    GA Precision built REM 700 in 30-06. **PICS & Report**

    I sent my REM 700 SPS to GA Precision for some upgrade work and got it back last week. I wanted a precision rifle that I'm still able to hunt with, so weight was taken into consideration. Here's what I ended up going with: - Bartlein 26" barrel, #4 contour, 1:11.25 twist - PTG Serengeti 30-06...

    Ways to make a digital scale more reliable?

    I'm currently using a Dillon digital scale to weigh my powder charges. I like the size and the ease of use..., and the fact that it matches all my other Dillon stuff.... But it seems to be pretty inconsistent when used with the power adapter plugged in. I haven't used it enough with just...

    The head stamp thread

    I'm curious about a few head stamps I came across sorting brass today. I figured I would make a thread and maybe we can all offer info about certain head stamps. Like who makes them and if there are any known issues with a particular head stamp. I know there's a list decoding head stamps out...

    Reloading 223: Swage before or after resizing?

    I just ordered all the remaining items I will need to start reloading 223. I'm a Dillon guy so I got the Super Swage 600 to take care of those pesky primer crimps. I plan to have 2 tool heads for this set up. Tool head #1 will have the resizing/decapping die in station 1 and the Dillon RT1200B...

    Will a Forster Ultra Seating Die work on a Dillon 550?

    I really want to get one of these dies. I know it will fit in the toolhead, my concern is its compatability with the shellplate... Will it work?

    Need your opinions on a couple Christmas presents for myself

    I'm getting tired of using a powder trickler to weight my charges and am looking at getting an automatic powder dispenser. Which one do you guys like the best? I'm also considering a Sinclair concentricity gauge, but can't decide between the dial indicator or the digital indicator. Help me...

    How to handle new brass?

    I've been reloading lately with fire-formed Black Hills and Nosler 308WIN brass. I recently ordered some Lapua 308 brass and would like to know how to handle it when I get it. Should I just load it up with some bullets without resizing it and shoot them to fire-form them? Or should I measure a...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    I've been posting a lot lately but my brain is a sponge right now and you guys always provide the knowledge. I wanna talk about all the different things folks do when reloading for maximum precision accuracy. What I'm gonna do is list some things I've seen folks do and ask for your input on the...

    Talk me out of buying a small base sizing die

    So I'm getting my feet wet loading 308 for my AR-10. I posted a thread a week or so ago and a member mentioned using a small based sizing die. I'm currently using Dillon dies and have loaded 50 rounds with them. All rounds fired perfectly in my AR-10. But the comment about the die got me worried...

    My first experience loading 308 for an AR-10

    So I have a GA Precision GAP-10 that I'm going to start reloading for. I've got plenty of Nosler brass, Mil brass, Black Hills brass, and some headstamped RP. I got some Sierra MK 175g HPBT bullets for punching paper and some Barnes 180g TSX bullets for hunting. I'll load the Barnes bullets...

    Dillon must be caught up on 308 dies

    I went to my local shooting range yesterday and I like to peruse their reloading section before I shoot. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had 3 sets of Dillon 308 steel die sets and conversion kits. I quickly grabbed a die set since I needed one but passed on the conversion kit since I...

    Getting ready to start reloading rifle rounds for the first time

    I've been loading pistol for a while now and have done thousands of them. I'm ready to get into loading for my rifles. I currently have a .30-06 bolt rifle (not planning to load for it), an AR-15, and an AR-10 in 308 WIN. I've accumulated a bunch of 223/5.56 and 308 brass and I have one box of...

    Loading accurate .308 for an AR-10?

    I've been loading pistol ammo for a while now and am ready to take the next step and reload some of the .308 brass I've been accumulating. The only .308 I own is a GA Precision GAP-10 with an 18" barrel. It shoots great groups with various factory ammo I've tried and I want to try to replicate...

    Crimping plated bullets?

    I just got my first batch of plated bullets from the UPS man. They're Berry's 9MM 115g RN. Naturally, I went straight to the press to load a few and see how they compare to FMJs. I left all my dies set the way they are to load FMJs and created a few dummy rounds. I didn't have to adjust the...
