I did use GRT using My OAl and info for my 308 using your 38 g charge of reloader 15

it might or might not function the action ( each rifle is different )

Its a place to start, and you can see...

Right side is better as your right thumb Presses down better when a case is on the right
Try it both ways and I think you will stay to the right


Yes the 12g empty shot gun shell works for M1a...

when you load your e-block load the last round so is on the right side

Alway Load a round from a eblock.... NEVER just slide a round into the chamber and let the Bolt slam forward

If buying...

How can you shoot 308 in a action designed for 3006

Good News you have a barrel Marked 308 so instead of using a 30-06 reamer they used a 308 reamer
Just be careful if you more than 1 garand on...

BMB on the bolt = Beretta its a good bolt

CBI Barrel Drawing #/ Twist / Date made / and I think port size

Speer #11 has reloading data for 473AA

its a Husqvarna Commercial Fn98 in 8x57 and when I saw it I thought rebarrel to 358 winchester as I have...

I kinda tried that today, turned up the pot to get better fill then was cast in fast and not even waiting got the sprune to get 100% solid ( sprune would crack when dropped on the other sprunes all...

So I just bought a lee 00 buck shot gun mould :)

Wondering what Will happen if I use the same lead I cast all my rifle and pistol bullets out of

will the harder lead have any effect, on my...

your new load is close to the 5%+- mark , that I have been told is what you can expect from changing from one lot to another

you new lot is 5% faster so you need to use less

I think from a pistol barrel 300 -400 fps +-


you did not tell us any of your load data / bullet weight/ shape /seating depth or oal
the above will all effect what goes down the barrel

Not sure on how it will work in rifle cases as the fill ratio will be low

I have used it in cast 357 mag and a few others

look for IMR data around 2007 and there could be some online data

What is the barrel twist of your rifle?
what yardage are you shooting at ? 100 yds ??

have you tried any 158g ? if the 200 do not work try some thing lighter

try at 50

are you over...

Prob made in the 60 or the 70

I used GRT with my data, changed barrel length and powder

GRT predicts bullet velocity in the 1000 fps range
Your muzzle pressure is less than 400 psi = why you are sticking a bullet
Fill ratio...

What I have found

New springs might have function issues, as in they might eject a fired case but not pick up a new round,
if testing new loads I have a tool kit I take to the range and if I get...

check out some of the bullets made for the 30-30 or the 300 AAC Blackout
they will work better at the lower velocities
