    Larry Willis collet die

    It works. Great for extending the case life on 7mm-300 mag, 8mm rem mag and 338 Jarrett

    What is the most overbore cartridge YOU HAVE USED?

    I would have to say my 240 Gibbs is my most overbore. When I burned out the original 1 in 9.5 twist, I re-barreled with a stainless 1 in 8 twist and backed the 95 gr SSTs I shot down to 3350. In the original barrel I ran that bullet at 3540 with 63 gr of Retumbo.

    What would you do?

    Elk at a thousand? do a large case .338. 340 Bee, 338 Jarrett, 338 RUM, 338 Lapua, 338-378. Big bullets to make big holes, and all can be extremely accurate

    Looking for powder thrower + scale

    I have two Belding and Mull Measures (one used for Black Powder only) and a dozen tubes set to different charges. Montana Vintage Arms makes a beautiful B&M clone that is only a little over $200. The measure tubes are more expensive, but I understand original B&M measure tubes will fit and can...

    264 WIN MAG

    I had a blueprinted remington 700 with a 26" wilson 1 in 8 twist barrel. my best load was 80 grains of LRT with a 140 speer gold dot. This combo killed deer out to 475 yards and I only recovered one bullet. That bullet was a one shot kill heart shot at 250, and displayed a perfect mushroom...

    Those are some awesome looking bullets. Could you share anything about them?

    Anyone able to get any 7mm Cartridge to 3300/160 or 3200/175gr?

    I load for my brother's 28" barreled Sako 7mm STW.. I get excellent accuracy with necked down Bertam 8 mag brass and 140 accubonds with 83 gr of H1000. Chrono avg. for 5 shots was 3415. I also have a wildcat 7mm based on the 8x68. It has 90 grains of water capacity to the base of the neck...

    7-300 WM or 300 WM

    I have great results with 195 EOL and LRT. I load to 3.57" for DBM. The Berger likes to jump.

    9.3x62 Does anyone shoot it?

    using IMR 4350 you can reach 2400 fps with a compressed load. If your rifle has a long throat for heavy bullets as my CZ does, you can go to 66 grains according to some older manuals. The base of the 285 gr Hawk bullets I use is barely seated to the base of the neck, and when I loaded 286 gr...

    IMR 4831 Go to powder for what?

    I like it in my 8x68 pushing a 220 woodleigh PP at 2800 fps

    9.3x62 Does anyone shoot it?

    I have shot a 9.3 for about 18 years from a cz 550. My rifle has a long freebore and I can seat bullets way out. It takes quite a bit more powder to reach factory velocity than my reloading manuals indicate. I bought Nosler custom ammo for it when I first shot it and the box listed the 286...

    What is the one piece of hunting/shooting advice you would give yourself if you could go back in time

    My advice to young me would be quit partying and save the money for components!

    rebarreling a mauser

    Make it into a 22-6mm and it will feed perfectly as you are using the same parent case. I have two. You can easily load these to 220 swift velocity at lower case pressure with the larger case volume, or push a little harder and beat swift velocity by a fair margin

    Any 9.3x62 shooters on here?

    I've had a 9.3x62 550 American for many years. It has killed deer, Elk and Bear with dispatch. When the 286 partitions grew too expensive for my preference I shifted to the 285 gr. Hawk bullets with a .035" jacket. I haven't recovered one to see if there was jacket separation in game, but I...

    Quickload help for a new(ish) wildcat?

    Thanks for your input! I still have hope that a Quickload user would be willing to run this with slow powders. VV 165 or slower! I didn't reply sooner as I was chasing Yogi and BooBoo in the Highland Mtns
