    Reloading 2.0 Guidance Requested

    I value my hands/face/eyesight more than I value components, so in that regard I'll continue starting low and working up slowly any time I'm working with an unknown, whether that unknown is a new barrel, new components, or the same components from a different lot number. If others think that's...

    Freebore, COAL, and chambering specs a miss!

    Do those capital letters include a G, a P, and a T, in no particular order?

    Freebore, COAL, and chambering specs a miss!

    Any of those 175s you list is definitely a long jump. Only way to eliminate the variable of excessive jump is to seat some long, load them individually and test for groupings.

    Freebore, COAL, and chambering specs a miss!

    Does your barrel have an appropriate twist for the 175 gr bullets? I kinda doubt the jump is ruining your accuracy. Just out of curiosity have you measured the approximate coal if you were to seat the bullet with the base of bearing surface at the shoulder/neck junction? It probably won't fit...

    Entertaining discussion, but what I really want to know is yes or no on the manbun?

    Powder Measure

    https://leeprecision.com/powder-measure-kit This works well with all types of powder, and it's good to have as a backup in any case. It's not super fast but gets the job done.

    Fiocchi primers?

    I can't speak about their rifle primers as I've never seen them anywhere, but I have gone thru a brick of their standard small pistol primers and would buy more of them.

    Help! Short chamber in 280AI ???????

    Also keep in mind monos should be loaded a bit deeper than a cup & core bullet with an identical ogive to avoid a potential pressure spike if loaded too close to the lands. Barnes recommends a min. 0.05" jump for their monos, so their recommended c.o.a.l. for the TTSX and LRX likely includes...

    Any Las Vegas Area Residents?

    It's only hot in Vegas maybe 3-4 months out of the year from June to September. The rest of the year you can't beat it with a stick. Big game tags have been scarce the last couple years due to drought conditions. Hoping this coming year will be much better.

    Help! Short chamber in 280AI ???????

    I was looking over my notes on a recent barrel replacement for my 6.5 Swede. I loaded 2 dummy rounds to the same c.b.t.o. length and asked the smith to throat it for 0.050" jump to the lands based on the lengths I provided, since mono bullets tend to like some jump. One round was a Barnes 127...

    Help! Short chamber in 280AI ???????

    Sorry, I should try reading. I see you called them already. I've heard some brands of reamers have very little freebore, while some have more. Unfortunately it sounds like you didn't specify a custom throat so they chamberer it standard for their reamer. Barnes all copper bullets tend to run...

    Help! Short chamber in 280AI ???????

    I would call Sterling and let them know. It all depends on the reamers they use, which may or may not be saami spec. Did you provide them with a dummy round (no primer or powder) loaded with your bullet at your desired c.o.a.l. when they chambered the barrel?

    Caliber Choice On New Rifle

    Lots of great bullet choices in .264 and .284. Can't go wrong with either choice. If you don't hand load, I would consider a 7-08 or 6.5CM, or even .243. Should be a lot of factory ammo choices for each.

    Digital Caliper question

    Purchased my Mitutoyo caliper several years ago from Global Test Supply. It has always worked perfectly. Sorry to hear about your experience, but that's the reason I don't buy anything off ebay.
