.308

Hello! I’m looking around for a simple, rugged, reliable hunting rifle. Most likely chambered in .308, and I was looking at the Henry Single Shot rifles. I would like this rifle to last a long time with minimal maintenance, and ideally be able to be passed down. Should I consider this single...

General dimension question here: What is the W x Depth x H of a 250 bullet box of 30 Cal .308 168 gr BTHP Match™? Are these dimensions the same all around the table? Or, are they specific for each caliber? My reason for asking is I am making a reloading bench and I would like the dimensions.

Hello guys & gals. So... Just what title says. Any decent-quality rifles that can be found in .308 & 30-06 for around the Mosin price? $300-450? Bolt-action or semi-auto. I've heard Savage Axis 2s & T/C Compass & Ventures. If anyone could be more specific than Brands, & name models, that...

So, I have some 160 grain .308 diameter bullets intended for reloading 30-30 but I don't actually have a .30-30. However, I do have an SKS. Would it be safe to load my 7.62x39 brass with these bullets assuming I can find load data for a bullet that heavy? I know it may not be ideal, but I really...

I'm thinking about buying a bolt-action rifle so that I can stop borrowing those of my friends when we head to our rifle ranges. Primarily, I plan to use it shooting at my club (maximum 200 yards) or my friend's club (maximum 600 yards, but I am not likely to shoot that soon). It may also see...

After having nothing but great luck with Nosler Accubonds, I've been doing a little reading on lead exposure from hunting bullets and have decided to switch to lead free bullets, at least while my sons are very small. I already have a good load for the 127gr Barnes LRX that I will be using in...

Greetings! I’m new to the forum, I have recently acquired an old browning 81 blr in .308 win.Unfortunately I do not have a magazine for it, It is my understanding that the magazines for these have changed slightly over the years. I cannot seem to place the date that the gun was made. The serial...

So I am an the market for a 308 rifle and I have been wondering what rifle gets you the most bang for your buck the PTR 91 or an AR-10 or if there are other rifles in the same price range?

NOTE: This is just for information and in no way is it a suggestion for use. Communication with Sellier & Bellot has been slow due to Holidays and vacations this time of year. A few weeks back I supplied S&B with details of my load data, measurements and photos. Their conclusion, if I were...

I learned something new about Sellier & Bellot primers. Their large rifle primer comes in two different flavors. There is the 5.3 LR and 5.3 LR-SE. S&B's usage chart shows the LR-SE is needed for .308 Win. I'm sad to say I proved them correct at my latest range day. No major damage, but it put a...

Had this happen after just three loads. Lake City brass, .308 Winchester. How may reloads do you typically get from your .308 Win cases?

For all of the rifle cals I reload I use a case gauge to help with sorting cases as to what needs to be done before reloading. This photos shows results after sizing .308 Win cases.

I've been handloading for a variety of rifles over the last two years and am becoming more and more interesting in learning about taking things to the next level for my bolt guns in particular. My most accurate rifle is a Remington 700 in .308 WIN with a Bartlein 24" 5R M24 contour barrel, etc...

Anyone using this bullet? .308 Win 168 grain hollow point boat tail with Hornady's new AMP(advanced manufacturing process) bullet jackets. They say this jacket has zero tolerance for concentricity and near zero wall thickness variation for extreme consistency. The weight bullet to bullet is...

My first question, do you single stage size your .308 or size on a progressive? When annealing, do you prep the brass first, and why? I purchased Lake City .308 once fired brass. I wet tumbled it and once dried I dry media tumbled to polish it up more. This brass with proper lube still takes...

I am looking to buy my first hunting rifle and have decided I would like a Tikka. The "Lite" models intimidate me a bit because of the potential recoil factor. I live in AL, so would likely be hunting deer or headed to GA to hunt hogs. I liked the look of the T3X Hunter and it's a little...

I have a new case trimmer and I am anxious to try it out. I'm setting up for .308 Win. I picked up a "HMR "WCT" Worlds cheapest trimmer!" This is according to Holub Machine & Repair website, LINK I'm waiting on my die set so I can resize the cases and try out this trimmer. I expect it will...

Hello guys, I'm an occasional reader and felt this would be the right forum for this question. I whitetail hunt with a .308. I live in the western part of Kentucky so it is a combination of hardwoods and fields. My longest shot selctions range from 15-325 yards (325 just because that is...

I'm making a move into a little bit longer range category. Will still be hunting white tails and higs for the most part maybe some cayotes or other big varmints, and hears a lot of good news about the the new Ruger American line of rifle. I shot a buddies 308, and it's a very accurate tack...

Looking to buy a 788 for use on deer/antelope/CXP2 type game. Aside from the obvious difference in bullet diameter, I was wondering if there was any experience out there with either of these calibers in this particular rifle. Suggestions are welcome, but I'd like to stick with info relating to...
