These are truly amazing rounds, check out the statistics below and the statement at the end. The muzzle velocity of a 120 mm APFSDS can vary depending on the model: 120mm APFSDS: Has a muzzle velocity of 1,790 m/s at +21°C 120mm Tank Gun KE Ammunition (APFSDS-T): Has a muzzle velocity of 1,740...

Get someone to run it in Quickload, if I were near my office computer I would check it out for you. Quickload works great for giving you an idea of what will work for things like this.

Add to that your ability to "feel" the caliper and know when you are measuring correctly.

Acceptable ignition and consistency are necessary for accuracy. Uniform flasholes are necessary for Consistency, some brass is manufactured with more attention to detail and Consistency. A side note, CCI is a trusted brand of 22 rimfire ammo, which demonstrates their ability to maint high levels...

https://kmshooting.com/product/expand-mandrel-prebuilt-kits/ I get mine here.

Everyone has pretty well covered it, as stated above it mostly depends on your needs. I have decided to use the bushing die, then a mandrel as the last step in case prep. It is easier for the case shoulder to support a mandrel being pushed in, than an expander ball pulling out. (especially if...

Before that they said similar things about the 308 Win and 30-06. I still laugh at what they have done to the 220 Swift velocities. I still have early 60's Winchester 220 Swift ammo, that on my Magnetospeed actually run 4100 fps! Now any Swift ammo you find is listed at 22-250 velocities. The...

I remember when there were only standard length actions, and magnum length actions (not too many of them.) If you wanted 300 Wby you needed a magnum action. Then Winchester came out with their 300 WM to fit in their standard action. It really didn't appeal to me then, and still doesn't. I have...

"Best to buy a long action set up for a 3.850" magazine." I have 4" mags, and would love 4-1/4" with my longer rounds. 4-1/4" would really help with the .338-.378 Wby.

I love the Berger 153.5's @ 3311 fps out of my 31" PRC. they'll go faster in the .264!

More powder, more velocity. More velocity, more range. It depends on your needs.

I have always loved the 220 Swift with a B&L Balvar 8, that my Dad bought for Fox hunting in 1958. I grew up shooting that gun at 200 yards using roofing nails in a board for targets! (His idea) And he was capable of that too! He liked the fact that if he could put the cross hairs on the Fox it...

It's easy for me, the same rifle I use for most all of my precision center fire shooting. I insert the caliber / barrel for the job, and everything else stays the same. It's short and very well balanced. This is with the 26" .338 LM barrel and Surefire suppressor 45" over all llength! No need...

.410 Browning Auto 5 .30-06 M14

This is the pic rail mount I started with, it is a commonly available PVS-14 night vision rifle mount. I got it cheap and cut the J arm off. I made an aluminum two piece clamp with enough extension to hold the LRF in the correct position. Two screws hold the clamp together around the Leica...
