Spectacular. His creation reveals his majesty.

I had read of this happening. I had 2lbs of 4451 and never had any issues with it before using it all up. Accuracy and velocity were good. The copper reduction claim I didn't see much if any effect.

With a 1-9 twist what have you found to be the heaviest and or longest bullet to stabilize in this twist? Traded up a 223 with this twist and the heaviest I have on hand and tried is the Sierra 69gr Match King which went straight thru the target no keyhole. Just curious what others have found...

My first deer rifle was a Rem 760 30-06 that I bought in high school working summers saving some money. It was the first rifle that I started reloading for. I traded it off only because my unlearned self-thought a bolt action was what was needed. Over the years I have owned different ones. My...

Have had three 6br rifles and used Lapua and Norma brass. Both work well. You will get many loading from each brand as the 6br lends itself to long case life.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that IF you can bust up a flock sit right there and start calling using the kee kee and loud yelps. Mouth calls are the easiest to make the kee kee on, but a slate can be used just need to practice with each. Younger birds are always the easiest to call in.

Fall turkey hunting whether gobblers or hens involves a lot of walking and calling. Walking looking for fresh scratching as you call periodically. Make sure to determine the direction the scratching is going. Keep easing along stopping, calling listening. Gobblers are harder to hunt in the fall...

Another thing to do to is make sure your empty brass after FL sizing, trimming will cycle thru your action and chamber without any issues. Just start the empty into the chamber then close the bolt onto it doing so with each piece. I use a FL die for my 35 Rem Mod 760 all the time without any...

Try the FL size die and if you are not satisfied then use the small base. We all have our favorites but personally I find that 150gr bullets work well in the 308 for deer and use them more often than 165gr in my 30-06 as well. Both good. Let the rifle show you which it groups best. Go from...

Unless you are shooting hundreds of rounds per year, your 308 will last years. Most hunters rarely shoot out a barrel.

Yes, it was a standard RCBS FL size die. I have also loaded for a Rem 742 30-06 semi-auto using same die type without any problems. As for Varget in your BAR 308 just start low and work up. If you want to get a better c.o.l. get one of Hornady's curved gauges that will allow you to get a better...

Great write up and had me going right along with you. Terrible about the mix up on guns and luggage but great that being with other handgun hunters paid off. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.

Go ahead use and enjoy it. You'll be glad you did.

Not a 308Win but I have loaded for a friend's BAR 30-06 using Sierra 180gr GameKing and H4895 without any problems of stability. Don't know the twist in that rifle nor if the same twist is used for 308 or 30-06. Used a full-length size die and each piece of brass fed and cycled perfectly. He...

Sorry Don. Continued prayers for you and your family. Not cancer related but my mom, sister and brother-in-law were under hospice care. They are wonderful caring people.
