  1. Favorite powder/loads for .308 18" 1/10 auto?

    You can also substitute RE15 or Varget for the 4895's and tune the load for the 168's in your particular rifle. Alex
  2. Single Shot Actions: Who Runs One and Do I Need One?

    Bully, If I may suggest, the .223 is a good idea to pursue, however IMHO the PURE .243 IS NOT. I would strongly recommend you re-consider and go with a 6mmbr. It is a much more accurate cartridge than a PURE .243 which is a great caliber for hunting, but doesn't cut it when shooting...
  3. Welcome to the Reloading Forum -- Introduce Yourself

    Welcome aboard! I happened to notice the "post" firearms instructor part. Does that acronym mean what I think it does? I too am retired leo and having the time of my life after 31+ yrs here in So Cal (actually up here in the High Desert now).
  4. What do I do next?

    ebb, Last time I looked, Bullets.com was selling various sized ammo boxes at a discounted rate. BTW, nobody can save you...it's too late like the rest of us. Alex
  5. Do you clean barrel between different powders during load workup???

    +1. Without cleaning, you do not get an accurate read on the powder you've gone to. Alex
  6. Opinions on new rifle barrels.

    jackson1, If you will note, folks have listed several different barrel manufacturers who've made them very happy. So you can be sure, that there is a fair list of barrel makers you can choose from and expect to get a really good barrel. It is really pretty much in which barrel makers an...
  7. Bullet sorting tool?

    Congrats..you made the right choice. IMHO Bob;s are second to none. Alex
  8. Scope mount advice wanted

    I have their 20 MOA bases on two different rifles that have Leupold 35X and 45X Competition Scopes. The EGW rails are stout, precisely made and work extremely well holding the high end Leupold 30mm rings. Works for me. Alex
  9. Question about new .243 brass and tight bolt closing

    I didn't take anyone's word for it. I've tested all brass on the market since I've been reloading. And I quit using Winchester Brass because it couldn't compete in the long haul. You are in the infants stages of loading that brass. Tell me how good your Winchester Brass holds when you've...
  10. Rem .223 AR15 trying to reduce total indicated runout

    Frig man!!!! Those are some awesome groups. Heck with he brass! I'd shoot that baby with all the Lapua I could muster. Can't really ask for more than that. SImply awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alex
  11. 6mm BR no turn reamer suggestions

    Handlebar, If I were in your shoes, I'd call Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge and discuss with him what you want in which rifle and for what purpose. He can get you started on getting the right reamer(s) for the right job and caliber. As tn6br points out above, he runs a freebore to...
  12. Rem .223 AR15 trying to reduce total indicated runout

    Richard, That's completely changing the issue. The OP is shooting a .223/5.56 Armalite, NOT a custom built AR in 6mm. That is hardly comparing apples to apples. Alex
  13. Question about new .243 brass and tight bolt closing

    IMHO, Iif it were Lapua Brass, I'd say no to resizing unfired Brass. And you probably wouldn't experiencing what you've run into. But because it's Winchester brass, you have just experienced one of the differences in the quality of the two brass makers. Take the loaded Winchester Brass rounds...
  14. Rem .223 AR15 trying to reduce total indicated runout

    Good Morning Guys, Just logged on and caught this thread. My first question to the OP (dsbur) is, why are you going through all the details steps in GAS GUN ammo prepping, that you'd employ in a precision Benchrest Rifle? A GAS GUN is NEVER gonna shoot as accurately as a Benchrest Rifle...
  15. Jewell trigger for Remington 700

    That's the ticket. Put one in my 30BR built around a Rem 700 action. That baby is not only deadly accurate, but that Jewell is tuned way down and a sneeze will SEND IT! And she's smooth as silk. Alex
  16. Rock chucker or Lyman Crusser II

    Jim, Probably because I don't reload for a 50 Cal. And don't tell my son about the Ultra Mag or else he'll pester me to death because he wants me to buy him a Barrett. AIN'T HAPPENIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alex
  17. Rock chucker or Lyman Crusser II

    Consider this, when I first started out reloading many years ago, I bought a used Rockchucker and she'll still alive and well today. But then I discovered that a Redding Big Boss is much more convenient to use as it has an "open face" to the shell holder and is easier to insert casings of all...
  18. Bench top primer tools

    Mark, I didn't mean to infer that some folks don't have to use a Bench type Primer Seater because of health or physical restraints. What I was saying and referring to was a (comparison) super expensive Bench Priming Tool that sells for $600 (PrimalRights.com) and the flawed notion that such...
