I've never had blown primers from factory ammo. Normally it would be worn primer pockets or too hot of a load. Not sure on the factory ammo. Try some other ammo to make sure it's not something with the rifle. If other ammo is fine I would reach out to Federal to see if they had issues with...

Unlikely to have issues with the change in your load in your 308. Not overheating your barrel will help.

I read it and chose to ignore it. It wasn't bad but not productive. I think you choosing to voluntarily removing it shows great character. Don't see that often on Internet forums.

Older thread but I'd say it is clearly working for them. I bought some solid base component bullets to use in my 7x57 Mauser. It's a 95 Mauser so I keep pressures low. Like a simple bullet for it and this should work. I see it as a good option for people to buy some practice ammo and have...

It sounds like other primers work just fine. Might be worth emailing Remington and providing the lot number. Just confirm they didn't have a bad batch or anything. If they did they should replace. Probably not the case but for the time it takes to send one email worth it in my mind.

I guess I would say there is no need to switch from the 280 Rem if you are happy with it. Me personally though if I am rebarreling anyway I would do the 280 Ackley Improved. Pick whichever you like and be happy with it.

If you are rebarreling anyway I agree with JD338. You may as well get a 208 Ackley Improved. Get 100-200 fps more. You can fire form your 280 Rem brass and I think 280 AI factory ammo is just as available (though maybe more $). I have a 270 win with a barrel almost shot out. I'm debating...

If you know anyone using a magnum I bet they'd be interested in the RL26. Almost seems a shame to shoot it in the 270.

I don't think the 6.5 Creedmoor needs a 24" Barrel. Generally speaking a longer barrel will be beneficial for velocity. I don't think you can equate your gun not shooting a 140 grain bullet to the barrel length. I don't know what bullets you have tried. Nothing wrong with using the 120...

I've been impressed by the accuracy in them so far. They shot well at multiple charge weights when I was trying loads. I did not previously sort based on Ogive. I did yesterday based on someone's suggestion. I'm glad to hear so many positive results with them. Gives me a little more...

I assumed there already was one.

How did the bullet hold up? Notice a difference in meat damage compared to others?

Hello, I'm curious how many people have experience with the Accubonds Long Range on game? I've used Ballistic tips, Partitions, and Accubonds before. Never any issues with the Partitions. Accubonds held together well but had a few break up. Ballistic tips I went away from due to meat...

The Hodgdon data was a good starting point. I loaded up to it's Max load. Most of the charges were very accurate. No pressure signs that I could detect with my rifle at Max load. Very accurate and good SD. I was happy to see these shot well from my rifle. I had heard ABLR's were finicky...
