Nice shooting Jory. I'm still waiting for my 6 BRA, its in the build process. Have you tried Varget? I'm curious since I have two jugs on hand in case in comes. Have you tried the 105 Bergers yet? Currently using the 6 BR / Varget / 105 VLD in the 2850 fps range. Do you just fire form 6 BR...

You missed one, just kidding Guy. Good shooting right there.

It's too slow to use light bullets for the big 7, I have used 160 Accubonds with Retumbo. Mostly used RL22 from 140-160 grain bullets.

New brass have slightly smaller volume / internal capacity than fireformed brass, like RL mentioned, start from the starting load and work up, its the safest way to do it. You can find a tune using new brass until you shot all 100 pieces and final tune your loads after its fireformed.

jimbires is spot on, Different rifles have different chamber lengths and throats, not a good idea to use someone else's data on seating depths for your rifle. This tool can help you greatly. Lock N Load OAL Gauge to check seating depth and CBTO. https://www.hornady.com/modified-cases#!/ I...

Some people are idiots, when I had a deer lease back in the days, there was this lease just an hour away, loaded with nilgai, deer and hogs, the owner had a son who was an obnoxious little prick who was collecting extra money driving one day hunters around in his truck on hunting roads during...

It's why I use Lapua brass in all my rifles, except my 6.5 Creed which uses Nosler. As soon as my brass is toasted, I'm switching to Lapua. Pistol brass I use Starline P+, great brass too.

Do you anneal?

I use Nosler brass for my 6.5 Creed since it was the only one I could find at that time, works so well and consistent banging steel out to 1000 yards, and I used Nosler brass for my old 7STW a ways back, it gave me the fits chambering new brass, half of the brass would not chamber after sizing...

I used to have a Browning BPS pump gun with a 30 inch barrel, bought some 3 and a half inch magnum #6 shells for ducks and that thing kicks so hard that I only shot about 10 rounds that morning, but it does have lots of reach. I have tried a few double aught and rifle slugs for giggles at...

H110 rocks in the .41 and .44 What would be your velocity window? 1400-1450 fps?

That is interesting. I had tried to use the ABLR long ago for a rifle and it was so fussy to find the accuracy I wanted but gave up on it. Those bullets do have a high BC.

Wow, that Ronin interchangeable system is very nice stuff. My Kimbers are the older models, but still looking new. Shoots great with the Holosuns on it as well. I like the newer models where it already has the ramp feature to install the Holosuns.

Yes, minds think alike, I was looking around for a 308 die without the bushing and found a RCBS die from like 20 years ago. I'll clean that one up and size a few pieces and see what the readings are.

Very nice shooting Guy. I had two Holosuns installed on my Kimber .38 Super and .45 a couple months ago, it had to have the rear sight knocked out to install a base in the dovetail to be able to adapt the Holosun. I see you still have that rear sights on yours behind the Holosun. I have...

Good that you brought it up, measured 6 fired .308 Lapua cases, they all measured .0005" or less. Mostly barely any movement on the dial indicator.

Mandrel will be the next step and I'll check run out again, first I'll check the concentricity of the case neck thickness.

Yes, barely can hear it, I backed off the bushing by a quarter turn and the bushing numbers are facing down. The fired case measures .341 on the neck, and the bushing is a .336, that gives me .005" size down, and its .338 loaded. I could try a .337 bushing if I have one , but the .307 mandrel...

Keep us posted on your results with the 550 in the .308, I'm curious. 550 is an high energy powder.

I recall using N165 for my 7 Mag a long time ago, it was the only VV powder I used. I have read that VV has gained popularity these days. I am curious on what VV powders are liked for the .308 and 6mm BR. I use Varget currently for those two calibers. I read that N140, N540 and N550 is great...
