Hello All,

I found this site while trying to find info on measuring ogive's.
I load for just about every gun I own, but what really gets me excited is loading for precision long range shooting. I shoot .308 out to 1,000, I soon hope to load my 50 DTC out close to a mile, but we'll see.

Welcome.  You'll find like minded reloaders.  Enjoy.  The 6.5x47 Lapua sounds interesting, keep us posted.

Thanks guys....It might be a while for the 6.5. I want to build a 243 long range set up then move on to the 6.5.
This site looks great, I love reading about reloading almost as much as reloading.
