    Binding of new brass without sizing die for .280AI

    I am working on reloading prior to going out west and today at the range I noticed my .280AI bolt was tough to close when chambering a new round. So this evening I have taken new brass (nosler) resized the new brass and it is a tight fit to close the bolt. I then took some already once fired...

    7mm-08 speeds slow

    When you get the muzzle velocity from the manufacture how is this measured? Would the Caldwell chrono measure to similiar speeds right from the muzzle? Caldwell suggested 10-15 away from the muzzle

    7mm-08 speeds slow

    Just started working up a load for my 7mm-08 and I just bought a chromo graph and my loads seem to be about 150ft slower than what nosler has for the reloading data. Any reason why this would be? I did have my chronograph set roughly 7ft from the muzzle.

    Brass different lengths

    Getting ready to do my first reloading of my fired brass. The reloading books specs out 2.525 OAL in length. Almost, all of my fired brass measures the same as the new brass I have 2.510-2.512 OAL. Is this common or do I need to do something else?

    Old reloading books vs website

    I have some older reloading books and for my 7mm-08 the max varget load is 43. Now on the nosler website the max is 45. Which max load would you think is correct, and why the increase is max powder charge?

    Hornday Comparative

    New to reloading, and I have bought the hornday comparative kit. Does this kit really help with measuring the overall length? For some reason I am having a hard time understanding how this tool actually works to make sure I am not over sizing or unseeing sizing my cartridge? Any answers are...

    7mm08 set up for reloading

    Looking for some input on what to set my COAL for a 7mm08. I can chamber and cycle dummy rounds from 2.850-2.900 with out issue the factory brand ammo all measured between 2.750 and 2.780. Is there any reason to be longer than the SAMI standards?

    First timer bullet selection

    I have a buddy going elk hunting with me this year, and just bought his first rifle. Took him to the range and started to get him familiar with his firearm. The bullets he brought out were the Winchester whitetail/ deer bullets and the hornady whitetail bullets. I use Barnes or nosler in all of...

    .280AI point of impact

    Wondering if someone can help me with some ballistic POI. I am running 150gr Barnes TTSX running at 2875fps. Can someone help find where the bullet is parallel and then starts to drop. With this calculation I then want to go to the range to verify.
