Do you need any 150 gr Ballistic Tips? The people on this forum have been really good to me and others. With that said and keeping with the spirit of Christmas, I have a couple of boxes that I will gift you. Let me know!

Welcome aboard!

Hmm, I had the same issue with 7mm08 brass from Lapua. The guy I talked to said that they wouldn't replace them and that they were fine to use. He did recommend that I tumble them first, though!

I'm in the process of doing the same thing. I have a dedicated room that is 11x16 with a walk in closet. I know that I will have about an 8' long bench and another 3-4' to attach my vises to.

Thanks for your help!

Here are a few pics....I had to resize them to be able to post.

Dr. Mike or anyone with Quickload....can you run a request for me? I'm loading 300 Winchester Magnum with Hornady brass, WLRM primers, 212 gr Hornady ELD-X bullets, and using some older Accurate Magnum Rifle Powder. Cartridge overall length is going to be 3.60". Hopefully, that powder is...

Awesome!

I've used all three brands. If money is not a problem, then go with the Lapua. The Hornady brass was good but lately, I've gotten some bad pieces. The Starline is probably the best value for the money.

My favorite combo is 150 gr BT over 44.0 gr of H414, CCI 200, Remington case, seated to 2.80" OAL. I get an average of 2700 fps from my 26" barrel 700 VLS and easy sub-MOA groups.

Very good question...LOL! No flinching here. It has a nice recoil pad, I can still feel it but not as bad as when the original wood stock was on it. I think with the help from you all, I have solved this issue. I seated the bullets deeper and it has tightened up significantly. It's...

The mounts are tight, scope is good, and I will eventually skim bed the stock. The current stock has a full length aluminum block. The barrel is free floating and the action is torqued in at 55 in lbs. I can't get to the rifling without the accubond falling out of the case. It seems that...

I've shot weights all the way up to 60.5 gr. It literally got worse and worse, like 6" groups at 100. Having already tried IMR 4895 and IMR 8208 along with Varget, I'm almost ready to change bullets.

I've settled on 57.7 gr if Varget. The velocity is averaging 2680 fps with a SD of 11. I've also seated the bullets deeper. They are now sitting at 3.330". I'll see what tomorrow morning brings at the range.

I'm using standard RCBS dies. They have a tapered expander. My runout is measuring right around .002".
