A while ago Cablas had 25grn on for $17.00 abox with free shipping I order 20 boxes!

Ok, remember rule 1,,, never start at max and never take anyones word. Rule 2,,,,, when starting with new lot numbers back off 5% and work back up. A couple of years ago I got a box of primes, brand is not important, I did not check the lot# and loaded up a box, (with my goto load). Got to the...

Case capacidy, internal barrel length, and flat base or boat tail are only the tip of the ice burg. Unless you have a Prowley slide rule or are a balistic savont just go with start load on confermed published data and work up. You may get lucky and find something quickly. Over the years I have...

I have a 7mm rm that is only 7 lbs 6 onces. In it I put a mercury recoil suppressor (google that), then added a clamp on muzzle break from Whit machine. I now can fire it from a rest without holding the stock. Both items have changed how I shoot. A warning about thebreak it is loud.

Me, old school. Been duck hunting with a navy arms sxs 12 gauge sice early 80s. Buckets of fun! I also have a 50 cal Hawkins knock off. In that I use 70grn 777. A box board disc then a 250grn Lee real bullet. Since I only hunt from a blind the lead bullet works just fine. The disc is 13mm...

Ww2 6.5 jap out of a huskavarna no problem.

me I just stay at or near start, never a problem. My main worry is primers now they can really make a huge difference in preasure

if you do go with the tubes that I use get yourself a gasket cutter (13mm or 9/16") cut discs from box board (cerial boxes), and place them between the bullet and powder this will prevent the lube from contaminating the powder. When you pour the powder in the bore push both the disc and bullet...

I have a Hawkin 50 cal percussion cap. I use a Lee 250grn real bullet lubed with bees wax. After I cast my bullets I place them in a silcon pan pour the melted wax in to the top ridge filling both cavities. I then after the wax hardens cut out the bullets with a tube (pick them up from the...

I just saw it here. But, I own the FA powder throw, wet tumbler with the media seperator, and a FA digital scale. All work as advertised. The powder throw and scale are extremely accuate so I don't see any problems happening with that auto dispenser. If I where in the market for an auto...

better than Napalm

this has happened to me with a 7rm, CCI250's my usual then tried WLRM and pin holes blown out. I just gave the WLRM's to a friend and he had the same thing happen. We tossed the rest of them and went back to CCI

when you subtract 288 from 291 that is only 3 grn or 1.1% difference. Did you measure the OAL of the brass after sizeing? If some are longer then trim them down to the length of the shortest and chamfer/debur then re weight. You might be right on the money.

westex91 is correct about checking neck tension and the loaded mag issue. But, another thing you may want to try is after loading your mag tap it forward to shuffle the bullets to the front of the mag then they will move with the rifle with recoil instead of having the nose smashed by the mag

always go direct I say. And RCBS and Lee have both the best customer service.
