yes, same as I thought , I knew the low one was bad when it broke , only using a 10 power , Nikon , and is pretty hard to see 1 moa red dot at 200. Only Neck Sizing45-70 neck sizing only? That 3031 looked pretty good.

My Buddy keeps telling me that, thanksThat is good shooting for a light rifle with only 10power optics. It will be a great hunting rig.
I enjoy the .243 Winchester ( .308 case ). But IMHO any bullet diameter with the 308 case is a keeper. I would have liked to see a .257 bullet in that case. Never know what they are thinking when they make there decisions. Like having the 450 Bushmaster headspace on the case mouth. Especially for an AR platform. Who thought of that?????I still cant believe the 260Rem never caught on like the 6.5 Creed did.

This is worth watching, Erik Cortina ABSOLUTELY knows what he’s doing, and he say’s to NOT worry about “Chasing the Lands” That it’s Stupid (I stil do, because it works for me)
Part 1
Part 2
You CAN’T intelligently Argue with Mr. Cortina’s Success, Check this 5 Shot 1,000 Yard Group out The first 4 Shots measure .3, The 5th Shot opened the Group up to 1.3“ MANY can’t do this at 100 Yards
I seat halfway then rotate the cartridge 180 and finish the seat. No idea whether they’re coencentric or not, but in my head they are.I did not mention concentricity in my ramblings, I don't know what dies you are using, but if you are really serious and curious about this, you might consider purchasing a fixture/tool to check if your loaded rounds are straight.
You can have some general idea if, when you adjust your seating depth as previously discussed, those square marks seem heavier on one side than the other in a uniform sort of way. When you turn loaded rounds in a concentricity fixture you may get a real shock and start looking for hand seating dies and an arbor press.
I did watch and twice , loaded some more like he suggested also borrowed a friends comparatorThat was the video I had watched a couple of days before this thread started (chasing the lands) That 5 shot group video was incredible also. I haven’t played with seating depth yet, just powder charge. I’ve always taken a factory round and screwed my seating die down till it touches the bullet. I then seat to that depth. I know I can wring a lot tighter groups out of it by playing with OAL but what I’ve done with my hunting rifles has worked okay for me so far.
I was taught to do the same as mentioned above. The new dies are a lot better in aligning the bullets than the old standard dies.I seat halfway then rotate the cartridge 180 and finish the seat. No idea whether they’re coencentric or not, but in my head they are.
Let’s not forget the .222 Rem.To my knowledge, the .308 was the most inherently accurate cartridge ever commercially developed until the advent and factory loading of the 6 PPC.
I'm sure the Triple Duce is somewhere close.Let’s not forget the .222 Rem.
