In reference to the bold and italic section of this. I do seat half way and turn I wasn’t taught this, well I wasn’t taught anything about reloading I learned it myself, but I also just picked up a match seating die I think it’s a forrester die but it could be Redding and my intent was to get...

I did make changes at .010 increments that’s what got me to 3.28-3.34 and then from there did .001

I don’t remember off the top of my head what the chamber measurement is but the COL max is 3.34 to fit the magazine. The last 6 rounds I fired were 3.32. I did a thorough cleaning with the 8000 grit paste and kroil but also scrubbed the barrel with a bronze brush and MC7. I bought a bore scope...

I don’t quite fully understand seating depth. I obviously know what it is but I never understand how to find optimal for accuracy changes. I typically find my magazine length and chamber length first then just start longer and work my way shorter in .010 increments but I honestly don’t see much...

Just shoot the ones on the other mountain….

I agree. Past the round count of load development it will be only a few rounds annually since this will be a hunting rifle only. Even LR hunting I may not do that every year it just depends on how much crops are lost in that field. This year they ate 1/2acre of sweet corn and 6 acres of feed...

So in the recent months I did some long range hunting on the farm. First time shooting anything this far. 2 deer one at 580yds heart shot dropped her where she stood and the 2nd at 680 yds through some trees at the top of the field another heart shot but she ran about 80yds before she dropped...

So I made some loads for my tikka t3x 308win using imr4895. They shot well but I’m going to shorten up my seating depth to get more consistency in groups. I loaded 44.0gr at 2.82” which is mag length max and rifle chamber measured 2.91”. I got no signs of overpressure at all and unfortunately...

I think seating depth would help you maybe shorten them up just a bit .02-.03 also let the barrel cool a little longer before you take the third shot. When shooting for groups give the barrel 3-5 min between the second and third shot I found this helps me

I’m shooting the same rifle as the OP and I’ve used H4831 with great accuracy and was able to squeeze 2950 out of it but it shoots fireballs in darker parts of the day. I’ve switched to R22 and run it around the same speed 2930 without the fireball. I’ve had great speeds with imr7828 not ssc and...

There’s an old joke How do you know when a woman orgasms? …who cares!!!

I would love a redhead with lots of money and can cook anything I ask for

I’ve got 5lbs of each and we will start the bidding at $100 per pound Baaadddaaababbbaaaaababaaaa do I hear $100 badddaaaabababaaadaddaaa $125

I’ve got the same rifle in the same caliber and it is my favorite rifle. It is thee one I will not sell no matter what and hopefully my son will use it as he gets older and give it to his son when I’m long gone. Great find

On a 130# doe at 70yds a 130gr AB from a 270 was dropped right there on a double lung shot. Moving roughly 3000fps
