    Fast barrel?

    Yeah, I just used the bc in the applied ballistics app, because it was the easiest way for me to look up any bc for that bullet. I could see if, say, you had a small weight on the scale (say, 5 grains) when it was zeroed, it could make you load actually heavier than what the scale said. Not...

    Fast barrel?

    If you were able to correctly verify that velocity at range, I don't care what the Chrono says. Physics won't ever be wrong. Now, wrong, inaccurate numbers and bad math can make it look like the physics are wrong though. If you're getting correct dope at 900 using that velocity, the only thing...

    300 RUM Shooters

    If you want the magic ground unicorn horn dust, that was ground on the second Wednesday after the blue moon, I hear n570 is the stuff. I wouldn't know though, I've never found any. Everything else is just looking for something that's close to it. Again, that's what I hear. That might be only for...

    Fast barrel?

    I'd be questioning my Chrono. 2-300 fps FASTER than published data, and, after I did a little reading, it sounds like people with your barrel length have a hard time getting anything over 2750, with a whole grain more than you are using. "Fast" barrels aren't usually that fast. Could it be...

    300 RUM Shooters

    I wish I ordered 570 while I had access to it. I lived close to an awesome reloading place. I'd walk in when you couldn't get h4350, and they almost always had some. Anything, other than n330, if I asked for it, they'd order it for me if they didn't have it. Oh, I miss that place... Helped being...

    300 RUM Shooters

    I've got 8133. I can't remember if I tested it or not, but I'm pretty sure I loaded some. (Since moved, etc, lots of other things) but I'm using 230's, either Berger's or a tips. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    300 RUM Shooters

    I'm currently using rl33. I got many opposing opinions on h1000/retumbo. I'd say get a pound and try. You'll go through it quick anyway Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Help with reloading set up

    There are various hand primers and bench mounted ones as well, ranging from 20 bucks, to over 100, if you want to get fancy. They pretty much all work the same. I like the Lee hand primer, others the rcbs. Pick you color. You'll want to get extra decapping pins for your dies. You'll break one...

    Found a load

    I take it that's at 100? Good Chrono numbers. Try it at 300 yards. Do you have any actual questions though? Just gotta shoot it and see if it keeps up. Looks pretty promising though Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    How compressed is too compressed?

    I'd creep up on it, watching for pressure. .1-.2 grains at a time. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    How compressed is too compressed?

    Best way to find out is load a few and give them a few weeks. You will want to run a little more neck tension. Then maybe save one and have it be the last round in a mag, when you get to it, measure it to see if the bullet has moved. That's the best way I can think of to be certain. But, if...

    Strategy for dealing with temperature

    I just take it out in the general conditions its going to be a little before I actually go and make sure it's at least close Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Strategy for dealing with temperature

    True. You really only need minute of elk accuracy not 600 yard clovers. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Strategy for dealing with temperature

    Here's what I do. Develop your load in the summer. You'll get the highest pressures then, so no matter what, unless you end up on a star, you'll be safe. Then, track your temperature and MV. Usually in 10 ish degree spreads, and plot a graph. That will get you your mv increase per degree. Apps...

    Coal/cbto

    Weight consistency matters. You can point and trim meplats. Easy. I'd spend my time wight sorting, then trim and point the meplat vs sort by bearing surface. It's ignorant to say someone else's approach is stupid. More than one way to skin a cat Now, the best of both worlds is to buy CNC...

    Coal/cbto

    Coal will vary because the die pushes on the ogive, and bullet shapes aren't identical and length can vary, especially with otm bullets. Seat and measure cbto, that's the critical dimension anyway. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    First go at once fired pt 2: Primer pockets

    I only clean primer pockets on my long range precision loads. And then it's a pocket brush that I Chuck up in a drill. Depending on the cartridge I grab a couple in a hand and hit them all and grab a new handful. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Best loads NOT near max charge odd?

    I've run a number of "middle of the book" loads that were great, but couldn't find a faster node that is accurate, other times, the only accurate one I find is hot. It all depends on your shooting. Do you need the extra speed? Or is a slower load going to be fine? When I'm working with ELR loads...

    Questions I lose sleep over

    The key to the game is consistency in everything. Using annealing as an example, the more consistent and exact you can get the brass to the annealing temperature, and for the correct time, every time, the better results you'll get. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Questions I lose sleep over

    If the brass is over annealed, you might be able to get a bushing a few thou smaller. Size a case and measure the od and compare it to what it should be based off the bushing. Then get the bushing you need, and after a while you could go back to the correct one. I guess that only works if you...
