accuracy

Please note: I am deliberately NOT mentioning a brand name here, because that will immediately sidetrack all discussion into arguments about that and other brand names. This is about personal tastes and aesthetics, which are not unique matters to any particular make, market niche, or model. So...

Hi all, I've done a bit of precision shooting but it was with friends rifles and not my own. I'm mostly a handgun shooter and reloader chasing perfect groups. I'm in the market for an "entry level" precision rifle that's accurate as heck. I've been eyeballing the savage 110 elite precision. I...

Hi all, Just acquired an American made sig p210 target pistol. I'm stoked on the new piece and I'm already thinking about handloading match grade ammo for it (haven't even fired it yet lol) Does anyone out there load for this pistol? If so what grain/style of bullet do you have the best results...

Hi wondering if anyone has good load recipes for hp38 for 45 acp. The components I have on hand are RMR 230gr fmj, new starline brass and cci 300 primers as well as remington 2 1/2 primers. I was also curious about the interchangeability between these two primers. I'm looking for ball spec...

I am considering trading my Savage MSR-10 .308 in for a nice used bolt action and wanted to see if anyone had advice here. The idea is if I had a medium priced bolt gun might have a more natural feel to it and shoot tighter groups, thus allowing me to take longer shots. My MSR-10 shoots about...

As I am researching to buy a new chronograph, I see most of them have +/- 0.5% or +/- 0.25% accuracy. This means for a 3000FPS projectile. The measurement error could be +/- 15 FPS (For 1000 FPS rounds, the error is +/- 5FPS). I also see quite a few online videos showing their range testing...

I will be creating a ladder load to test accuracy at 50m for reduced H4895 (AR2206H) loads with a 55g Nosler Varm HP. Brass: ADI Primer: Fiocchi SR Projectile: Nosler Varm 55g HP Powder: H4895 (AR2206H) Load Max: 26g Loads will be from 60% in 5% increments, 4 shot groups to 95%. Barrel will be...

Hey all, I’ve been reloading a few years now on my lee single stage press and am considering purchasing one of the many progressive presses out there. My question is how much faster is a progressive press really. If I’m not mistaken I still need to pull the case out after sizing to trim...

I just bought some Federal Fusion 165gr to test in my .308 and I noticed many of the bullets have uneven pieces of lead sticking off of the tip. I was wondering if I need to take a razor blade to the tips of some of them to make them more aerodynamic. I do know Federal has a process to make the...

I have a stock Mossberg 590 Shockwave and have been shooting it. I noticed it shoots about a foot high at 10 yards and I believe the reason is the action is higher than the barrel, so when I aim with the beed I have to aim lower than if I had a rail along the barrel like a hunting shotgun would...

How many .45 Raptor handloaders do we have here? Have you achieved the accuracy you were searching for with your loads in your rifle? Did you have any struggles with TIR? I am still trying to find the accuracy I want (would love to fine <=MOA). In my searching, I have realized that my TIR is...

I'm new to reloading but have been shooting pistols for years. When most self defense encounters take place within 21 feet cleaning and uniforming primer pockets, chronographing every shot with different bullet weights and different powders seems like a lot of needless work. Thanks

hello everyone, I recently worked up a load with the 73 grain Hornady ELD match in 5.56 NATO. I worked them up using once fired brass that appeared to be Lake City based on the headstamp that I got from some full metal jacket plinking ammo that I used up. I used 28.0 grains of PowerPro 2000 MR...

I've got a Remington 700 in 308 that I started reloading for to get the best accuracy possible First, my gun: it started life as a Remington 700 ADL varmint with a blind box magazine, a Cabelas special. It's got a 1:12 bull barrel that is 26" long... I got it for a great price. Since then I...

So the Hornady scale that came with my LnL kit is pretty jank, its kinda slow to read and the displayed weights jump around by +-0.2 grains every now and then, and if you leave a weighted amount sitting in it for an extended period of time the displayed weight grows by as much as 0.6 grains over...

Hi all, I am new to reloading. I have been taking my time doing a lot of reading and planning. Last weekend I did some testing of 4 different loads. All loads were identical except I used 3 different types of brass and the 4th load I tested for any differences from my case length being 1.750...

Page 38 and 39 (believe it’s page 57 before current updates) discusses crimping rifle rounds. Chapter 2 with subject of crimping rifle rounds. Basically: 1. If you don’t firmly crimp then you must load close to lands or you won’t get sufficient start pressure. 2. Factories can’t custom load...

Howdy folks I am looking for a new scope for a soon to be purchased rifle the rifle - Savage Model 12 VLP .223 Uses to shoot itty bitty little groups at small targets such as playing cards I would like a fine duplex reticle price let’s keep it under $1,000 Any suggestions?

Howdy everyone Here is my question, Would changing from Hornady large rifle primer brass (6.5 Creedmoor) to Starline Small rifle Brass make a big difference in group size if all other things were equal? Same bullet,charge, primer, oal

Opinions are welcome Curious how the readers feel muzzle devices impact accuracy +/- For my bolt 223, I have A1 & A2 Birdcages, VG6 Gamma brake/comp and a thread protector. Last outing my Ruger American Predator wore the VG6 & factory polymer stock with poor results from SMK 69 (1 1/2...
