Greetings. I have a brand new Bergara HMR Premier Pro in .308. I cleaned the bore and wiped down the bolt with light gun oil to remove all mfg oils. Cleaned off oil carefully and slid bolt back in place. I made a dozen test shots with some Winchester factory rounds to get me on paper and...

I used a Hornady bullet OAL gauge to find the ogive distance to the rifling in a new Bergara .308 bolt gun. If I have consistent readings of OAL 2.2525 ogive to the rifling, what would be an acceptable distance to back that off? How much jump would I want to start with for a few test loads...

I've reloaded a few years but would be considered an occasional or seasonal (hunting) reloader. I have RCBS dies for my RCBS single stage loader(s). I have two loaders so my sizing/decapping die stays in its loader, and the bullet seating die stays in a separate loader. I stick to .308 so not...

My new Bergara HMR rifle needs a scope, so I'm in the market to buy something reasonably priced for this .308. I have Zeiss and Swarovski on other rifles I own, so I am familiar with their quality....AND their prices. So I'm looking for a $1,000 - $1,500 scope (or in that range) that allows me...

Anyone have experience with choices between these two versions? Product literature lists a key upgrade feature as a TriggerTech Frictionless trigger in the Pro, and reviews on this gun really seem to like the trigger upgrade. I am a trigger man to be sure, so this is a very important plus in...

One of my whitetail hunting buddies has hunted with his Bergara 6.5 this season and has made kills with each shot. He trailed one, but heck, that happens with virtually any caliber. He loves this gun, but I think he is nuts over this caliber for some reason. His is not the HMR, but a more...

I bought a SIG QD 762 suppressor primarily to use on a 300 BO with sub rounds. But I thought I'd try it on my Ruger SR762 .308 to tame at least some of the sound report from standard velocity rounds. I tested the suppressor on the .308 with the same standard velocity rounds I load and hunted...

I did my best research and loaded several boxes of test rounds for my new Sig Virtus 300 BO. The loads are 19 grains of H110 pushing a 110 gr Tac-TX black tip. I ordered a Sig QD can last year, so I removed the factory flash hider and replaced it with a Sig QD muzzle brake and have shot it a...

I'm an experienced hand loader, but new to the 300 BO caliber. I have read reviews from hog hunting magazines that Remington's Hog Hammer ammo is pretty good stuff on feral hogs, so I bought some of the TTSX 130 gr pills. I'll be shooting at 100 yards max, and typically I set my blinds/stands...

I have a new Sig MCX AR in 300 BO. The rifle has a 16.5", 1:6 twist barrel and will be shot unsuppressed. I was given a load to try, but w/o a chronograph, I'm not sure what ball park velocity I should be close to? 110 grain Barnes TAC-TX Win Small Rifle primer 19 grains H110 powder. I was...

This is my first foray into 300 BO, and while .308 and 30-06 are long time calibers I have loaded, 300 BO is all new to me. My platform is an AR with a 16" suppressor affixed barrel with a 1:6 twist. I have some 220 gr sub rounds I bought to test on hogs at close range, so my focus will be...

My goal is a suitable .308 Bolt gun to shoot suppressed with subsonic loads. Some things I need to consider... Barrel length - My Sig QD suppressor is 8". I'd like to get a fairly short threaded 1:10 factory barrel so the overall length is not crazy long with the suppressor affixed. I prefer...

Wanting to hand load some subsonic .308 ammo for feral hog control before spring planting. Realizing I have limited range with sub ammo, I setup 2 stands with feeders at 75 and 85 yards. I have a Ruger SR 762 with a suppressor. Twist is 1:10. I realize there may be a cycling issue so I can...

I have a Ruger SR 762 and tried to shoot 3 different subsonic factory loads this week...they would not cycle with a can attached despite gas piston adjustments for under-powered ammo. In a previous thread, someone suggested different calibers may cycle more effectively. Is the 300 Blackout one...

Has anyone been successful in getting this rifle to cycle with subsonic ammo? I haven't tried it yet but figured the piston would need to be in position 3 to have any chance of cycling. If you have made this work, any load suggestions?

I use a small EDC Knife for as many purposes as we can name from opening boxes to slitting corn sacks to fill feeders. I want something that is lightweight, durable and can keep a sharp edge meaning decent steel I suppose. I carried a Spyderco Ladybug for a good year and it served my purpose...

Not a .38 Special reloader per se, but wife got a new revolver for a birthday gift. Planned to make up some practice loads and all I have is a basket of casings that are silver (nickel). Are these ok to use? I know aluminum is out, but nickel cases ok for light practice rounds?

My buddy has become discouraged with his new AR15 he bought to hunt hogs. He has shot several but only wounded them. I am sure I'll get responses regarding shot placement which I have been trying to get him to adjust. He is using 55gr bullets in the 16" 1:8 twist rate barrel. 5.56 round My...

I have an active thread going about motorizing this case trimmer, but this question is about the case trimmer itself.... When I insert the brass in place in the universal shell holder, the mouth of the brass will not line up with the collet on the trimmer head. The collet (yes I have the...

Greetings. I am looking for a motorized case trimmer to make life a bit more simple. I mainly stick to .30-06 and .308 Win brass, and would not call myself a high volume loader. When I load, I typically do it in 50 round batches but in a very precise way. I have a manual RCBS Trim-Pro...
