Accuracy of a .308 can be can be tightened up over high dollar ammo by using top quality bullets and powder primer selection for long range accuracy. I have used the Sierra match king 168 boat tails with much success.
1. Fire form the brass in your favorite .308 Do not mix brands or lot numbers of your brass.
2. Use a good set of neck size only dies, afterword's this reloaded ammo should only be fired out your favorite .308.
3. Run your fire formed brass through your brass polisher of choice to make em look brand new.
4. After depriming use a primer pocket uniforming tool.
5. Trim all cases to spec then lightly chamfer the neck inside and out.
6. Carefully weigh each powder charge for maximum uniform charge. All samey same!!!
7. Set the bullet OAL to within several thousands from touching the lands and grooves.
8. Use lightest amount of crimp if any to keep the projectile from setting back during recoil.
As a re-loader it is extremely satisfying when you can tighten up your groups. It does require a lot of steps but saves a lot of $$ if you are already set up for it.

That sounds like a lot of effort.

Not bad, you?

I just put a roast in the crock pot with some cubed butternut squash since we don't do potatoes because of the carb thing. (The squash probably has just as much, with my luck.)

MMMMMMM, sounds yummy, Hello Snap

This is just part of the process, folks. The Wizard is talking himself into a .308. Please stay tuned to this station.

Hi Maan, it is but for a long range bolt gun you are not loading to shoot a lot at any one time so it is not so bad when you already have all the toys to do it.

Did you buy from Amazon or a different seller?

The ad says "ships and sold by Amazon", but it's actually a 3rd party seller.

That certainly introduces a load of bah, humbug in amongst your ho, ho, ho.

Hi LLH. Hope it is. I also put in a package of onion soup mix and a smidge of barbecue sauce. We'll see.

I don't think I have ever had that where it says sold by Amazon but it ends up being a 3rd party seller. Did you inadvertently select a different seller other than Amazon?

I have to be at work by 3, so hopefully it will be done enough to have some before I leave.

That doesn't work for me. I don't get off until four now.

No.

Well that sucks.

I just added the item to my cart and this time it still says "ships from Amazon" and had the 1 day option... Paid twice the item cost for shipping, so this better ****ing work.


Might be a "fool me twice" situation.
