    Greetings All, This is probably a good time to make a plug for minimalist load development. You can burn up a huge stock of components for little return. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy...

    csmiffy liked post by grandpamac On thread : 228 Speer projectiles in 223.
    Oh really? Why on earth would anyone use oversize projectiles when the same projectile in the correct size is available. The 70 grain Speer projectile is very blunt and has a long bearing surface to...

    RugerM77 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Fl sizer not sizing the neck?
    Greetings tommygun, A possible solution, short of a whole new die set, is to buy a Lee collet neck die. You could use your current FL sizing die for the bodies and size the necks as a separate...

    mattstr liked post by grandpamac On thread : .308 ammunition advice
    Greetings, So far you have tried three types of ammo and none shot better than OK. Perhaps the next step is to get the rifle checked over to see if there is a problem. The .308 will shoot any half...

    RUMPY liked post by grandpamac On thread : .233 recommendations
    Greetings, Make sure that what you get has a 1 in 8" twist. These still shoot the 55 grain projectiles well but can also handle the heavier projectiles with much better BC's. In my safe sits a...

    NewbieZAR liked post by grandpamac On thread : Remington 783 in 270
    Greetings, The 783 has a 1 in10 inch twist so it would be best to stick to a 130 grain projectile for a start. GPM.

    RugerM77 liked post by grandpamac On thread : .308 ammunition advice
    Greetings, I looked at the Sako data for the Game head and the low BC suggests that the projectiles are flat base, likely why they shoot OK. It looks as though your rifle is a lot like my old...

    Greetings Blackfern, I seated my first primer around 1970 am still waiting for handloading to save me money. It has, however, kept me mentally active even 8 years into retirement and may help stave...

    Greetings again, The Sako ammo shooting around MOA suggests that the rifle is capable of decent accuracy and does better with the blunter projectiles which have more bearing surface. I did a load...
