Thanks Bart Bart got back to me and saved the day. Mr Sauter, thank you very much!!!

Could someone measure the bullet over all length and the bullet base to olgive on their Barts Ultra 22 cal 52 grain bullets. Example; Berger’s 52 grain FB match bullets are about .705 in overall length and their bullet base to olgive is about .258. I’m having a barrel cut and I need to...

Is anyone switching barrels on their Ruger American? What are you using to unscrew the lock nut and what are you using to hold the action. I would greatly appreciate some advice. I've changed barrels back and forth on my benchrest rifles hundreds of times. There we clamp the barrel and put a...

Looks like Varget and 4895 are the first one’s to try. Thanks.

If Varget is the go to powder for the 308 with 168 grain @ 600 yards, what is the top two powders recommended for the .223 at 600 yards using Berger 80 grain VLD using a tight chamber & a 1 in 8 twist. Thanks, Bill.

Does anyone know where can I find one of Tom Sellars Sure fire Ammo Caddies or something similar for PPC. I'm coming back after a two year medical situation and getting closer ever day to being able to hang paper at 200 yards. So what do you do during a two year layoff? You spend money...

Thanks for that. Lapping compound and the same shell holder we use to turn brass did cross my mind but not knowing how to approach the difference in the metal hardness had me stymied. I have most accuracy geek gun books the most recent being Mike Ratigan and Boyer's book. But I don't have...

I believe you're right Centerfire. Buying a reamer for a sizing die to size the cases to match the bore is the only practical solution. I have two fresh barrels chambered with this reamer so its economically practical for me to go that way. Seriously, I'm just concerned about working the...

My concern is about over sizing. pushing the shoulders back +.003 seems a lot to me and I would rather have the faith in a Harrell sizing die that pushes pack to chamber dimensions +/- .001. I'm just getting to anal about this. Maybe I should just buy a heavier sizing press and slam the cases...

I'm setting up a .308 for F/TR competition. I'm using a Type S Redding bushing die and the Krieger barrel that was chambered by a trusted gunsmith. Cases that are fire-formed measure .4561 at the shoulder. Saami specifications for the .308 Winchester looks to be .4539. After forcing the...

Fasinating Velocity Sweet Spots I find this incredibly interesting. My site searches turned up velocities from 2,610 fps to 2,829 fps for accuracy with the .308. For me to reach that spread I have to load 41.5 to 45 grains with the bottle of Varget I'm using. Sure is a spread from what I'm...

Understanding all barrels, conditions, user error will vary; what velocity have you found to be the sweet spot for accuracy with a .308 caliber, light varmint 27.5” Krieger, Varget powder and Sierra 168 grain Match King bullets. Thanks, Bill.

Thanks very much to all. Turned out the program I have required a left swipe and it allowed me to adjust (or duplicate) for ammo data. I can adjust velocity, zero, etc. THANKS VERY MUCH. First impression is that it's a good program. Bill.

Regarding "Applied Ballistics" software. Could anyone confirm that if I have an ammo built for a velocity of 2725 (168 grain Sierra MK) and I adjust my load to 2675 fps the only way I can go that route is to create an entirely new ammo profile. Example everything the same but one profile is...

Thanks. I checked to see if there was an update but none was available. I am still digging through this and hope I see some daylight. Heck all we need is an approximate point of impact at x distance then chart my own ballistic chart. And I've given Applied Ballistics a hard look and if...

I have on an off and on success with setting the scope zero to a specific yardage using "Shooter" ballistic software. Per the manual if I go to the "Ammo", then edit the profile of that ammunition and enter the "Zero Range" to be 200 yards. When I "Calculate" I expect the calculated U or D at...

So I'm going with Premium Metal Tapping Fluid - 16 FL. OZ. Threading and Cutting Oil since it was on Amazon since I could get it by Tuesday. We'll see how things go, In my heart the recommendation of sizing wax or Neilson's recommendation of one quart of 10 w 50 synthetic and 16 ounces of...

Now that I retired I have a little more time and I'm getting back to cutting my own brass. Its been 20+ years since I did it with a K&M. Actually two K&M's. One for the first cut and a second for the final cut to get to .00088 for PPC BR shooting. Now I have a Neilson's Pumpkin and just...

I'm going to fall back until I get it zeroed. At this time I'm pretty sure something is crossed up. I agree the 20 MOA rail should put me in the neighborhood of 17 to 20 MOA when zeroed at 100 yards. I'll post what I find. Half of the fun is figuring out stuff like this. Thanks for the...

OK that makes sense. But I'm using a Schmidt & Bender 12-50x56 PM II/P which has 75MOA elevation. The SB PM has an elevation turret that has five rotations. Each rotation then means I have 15 minutes of elevation. If I am bore sighted at 100 yards and I'm starting the fourth rotation that...
