Re: Hornady 150gr sst

Well damit. I’m scared to look up for any corrections to my pet 308 165SST load. I dang sure don’t want to any changes. Thanks for the update links. why would you have to correct an already developed, tested, safe and working pet load? #askingForAFriend I wouldn’t. My point in a jokingly manner was...

Re: Lead rings? Here's why

I thought you were going to tell us that was a $600 Hawkeye. I ordered that. For 50 bucks, why not?

Frankly it looks better than some of the Hawkeye photos I’ve seen.

Thank you.

Re: Hornady 150gr sst

Luckily for me, there were no 308 corrections. And I do appreciate you pointing us to this correction page.

I hope the original poster will let us know what he decided to do?

Re: Speer 125gr TNT - Great Deal Today

I’m just thankful the plastic boxes they come in were actually boxed individually in their own cardboard box inside the larger shipping container. I ordered six and three of the boxes were damaged two of them completely spilled out inside the cardboard box. I wonder if the price of lead went down or...

Re: Hornady 150gr sst

Edit: I just checked quick load and without updating anything to make changes to how the program calculates. The difference between 2.210 inches with your powder charge shows a pressure of 54,266 PSI. Using 2.110 shows 75,306 PSI. As an alternative to check for pressure you could take the same load ...

Re: Hornady 150gr sst

I guess what I'm asking is, would you fire a round and then check for pressure signs? Or would you just pull all 100 rounds and reseat them? Just try what dellet said and load up a few more cartridges at that overall length but start well below current powder charge, increasing powder charge until ...

Re: Hornady 150gr sst

Is that powder charge a “known” charge for you? I’ve always felt that 1680 was the safest powder available for this cartridge. I have never used those medium weight supersonic bullets in black out so I have no personal experience, but the times that I have experimented with 1680 trying to see what t...
