I've been fl sizing all my 308 and 7 mag even though they are fired from same rifle. Is neck sizer only any advantage other than saving brass life?

I can't seem to get good clover leaf patterns as I expected this rifle should do. Tried to upload all five images but forum only allows 3. Others where worse. sad to say that Remington SPS had these beat. Coal of Nosler BT was 2.801. Coal of Sierra Game kings was 2.7 give or take. They don't...

I'm curious of accuracy between what I use at bench which is Uncle Buds Bull Bag and shooting from bi pod with rear bag. Depending on burr at range I am either having bull bag on bench or putting 2x2's under it. Never seems level. I have taken a deer at 515 yards with 257 weatherby off a bi pod...

Been looking at some IMR 3031. Anyone had any luck in 308 with this? Been using varget, benchmark, and Reloader 15. Loaded some varget 44 gr and 150 gr Nosler bt. Filled bass pretty full. Used 43.5 of the reloader 15. Brass still really full. Shot one of each at the house before going to the...

Since started reloading for 7 mag and 308 I'm thinking of another trade. Have smith and Wesson M and P sport AR. Sits in safe more than it gets shot. Don't reload for it or intend to. Wanting a 7-08 but have considered the 6.5x55. Would be another deer gun. Really like the short bolt on the...

Do you trim before fl sizing or after.

Read some articles of breaking new barrels in. This is first new gun in a long time. Swapped out Remington sps for it in same 308 caliber since that's what I'm reloading. Not really understanding how long or what process to break in new stainless rifle. Going to clean good and get all packing...

Strange CVA rifle. CVA Blazer. Has nipple at end of barrell like inline. Had it in safe about 15 years never fired. Looks as is someone cut a stock out and mounted barrel in it. No breech to unscrew. Couldn't find any Elephant ffg that I used years ago. Bought some triple seven and loaded up 70...

I looked through a buddy's at the range last week. My Nikon prostaff with mil dot reticle in 4x12 was making target fuzzy at anything over 10 power. Adjusted ocular until reticle was clear. Also didn't have adjustable objective. Crosshairs were too thick to put on dime size target without...

Got dies and trimmer for husbands 7 mag today. Any recommendations on a very accurate powder. Looks like IMR 4831 and reloader 20 is what most people post along with several Hodgdon powders. Not looking for maximum velocity or super long range. Wanting super accuracy. Thinking of starting with...

Have Remington 700 ADL. Needs 3 screw trigger job and wonder if anyone could help with the barrell twist. 7 mm Remington magnum. Getting ready to reload some ammo and wondering if it will shoot 139 grain Hornady SST okay. I had the 7 mag in a Tikka hunter and it really liked 165 gr Sierra Game...

Saw this in action today. Seems really easy but not sure how accurate. I've tried soot. Sharpie. My cartridge. Don't have the feel for it.

I'm new as can be but I'm not going to gripe about these. Only 75 yards as that's as long as the range was but I may stick with this powder and go up and down some grains to experiment.

This is a picture which I hope you can see. These are 308 win cases full length sized on lee single stage press using Lee die. It is a mixture of Hornady and Nosler factory ammo I had fired from my rifle. The Hornady has been sized twice. The Nosler was just resized for the first time...

Finally took this die apart. Sprayed it with some Remington oil. Took 40 caliber bore swap and cleaned the inside. Cleaned stem the same way. Wasn't too dirty but everyone says every fifty rounds. Ran bore patch thru until clean. Cleaned pin and expander same way. Sprayed some Hornady one shot...

Before I bought all the Lee stuff for the progressive press I watched a lot of you tube videos concerning this lube. It's all I've used so far but my kit came with a tube of Lee lube. Tried it on one case earlier and it's almost like wax paste in a few seconds. The one shot feels more like a...

Just started but I was only able to find winchester primers. Wanting to try cci. Had one failure to fire at range today. Always used cci in my blackpowder without any failure. Any preferences on primers?

Been doing some loading tonight and trying to seat 165 grain 308 at oal of 2.570. It's was consistent. Second was 2.571 and last one was 2.5695. Are these bad out of specs or is this best I can expect with calipers. Not high dollar set but has been consistent on trim size.

Haven't loaded anything yet. Just got Lee challenger kit. Couple of calipers and have digital scale other stuff coming tomorrow. Been reading for a month to buy and get started. Everything I read for reloading 308 calls for varget powder. Went and bought powder but lol they had was hodgdon...
