Most of the manufacturers have been producing what is in high demand.You can't blame them,but a lot of the obscure calibers sold off the shelves a while back.I am still looking for .41 mag bullets from any of the manufactures.No luck yet.I am glad I cast my own bullets. :grin:
H4895 works well in the .308 as does IMR 3031.I have used both in my M1A National Match rifle with very good results.I believe you will find the recoil more pleasant on the .308 win.I haven't met too many cartridges that I didn't like , but the .308 is my all time favorite.I have four rifles...
I killed the largest whitetail buck that I have ever killed with a 742 30/06 when I was sixteen.I always had good luck with the rifle.It shot good for me, but I traded it on a Colt SSA some years later.Darn ,I wish I still had that Colt. :cry:I traded it for a Colt Lightning.Then I traded that...
Seconds on bullets are fine so long as the base of the bullet isn't scared or damaged.That is the most important part. It is the steering wheel of the bullet.I cast a lot of bullets and that is one criteria that I really look at when sorting them.It is probably more of a problem with flat base...
I use the RCBS run out gauge.It is fairly easy to use.

I really like the looks of that Hornady tool.I may have to check that out when they are available.
I have a Pre 64 Winchester featherweight in .308 win that will shoot 1/2" groups.I also have a Heym mannlicher 7X57 that will shoot around 3/4"
A Browning Hi Wall traditional hunter in .38/55 that will shoot around 1/2"
Just wondered if anyone here uses a turret press.If so ,do you like it? I bought a Redding T7 a while back. Just don't have room for it on my current bench.
Some of my hunting rifles will shoot 1/2" or better, but I find it to be the exception and not the rule.Some of my rifles are not going to shoot better than MOA no matter what I do.You may have one of those.You can try bedding the action and floating the barrel.Good luck.
Believe it or not I...
We have got a liberal bunch of turds up there right now. Notice the senate rejected the concealed weapons bill.If you travel from state to state you can have a gun but you damn sure better not get caught with it. The second amendment doesn't apply.
