   Greetings All, I think the first thing to do in dealing with sizing problems is to understand what the problem is. Nine times out of ten a tight case is due to the case not having been sized enough....

   Greetings Bill999, Making .280 Rem brass out of .270 or .30-06 cases is not as simple as making 7mm-08 cases out of .308 cases. The .280 Rem is over 1mm (0.050") longer to the shoulder than .270 or...

   Greetings, AR2208 is easy to ignite, especially with LRP in a .308 case. Magnum primers give no advantage and possibly less than that. My go to powder in the .308 is AR2206H and has been for some...

   Certainly a great cartridge that gets better the older it gets. It survived the US attempts to emasculate it with wimpy loads and many cartridges that tried to succeed it. GPM.

   Greetings All, I did quite a bit on this a few years back which I wrote up in a couple of articles in NZ Guns. The Hodgdons data seemed to fit the powder I had well including my older AR2209 but the...

   That load would be far too hot for any rifle with todays AR2209 which is significantly faster than the pre 2000 stuff. Regards Grandpamac.

   Greetings Sidetrack, Something is seriously wrong with the rifle to shoot that badly, most likely the action binding on the mag box or other serious bedding problem. Did you fire it with the .308...

    Greetings, Ball powders are harder to ignite and some older manuals recommended using Large Rifle Magnum primers for them. GPM.
