    grandpamac I have over 100 cases (same make, Buffalo for the 223 (unsure the case maker), Sako for the 308, and PPU for the 303) for each calibre so it'll take a while to go through each one 3 times...

    The latest W760 may not be the same as the older lots since it was combined to N414. I believe 760 was morthed into N414 not the other was round. There may now be differences old to new. At any rate...

    Mate, this has been a topic on forums for years and years, and nowadays on YouTube. It never reaches a conclusive end. It has tended to swing more towards FLSing of recent years although I imagine...

    Absolutely it is. If you wanted to play with seating depth that may increase the accuracy, or not. Either way 1” is as good as most rifles/ person combination get. What’s of more consequence is...

    Load up 20 and go hunting. 1” at 100 will be accurate enough out to 300yds or so if taking shoulder shots on deer.

    grandpamac liked post by gundoc On thread : 308 vs 30/06
