Guest varmartin Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi Millpool, Its funny , I was talking to Silent yesterday about your .308 SSG and asked what load you use. I said I bet if you could do some long range shooting with yours after working up a good load, then may be you would keep it and join us for some long range summer shooting sessions ? Its a pi** easy load, nothing tricky just good components that have been tried and proven to work in an awful lot of 7.62/.308`s. Don`t sell it till you have tried it mate, cos you will never know if you don`t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 get on to him again Nigel, He is a funny sort....usually he as got frig all. I managed to pick up every thing I needed to reload and clean a 308 in one visit. The only thing he did not have was a set of reloading Dies...I am still deciding which ones to get though It will end being LEE I am sure...as that`s what Jamie used when he put 50 together for me whilst I was fixing the scope and playing with my new toy in his Ex- bedroom come re-loading room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks for all your kind words chaps..it is nice when things come together, especially when you buy a used rifle in an unknown condition. When the time allows I will stretch her legs right out there and report on the results. Millpool, thanks for the offer on the Dies...I will have them off of you buddy..catch up soon.

Guest varmartin Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Went out for a shoot with Silent last night on our piece of land nick named...`Little Africa`. ( for the amount of varied game it holds ) A most enjoyable evening had too. First bunny was by silent with his 17hmr 60 yards as a warmer shot...now out with the .223 and he vapourised one at 145 yards. I got the 7.62 out and scored a first round cold bore kill at 212 yards. Then another at 245 yards , missed one at 245 yards ..( not enough wind ) Then nailed one at 285 yards. it won a gold for a Quad back somersault Then Silent showed me how to launch a 220 yard bunny 30 foot in the air with his 7.62 Parker Hayle...awesome , We will have to get some on video next time.

I tested the run out before and after neck sizing on Silents Lee collet dies and if a Nat's chuff there was next to NO run out.!!! That proves my chamber is `TRUE` and Lee dies are very usable.!!! Hi Ian, 155 grains certainly launches little bunnies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxing2night Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi matey,, I have been looking at some forster ultra dies!!!! The load that i have been using was 46.5 of vit 140 and 155 scenars In lapua brass But i think that this is a hot load,, Good for 1000 yards,, Will try some varget???, It seems that a lot of people like it ??? Reloader 15 Is a good one,,,, And vit 540 To be honest if the varget will perform in my gun!!! then i will stick with it,,,,, All the best, Darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varmartin Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi Darrel, Onehole has just picked me up some LEE deluxe dies as a stop gap, to keep me going until I visit the USA. Your load is hot, but if it is not showing any pressure signs and you get good accuracy...go with it. should be 2900 ish ? It will also stay supersonic to 1200 yards Varget is in short supply in the last 4 places I have looked, so stock up if you can get it !! I also have R15 and 540, so we are on the same lines Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
