I am a relative newbie to reloading and will soon begin reloading .308 Win for a Browning X-bolt. There is only one reloading aspect (so far) that confuses the heck out of me: HEADSPACE. First, it is confusing because there are so many different definitions for it. Examples...

I plan to begin reloading .308 Win (for Browning X-bolt). I plan to load Sierra bullets using the Lee Deluxe Rifle Die set (neck sizing + full sizing + seating dies). The bullets I plan to load do NOT have a crimp groove. I read that such bullets should NEVER be crimped in place using a...

I plan to get back into reloading after a long break and have the following questions on case lubrication for .308 Winchester. I plan to buy a Lee Breech Lock Challenger Press, which comes with Lee Case Sizing lube. I have the following questions on how to best use this lube (unless there is a...

I have the following questions on organizing loaded cartridges (in my case, relatively small quantities of .308 Win): 1. My Midway USA Master Catalog # 32 has lots of options (p. 398-402), but what’s the best technique to organize your loaded rounds in a box that have different charges...

I have decided to buy a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42 for a new Browning X-bolt so I can have a scope with great versatility. However, I am undecided on whether to get the “Fine Multi-X” or “Mil Dot” reticle. While I do not intend to specifically hunt or shoot in low light conditions, it would...

I plan to get back into reloading but only reload small quantities of .308 Win. I don’t want to buy equipment I really don’t need. What is the best technique to clean these rifle cases without a tumbler or liquid case cleaner? (BTW, my Lee 2nd Edition manual, p. 48 implies using a tumbler is...

I recently purchased a Loadbooks manual for .308 Win. Inside it publishes loads from various manuals, all for .308 Win. In the Nosler section, I was surprised to see the maximum load listed for IMR-4064, using a 180 grain bullet as: 44 grains, MV = 2,718 fps. Is this correct and not a...

I plan to get back into reloading after a VERY long break, primarily for a Browning X-bolt in .308 Win. One load I plan to develop is similar to Remington’s managed recoil (125 gr., MV= 2660), for hunting smaller deer out to 200 yards, plus fun to shoot, lower cost, target shooting. However...
