"match" chamber what dies?
The key is, it minimum FL sizes the case. So if you have a minimum(match chamber) it does little more than supports the case. and the resizing bushing floats and allows the neck to be aligned to the case like your chamber is. Case longevity depends on working the case as little as possible. I only have 100 cases 50 never fired I shoot the same cases over again so far about have about 6 firings on the cases for this rifle. At some point may have to anneal, which is not a big deal. BTW I've never had to trim a case.

"match" chamber what dies?
I use these in 243Win....http://www.midwayusa.com/product/271533/redding-type-s-match-bushing-2-die-set-308-winchester?cm_vc=ProductFinding They require you buy a specific diameter bushing as well. You've got me doing it again..... It minimum full length sizes and just sizes the neck. I remove the expander button. Clean the inside of the neck with a brush and size. BTW I never tumble my brass. Clean each case with alcohol before and after lubing. Clean the inside of the neck with a bore brush. Size the bushing by measuring bullet and case mouth wall. Calculate desired neck tension.

"match" chamber what dies?
Vlad you are very much in the ball park. Right, you have to work with you individual rifle and components. You have to do ladders for charge and length, you have to read your cases. He has to go buy a chrono so he can do velocity ladders. To much stuff for a thread, that's why they write books. Tony Tubbs has some good stuff out there but I take his stuff with a grain of salt because he has a business he has to support. Seriously, and Vlad you have an idea of the ends I take development to, It takes me at least six range sessions and 2-4 weeks to get a load shooting <1/2".

"match" chamber what dies?
You guys are sucking me right into this and I didn't want to do this.... You can back-off your full length sizing die by the smallest of margins, and, in effect, have a neck-size only die. Yes, this is the shade tree way of doing it but you spent good money on that rifle so get a set of Reading bushing dies Concentricity of the finished round is important for optimum accuracy. Collet type seating dies and outside neck turning help in this regard. You should also chamfer the flash holes of your brass. Separate by headstamp and trim to uniform length. Try and stay away from neck turning if you can. Buy some good Lapua brass(some places have it on sale now) Forget the primer pockets if they look good. If you buy "308 Palma brass" they take small rifle primers an work nice for a consistent burn. NO MORE TIPS ON THE WEB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK Gloves back on though I do find you attitude condescending and aloof. Battle sight 8" circle @ <50yds off hand. Out at 300yds 6" group with A2 small aperature prone. Time? I have no idea.

Does anybody even bother
Totally agree. But for the close stuff I shoot both eyes open and use the large aperture. Very seldom do I use it but it's there.

Superstar!!! You are just the bomb. Wish I could be as good as you!

Does anyone ever use the battle sight on an A2 rear sight? I find it quick and effective.

Any 6.8 SPC owners here?
Wojo - I should have my 6mm AR sometime in March. It'll take 2-4 weeks to sort it. But you're welcome to have a go at it. I'm looking at 95gr bullets @ 3000+- fps. 243 Win ballistics in a small framed AR. Component availability is good. As I'm sure you know i'st nothing but a necked down 6.5 Grendel and shoots Grendel mags.

WOJO - What's your intended use and what platform are you going to shoot in? Semi or bolt? I considered 6.8 but went to 6mmAR.

This is NOT for anyone in particular. Look you bunch of wieners... If any sighting system was voided there would be a gap in firearms development. They all have their place. In my advanced years I've seen all these systems come to fruition. I've shot with all of them. One thing hasn't been mentioned which is a component in he type of system used and why they are accepted by individuals and agencies. TRAINING!!! Some systems are easier to train on so they become more popular. What I choose for games may not be what I choose for SHTF. Play nice girls.

What mode Remington 700 as a base rifle and a few other ???
That totally explains it. No need to watch the video. So few people shoot at that distance. I totally understand. Sure 308 is going to make the trip? How many grains?
