    BL-C (2) in .308 Win - What the heck???

    I have been traveling so just now got back to this. Thanks to all those that are giving good input. Before I left, I found a few once fired winchester cases so for giggles I tried a few. 51 grains, which filled the Federal cases to the rim, filled the Win cases to the bottom of the neck. 56...

    BL-C (2) in .308 Win - What the heck???

    I am using once-fired Federal cases. I also understand compressed loads, so there is no need to be condescending. I have done compressed loads in both smokeless and black powder. At 51 grains with no settling, the powder comes right to the top of the case and, with settling, drops about 3/16 of...

    BL-C (2) in .308 Win - What the heck???

    I am trying to work up a load for my 308 using Barnes 130 TSX. The manual from Barnes says a max charge of 56 grains. No way that will fit! I went to Hodgdon's website and they say 51 grains. That goes to the rim of the case and I have to tap the case to get it to settle enough to fit a bullet...

    Switching from copper to copper jacket and vise versa -- Causing Issues?

    I suspect it also depends on the powder used. The CFE line and others have copper removal agents.

    Switching from copper to copper jacket and vise versa -- Causing Issues?

    I have heard from three talking heads that switching between copper monolithic and copper jacketed without scrubbing the barrel to bare metal can cause resistance issues and make accuracy suffer. In my quest to find the best load for my new 7 PRC I load up rounds during the week and shoot them...

    Sub-MOA factory Rifles? Which do you prefer?

    If you purchased a new non-custom rifle today, which would it be? Savage 110, Ruger Hawkeye Hunter, Browning, Winchester, Springfield Armory, Christensen Arms, Seekins Precision... I am interested in the 7 PRC. I don't have an unlimited budget, so $2K or less is the figure for the rifle alone.

    Remington Large Rifle Magnum Primer Issues

    I bought 1K of Remington LRM primers at a show. I have been trying to develop 7 PRC loads and work on my 7 Rem Meg simultaneously. Of the 20 loads I made, nine failed to fire. I pulled the loads and found the primers unfired. I called Remington and they claimed since I bought them at a show...

    Lack of load data for 7mm prc from Nosler

    My rifle doesn't like them. But my rifle doesn't like any factory ammo. The Base to tip is 3.203". I will get the Base to ogive today.

    Nosler is producing the 7 PRC with the 175 ABLR. I got three boxes last week.
